I totally saw this last night at Party City and thought the exact same thing. I HAD to see if anyone else out there shared the pain! Just crazy as hell!

We went to see Thomas Wolfe memorial home and took a tour in Arboretum a month ago. As for vacation rental home, it is pretty hard to find good place where you love everything, this is why if you found it once, keep coming.

Yoga and other mindfulness exercises help with the mental game in any sport. Being good in sport requires mental fitness as well as phyical fitness in my view

Comment on Consumer Services and Warranty Activation Services Phone Calls by Juli

Hey - I’ve been receiving calls too. Since I’ve been on the do not call list, I just figured they didn’t check it. My husband pushed option 1, informed them that we were on the list and the guy said since we chose option 1 they could call us as often as they wanted. My husband got ticked off, of course and he told him we’d report it to the ftc, and they hung up. They called a couple of days ago and wouldn’t give a name, so we called AT&T (our phone company).

This is the cool part - there is a feature called Call Trace that they activated. Now when they call, I just push *57 and call the Annoyance Call Bureau. They will then contact the company and/or report to the FTC. Maybe if more of us can do this, we can DO SOMETHING about these harassing calls.

Comment on Review of Vivetique Organic Innerspring Mattress by Grant Ingersoll

I guess I would just make sure you try it out before hand. The smell does dissipate over time, but it took longer than 30 days. There is still a hint of it now, but not much. I guess it can depend on when the wool is harvested, so not all mattresses may turn out that way.

I can’t believe they told you to wait and then they said it’s too late to take it back!

I’ve been thinking of getting an organic mattress so I’ll be sure to smell it before purchasing, after reading what you have to say about yours.

I might add, that all the people saying to bring outside food, etc. clearly agree with me that Carowinds is too expensive on that front. If it wasn’t, they would buy their food there, since who wants to do all that prep work ahead of time.

I will almost guarantee you, though, that if more people did it (> 50%), Carowinds would say “No Reentry Allowed” b/c their profits would be so negatively impacted.

Sorry, “Carowinds” suck-up, but I call bullshit. Yes, they are nice tips, but how good are they when you’ve never been there before and you just drove 3+ hours to go there for the day looking for a Theme Park experience. As I already said multiple times, I don’t intend on going back.

The fact is, I’ve been to other theme parks (Six Flags, etc.) and I don’t recall them charging this much.

As for “Who acrually spends that much money on food at a THEME PARK! ” The answer is a lot of people do, otherwise why did I wait in line so long every time I wanted to get something to eat?

I don’t understand why you are so happy to let them off the hook and blame me for the fact that they gouge people, unless of course you work for them. Wouldn’t you like to be able to go to Carowinds and buy a funnel cake at a reasonable price?

I merely am giving my review that I think it is too expensive. Forget the fact of what I “could” do. There is something philosophically wrong with charging $6+ for a funnel cake, I don’t care who they are. Not too mention that part of the THEME PARK experience is eating things like funnel cakes. How am I supposed to pack that in my cooler? Do you have a funnel cake machine in your car? Yes, I know, I don’t have to eat funnel cakes, you are 100% right. A ripoff is still a ripoff, and in my opinion, Carowinds is a ripoff.

Charge me a reasonable price, and I will be more than happy to pay for it, but don’t gouge me just b/c you can.

By the way, I know how to add up my money. I can even subtract, multiply and divide thank you very much.
