Or the people who review the shipping and not the product. "2 stars because it took a week rather than two days to get here."

Or people that review and never even bought or used it. "I didn't buy it but it looks pretty good - 4 stars".

I'm on my lunch hour and my cat is purring and being all cuddly but I have to go back to work.

Been wanting to upgrade my storage but it seems all the retailers have limits per customer. Who only buys 5 "nas" hard drives at a time? I'd have to buy from more than one place but then it might not be the exact model, I like to try to match them if I can.

Never tried McRib. Something seems off about ribs from Mcdonald's. I'd have to try it before I bash it but I heard it's not even real ribs it's just ground "meat" shaped into one. That just seems odd to me. Guessing it's probably the same stuff they use for the burger patties but with a different sauce?

We "inherited" a barrel sauna when we bought this house. We're not "sauna people," so I posted it on Craigslist. However...it seems that between the time it was checked during the home inspection a year ago and now...the heater has died...so now, it's not worth much.
Sauna is gone! Guy drove over 150 miles to get it...got a lot less for it than I wanted...but with the $750 heater shot...I'm just glad to have it gone.

It's not even a week since I have a truck and I'm already being asked all sorts of favours. I need to help my sister move a piano. I don't even have ramps or a lift or anything. She does not realize there is an actual reason movers charge an extra $300 for that. It's not just two guys lifting it and throwing it in the back of a pickup. It's way more involved than that.
I also lose 2 of my days off next week because I need to help her move a bunch of other stuff. It finally stopped raining every day, so I was hoping to work on my deck during those days off.
Today was my workout day. I guess THAT will be my workout lol.

Move some of her other stuff first and break something. That should get you out of the piano moving.

One of the many reasons I quit driving pickups is because people kept asking me to help them move.

Yeah there are lot of misc accessories like that I need to buy over time. But this is ridiculously short notice of her, I'm totally not prepared for this. And of course it's at 8pm so it's going to be pitch black to make things even more fun.
I'm just going to let whatever happens happen, and tell her she should not have given me such short notice for a job like this.

Tonight you're getting it?! You could stop at the hardware store, get some rope and shackles, and setup a 5:1 haul system fairly cheap. Pianos are fuckin' heavy. Not like file cabinet or drafting table heavy. More like we gotta move this small car with square wheels heavy. I helped move one once. It took four of us to haul it, and we put it in the bucket of a big tire loader. There's a reason it's easy to get 'free piano, you move' deals.

It's like in an hour, so not really much time to prepare. Pitch black out too of course. My sister always makes things harder than they have to be. Just pay the damn 300 bucks to get the moving company to do it. If I had more notice I would have just paid it myself and had the moving company show up instead of me.
The worse part is I think I will need to do this twice. She does not have the keys to her new house yet so I have a feeling we're moving it to someone else's house temporarily. I really don't know the details.
This night could potentially involve a trip to the ER. I really don't feel comfortable with any of this.

Ask her to call who ever she imposed on before.
or whom ever....irregardless, don't pick up heavy shit for other people. Your 55 y.o. back thanks me in the future.
