tmcspadden When it comes to public vs private in my opinion it really depends on what area you are in. The public schools I attended in Northern Virginia were better than a lot of the private schools in certain parts of Atlanta. I've attended public schools in the mid...

chicospagal @chicospagal (180) • United States 10 Jan 08

Have you been burned by a store's return policy this post-holiday season? I have! My mom bought my husband a mixer for like $45.00. I was with her when she got it. We weren't sure which kind to get him, but figured he could...

tmcspadden That is terrible! I used to not believe in gift receipts but situations like the one you described make me a believer. I can honestly say the returns policy in Wal-Mart is the one thing they haven't managed to mess up yet. As long as you have some form of ID...

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 8 Dec 06
