Heritage Not Hate Remix
If any brave souls want to wear this around the South (to prove a point of course), be my guest. I am not responsible for your safety! LOL
USPS major fail
So this happened right before Xmas. Gift sent for the little one from a family member. One side of box ripped off. Contents missing. Hmm, was this done by a stranger after delivery? Apparently not because there’s a note attached to the box apologizing for the damage. Why even go through the trouble of delivering …
Maytag POS “2000 Series” Washer (Model MHWE201YW)
Bought this washer about 5 years ago. A few years in, its water pump failed. Had to replace that myself. There’s always water sitting in the detergent cups after a load (probably a manufacturer defect). It has a bad door seal and leaks water, but that comes and goes. The worst problem is that the …

Arbella Sucks
In mid-February after one of our many blizzards, my wife was driving her sedan home. There was a pile of snow on our street that had hardened over. I guess she miscalculated its height (and hardness) and when she went over it, the car lurched up and she heard a loud grinding sound against the …
Mass RMV Scam
A few months ago, I received a notice to renew my registration. I immediately mailed it to my insurance company to be stamped and they promised to send it over to the RMV. Time passed and my registration expired in September. Recently, I was parked in Boston and got a ticket for an expired registration. …
