Thank you Old Lady for making me Laugh

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:30:00 +0000

I wanna Thank You, Old lady, with your witty yet funny answer when I asked you today at the convenient store that " Did you watch the Presidential Debate last night?" and you laughingly told me that you didn't, as you were watching wrestling cuz its interesting and sexy to watch two macho man fighting in their shorts rather watching a bald aged white guy and an African American man talking bullshit to prove each others policies wrong. Though you were being ignorant, you made me LOL!!!!!!

Netflix addresses delayed shipment issue by offering 15% credit to the customers.

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:44:00 +0000

If you are a Netflix customer and you shipped your latest DVD back this week before Friday, you might be wondering that why Netflix hasn't received that DVD and mailed the next one up in the queue. Apparently, they had some issues at their shipping centers and Netflix has addressed this issue by apologizing on the members' home page and offering 15% credit in the next billing. What a great way of customer care and doing business without having brick and mortar stores. Really appreciated......

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:19:00 +0000

Humans are like goats. We'll eat any damned thing. Just ask the people who make PowerBars.

In fact, you'll find foods in this world that don't even seem possible. Not just that they could exist, but that people would actually stick this stuff in their mouths without a gun to their head.

We've found six dishes that seemed to have sprung from Satan's own cookbook.

Reader's Digest: Best Subscription I've ever got!

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:29:00 +0000

A year or so ago, I ordered prints of some of my pics from www.snapfish.com, a very good photo hosting, sharing and printing website. For being a (loyal) customer,in the confirmation e-mail it sent me a link to www.mybonuscenter.com from where I could apply for subscription of upto 4 magazines for merely $2.00 each. I am always very cautious about such websites but, the offer was very lucrative and tempting so I ordered only one magazine of which I'm always very fond of. Yeah, You guessed it right ...."Reader's Digest". That was the best deal/subscription I've ever got in my life so far. The offer was legitimate, I was charged only $2.00 on my credit card. I regularly got all the 12 issues plus a condensed select edition book. All for only $2.00. The retail price for single issue is $3.00. Of course, the offer was tricky as If I wouldn't have canceled my subscription at the end of the year then my credit card would have been charged regular subscription charges. But before they continue my subscription for the next year,at the end of the year, I got a mail from RD asking whether I wanted to continue or not and canceling the subscription (which I did of course)was also a swift process. And then after a few days I got another mail consisting another select edition book and two gift items. Wow, 12 issues, two select edition books and two gift items...too good a deal for $2.00.

And besides of all these, I haven't even mentioned about the best quality stuff that I got to read in those 12 issues.
I checked RD website and found out that its only $10 for one year and $15 for two year subscription. But, still I'm waiting for someone to give me a coupon code for RD so that I can get it for just $2.00. I know what you might say...what a cheap bastard.... :)

I bought a Nokia N72 and I love it !!!

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:57:00 +0000

Finally I bought a new phone and its not iPhone.Its Nokia N72. I love this phone. Why? Cuz its new, its mine and many other reasons like good looks, light weight and loads of functionalities including, E-mail,IM, music player, Video player, muvee creator, 2.0 MP camera etc...There are a lot more but I don't need them by far now.....

The only con is RS-MMC (Reduced Size-Multimedia Memory)card. The phone came with only 124 MB RS-MMC so I ought to buy a larger capacity RS-MMC.

Animals Used In War - Sadness Humanity :(

noreply@blogger.com (shreyas) — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 00:57:00 +0000

But this post on Cynical-C blog about "Unusual use of animals in war" made me almost vomit in my mouth a bit. So sad.....so sad....shame on you mankind.....
