		<description>Hi Mike!

I just ordered a maple meck P90 Tele from Kurt.  I am actually a professional guitarist and have owned several Fenders, and a handful of Gibsons.  I read many reviews on SX guitars and watched a few videos on Youtube about them.  People seem to like them saying they blow Squier and Epiphone out of the water.  In the videos, the tone seemed pretty decent on them so I took the plunge and bought one.  I&#039;m not good at working on them so judging by your review, I might be in trouble in that dep&#039;t.  I plan to use it as a spare guitar and gig with it here and there.  I appreciate your review and would appreciate anything else you might have to say about them.  Thanks.

		<description>ABOSULTELY horrible!!! i have been placing various orders for the past 2 weeks on their site and each time it was a headache. Everytime I try to pay it tells me that htere is a problem wiht their site. Don&#039;t they want my money?! i am resorting going to the store. I tell you, if it wasnt for these 10% off coupons, i would take my business elsewhere.- ive spent nearly 8k with them with flooring and misc purchases and by far, i would think twice just because of their stupid site.</description>

		<description>Lord forbid you use the parcial post method.  I ordered a used textbook through amazon for a class... (a month a head of time mind you).  The only option was partial post, and it took them over 2 months to deliver it.   I could take a trip around the world in a bathtub in that amount of time!  Needless to say it came too late to use for class.   I hope these lazy asses go out of business quick.</description>

		<description>This has got to be the absolute worst website ever.  And from the posts I&#039;m reading, it&#039;s been this way for years!  I am trying to compare carpet prices, but do you think I can even find carpet samples on the website??  NO!!!  All that comes up is carpet tiles--11 of them!  When I click on the Stainmaster link, it will not let me select the type.  That&#039;s as far as it goes.  Pages don&#039;t work, you can&#039;t search for anything, and you can&#039;t get prices.  What is the problem that a giant nationwide store can&#039;t get a decent website up????  I called the 800 number and have now been on hold for 25 minutes, and counting.....Shame on you, Lowes, for caring absolutely nothing about your customers.  I was planning on carpeting an entire rental home we have in Bloomington, Indiana, but I will now go to one of the specialty flooring companies in the area.  Hey Lowes, check out Owen Valley Flooring, in little ol Spencer, Indiana!  I was able to find everything I needed and price comparison shop all while I continued to hold for Lowe&#039;s customer service.  I gave up on your website.  Poor, poor, poor....</description>

		<title>Comment on AT&amp;T Sucks by Dominic</title>

		<description>Last month, I was charged by Sprint PCS for making about 4 hours long distance calls from my land-line to the cell phones of three, guess what, AT&amp;T service technicians! 

Sprint maintains that it’s AT&amp;T that routed them the numbers so it must be AT&amp;T to tell them it’s an error for them to take it out.

The AT&amp;T technicians were honest enough to acknowledge that the calls never took place. They also said that they worked in my area during that time. They gave me their manager’s phone number. I called the manager – an AT&amp;T construction manager. He was curious and wanted to take a look at the Sprint bill so I came home during lunch time to meet with him. He recognized his men’s cell phone numbers. Later on that day he called me back to say that my land-line number did not even show up on his men’s cell phone statements. He did not know why his men’s cell phone numbers came into my bill. He asked for a copy of the Sprint bill and I emailed it to him. He promised to take care of it. But nothing happened.

Today, after many phone calls back and forth between Sprint and AT&amp;T, and several complaints filed with BBB and lots of agencies, I called Sprint again. I told the Sprint operator to call the AT&amp;T manager guy I mentioned above. She put me on hold and talked to him for a while and then came back and said that he suggested I make a request for AT&amp;T to come to my house and test the phone line!

Next week, I&#039;ll have to take half a day off waiting for an AT&amp;T technician to come. Oh and btw, when I was setting up this appointment with the AT&amp;T operator, he said that I needed not worry about the service/repair fee because I have insurance for it. 

AT&amp;T does suck. I know that for a fact!</description>

		<title>Comment on My Last Breyers Brand Ice Cream Cone by Greg</title>

		<description>I, too, have now joined the ranks of the Breyers boycott. What a shame. I used to LOVE that thin, kind of dry melt in your mouth texture of Breyers. Now I feel like after a bowl of it that I have a layer of goo stuck in my mouth. It&#039;s like night and day texturally.

I was such a loyal customer too. Not because I felt obligated to them, but because their ice cream was so good. Now it is just another box of 99 cent garbage.

Not sure why this bothers me as much as it does... I don&#039;t know what I&#039;m going to buy now. I live in Ohio and all I normally see at the grocery is more gummy garbage. I sent Breyers a message and told them they lost a long time customer.</description>
