often have a person who gets on the side of a consumer with a problem. Funny how putting the company on the news gets them to resolve issues quickly.
If you try to handle it yourself by taking stuff, the law won't be on your side no matter what.

One year 2 of our local radio stations, a
hard rock and the country music stations, switched studios and were broadcasting on each other's frequencies.
Checking on the biggest news stations
none are carrying that story so I would think they would have a person right at the spot, like they always do.
It was on the local news this morning.
There is this contractor in Cleveland, OH (I think) that was doing some remodeling work on this woman's house. He tore down a bathroom wall and the wall was stuffed with $182,000.00 of old money. The money is worth a lot more now.
Ok, here's the kicker. The contractor said he could have kept the money and not say anything to the homeowner, but he would have felt guilty. So, instead, he's suing her for the money siting a "finder's keeper's" law. The woman offered him 10% of either the money or the value of the money and he turned it down.
Me thinks he's kinda greedy. I say that this money was in the wall of a house that someone else owned and that it belongs to the homeowner.
Oh and he also hammered out some more walls, without the homeowner's permission, looking for more money.
JERK!!
Local news story about nurse in ER SM
who was supposed to give patient 800 mg of Dilantin for a seizure and gave her 8000 mg instead, causing cardiac arrest.
The drug came in vials and she had to round up every vial on the floor to give this dose, never questioning it.
Mistakes happen, but this is just too bizarre.
Local news show is betting on it being...
Lakesha since Sanjaya will get most of the vote, and she wasn't her best last night. I would take either one to go!
At some stations in San Francisco, it's -

I believe BP is a chain of gas stations, like AM/PM, 7-11 etc..
I could be wrong..I'd give the gift anyway. Nascar people love to collect older stuff too...
We are having difficulty locating gas stations that actually have gas here - sm
This has been the case since last Friday. We paid $4.69 a gallon for regular gas on Saturday after passing a half dozen stations with none at all. How is everyone else faring with the lack of supply since the hurricane? 
In my area it's all the 7-11 stores, motels, & some gas stations.
They also are buying up a lot of the apartment buildings around here, too.
:(
ioops - meant channels, not stations LOL
I did read some stations not carrying the program
so perhaps offensive in some things? I did not watch. I think Sharon probably looks the best of all the family.
She's over 100 miles from stations, she prob does need rooftop antenna sm
With digital TV, it's an all or nothing thing. If the signal is not good enough, you will not get anything, but if you have even a little bit of signal, you will get a clear picture. Where I live is probably 50 miles from the stations, and even though I got 80% of the channels before the switch, I now only get one with the converter box and the same rabbit ears I was using before the switch. I went to antennaweb.org and put in my address, and it showed that I need an outside antenna to bring in the signals consistently.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

We eat out mostly at the local pub.
We're lucky to have a real neighborhood Irish pub, and we like to meet up with friends there, listen to music, have a beer and a sandwich. It probably costs us about $30 for two of us. Since we're nearly empty-nesters, it's just DH and I who go out. Big, fancy dinners are usually just for birthdays or anniversaries.
When we're just too tired to cook, then it's "fend for yourself night" . My sons know how to cook. DH not so much. But he can make a sandwich, and there's usually something leftover that he can make. My youngest son is a good cook, and if I ask him he'll usually make dinner for all of us when I'm just too tired to bother.
Also, a Crockpot is a marvelous thing! I love it. A little planning and effort, and dinner is in the pot cooking all day and ready for dinner time.
Do you have a local library?
Cheaper to check them out and return after writing great recipes. Just a thought.... 
The local car lot commercials
One in particular where the guy is huge and obnoxious and shouts his way through the whole commercial about his cars. Why do they have to shout??? 
local webcams
These are all so very neat! Thanks. How do I find my own town webcam? Thanks.

You're right - this sure is addicting! Ha! How fun! Here are a couple I have found that are fairly close to me.

I sent my sister a note in a bottle - hope she finds it.
I went to a local store
called Fred's Beds and caught our Simmons on sale. I think the set was only $900. I was thrilled.
Contact your local ACO....
Call your local animal control officer, or if you don't know the contact info for them, the police should. It's their job to calmly address the situation. It's not fair to you to listen to this poor animal all day long. I would also mention that you fear for not only the animals safety, but also your own. I'm sure it is on record anyway from the prior incident but wouldn't hurt to bring it up again. I would definitely not approach the people one-on-one, especially given their past behavior.
I'm sorry you're going through this. 
how about a donation to your local
animal shelter or the HSUS in her name.
the last few times I was in our local
all the people working the windows were pushing the 'forever' stamps, telling everyone about the rate increase coming and you should buy some now before it goes up again. One postal worker even told one of the customers if she lost the stamps for 5 years and then found them she'd be able to use em.
Personally, we snail mail so few things in our house these days that when I bought 3 books I figured they will probably last us about 5 years.
Local veterinarians...sm
Ask your local vet offices if they have a bulletin board for flyers. And maybe pet grooming places?
we had a local company that came out to
maybe you just had a bad customer service rep?
I'm 4' 11" and our local Captain D's has taken to
dispenser nailed to the wall above the drink counter. I can't ever reach it. It's a minor inconvienece for me but what about people in a wheelchair?? I refuse to patronize that particular restaraunt and have written a complaint to the company but of course nobody cares.
Local library? (sm)
I actually used to be a book junkie, but since the economic times have gotten so...interesting, and they charge an arm and a leg just for a paperback these days, I have started checking stuff out from the library. I almost won't buy a book these days. Just is not worth it to pay those prices.
Anyhow, off my soapbox. If you have a library nearby they should have most of the books. Charlaine Harris is the author, and she has several other series, as well.

ask your local pharmacist. where I am it was
over the counter RID. but there is probably something new by now - that was 15 yrs ago.
You can get your local weather

You need to find out from your local
law enforcement if there is a leash law there where you live. If there is a leash law you could get the owner of that dog in trouble.
Is he local to your area?
I've never been in this situation, but if he's newly widowed, perhaps a casserole and a card would be more practical for him than a plant or flowers?
If he's not in your immediate area, maybe you could send him some type of food/snack basket.
I don't know why I keep thinking in the direction of food. I guess I assume being newly widowed and apparently elderly, he might not be in a suitable frame of mind to take care of his nutritional needs. There are so many heartbreaking stories of an elderly spouse passing, and the one left behind simply stops taking care of their own needs and pass shortly thereafter.
I'm not good at dealing with situations involving death, so maybe my suggestions totally suck and someone will have some better advice.
I hope your niece is holding up okay.
Look in your local telephone book..

Well, because the company that has me on file is local, all I can do is sm
forward you to this legitimate website http://www.volition.com/mysteryUSA1.html
You will have to do a lot of legwork and contact the BBB, but it's worth it. Some are national, some are local. I am in south GA. So unless you are local, I can only forward you to this website. Good luck!
Well I complained to newspapers, local TV
station, Fox Network and told them they had lost one viewer even for events such as the Super Bowl if they had no more morals than that. I wrote the publishing company so if a lot of people did that, perhaps it had some bearing, but I suspect there is more to it than just public outcry against the network and publisher.
Is there a local park with tables to have it at?

Had a lap chole at the local hospital..
several years ago. At the time, I was a checker at a grocery store. My second day back to work a guy came through my line and said to me, "The last time I saw you, you were half naked, in a blue shower cap and drooling." He was my recovery room nurse...
It all depends on who the local subcontractors are. Get

A local restaurant had on its sign outside
AYCE DailEy specials...it was there for a while, but someone finally got smart and changed it. This is a pet peeve of mine, too. It drives my husband crazy at times when I start pointing out all the mistakes I see. I saw one on some papers from school, but I can't remember what it was...but from SCHOOL...hello???
You might ask local dieticians if there is a client need for

I got one to the local kitchen shop.
My mom knew I needed new pots and pans, but as I am so picky, she just got me a gift card so I could go pick my own. 
THANK YOU PAT!!! This is amazing! I am now searching for my local sm
charity, Teen Challenge of Georgia. Wow! I'm so glad they are on there! They only had 29 cents in their acct. so far for 2008 and after I searched a few names I jumped them up to 31 cents in about 2 seconds!! I am SO excited because I search ALL day long MTing. I am thrilled that they will earn a little something through my efforts! Thanks!!
If you have a local craft store
like Hancock Fabrics or Joann Fabrics, they might be able to teach you the basics. You could also check with local quilting clubs - you might find a new hobby and meet new people this way.
Our local television station always has a
Deal or Dud segment on items from tv ads. They featured the Pedi Paws last month and had some local dog groomers/vets try them out. It got a Deal - thumbs up. Everyone was very pleased with it. Going to get my dog one for Christmas!
I get mine from a local butcher.
The butcher uses meat raised locally, and the quality is very good. I've found that the specialty butcher has prices that are lower than places like Heavenly Ham. Check in your Yellow Pages under "butcher" and make some calls. You might find a great product at a good price, and you can support your local economy.
Odd question about local channels...
Okay so here's my scenario:
I live out of town. I have to have directv because we are too far for cable. Supposedly we cannot get our local channels through Directv, but antennas are going obsolete in February. So, how do we get our local channels?
I mainly want to be able to know about the weather, especially when its bad since two years ago we had tornadoes that wrecked the area and The Weather Channel said we had scattered thunder storms!
I have Direct TV and get local channels...
call them and find out if they are available in your area. I also get the network feeds from New York and LA, which is especially great to be able to watch things 3 hours earlier (I'm on the west coast) and I can still be in bed by 9!

We were introduced in a small local
hole-in-the wall bar we both hung out at by one of my friend's husband who was a mutual friend. Been together for 9 years.

That would be the Bellagio and my local Walmart
which I cannot say if the hooks are missing there because do not remember using a restroom but all the other places around town where I might have used do not remember people ripping them out.
Is there a local candy making store?
 They may have them, but not sure. I'm in Delaware, but we have a store that carries all kinds of little things to make your own candy. I do remember seeing cinnamon chips, and I wonder where they went? I wonder if you also tried Hershey's website for them or other websites. I wonder if you Google cinnamon chips???? just a thought....
Have you looked for local rescue groups?
Sometimes local rescue groups will help you to get your pet placed in a good home. I would do this before sending her to the pound or placing an ad.
