last year I bought that 6-week body makeover program and promptly returned it due to medical advice.
Guess what?  I'm getting harrassed by collection because they didn't receive it.  Baloney!!!!
So now, to protect my credit and stop the calls, I'm being forced to write a check, which I can't really afford, for a product I didn't even keep.
Talked with Sergio over at 1-888-provida today and he was absolutely useless.   I don't know about you and how you'd feel in this situation, but I feel financially raped.   To be treated like a deadbeat when I acted in good faith and returned their junk is ridiculous.  To add insult to injury, I haven't been able to get the money refunded that they charged to my credit card, Visa says too much time has passed.
So please, learn from my mistake and DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM PROVIDA!  If you start getting sucked in by one of those informercials, for heaven's sake CHANGE THE CHANNEL.   They lie, they steal and they have absolutely no remorse about financially raping ANYONE.
STAY AWAY FROM PROVIDA!!!!!

Okay, will someone please clarify this for me?   I'd love for Rich the weather authority to answer, but I'll take anyone from Fox2.
I was always told in science classes that there was a difference between a thundershower and a thunderstorm with the 'storm' meaning more intensity.Yet Rich tosses the two terms about with abandon, sometimes interchanging them in the same sentence!  Please someone, clarify this . . . are all my past  teachers AND the Weather Channel wrong?  Rich, what is the difference?!?!?!

Where do they get some of the panelists?  That old guy was the most beligerent, bloated windbag I've seen in a long time.  I know activists like to be heard above the crowd, but come on, man!

As soon as someone else gives an insightful opinion, you resort to screaming like  a banshee.   Let me tell you, behavior like that is the reason the great Dr. King is rolling and twisting in his grave.   Bad form dude.

...both financially and automotive-wise.
If you want to tailgate me, when I'm already doing 5 over the limit that's fine.  But don't expect me to increase my speed just to please you.  I'm not going to get a ticket because you want to bury the grill of your car in my license plate.   Boy do I wish car's could fart on command!
Besides, if you're so close, you won't see the potholes I'm dodging and I'd hate for you to suffer the bone-jarring effects of some of those sinkholes growing on VanDyke.
But hey, if you insist on driving so close, why don't we just carpool?  You're on the hook for gas money then!

I read about the young person who died as a  result of huffing, the use of inhalants to get high.
Of course, this has been around for a while.  I remember teachers warning about 'sniffing glue' and stuff like that when I was in school.
The distressing part is the glorification of huffing we see every day on our televisions.  I'm talking about the ads for Febreze.  Come on, people are spraying their drapes and pushing their noses into the fold to 'inhale' the scent.  They have countless ads showing such mindless behavior it's almost as if their encouraging smelling their product in close confines.  
So like I said, any death is sad.  But given the pressure from Febreze advertising, I'm not surprised at all.

Let's look at China's track record...

Poisoned pet food
Dangerous tires
Poisoned toothpaste
More poisoned toys than we can count
Need I go on?
...and now they want us to buy their cars? You have GOT to be kidding!

The only way to keep our children safe from product poisoning is to Boycott ANYTHING from China.
