Topic Just watched a young woman pull a toddler out of oncoming traffic only to get shouted at by the mother for touching her kid, what kind of shit has just flabbergasted you Reddit?Posted by clematis
(copied from a Reddit post): [This just happened about 20 minutes ago in downtown Boston. I was at the corner of a major intersection waiting to cross when an adorable kid in his Sox garb pulled away from his texting mother and try to cross on his own. By the time I realized what was really happening the kid was about 10 feet in front of an armored data tape truck which based on how high the cab is I don't think the driver could have even seen the kid if he was looking. A girl who looked like she was about 25 stepped into the street and lifted the kid up by the arm and pulled him back onto the curb as the truck skidded to a stop. I was shocked and impressed, I had watched the whole thing happened and in no way could have responded so quickly. Well instead of thanking the woman that just stopped her child from dying in front of her the mother went absolutely bonkers. She started screaming "How dare you touch my child" along with a string of obscenities. The young woman kept her cool for about 30 seconds of screaming before telling the mom that next time she'd just let the kid get hit before storming off.]
Obviously the moo wanted her brat to be hit by the truck. Otherwise she would have been teary-eyed, thanking and hugging that woman, grateful that she saved her brat's life. Mooo was hoping that her "Little Mystayke" would be flattened and killed, and this woman stopped her from getting her wish.
All together now: 'Attempted Post-Natal Abortion!!!!!' *********************************************** 'Though I am satisfied at first by my actions, I'm suddenly jolted with a mournful despair at how useless, how extraordinarily painless, it is to take a child's life. The thing before me....has no real history, no worthwhile past, nothing is really lost.' AMERICAN PSYCHO - Patrick Bateman critiques killing a child
This reminds me of one of the most absurd stories ever relayed by a Moo on one of the Gentle Discipline Moo forums, I think it was KellyMoo or maybe Mothering.commode. You all know how they race to the computer to detail every minute of their lives when they aren't texting it from their phones. Anyway, this Moo was seeking advice on how she should have reacted when a passerby very UN gently snatched her toddler out of the way of a moving vehicle in a Pizza Hut parking lot. She was pissed because the man literally grabbed the kid by the arm and thwarted his getting hit by a car because the he-brat had broken free from her "gentle" grip and ran out into the open parking lot. I couldn't even believe it, but there she was lowing about it. They all agreed the man should have "gently" picked him up and set him down out of harm's way and then she could have "gently" picked him up, nursed him to calm him down, and afterwards "gently" explained to him why he couldn't run into ongoing traffic. They nearly ALWAYS recommend nursing a toddler before you "gently" scold it about anything. ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much? I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!
Sorry to play devil's advocate, but unless the screamer somehow didn't SEE what almost happened, that sounds to me like someone who is seriously mentally ill. Believe me, I know a few things about genuine mental illness.
Exactly. If the he-brat associates running out into traffic with being held, udder feeding, and catered to he will likely try it again as soon as he can. Of course, this could be what they are hoping for anyway and the posting about their worries on a time stamped website might be an attempt at an alibi. "I ONLY looked away for a minute while he was racing into the intersection to seek advice from my fellow tit feeders as to the best course of action". That they do, "What's best for my chyyld" is complete and total bullshit. With few exceptions, they do what is best for them and what will get them the most attention. After all, if the kid gets run over by a street cleaner or abducted by a perv while they, "only looked away for a minute", they can be assured of the following: 1)Immediate outpour of public sympathy that will span a lifetime 2)Thousands of letters, emails, and internet posts that start out with things like, "As a Moo, I can imagine how you feel.....my heart goes out to you..........every parents' worst nightmare....I think of my little she-brat and can imagine your pain.........."etc......... 3)Candle light vigils,Teddy bears, and balloons will litter their community 4)Money cans for donations and memorial funds will be set up all over town 5)They'll get enough casseroles and pot roasts they won't have to cook for a year ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- If YOU are the "exception" to what I am saying, then why does my commentary bother you so much? I don't hate your kids, I HATE YOU!
My god, being that stupid should be painful. Seriously? He wasn't 'gentle' enough? If he had taken the time to make sure he was being gentle, that kid would have been hit. I'm surprised he didn't get busted for unlawful restraint or some stupid thing.
The man didn't "gently" grab the toadler? If he tried to "gently" grab the brat, the brat would've likely squirmed out of the man's grip and gotten killed. Instead of thanking the "village" for helping, all they do is moan and fucking whine that "the village" didn't do it the way they like. Too Fucking Bad. Also: Any excuse to shove their big, sweaty tits into their toadler's mouths, huh?
gently my ass! if the guy ever gently picked him up, gently nursed him to calm down, gently blah blah blah, the moo would scream pedophilia.
You know, everybody wanted to jump on China's ass when that toddler was run over twice by a van and was left to die by people who walked past her and didn't bother to help. Then it was revealed that if anybody helped, they could have been held legally responsible for the kid's injuries, so everybody was too afraid to help. A tragedy to be sure and watching the video was horrifying, but this is the end result when breeders think that everybody else is responsible when it's convenient to them. Case in point: that woman in PA a few years back who was charged with a toddler's death (a child that was not hers) because she didn't jump into a swollen river to save the little idiot because it was dangerous and she couldn't swim even in the best of circumstances. The father got off, but she got convicted because she pulled the kid back from the river the first time around. Jesus fuck, I was an EMT back in the day and one of the things we were taught is to NOT go in because there's no point in water rescue bringing back TWO dead bodies. Breeders don't seem to understand that when somebody saves your child from certain injury and/or death, the proper fucking response is, "THANK YOU." They keep this shit up, one day a kid is going to run out into a busy intersection and get struck and killed because everybody finds it better to pretend they didn't see anything than help. And then the breeders will want to go on the news and there will be endless sensationalist topics like, "Have Americans become heartless?" and nobody will have the balls to say that nobody wants to fucking help these people anymore because they're no longer expected to show a little fucking gratitude. I mean, I found somebody's cell phone in the street and managed to return it to him and he gives me $20. And it was just a cell phone. A breeder can't say a simple "Thank you," when a complete stranger saves their kid's life?
When I was 19 I watched while a Burger King employee, not much younger than I was, walk a toddler back into the dining room. He was out in the parking lot by himself. Teenage girl finds moo, who seriously flips out on her. "You bitch, what are you doing with my baby? I want police! Kidnapper! Help!" This goes on until police are called. The girl who tried to help isn't in trouble but moo dealt with one cop who decided to make her life hell. Lucky for the girl everything was on survelliance camera. Come to find the kid was away from it's moo for more than twenty minutes while she was yapping with a friend. If this is the kind of reaction people get for being kind it's not worth it. I learned a long time ago to look away and just keep walking where kids are concerned. It's not worth going to jail for.
very true. i think the woman who was charged was a target of judicial activism-that is, they feel that they have to make an example of SOMEBODY, even if the situation was not the person's fault. i would have appealed that.
Details, please! What did the cop do (besides show the video to everyone, I assume)?
But, now that I think about it, you don't have to be seriously ill to be a shameless narcissist who will never accept blame for anything.
To repeat (her name was Newkirk, BTW): Does ANYONE understand why they could jail her for this but (maybe) couldn't jail her for not simply keeping a sharper eye on the kid beforehand? After all, a nearby non-swimming STRANGER who hadn't seen the kid until AFTER the kid fell in wouldn't be blamed for not jumping in, so what's the difference?
Um, if you're going to say "the last time I snatched a child out of harm's way, I got unjustly INDICTED for attempted kidnapping and molestation" that's one thing. But implying that you'd rather see a kid killed than have yourself merely get YELLED at is something the public is not going to forgive you for.
Zatoth said of the woman in Pennsylvania convicted for not pulling the child out of the river: "i think the woman who was charged was a target of judicial activism-that is, they feel that they have to make an example of SOMEBODY, even if the situation was not the person's fault. i would have appealed that." The woman did and lost. I raised the question of what did happen with the appeal several months back on another thread here, and this was the response: http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,159716,160273#msg-160273 K-Man asked: "We have discussed this a few times here. "Link (take spaces out of 'w w w': http://w w w.post-gazette.com/pg/05278/582741.stm "This was reaction to the verdict against Susan Newkirk, the Pennsylvania woman convicted and sentenced to 9–18 months in jail in 2005 after her boyfriend's toddler drowned in a flooded river in 2004. The prosecution claimed that she had a 'duty' to try to save the boy, even though she couldn't swim and did tell the father immediately. Many who responded to this news believed that the sentence would be overturned on appeal. But what did happen?" Nemo posted in response: "Per the docket and briefs appended to a table decision on Westlaw, her conviction for child endangerment was affirmed on September 5, 2006, after her defense team tried to argue that the trial court erred in allowing Daddy Dearest not to testify."
How would you know nowadays, what will happen to you, if you DO stick your neck out and rescue a toadler...and the parent wants it to really be killed? Would she, out of spite, try and have me charged with attempted kidnapping if I grabbed the kyd away from a moving vehicle? Would she accuse me of something I didn't do, just so she didn't look like a bad parent? I saw an incident on TV where a young man was tossed in jail and accused of child abduction because he was trying to help a little girl find her moo...which had vanished. He found a group of moos outside of the store and asked if she belonged to any of them. Next thing this poor kyd knew, he was being arrested and tossed in jail. Call me fucking heartless....but since breeders have made it so difficult and injurious to myself to save their brats from certain doom, I"ll probably look the other way too.

Who are these guys at QB in Super Bowl?
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — No Tom Brady. No Aaron Rodgers. No Ben Roethlisberger. Not a Manning in sight.
Super Bowl has a pair of fresh faces at quarterback, bona fide nobodies as far as the NFL title game goes. But one will leave New Orleans as football's newest star.
For Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, this is new territory. And, of course, exactly where they want to be.

To the south and southwest of downtown, this family-friendly region claims some of the city's greenest pastures. Hayhurst's 52-acre Alpenrose dairy complex boasts a stadium and a velodrome. Inside the Western-replica town of Dairyville, visitors find a doll museum and opera house, among other venues.

"Not what it appeared to be"
When we looked at reserving this hotel we knew what we wanted. A hotel with a pool and a waffle maker for breakfast. When we got there and checked in we were not thrilled to see that the pool was closed for maintenance. The next morning at breakfast there was also no waffle maker.

"Did not have a good experience"
The first room we checked into was stripped and hadn't even been cleaned yet. Called the manager up to see the room. Then waited while he ran downstairs to get keys for a different room. Keys didnt work. Waited again while he ran downstairs to get keys for a 3rd room. Got into the 3rd room ok but had moldy smell, poor shower pressure, and constant noise […] from party animals outside the hotel. The pillows were very small. We went downstairs to find out that the pool and hot tub were under renovation even though this was not disclosed on the website. The website also offered FULL breakfast but when I went downstairs in the morning there was only a few pieces of toast and bagels. That does not constitute full breakfast. We had just driven over 1500 miles in 3 days and had a 9.5 hour drive that day to walk in to these unexpected surprises. I was very disappointed in the quality of Guesthouse Inn.

"Out of Order"
We booked this hotel specifically because it had an indoor pool. When we arrived, the pool, hot tub, ice machine, and vending machines were out of order. Also, breakfast was sub-par. Bread and bagels, deep fried sausages, and sugary cereal were all that was offered. For these reasons, I gave a lower overall rating.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"You get what you pay for, but at least it is clean"
The hotel was booked for a very reasonable price, and considering the price, the stay was better than expected. That being said, there were a few disappointment's. The pool and hot tub were out of order. One of the bathrooms on the main floor was out of order, and the one that wasn't out of order was out of paper towels, and soap. The ice machines are […] on the 3rd floor and the main floor, the one on the main floor was out of order, and the one on the 3rd floor was also out of order. The front desk informed me that " you just need to hit it (3rd floor machine) to get ice". The bed was very comfy, although the miniature bed pillows are less than adequate. The cable on the TV had no guide channel, and the channels that were available were intermittently not clear. Finally, the breakfast the next morning was a disappointment. It was possibly the cheapest continental breakfast I've ever experienced. In conclusion, the stay was still acceptable for the price. For a quick and cheap selection, if travelling without our children, I would consider this hotel again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Horrible Hotel"
This hotel is horrible. We called asking about the pool specifically and the man who answered said that they did have a pool. It wasn't until we got there that the same man who answered our call told us that the pool was closed for remodeling. The sign on the desk said feel free to enjoy the sauna. So we went up to our room and got settled. My friend […] went to get some ice but the ice machine on our floor was broken. I then went to the other 3 floors and still found no ice machine. I went to ask the guy at the front which floor the ice machine was on and instead of telling me that they were both broken he just said it was on the third floor. After I got back to our room we got on our suits to go on to the sauna and when we got down there and tried to go in the door was locked so we asked the front and he said no everything is closed for remodeling. we said the sign said enjoy the sauna and he that the sign was old. Honestly this hotel is old and creepy and lied to us to get us to book a room. Not worth booking at. Stay somewhere else. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Down hill"
I have stayed at this hotel some 6-8 times and until recent I was happy with the hotel. The past 3 times the hot tub has been out of order, which to me is a killer. I travel a lot and have back issues, so I do utilize it and seek hotels with them. The first and second time it was out of order I figured it would be fixed by my next stay, but..last week […] I was there again and still the same. I asked the front desk guy and he said "yeah..I don't think they're even planning on fixing it". On this stay the sauna too had a note stuck on the door, that it was out of order. I decided to test it anyway only to find that it was working perfectly. In addition my room was not clean, there was left over travel paper work and snacks from the previous guest and the bathtub faucet had some homemade patch repair done that looked hideous. The front desk staff have always been very helpful and friendly, but its clear to me that the owners have decided to lower their standards. I should mention too, that the hotel does advertise havng a pool, hot tub and sauna, just be aware that 2 out of 3 for the past 3+ months have been just to look at and not to use. Finally, I called Hotels.com to see if I could shorten my reservation. They were very accommodating and helped me out beyond my expectations. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"excellent desk clerks create return customers"
room 309 had water damage in the bathroom on the ceiling from an upstairs room, i asume room 409. the maintenance did not repair the job as would be proper (i have worked as a maintenance sup over 25 condominium complexes for the last 15yrs) to have sealed the damage with killz primer or another waterproof sealant and then properly primer and paint […] over the damage to close the job. this job was merely covered with top coat paint. upon my wifes and my arrival in room 309 we discovered as she was taking a bath and large paint chips were falling onto her and in her drawn bath.for her that event nearly ruined the "mood" thankfully the young lady on the night shift at the desk clerk position was kind curtious professional and did everything within her control to make our stay comfortable. she moved us to another room. and when we were looking for an authentic Mexican establishment to have dinner at she made a recommendation that turned out to be excellent. unfortunately the hut tub and ice maker on the 1st floor were out of order, these things happen though and were so minor compared the the desk clerks manners that over compensated for the rest. in my personal opinion Guest house is fortunate to have this desk clerk on their staff. unlike the day clerk who is coarse and was not compassionate. expedia booked the 2person king bed room for under 50 prior to tax and fees, 2 thumbs up. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Formula Drift's Bil Baldwin and the Beard of Courage: Video
The world of motorsports is home to many colorful characters of all ages. Often, they play crucial roles while going largely unnoticed. Bil Baldwin might have been one of those semianonymous people, but not any more.
The crew at Keepdriftingfun.com interviewed the bearded flag marshal while at the 2012 Formula Drift season opener in Long Beach, Calif. He stands within inches of drift cars as they compete and rarely moves—only for the guys with big wings, he says.
"This event is the most fun I'll have at a racetrack all year," Baldwin says in the video. "I'll be in that spot as long as I'm breathing."
For more motorsports video action check out Will Roegge's Vimeo page, and visit autoweekracing.com for a recap of the Long Beach drift event.

We're excited to bring you a new post from mother and actress Tori Spelling and her ediTORIal by Tori Spelling blog. This week, Tori debunks five new mommy myths.
As a momista-of-four, there were still things that surprised me about each pregnancy and each new babe. There's just so much to learn as a new mom. Even if you were one of those moms who read What to Expect When You're Expecting cover to cover three times, chances are that you still fed into a few misconceptions and old wives' tales. So today I'm debunking a few of the biggest myths that new mamas encounter. Check them out and let me know which ones you used to believe . . .
Related: Tori's mother of the year award
Myth No. 1: You can predict the sex of the baby (without your doctor).
Each time that I was preggers, I had people tell me that if I was carrying low the baby was going to be a boy and that if I was carrying high it was a girl. Well, according to WhatToExpect.com, the height of your bump has nothing to do with the baby's gender. Dying to find out the baby's sex? It's called an ultrasound! Otherwise, just sit tight and enjoy the guessing game. There are so few surprises in life.
Myth No. 2: You can determine the sex of the baby with sexual positions.
Lots of new mamas believe that not only can they predict their baby's sex, but that they can take certain steps during conception to determine it. Well, I hate to break it to you, ladies, but according to Parents.com, the missionary position is not going to guarantee a girl and doggy style is not going to make your little one a boy. But I can promise you one thing — boy or girl, this little one is still going to be the light of your life.
Keep reading for three more myths and why they're nothing more than myths.

This is usually about the point, well actually this is usually well beyond the point, at which I say Punkworks and cockerpunk in particular overstated the data. But I have learned that this is a lost cause. This is also why I would probably never send something to them to test that would not 100% guaranteed return unmissable results vs existing equipment.
I have noticed over time that there's nothing punkworks likes more than to be paradigm-breaking, and to create new paradigms which they are then loath to see broken. So if you are talking about shades of grey, especially really really fine shades of grey like barrels have, you risk running afoul of their disdain for the pedestrian or worse yet, their defensiveness of the paradigms they have created. In these situations, IMO there is no benefit to punkworks testing other than as an attempt to get free advertising. And in that case, you live and die by the sword.
FWIW I shoot tournament quality paint every weekend if I can help it (ultra evil). It would be interesting to me if a barrel shot those balls better than others. Trouble is even tournament quality paint isn't always all that round.

NSTA provides the best opportunities for increasing your power as a science educator.
Visit us on Facebook
An online gathering place for NSTA members. Ask questions, talk about issues, make new connections.
There will be a session on how to review program submissions for the new 2012 NSTA Preservice Standards. At the same time, others can learn how to properly prepare their programs and assessments for submission using the new 2012 NSTA Preservice Standards. I will also be available at the conference Thursday and Friday for private consultation. Please e-mail me (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions or to arrange for an individual session.
A webinar was completed on March 11, 2012. Please click on the following link, Webinar, and view the training for a submission of a NCATE – NSTA SPA folio. This is great review for reviewers, auditors, and NCATE coordinators at institutions.
• Webinar
NSTA has recently voted to replace and update the 2003 Standards for Science Teacher Preparation. These Standards were submitted to NCATE Specialty Areas Study Board (SASB) in October 2011 for NCATE approval. The new standards align well with the conceptual framework of NCATE and the SASB principles, and they will allow programs to continue with their current data collection with minor changes. NSTA will accept reports and data based upon the new standards in the fall of 2012. The last time to accept reports under the 2003 Preservice Standards will be spring 2014. All reports submitted in the fall of 2014 will have to be completed with two administrations of instruments using the 2012 NSTA Preservice Standards.
A transitional document describing what is needed for the submission of a Program Folio to NCATE, soon to be the Council for the Accreditation of Educator preparation (CAEP), can be found on this link, 2012 Submission. This link will contain directions for completing the folio and contain the documents that NCATE/CAEP will need from each institution. The NCATE/CAEP documents and directions can also be found on the NCATE website.
All institutions need to prepare and submit their reports based upon the 2003 Standards. Use this link to download a PDF of a PowerPoint presentation explaining how to prepare your 2003 NCATE NSTA Report. The links below will help you prepare your 2003 Report.
Use this link to find resources for the 2003 Standards Report. This page contains the Content Analysis Form needed for Assessment 2, sample assessments for Assessments 3–5, and ideas for completing Assessment 6.
The NCATE website also has a Resource Library that contains more examples of successfully written reports. Go to NCATE and click on the SPA Assessment Library tab on the left. Scroll down to NSTA and hit the display button. This will show you examples from other institutions.
Congratulations to programs that have met the rigorous review of their preservice science teacher preparation programs. View programs recognized by NSTA (PDF) since fall 2005 (previously recognized programs are not included).

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall welcomed a successful start to Aviva Premiership life at Allianz Park after the 31-11 win over Exeter.
England prop Mako Vunipola scored two tries on Saturday to finish as man of the match, while Charlie Hodgson and Matt Stevens also touched down in only the club's second try-scoring bonus-point win in 15 matches this season.
It was a vote of confidence for the artificial pitch designed specifically for rugby union and McCall was delighted with the occasion at Saracens' new £24million ground in Barnet.
"It's great to start like that, scoring four tries," McCall said.
"It was a great atmosphere. We've all been to Vicarage Road over the last couple of years and it wasn't like that.
"There was a real atmosphere during the warm up and the crowd really got behind the team.
"It was a quick game and our players enjoyed it. They were saying in the changing room afterwards that they really enjoyed the experience.
"The pitch feels good and I don't think there was anything to be negative about. We didn't have reset scrums.
"It seemed to a faster game with more ball in hand than previously, so there's a lot to be positive about."
Between them fly-halves Charlie Hodgson and Gareth Steenson missed six shots at goal and 18 points in the first half and McCall admitted the poor success rate might be an idiosyncrasy of the surface.
"The kicking maybe takes some getting used to because the tee doesn't go down as far on that surface as it does on grass," he said.
The rampaging Vunipola, who played 70 minutes after appearing on the bench during England's Six Nations victories over Scotland and Ireland, carried the fight to Exeter throughout.
"Mako was magnificent. He wasn't just good in the loose, where he's as good as anyone, but he was good in the tight as well," McCall said.
"He's going to be a very, very, very, very special player. He's already a special player."
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter had no immediate complaints with the surface, but was more scathing of his team's performance.
"We got taught a few lessons in a few areas today, which isn't normally an issue for us," Baxter said.
"Saracens' physicality at the breakdown, line speed and nous at controlling territory was better.
"When you play against Saracens those things exacerbate very quickly. You don't tend to get away with anything other than a very high level performance against them.
"At half-time we shouldn't have been as close as we were and in some areas our performance wasn't good enough today.
"It was our first time in contact on a new surface, but I don't really want to look for excuses.
"The pitch was all right. I'll speak to the players and see how they felt about it and we'll look at their bumps and bruises.
"I said to the players you win and lose games in the Premier League. Sometimes a match gets away from you and today it did."

do you have problems ordering ikea online?
i originally ordered the vika amon/vika artur desk on september 8 and have yet to see it. it seems the trestles are always out of stock, even when i call first to see if they have any then immediately place the order. i still get the "out of stock" email. i even had one phone rep give me a delivery date, which came and went. i know someone else would have given up a while ago, but there is no other desk that i want. in addition, the nearest ikea never has this part in stock either.
so i would like to know if anyone has had this problem or if anyone has recently received this table through phone or online ordering. also any suggestions that someone can give me would be greatly appreciated. thanks." - lisa m. williams
sorry to hear of your frustration. anybody has advice for lisa?

I have this desk and adore it... so i see why you are fighting for it. I got mine at the Detroit store in October... there were plenty there.
Have you by chance tried calling the stores directly to see if they could help you rather than go through the online/phone system. Stores would know if they have it in stock right that minute or not and I know most stores will arrange delivery for you if you can't fit them in your car (but they would maybe ship it for any reason!)
It's so frustrating that a store as cool as IKEA is, it still remains difficult! Good luck! Otherwise plan a major road trip if you don't live near one!I recently visited the Pittsburgh Ikea, where I bought a Lycksele sofa-bed (with Murbo mattress). The store was out of the GENARP covers, and I placed an order over the phone right on the spot (with the item number in the self-service area.
Later that week, back in Cleveland, I called to check on my order and was told that there was no record of my order and that GENARP had been discontinued for the Lycksele model.I am so mad at Ikea right now! I have spent the past week working on my new office design which included a ton of the Stolman collection. I went there yesterday to purchase it and the only items they had were the dang-on pole! And they had no answers for me as to when they will be bringing more in. What gives? I just cannot count on them....
ReplyDeleteI wanted to surprise my girlfriend with the LINDHULT nesting tables (Montreal, QC IKEA). Ordered them and then waited.
And waited ...
AND waited.
My girlfriend called to find out what the deal was. We were thrilled to discover that they had the record of the order but no idea why nothing was shipped. Essentially, the order was just sitting there.
So we canceled the order in hopes of just going and picking it up ourselves.I hope this is helpful to all the IKEA-lovers who don't live near one. I live in Oklahoma. Closest IKEA is Dallas, then Houston, then Minneapolis. Needless to say, I rely heavily on IKEAweb/catalog ordering.
After 4 phone calls and LOTS of frustration I learned this. San Diego and Seattle will ship you anything you want. It's usually so much easier than the website, which offers very little merchandise, or the catalog "we have that in orange but not in red" number.
It's usually easiest to email the store (the address is on the phone message), tell them what you want and your phone number, and they'll call you back within about 24 hours.

I'm also a frustrated IKEA shopper. I go online to order, but nothing I want is EVER available online. It can only be purchased in-store.
I love how inexpensive their products are, but sometimes it doesn't make sense to drive three hours and spend $75 on gas to pick up $200 worth of merchandise.
I've heard many friends complain about the same problem. So, instead of continuing to be frustrated, I decided to do something about it!
I am now offering delivery service from IKEA Frisco, TX to Oklahoma City. I charge 25% of your total order. Period. I usually go twice a week, but it depends on the number of orders I have.
If you would like me to shop at IKEA for you, or if you purchased items but had to leave them there because you didn't have the right vehicle, CONTACT ME!
IKEA is perfect for great, inexpensive Christmas gifts so place your order now! I can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com I too love Ikea products but HATE, do you hear me - H.A.T.E, HATE trying to use their website or online services or online ordering ~ seems something is pretty regularly 'messed-up'. I only keep going back because I too, love the products and can find nothing elsewhere that I like better (within Ikea's budget friendly price range). Arrgghh.

Hell hole that no one should be put through located in Fairfax, Virginia. Feel free to burn it down...but hurry! One of the students might beat you to it!! 30 degrees outside and some idiot pulls the fire alarm...
1. | fairfax high school | ||
n. a school made of tin can walls and has its own ghetto.
a place where white people are a minority where the principle is a leprechaun nazi we have a record breaking number of asains where even the teachers are druggies and a woman with a mullet by the name of sue strikes fear into the hearts of white kids everywhere. sue to a black kid:do you have a pass?
black kid: fuck no sue: ok come have a smoke with me sue to a white kid: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT OF CLASS white kid: i have a pass sue: THATS NO EXCUSE... YOUR SUSPENDED BITCH --good times-- |
2. | Fairfax High School | ||
A "high-end" school in fairfac county, here are some interesting facts.
1. The Principle is dummer than the students. 2. Our assistant principle looks like Stalin. 3. We have fire drills while it rains. 4. Our football team went 1-11 this year, we just bought them a new field. 5. We have more drug addicts than a low-income black neiborhood. 6. Homeless people live behind our baseball field. 7. Our best sport is Cheerleading and we arent even good at that. 8. We have a 45-minute period of the day that somewhat resembles recess. I love fairfax high school
Woodson can suck my choad. |
3. | Fairfax High School | ||
Asia on the east coast...consolidated into a school much too small.
Run by a Nazi. Tons of drug trafficking. You can learn different languages walking through the halls, which by the way are made of aluminum foil. see Hell for more details --: Konichiwa!
++: Ya want weed wit dat? |
4. | fairfax high school | ||
An extremely awesome school in Fairfax VA. We got the best music program in the state, no one can beat us! Also, our school is full of asians! :D! i mean really full of asians. In fact, if you ever think about learning korean, all you gotta do is stroll down a hallway and you know it! Main rival school is Woodson high. Person 1: i go to woodson. it's no fun, and there aren't many asians :(
person 2: well then come on down to fairfax high school! person 1: ok! yay! |
5. | Fairfax High School | ||
The only High School where:
The Main Thing is to Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing. Only the students who go to FHS can ever understand that. Fairfax High School is home to the Rebels, who have extreme pride in their school. FHS is also where the Principal may actually be cooler than the whole school combined. Demographics: Pretty much an even mix of all races, and social classes. You either have money, or you don't. That's just how it goes. The FHS music dept. is the Best in the county, because they're just so amazing (and Blue Ribbon). Sportswise: SWIM TEAM AND CHEERLEADING! "One: We are the Rebels. Two: A little bit louder. Three: I still can't hear you. Four: more More MORE!"
Person One: Where do you go? Person Two: I go to Woodson. My life sucks. I wish I went to Fairfax Person One: Yes, because Fairfax High School is the BEST! |
6. | fairfax high school | ||
A high school in the 703 where "The Main Thing is to keep the Main Thing the Main Thing" has been replaced with "Stay classy, Fairfax" and "Good morning, young scholars". Beware of Singhman! He aims to kill. White people are a minority. We HATE Langley and Woodson. There's controversey over the lion in the commons. Good or bad luck? Pick your side! Our colors are royal blue and white/gray, we're the rebels, and our mascot's a lion. (He now has abs, woot woot) We constantly joke about being rebels. Well, ya knoww, we are badasssss. Fair WHAT? FAIRFAXXX Chantilly girl: Hey, cute jersey!
Fairfax High School girl: yeah, the colors work well together, right? I love the blue and white. Chantilly girl: Woah, you didn't do your homework? Fairfax High School girl: Yeah, I know, I'm such a rebel. Ahahaha! |

Two awesome local bands played here in Fort Worth, Texas, last Saturday at The Chat Room (Twitter).
"Shake Me" by Patriot
View/download as 1920×1080 .mp4
When I first met Jake Paleschic, the leader and songwriter of Patriot, he was reading Flannery O'Connor, whose tough short stories say life is serious. Patriot is just as real. Gritty, not unlike James McMurtry, Jake's music makes you care. He and his band play, everyone stops to listen. With his classical-guitar right hand, Austin on bass gives each note its own personality. Tyler's fills on lead guitar sing, thoughtful. Where so many drummers bang away mindlessly, Peter's playing feels personal. I always want to listen to these guys.
- Jake Paleschic — guitar, harmonica, vocals
- Tyler Brown — lead guitar
- Austin Kroll — bass
- Peter Wiernga — drums
Set list:
- Bullet
- Ballad of Joey Gorman
- Speak Momma
- Shake Me
- Long May I Sleep
- Day Moon
- Slow Love
- Brimstone Blues
"Seth Met a Girl" by Mailman
View/download as 1920×1080 .mp4
Mailman is really fun. Austin has free range for his talent, and Jon sings from his heart. I'm eager to get "Suburban Angst" recorded, one of their catchiest songs. Read more about Mailman on the excellent site FortLive.
Mailman (Facebook):
- Jon Phillips — guitar, vocals
- Austin Kroll — guitar, vocals
- Reece Presson — bass
- Robby Rux — drums
Set list:
- Nevermind (It's Not So Bad)
- Working
- Suburban Angst
- Seth Met a Girl
- Slug
- Black Dress
- Terrible People
- Hard Way
Ralph White also played solo that night, as did someone else — if you know this other person's name, leave it in the comments. And if you know the name of the original artist for the song "Hard Way," leave that in the comments.

Cavaliers: Tristan Thompson's productivity increasing
In Cavaliers coach Byron Scott's opinion, Tristan Thompson should concentrate on one thing when checking into games: "Attacking the glass."
For the most part, the rookie forward/center has done that, especially in the last eight games.
The 6-foot-9, 227-pounder is not a finished product. He has a lot of maturing to do on the court. But one has to remember we're dealing with a player who spent one year in college and won't turn 21 until March 13.
Heading into Monday's game against the Utah Jazz, he has 29 NBA games under his belt. He could be a sophomore at the University of Texas leading the Big 12 in blocked shots.
Instead, he's playing at the highest level of basketball and getting a baptism by fire.
In the last week, Thompson has more than held his own against All-Star-caliber big men including Boston's Kevin Garnett, New York's Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler and Chicago's Joakim Noah. That alone should give him more confidence as the season progresses.
Thompson is averaging 7.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 19.5 minutes per game. He's shooting 42.6 percent from the field, but not much better from the foul line (46.4 percent). That's an area in which he must improve.
"He's been more aggressive," Scott said. "His confidence level is getting better and better each game."
Thompson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has experienced a spike in his productivity in the last eight games — even though there were two scoreless outings in that span.
He's averaged 8.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.9 offensive rebounds and 1.1 blocks in that eight-game stretch. He's shooting 43.3 percent from the field (26 of 60) and 50 percent from the foul line (16 of 32). Continued...
"Whenever I come into the game, my role is pretty simple — just come in and give them a spark," Thompson said. "I try to do that every game and get us extra possessions on the offensive end, rebound and block shots. That's my role on the team, and that's what I'm here to do."
Thompson suffered a sprained left ankle at Atlanta on Jan. 21 and missed the next two games. He might have rushed back into the lineup, however.
After he returned on Jan. 27 vs. New Jersey, he appeared in three games before aggravating the injury. That caused him to miss five more games before returning against Philadelphia on Feb. 11.
Now he appears completely healthy.
"When he hurt his ankle, it was a big-time setback," Scott said. "It really was. When he's checking into games, he's thinking about the ankle more than thinking about the basketball part of it. Now, he's thinking about what he needs to do every single night."
It's paying off on the court.
Despite a few mishaps along the way (normal for a rookie), Thompson is settling into Scott's rotation as the backup center.
"Whenever you get an injury as a rookie, you miss games and need to get your rhythm back," Thompson said. "I feel good, and I just need to keep working on the ankle and just keep playing hard."
He's recorded three double-doubles in the last eight games.
Scott made a change to his starting lineup before a 101-98 loss to Washington on Saturday. Center Semih Erden was yanked from the starting lineup in favor of Ryan Hollins, who responded with 15 points and seven rebounds in 31 minutes, all season highs. Continued...
Quick shots
-- Guard Ramon Sessions has the team lead in assists over Kyrie Irving, 5.3-5.2. Scott reasoned that Irving's assist numbers are a product of missed shots.
"It's more guys not making shots," he said. "We're shooting (42.8) percent as a team. He's been able to find guys. He sees the floor very well."
-- Thompson's struggles at the foul line have been well-documented. But veteran shooting guard Anthony Parker is worse at 44.4 percent from the line. Parker is shooting 79.9 percent from the line in his nine-year career.
-- For unknown reasons, Parker has attempted last-second 3-pointers that would have tied the game in two of the last four outings (Boston and Washington). Those are head-scratchers, especially with Irving on the roster.
-- The Cavs (13-22) own the longest losing streak in the league at five in a row. Their schedule doesn't lighten up, either, as they face Utah, Oklahoma City, Denver, Houston and Toronto in their next five.
"This month will be very tough with the opponents we are going to be playing," Scott said. "We have to let the guys know we have a lot of faith in them. We feel if we play the right way and do the right things, we have an opportunity. That's all you can ask for."
-- Second-year guard Manny Harris didn't play against the Wizards. Scott, though, seems to have confidence in him.
"I know Manny," he said. "He plays extremely hard and is a tough kid. That's in his DNA. That's something we need."
