While bored this afternoon, I googled you (yes I consider it a verb). I am so impressed and delighted to see what you are doing, and to read that you still have excellent taste in music. (I think of you fondly when I hear Pearl Jam). It has been almost 15 years I think. Thats scary. Memories of A.F, Mike D. and the house on Woodlawn. R.S. Hi Jason.

Rock band ticks me off (it's easier to play real instruments for me). Ditto on Twitter. Amazon MP3 is the gem, though. I don't foresee myself buying anything from the Apple Music Store in the future.

A comforter set in Bed Bath and Beyond will come with all the assesories included but at Linens N Things everything is seperate. The other thing is that the store is beautiful. Linens N Things looks like a knock off of Bed Bath and Beyond. They have better deals and a better selection than Linens N Things

I can tell you in good faith as long as it's wrapped, in the case of music or dvd's, we're pretty understanding as long as you're not bring it back in for return after the end of january. Just last week, this being april, I had my ear bent because I couldn't take back a gift purchased in september of '07. Really, we want to make you happy but there is an absolute limit as to what you can expect from a retailer. As for scam artists, they were absolutely an issue before the new policy, it was almost unbelievable what people would bring in or take off the shelves. The store credits would rack up to hundreds of dollars and then be auctioned off on ebay for cash. Unfortunate, but true.
