We have dined here several times over the past couple of years and it just keeps getting better...if that is even possible. This to e arou d we had the tasting menu and every dish was excuisitely prepared and elegantly presented. Chef has a wonderful touch and delivers sincerity with a unique spin on contemporary French cuisine. The organic wine pairings enhanced each dish perfectly. The service was attentive and friendly and not obtrusive in any way. Somehow te staff makes you feel as though you are a regular even when you are not. The atmosphere is upscale but not stuffy. All in all we can't say enough good things about Henri a gem across from millennium Park.
We live around the corner, and Henri is one of our favorite spots. This evening's meal was no exception. I enjoyed Rack of Lamb that was absolutely fabulous; my husband enjoyed Pekin Duck. The dark chocolate souffle was a delightful ending. We left satisfied, but not stuffed. Perfect.
The service was great and the food was amazing. This is such a great place for lunch and dinner.
excellent menu seasonal soup outstanding great although precious wine list
Always enjoy Henri. First time dining outdoors and it was pleasant. Great gin cocktail, very summery. Excellent oysters. Excellent Sicilian wine to accompany steak tartare.
The décor is perfection with the feeling that you have left the states and jetted off to Paris. Then you are greeted by very well educated servers on the food and drink parings. They were attentive yet allowed you to enjoy the night without being too intrusive. Everything was perfectly orchestrated from the ironed linens to the placement of your silverware even refolding my napkin each time I left he table.Now lets get to the good stuff the food. There are not words to describe the eating experience.The lamb and Turbot were not only visually appealing the complexity of flavors and textures were a well-orchestrated symphony. The chef is truly an artist. What a gifted young man.I am barley doing this place justice..
Henri's was recommended by a Chicago friend. Food was only outdone by the attention to details by the staff. We'll be back.
we travel a lot and eat at top rated restaurants often. during our visit to Chicago, we dined at Henri's on a Friday night. I can say this was the most attentive, knowledgeable, and professional staff I have encountered. From the moment we entered, Tim the General Manager was very engaging and communicative on our timeline and table options. We enjoyed the mastery of Thomas, the mixologist behind the bar. Our waiter, Dustin was very helpful and thoroughly explained the meals and the ingredients. Jason, the wine director did a fantastic job of selecting wines to pair with our meals. during the evening, we met the owner, Billy Lawless, as he spent time greeting the patrons as if we were all family. No finer dining experience anywhere!!!
Arrived very early after Symphony ended early... graciously accommodated me despite being very busy... service top notch - I mean how often are you offered "we'll save the last bottle of this wine if you'd like"? Food was incredible as always. I'm looking forward to the autumn menu very very much.
The ensemble of well-executed plates, wonderful menu choices and a refined contemporary setting was completed by a superb staff who made certain that our experience there was perfect. Thank you!
Another fantastic evening at Henri! From the greeting to the wine to the food, everything was spot on as usual. We got the tasting menu with wine pairings and were very pleased with each course and pairing. The first wine was a Sake, which is not a favorite of ours, and they helpfully offered us a substitution. Customer service is second to none here and one gets the feeling they genuinely enjoy their jobs and want to provide a memorable experience. I cannot recommend Henri highly enough for a special occasion!
We had the delightful pleasure of indulging in the wonderful ambiance, attentive service and over the top flavors of our meal. I ordered the ravioli stuffed with quail egg which made a delightfully rich sauce when the pasta was cut, so very French! My husband ordered the Turbot which was a new dish to us with mild flavors accompanied with lobster bits and dill sauce which was out of this world! When making our reservation, the hostess asked if we were celebrating a special occasion or on a time constraint - every moment is a celebration for us and this particular visit, we had plans to attend the Chicago Symphony so truly appreciated their time awareness for us - we had no issues and did not feel hurried or rushed by staff.
I had the peekytoe crab appetizer and the ttoro entree. The peekytoe crab was served with salad greens, a potato pancake and apple sorbet. The crabmeat was extremely salty - I don't know if it is intrinsic or the way it was cooked, but the apple sorbet made it palatable. The ttoro was good but not great - it's possible my tastebuds were numbed out after the appetizer. Ended with the chocolate souffle, which was extremely rich and large - couldn't finish it between 2 people. The service was really outstanding. Our server was Andy.
I don't really want to say too much about this other than be sure you are ready to eat before you sit down because 3 hours later, you will be overwhelmed. This is a full experience...start to finish. Get the wine pairings, you won't regret it.
Elegant environment, nice terrace, excellent service, professional and smiling personnel; nice ambience and very good food; fine wines by the glass; excellent presentation, the food was fresh and tasty. A place to return! We can highly recommend this French restaurant on Michigan Avenue, in the heart of the city. Lots of little attentions!
This was my first time at Henri and I decided to hold my business meeting with my partners there, based on the recommendations from others that were posted on TripAdvisor. It was the best decision I could have made! The food was amazing, the service outstanding, and the ambience incredible. I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. YOU MUST TRY IT! I will be back in the future. This place is high on my priority list for return dining experiences. Kudos to all involved.
The food is always excellent at Henri. The chef honored our request for a special preparation of sturgeon with brussels sprouts, walnut puree, black raspberry jus--Perfect! However, there have always been weak spots. This time our server was polite but was reserved, somewhat unwilling and uneasy with our requests. Our foie gras came without bread. He offered to put in an order of brioche, which came 15 minutes later. When we finally asked a manager why, he simply smiled. After we insisted on knowing why, just out of curiosity, he finally came back with an answer. Issues must be addressed immediately and in such a way that they provide answers to customers and satisfy their wishes and taste!
Henri is one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago & we always make a point to go there when in town. The menu choices are always fabulous, the service is impeccable, the food is delicious and the presentation is lovely. It's a gem of a place!
It was our first time at Henri. What an excellent introduction!. We arrived after attending the Opening Night at the Lyric Opera. There was a short delay in getting seated, but while we waited to be seated at our table, everyone was so generous and helpful. Our meal was fantastic. Every thing we order we really enjoyed. The service was first rate. It's a warm, intimate beautiful restaurant with outstanding food and service. We will be back many times.
if you have not had a chance to dine outdoors at henri's, then you are missing something. they have raised the height of the barriers and added plants so that not many people can peek in and it's a little more private. it also hides the traffic and makes it more pleasant. they do have outdoor heat lamps, in case you should be cold. the food was good as usual.
Seasonal specialities, French-focused but really global cuisine. Just keeps getting better each time we go. They also know how to get you out in time for the theater!
Memories of Paris in chicago. Outstanding food, service and decor. Everything about this place is perfect. I will be back
With all the hype I was expecting something extraordinary. Sometimes that isn't fair to the restaurant. I found the food to be good but not memorable. We were there for lunch and the croque monsieur was ok but not nearly my most memorable experience with that sandwich. the service was excellent and the wines of the day were really great. Great location and a very nice room, but I came away slightly disappointed.
I fell in love with this space as soon as I walked in. It's on the small size so it feels intimate yet not cramped because the ceilings are high and the tables spaced fairly well apart. Our service was excellent; each dish came at just the right moment. The staff is on top of everything without being intrusive. The food is excellent. One of the best renditions of Rabbit Cassoulet I have ever had. Not overly heavy (which is hard to do when it comes to cassoulet) it showcased 3 different preparations of the perfectly tender and rich in flavor meat. The Chocolate souffle is a must order for after dinner. The only disappointing dish was the scallop appetizer because of the prep; I prefer them presented in their whole form, not sliced.
The food was quite good, although portions were surprisingly small; the service was cordial and prompt without being intrusive. If you're a guy accustomed to being filled at the end of the meal, Henri's may not the place for you. If you're treating your wife to an evening of conversation, a quite place, and a very interesting menu, Henri's would be an appropriate choice.
Excellent service, very nice atmosphere and an excellent meal. The menu offers a diverse selection. This is an adult restaurant and not ideal for families with young children.
best dinner in chicago. we went for our wedding anniversary and had a spectacular dinner with spectacular service. also, I'm a vegetarian and there were plenty options.
My second time there and very nice again. I loved my peekey toe crab appetizer. The duck entree was pretty good but not a favorite for me. The service was very good. Looking out at the street view, I really felt as if I were in a little bistro in Paris -- the view and the decor are charming.
Henri is quite the exceptional boutique restaurant. It's intimate atmosphere lends itself toward great conversation. You feel transported from Chicago to the elegant Salons of Paris. The service is exactly what you hope for at an elegant establishment. The servers, host, and other staff where very attentive yet not suffocating. You had the feeling that top talent was waiting on you. The meal was to notch. From the exceptional earthy cream soup, to a beef bourguignon that was cooked to perfection, and a chocolate ganache that delighted one's senses, everything was a highlight. This is a gem, and the view of Millennium Park across the way is not to bad either.
We loved our dining experience at Henri to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Really delicious lunch! Lots to choose from the extensive and reasonably priced menu. Service was perfect: attentive without hovering, friendly without being effusive. The beautiful, elegant décor evokes Parisian fine dining in an intimate atmosphere that is lively and comfortable.
Henri hits every positive nerve of a foodie and wine lover. Exceptional service from every person we interacted with. The host, server, sommelier and bus boys had that perfect ability of being there when you wanted them and not when you wanted to focus on your family and food. A fantastic wine list and food that was treated with pride but not pretension. Can't wait to go back.
We had a small group of 7, a round table in front overlooking Milennium Park, great food, quiet enough for discussion among us all, great service--not only making excellent suggestions as to wine and food, but also entering into the general joviality of our group, adding to our pleasure. The food is outstanding here, with few misses. Use of seasonal local produce. Not a large menu, but lovely choices.All my colleagues were really happy about this restaurant and pleased with our evening.
Henri's was recommended to us by our hotel Staff a few years back, it happened to be opening night. We have come back every year since Love presentation, Love the service and most of all,love the food..
For the first time in several visits I did not go with the tasting menu, but the food was great... started with caviar then soup then sturgeon... the caviar service is beautiful and the soup - I don't use the word evocative often but the autumn potage was evocative of everything autumnal... rich, deep, savory, and just the best soup I've had. Service was perfect.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio and we were visiting Chicago for my birthday. Henri was probably one of the best restaurants I've been to in awhile. Especially since my fiancé and I are kind of a particular couple when dining out. But Henri has magnificent food, service, ambiance and presentation! It was such a lovely experience and beginning to a great evening for us! I highly recommend Henri to those who enjoy all of these things as well, you will NOT be disappointed!
Had recently been wined and dined in San Diego/ DelMar and wanted to return the "dazzle". Henri's was the place to dazzle! jag
Outstanding food and service…. I would highly recommend Henri to anyone.
Walking distance to Harris theater, Auditorium, and Symphony Center across fromNorthGrant Park parking. Food exceptional and survive impeccable
We were in Chicago for the annual meeting of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and wanted a high-end, Saturday night dinner. The restaurant had been touted as an elegant blend of French and American cuisine. And, we were not disappointed. From white table clothes and wood floors to subdued lighting , the atmosphere was spacious yet intimate. In relation to food, my wife is the proverbial "picky eater," and I am a bit of a foodie. Making us both happy, the menu was straightforward offering something for each of us. Our server and the sommelier were warm and friendly. Good experience!
The problem with Henri is determining its finest attribute: the food, the service or the ambience. When all are perfect – the result is that rare experience - the perfect dinner. Henri is simply the finest dinning experience in Chicago
A friend and I went for lunch as we had heard all these wonderful things about the food and I had been craving decadent butter and cream due to the miserable cold weather. We were not dissapointed. Everything we had was delicious and perfectly cooked, and our server Rich was professional and personable at the same time. We still dropped a pretty penny there, but lunch is a really good way to do this high end place if you don't want to blow the bank. We ate like jerks and felt every penny was worth it.
This place is wonderful for dinner. From the moment we walked in, we were taken care of! The petite salad and escargot were well prepared, as were the quail and ttoro. The wine selection is quite nice with many bottles in the 2-2.5 times retail (typically in the city it runs 3-4 times) and a nice selection of by the glass options. The atmosphere really gives the vibe of a french parlor, with views out to Michigan Ave. Will be back again for dinner and lunch.
As always, a superb meal and superior service in a lovely setting.
We go to Henri several times a year before or after theater. The food and service are consistently excellent, as is the ambience if you like the white tablecloth look and non-rock music coming over the speakers. The wines by the glass are excellent and the tasting menu has always been a treat.
Food was very good from start to finish. My friend and I had 6 different things on the menu and they were all exceptional from oysters to duck. The only problem was the lighting-it is somewhat dark but irritating to the eyes for unclear reason.
As always, Henri was perfect for our special occasion. Wonderful food and outstanding service in an elegant and amazingly comfortable setting.
Henri's is reminiscent of a lovely French restaurant with a killer view of Chicago's jewel, Millennium Park. The dishes are delicious, inventive, and satisfying. The service is impeccable. We ate lunch here for the Christmas holidays and this was such a gift. We loved the mussels with prosciutto, the apple soup with lobster, and a lovely salad garnished with apple. The quiche was savory and the mushroom duxelles with cheese on a crostini so comforting on a cold winter day. We finished with complimentary Bourbon Truffles and a creme brûlée.
I've dined at Henri many times and have always been overjoyed with every aspect of the dinner. The seared foie gras is a must, and then sit back and relax into wonderful French cuisine. Unequivocally recommended.
This was a wonderful restaurant for a special occasion. Next to The Gage on Michigan Ave. this comfortable upscale place has outstanding food, one of the best cocktail menus I have ever seen, and they were delicious. The Lamb rack was outstanding. Ask your waiter or waitress for suggestions, they are well trained and full of information. A special place, but definitely on the pricey side...but worth it.
A late meal after a CSO concert... greeted by name on arrival... and I was lucky enough to be treated to the chef's menu, new items being rolled out. Creative, thoughtful cooking, things come out and I think "that won't work" and it works - layers of flavors and textures creating stunningly good food. Add to that what I can only call seamless service and I have one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere. I had to forego desert because I was stuffed... kampachi; scallop; mackerel; foie gras (decadent and delicious) and a beef dish combining NY strip, Waigu and blood oranges... really special. Final note - some changes to front of house... but no changes to the excellence at all. Love talking to chef, owner, waiters and Mike the barkeep

Relationships |
A widow is a woman whose spouse has died, while a widower is a man whose spouse has died. The state of having lost one's spouse to death is termed widowhood. This term can be used for either sex, at least according to some dictionaries,[1][2] but the word widowerhood is also listed in some dictionaries.[3][4] Occasionally, the word viduity is used. The adjective form for either sex[5][6] is widowed. The treatment of widows around the world varies, but unequal benefits and treatment generally received by widows versus widowers globally has spurred an interest in the issue by human rights activists.[7]
Economic position[edit]
In societies where the husband was the sole provider, his death could leave his family destitute. The tendency for women to generally outlive men can compound this,[citation needed], since men in many societies marry women younger than themselves[citation needed]. In some patriarchal societies, widows could maintain economic independence. A woman would carry on her spouse's business and be accorded certain rights, such as entering guilds. More recently, widows of political figures have been among the first women elected to high office in many countries, such as Corazón Aquino or Isabel Martínez de Perón.
In 19th century Britain, widows had greater opportunity for social mobility than in many other societies. Also, along with the ability to ascend socio-economically, women who were "presumably celibate" were much more able (and likely) to challenge conventional sexual behavior than married women in their society.[8]
In some parts of Europe, including Russia, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Italy, and Spain, widows used to wear black for the rest of their lives to signify their mourning. This mourning ritual does not remain in practice. Many immigrants from these cultures to the United States as recently as the 1970s have loosened this strict standard of dress to only two years of black garments[citation needed]. However, Orthodox immigrants may wear lifelong black in the U.S. to signify their widowhood and their devotion to their deceased husband.
In other cultures, however, widowhood is much stricter and unarguably more demeaning to women's rights. Often, women are required to remarry within the family of their late husband after a period of mourning[citation needed]. With the rise of HIV/AIDS levels of infection across the globe, rituals to which women are subjected in order to be "cleansed" or accepted into her new husband's home make her susceptible to the psychological adversities that may be involved as well as imposing health risks[citation needed].
It is often necessary for women to comply with the social customs of her area because her fiscal stature depends on it, but this custom is also often abused by others as a way to keep money within the patriarchal family.[9] It is also uncommon for widows to challenge their treatment because they are often "unaware of their rights under the modern law…because of their low status, and lack of education or legal representation."[7]
In the U.S., as of 2004, women who are "widowed at younger ages are at greatest risk for economic hardship." Similarly, married women who are in a financially unstable household are more likely to become widows "because of the strong relationship between mortality [of the male head] and wealth [of the household]."[9] In underdeveloped and developing areas of the world, conditions for widows are much more severe still. However, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women ("now ratified by 135 countries"), while slow, is working on proposals which will make certain types of discrimination and treatment of widows (such as violence and withholding property rights) illegal in the countries that have joined CEDAW.[7]
Widows/widowers by country[edit]
In India, there is often an elaborate ceremony during the funeral of a widow's husband, including smashing the bangles, removing the bindi as well as any colourful attire, and requiring the woman to wear white clothes, the colour of mourning. Earlier it was compulsory to wear all white after the husband was dead, and even a tradition known as sati was practiced, in which the newly widowed woman would throw her body onto her husband's burning funeral pyre and immolate herself.
However, in modern culture, the norms for clothing have gradually given way to coloured clothing. Sati practice has been banned in India for more than a century. The ban began under British rule and is much owed to the persistence of the social reformer Ram Mohan Roy, who asserted that sati was a means of showing status rather than a universal ritual in India, and said that "there are other ways of doing it than by burning wives." [10]
Certain matrilinear communities, the most notable being the Nairs from Kerala allow and even encourage widow remarriage. In these societies, children retain the family name of the mother, and women were permitted to divorce and remarry if they wished.
Vrindavan is known as the "City of Widows"[11] because of the many widows who move into the town and its surrounding area. According to some Hindu traditions, upper-caste widows may not remarry, so many of those abandoned by their families on the death of their husband make their way here. There are an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 widows living on the streets,[12][13] many of whom have spent over 30 years there. In exchange for singing bhajan hymns for 7–8 hours in bhajanashrams, women are given a cup of rice and a pittance of money (around Rs.10),[11] which they try to supplement by begging on the streets. An organization called Guild of Service was formed to assist these deprived women and children.[13] In 2000, the organization opened Amar Bari (My Home), a refuge for 120 Vrindavan widows, and a second shelter for 500 widows is expected to open.

SYRACUSE -- You may have noticed some trees are already starting to lose their leaves. Dr. Donald Leopold, Professor of Forest and Wetland Ecology at SUNY-ESF, says the lack of rain this summer is starting to pose a threat to certain trees.
"Eventually, if they get so little water, not only will they quit growing as much as they normally would but they can start shedding branches and shedding leaves," he says.
Professor Leopold says newly planted trees are the most vulnerable to the dry conditions.
"They are really stressed out. In many cases some of the new plantings in the city here look like they are not going to make it because of the extra water that was really needed," he says.
Professor Leopold says the lack of water also weakens trees defenses making them more vulnerable to attacks from insects and disease.
There is a one potential bright spot to this dry weather. Professor Leopold says it could help create some spectacular fall foliage.
"One of the best conditions for fall colors to happen are dry conditions, but not so dry the leaves fall off and sunny days," he says.

There's this book called "sanity, madness, and the family", which just about saved my life....up until i read the book, I honestly thought i was going crazy....i come from an abusive, dysfunctional family and when i was living with my parents, i would try to have conversations with my mom about things my dad would do, and she would say to me, "that never happened! i dont know what you're talking about! stop making stuff up!"....i guess it was her way of coping, but i kept hearing it over and over and over again so i just eventually started believeing it. my boyfriend happened to give me the book and it was such a fucking relief to read it and realize that sanity was more a figment of perspective than anything else.
good luck all. this is a rough time of year. |

(((kittenb & your sis)))
(((persimmon_grrrl))), I think all family's have there ups and downs. Distance can sometimes really help change things though. For me, I kind of vaguely get along with my parents, but we are so different. We just never seem to see eye to eye. And they are such cold people, I really don't think we'll ever connect or have a meanful relationship. But they are my parents so I try to accept them and hang on to some sort of relationship w/ them. -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.

I am not sure if this is the best place to write about this but I can't find a better fit. So...
My sister and her husband are breaking up. Mostly because he has a new girlfriend. All of his friends are now telling her that for three years the man has been telling everyone that they have an open marraige and that my sis is okay with that. Well, he never told her they were having an open marraige. And I know she would not have been okay with it. It is tearing me apart but I can't fo anything. I want to kill the motherfucker. I loved this man. He was my family! How dare he do this to my sister? To make matters even worse, my parent marraige broke up years ago b/c of a long-standing affair on my mother's part. I don't know, if I was in my sister's shoes, if I would have been able to go to our parents for support. Luckily she has. I can't even articulate how angry I am at him. He is a liar and a freak and I hope ge gets some horrible disease that he passes on to his new g/f. Stupid hippie freak. He belongs to a Greatful Dead-style band and when I have gone to the concerts there were always these tiny little hippy-ettes twirling around in long skirts cooing over him b/c he was such a "real hippie," or whatever. I am guessing that it is one of them that he is with now. Stupid bastard! -------------------- In times of destruction, create something.

hi busties,
i hope everyone survived the recent holiday with their sanity. i have been feeling pretty depressed lately, and am still living with the family, unfortunately. my main struggle right now is finding a job. i was actually offered a job in another city, but i need to look out for my income, as well, and i would be struggling. however, now i regret not taking the job and just saying, "i don't care how much/little i make, i just need a job because i can finally move out!" i didn't, though, and so i've been interviewing for jobs, and am waiting on other options for now. i have this feeling that i'll never get better around the family. i feel so hopeless, helpless, and trapped around them, and i feel like when i do respond by expressing myself, it is just seen as my own "pathology," and i'm told to take medication. while i understand that depression and other forms of trying to cope, and the symptoms of not coping, deserve treatment and help, it is also important that my healing be connected with open-eyed awareness of the causal factors leading to my body expressing discomfort, through eating, depression, mood, etc. i so often feel trapped, and only recently (this past weekend), i felt utterly hopeless and angry with myself for not being out of the parents' home sooner. i don't consider them my family, though. emotionally, i feel very numb and disconnected from them. i do not trust them, and they are not people i feel i can have any meaningful connection or conversation with. my health is suffering as a result. i'm socially and politically conscious enough to know that "thinking differently" and "changing my perspective" often isn't enough to create the kind of sustainable change i'd like to see in my own life, and also in the world i see. too much of the "meditate it away" seems to individualize and pathologize a single person, not connecting up the dots, and honestly doesn't work, since it is very isolating in its approach. i definitely try to build community where i am. because it was the holiday, people were being nicer to me, and it threw me off. i've become very guarded and emotionally self-enclosed since i began living with the parents again. while it has not been a year, it is psychically very dangerous for me to live with them. i've been attacked by them, and am constantly criticized, from being interrogated about what and how i fed their dogs, to why i opened a blind this morning while sitting to eat breakfast at the kitchen table. they know i don't have the job to move out yet, and they know i won't move out until i am sure that i can find a job and know i won't ever have to come back here again. in a sense, i feel they use this knowledge against me, knowing i don't have much recourse. i spent as little time here as possible, but this weekend i was feeling quite low and hung around. there is a lot of packing i need to do, but i'm hesitant to do so. i wish i could just say, "bugger it all," and just take the clothes, toiletries, and several books i have. what's holding me back? i feel like i have more things i need to take, like kitchen things i've acquired over the years, the many books and papers i have. i don't want to leave anything here when i leave, nothing that i would have to return to get. i do not trust my parents and i do not want to stay here much longer. it is creating a lot of pain in myself. i am trying to be well. |

(((busties))) Wish my mom would get drunk....it might help her loosen up!
I have to say I was pleasently surprised, my hubby and I both agreed this was our best Thanksgiving, ever. My sisters house and family were so relaxed and chill. We feasted, I played with my niece for hours. My sis and I drank wine, the guys had a couple beers and we all ended up playing cards. Wish all holidays could be that great! *shivers* Christmas is close, and I'm just not lucky enough to have two great holidays in one year. My sister is going to me out of state, so we are stuck w/ my hubby's fam or my mom and dad......maybe we'll just go MIA and celebrate on our own. -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around.

Pink, welcome to my world. My mother and father get drunk and yell at me over the phone about my lifestyle choices, and how all my friends are assholes. I was so happy to spend Turkey Day away from them. I am not looking forward to Christmas at all.
They're now wanting me to move to SC to be closer to them. Although, I have not signed a lease at the new place. They put it in terms of if my new relationship and new job doesn't work out.... that's understandable, and a valid point. However, my shit job is getting better, and my relationship with Mcgeek is on the up and up. Just when my life starts picking up, they have to just throw a monkey wrench into it. ((everyone)) |

I had to hang out with my family today. Egad. I had to play nice with my uncle who STOLE MY FUCKING CHRISTMAS GIFT last year. Who the hell steals gifts from their own family? And of course, everyone got completely wasted. My other uncle started his real life Michael Richards impression where every other word was the N word. I sometimes can't believe I have direct DNA links to these people. But I suffered through, and I lived to tell about it.

Happy Thanksgiving to people with family problems! Hope it isn't too painful for anybody, at least it's just one day...
Today shall be relatively pain free for me, except for the fact that I feel obligated to call my father, whom I haven't seen in a year and haven't spoken to in at least 4 months. I guess it could be worse....I could be seeing him in person. Lets get through it together! |

My mom disowned my sister a couple of years ago. It's strange, and too much to go into, but I decided to go to my sister's house for Thanksgiving this year. And my mom is pissed. She is acting like I have betrayed her. But I have nephews and a niece and it's important to me to be a part of thier lives. Plus my mom is nuts and has no reason to be mad at my sister.
Personally, I am glad I chose to go to my sis's. It will be a really peaceful, relaxing day. But I wonder if my mother will ever get over herself and realize how much time she is wasted. Not to mention how many of our life events she hasn't been apart of and maybe regret it someday. -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.

(((persimmon_grrrl)))Don't worry I have known tons of people in your situation, after college. Things will get better.
I moved out when after I turned 18. I worked part-time and went to college. I had started working odd jobs when I was 14 and was a pretty dilligent saver so I had a nice sized nest egg to fall back on. But times were rough, I had to have a pretty tight budget, and eventually ended up working full time and taking on roomates to get by. But I am pretty independent, and my family life wasn't exactly nuturing and supportive. With my mom after you turned 18 you either moved out or got kicked out, so I planned ahead after seeing the struggles my older siblings went through. But moving out was amazing! I loved being on my own and making my own rules and figuring out how I wanted to live my life. And eventually, I ended up having a better relationship with parents than I ever had when we lived together. (Though it still needs improvement) Basically, it just weigh all of your options carefully. Housing and utilities vary from state to state, so its hard to let you know. Definately, listen to what mornington suggested. Good luck, coeur ny! -------------------- -We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.

Good luck Coeur,
I'm just a sometime lurker but hope your situation improves.....it's really hard (financially) to move out on your own, I found myself in a similar situation to yours and know how stressful it can be. I first moved away to college at 18 but then transfered to one closer to home at 19 and moved out at 20. I was still in school full time and it was a real struggle to do find a job to pay rent.....I was super lucky that my parents continued to pay my schooling....but everything else, rent, food, utilities, school books, transportation etc I was on my own. I worked my ass off at school ANd my bartending job and it was really hard but it was still better than living at home with my crazy ass dysfunctional family. In fact, I would have done it sooner except that my parents are manipulative and passive agressive so they would say sarcastic things like, "yeah, it's so hard to live with us..." or "if you weren't so angry we would all be happier living together as a familiy," etc etc. And I let it get to me so much that I really began to believe that I was the crazy one, not them. That is one thing I wonder about in your situation: if your parents are so overprotective of you now, would they be accepting of you moving out? Would they cut you off? Like I said, i was real lucky they continued (more or less) to pay for my education...without that, I would have either had to drop out or stay at home. My apartment was slummy and disgusting and infested with silverfish, and I had eight roommates and one single bathroom, but for the most part it was still better than living at home with my family. Oh, and mornington's suggestions were awesome. |

hi coeur, welcome to BUST!
well, I'm 20, and I've been in my own place for a couple of months now - however, my father still helps pay my rent (I'm at university and my course doesn't allow time for a job, my younger brother also lives with me during school holidays instead of with our father). I pay all my utilities (electricity, gas, water, internet, phone, tv license), food and other bills, as well as a third of my rent. Last year I lived in a shared apartment, but I was lucky enough to find this place for a relatively low rent for the area. I'm in London, so my budget probably wouldn't help, but my total rent, as well as utilities and food probably come to around £850/month or thereabouts. I get on with my mum - she lives overseas - but don't have a lot to do with my dad. Are you at college or uni? If so, can you stay in halls/dorms - that might be an acceptable "halfway" for you as far as your parents are concerned. Your expenses will rely on what the local rent rates are like - work out what your funds are like (are you working as well as/instead of college?) and then look around to see what you have available in your town. To be honest, you'll be looking at a shared bedsit/studio. Even if you're not in college, if there's a local college that'll be a good place to start looking for available shared housing; if they have a housing office they might offer you some advice on budget. Talk it over with your parents; do you have a good reason to stay where you are? Have you got friends/friends' parents who'll keep an eye on you? Hope that helps! Stick around, there are plenty of people who'll have much better advice than me. |

For Charles paid in here to talk a little bit about a market they could hit an all time high.
All time high and Charles was coming in here has never been in the better mood than I've seen and so far this morning and relax my goodness that's.
I love it I mean listen my side my whole thing is I've been -- tell people listen I know he would -- -- with the administration we're gonna wrong direction.
All those things are true at least in my mind but by the same token you have to -- in this market.
You have to beacons that provides -- -- would you wanna be part owner of a company called Caterpillar sure wanna you wanna be part owners are -- Kellogg McDonald's would you wanna be.
And not only that American people a lot of money.
That's why you're not -- make yourself a lot of almost every single day for the last week and a half I've had at least one -- in the top five percentage gainers.
Yesterday at 230 it would not the Tracy and and Tracy we actually I did Tempur-Pedic.
It was fun because it I think -- Tempur-Pedic as the stock your retirement reports is usually a bigger down big and are trying to explain if you do the stock.
You know understand risk so we had a lot of phone that but the bottom line is kind of going.
Back again a lot of phone calls people were confused in emails so actually so -- the cleared up.
3 o'clock buy this stock into the earnings right now.
It's a number one percentage Gainer in premarket activity.
You mentioned.
That you have to be in the market and some people watch and they say boy I've heard this before in the market shot up in these guys get on TV and this again -- -- -- -- -- and then I get a NN the whole thing.
Falls apart -- -- we mentioned -- we show the chart that showed the all time high.
For stocks in October 2007 back when the Dow was above where it is now at 14100164.
And that obviously wouldn't have been -- time to get -- Balance that was one the month before the Great Recession began however what the stock market with -- me you know.
There's a problem 40% of people who are in the market have one stock.
Not in the market if you have one stock in turn it into a casino debate on debt.
And by the way people sold the sixty billion dollars worth of equity mutual funds and -- at February march of 2009.
At the exact bottom they took the biggest hit in the history.
When they should've been by just about buying at the top -- bottom.
It's about always try to find value in fact for me it does become more frustrating I -- -- my businesses exploding.
People coming back to the market wanna sign up to my my best service last Saturday she lost seven million in 2008 -- A -- signed up two days ago I got on the phone with them he hates the market.
But he's got -- Quantum picks equities for the last two years and -- gonna leave them he knows that they're telling them that he knows got to play the market he hates the market.
But I do understand the idea of people being like this that's -- for -- would you suggest cats positions -- depending on the risk in the market but overall.
We're all in the market.
If anybody even mcdonalds today there in the stock market of -- was wearing a -- -- there in the stock market you're watching this TV show.
You're in the stock market because you're fueling somebody else's profits so you might as -- get on the other end of it because it's not it's ridiculous not to be a part owner of these companies.
Now the other side of that I think you -- it's a moment ago and -- you know I've actually I can remember it's almost like addition of the moment having the same conversations a few years ago about how politics relate.
See you economics and also to investing in you know you your problem if you're on Varney and company today -- I watch -- -- a lot not times.
-- Stewart and others are complaining about the political environment.
And then you're upset you're able separate the -- -- how you look at investing that a lot of people.
Aren't and that's the frustrating thing from me I started -- radio show in Orange County can't -- number 1 -- station in the country.
And and bet -- march of 2009 at the exact -- And I was begging very conservative body to say guys you have to separate your disdain for Obama's policies and all -- the notion of being owner in great companies by the way.
My biggest my biggest investment PC's right now there's not even the American economy it's the global economy right.
Don't know what the Wall Street Journal's fantastic but you know what you pick up in my make excited travel leisure.
I'm reading the latest issue travel leisure and -- who had -- -- did you see the hotels and opening up there -- the four seasons in this and that.
The world -- did the world it's never been this prosperous before never in the history of mankind has the entire planet.
That's a sample of European countries and prevent the entire planet in this prosperous before.
Our companies are positioned to take full of -- -- that be.
-- in some ways it's threatening to people to regular people here in the United States because what you're talking about -- those trends actually have competition they think.
-- there does and it and it does and some of the jobs have left overseas another thing so people feel threatened by the the rising power of countries and -- other places but your point is to take advantage of that.
Well because first of all you know being threatened by being worried about it doesn't stop it right going to be quite frankly the MB that quite frankly I think the president's policies are making is that much more vulnerable.
-- and why is Europe in trouble because they established so the big welfare societies and now they're now they're now they're anchored by them.
There anchor -- the promises that they've made people that Greece said okay we'll pay fourteen months of work for twelve -- to work all of you haven't hit take two years on the -- Semester which parts of the world do you like because some of the conversation the -- -- -- jobless.
I think Jamie Dimon referred to this earlier and others have that -- the US is the best of the bad bunch.
That reference is is really comparing us I think to Europe perhaps what you're talking about what when you say that the global economies humming along Russia has a 5% unemployment right now Turkey is an amazing economy should think twice about even wanting to join the EU.
A Mexico Panama have you seen Panama City skyline duopoly deploy your socks off you tired object of Mariano Rivera when I think -- that's right but you know what look at this guy -- his start thinking about other things -- back.

In fact in the world right now the seven billion people in the world six billion cell phones and only three billion toilets.
The bottom line is that there's technology out there there's no -- out there there's the Internet there's some things at a democratizing opportunity.

Quarterfinalists Decided at Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian
SAN SEBASTIAN, Basque Country / Spain (Friday, July 22, 2011) – The ASP Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian ran through another marathon day of competition to decide quarter-finalists in both men's and women's divisions with the level of surfing stepping up into top gear. Europe's finest male and female athletes tore apart the long lefts and rights in improving 3-4ft waves at the main event site of La Zurriola.
Medi Veminardi (St Leu, REU) 19, jumped out of the starting blocks with a combination of powerful forehand snaps and foam climbs to link various sections together to post a 9.50 out of 10. Veminardi quickly backed up with another left which he destroyed to post an 8.83 and a combined heat total of 18.33, the highest of the event.
"I was kind of tired because I was first heat this morning and I had to wait all day at the beach. So I just drank a lot of water and I saw the waves were difficult and I had to choose two good waves and I was lucky to get the two good ones. You had to be in the right spot at the right time. The waves came to me and I am used to lefts from where I am from so I am happy.
Veminardi has continued to work hard on his technique and competitive tactics in this his final year as a junior and the results are starting to pay off. With a clear end of year objective to make the ASP World Junior Series ever present in his approach to each heat he surfs.
"I have just come back from Panama and I got some good comments on my surfing there so it boosted my confidence. I went back home and trained. I am feeling good for the summer. I want to get the title and go heat by heat and I hope it all goes well.
Justine Dupont (Lacanau, FRA) 19, set the women's division off to an explosive start with a near perfect display as she attacked the long lefts with a series of backhand hacks and carves to amass a combined two-wave heat total of 17.40 out of 20.
"I was a bit stressed just before my heat because I saw my fin was cracked so I started off with care not to push the tail too much but after it was ok so I went for the turns. There are some good lefts and I saw some good rights too but I chose to go left on my backhand. I feel confident so we will see what happens in the next heat."
Dupont currently sits in third position on the ASP Europe Women's Pro Junior series and is facing all her nearest opponents in the upcoming rounds. After competing in the recent ASP World Longboard event in Biarritz, Dupont is now focusing on her favourite short board speciality as the series builds to its finale.
"In all the Pro Juniors the top girls are in them so you have to surf your best all the time. It is an important contest and one I want to do my best at if I want to maybe win the title."
Marie Dejean (FRA) 19, also concentrated on the peeling lefts to easily advance through to the quarter-finals. Her backhand turns looked sharp and crisp as she linked her snaps through the flatter sections of the waves. Dejean racked up a two-wave heat total of 15.60 which included an excellent 8.00. She sits in 19th position on the ASP European Women's Pro Junior series after a positive 9th finish in her debut 2011 Pro Junior appearance last month.
"At the beginning I got a very good left with some good manoeuvres and I am happy because it has been a long time since I have surfed like that in a heat. That wave then gave me the confidence to keep going in the rest of the heat."
Dejean, in her third year of medical school, has shown on many occasions her capability to beat any number of top seeded girls on tour and if conditions prevail could make a run for the Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian title.
"I had to wait for the next good wave but they came and I got the excellent score. If the waves stay like this and I can keep surfing like that I will be pleased to do it in the next rounds."
The Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian is crucial for all surfers wishing to build on their rankings towards qualifying for the ASP World Junior Series which kicks off with the Oakley World Pro Junior on October 3, in Bali Indonesia. Surfers are also out to win the added prize purse of 2000 Euros up for grabs offered by Surfing Euskadi for the overall best performer in both divisions at the Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian and the upcoming Sopelana Pro Junior.
A first call at 07h30 will be made for both men and women with quarter-finals running through to the crowning of this year's Oakley Pro Junior San Sebastian champions.

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas police are investigating whether the slaying of a 78-year-old woman whose body was found at her home was a botched burglary.
Oak Farms Dairy on Sunday night announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the killing of Avenell Cowgill.
Police doing a welfare check Saturday at the request of some neighbors discovered Cowgill's body. The house's back door was open.
An autopsy has been ordered. The coroner's office had no additional information for release Monday.

Blade-Runner Weedless Paddle Head Swim Jig - $3.99
The Blade-Runner Weedless Paddle Head Swim Jig is designed to be used with a soft plastic swim bait or grub trailer. Thanks to the weedguard, the Paddle Head may be fished around heavy vegetation and standing timber, while the large eyes and realistic skirt colors draw fish to strike. Try rigging this bait with a Swim Senko, or a
Double Tail or
Single Tail grub.
Comments: I used the bluegill pattern yesterday and caught a nice 2 pounder. I had a green Zoom Super Fluke as a trailer. I recommend using some sort of soft swimbait as a trailer to keep the dinks away. There was a dink that was semi interested in my bait but did not commit cuz I think the rig was too big for it. Over all I think it is a not half bad bait. Picked up minimal grass but I was picking up grass from time to time. I am ordering the Strike King version to see if the bullet shaped head is better through weeds.

Who we are
Causeway Coast Vineyard is one church in three locations looking to change the community one life at a time. We are a group of people who are passionately pursuing God's heart for His city through our ordinary everyday lives.
Here is our story up to this point
"It's difficult to chart the journey of the Causeway Coast Vineyard on one page on a website because the real story is found in the changed lives and stories of the people. We hope this gives you a small flavour of where we have been and we cant wait to see where it goes from here.
Our journey began in May 1999 with a group of six people tenaciously guarding the dream that it is possible to live differently in order to make a difference.
Our very first public meeting was held in a pub on the promenade in Portstewart, which caused some interest from the local press
From this time the church continued to grow and this resulted in us moving into a new space in the Edgewater Hotel in Portstewart.
It was a great location to have Sunday Morning Services and we all fondly remember the view that we had over the Atlantic ocean.
The Lord blessed us greatly while we were based in the Edgewater and we grew to around 150 people and this was also the time when we heard God clearly call us to turn our church around and become outward focused and from that point on me knew church life would never quite be the same.
We went forward with this phrase in our hearts; "If we will go after the lost, God will look after the church"
From here we moved into the University of Ulster in Coleraine where we spent 4 wonderful years and for the first time we had to move to two services.
It was here that we began to make our impact on our local community through new ministries and the compassionate hearts of the people. For the first time we held our Compassion Christmas Dinner, Recovery Groups, Allstars kid's ministry to name a few and while we were in this location our Healing on the Streets ministry was also birthed.
Then in May 2008 we moved into the Dunnes Stores building in Coleraine, which was our first 7 day a week venue, this allowed us to build on the work in the community we had started.
In this venue we launched our Sunday Food Giveaway, Destination:Home, Connect ministry and so many other initiatives that have allowed us to make an impact on our local community.
In October 2012 we finally built our own base on our site on Hillman's Way, Coleraine; our new home. It is an incredible space which has enabled us to increase the work we have been called to in this area.
Our story continues to be written on the lives of our members and in the heart of our community.
Its simply the story of a church where lives are changing. Where people are saying 'yes' to God and experiencing life in a fresh way."

The redbirds are turning green. It's not some blight changing cardinals' colors, it's solar panels at Busch Stadium where the World Champion Saint Louis Cardinals play.
The photovoltaics should pump out 32,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity this year. To put that in baseball terms, that's enough to cook 4 million hot dogs.
Saint Louis actually has a long history with solar, hosting one of the earliest solar power plants for the World's Fair in 1904. And with climate change threatening to shift the habitat of the birds that the baseball team takes its name from, well, every little bit of clean energy helps.
And it's not just Saint Louis. Across the state, the Kansas City Royals also have solar panels, as do the Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants, and Cleveland Indians.
In fact, Cleveland's ball field also boasts a spiral wind turbine designed to generate power even from relatively weak winds. While other teams may benefit from the wind for power hitting, the Indians will be the only ones to harvest the power in gusts to generate electricity. Now if they could only win a championship.

Denison Tops DePauw in NCAA Third-Round Thriller
May 14, 2011
May 14, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — In a match that came down to just the number-one singles match on the court, sixth-ranked Denison advanced to the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals following a 5-4 win over #17 DePauw in the third round of the national tournament.
Denison scored the match's first point after its number-two doubles team of Kelsey Geppner and Alex Marcell defeated DePauw's Elizabeth Young and Meg Crowley by an 8-4 score.
The Big Red made it 2-0 when the number-one tandem of Kristin Cobb and Sarah Short topped Janelle Arita and Kelly Gebert, 8-3. DePauw trimmed the lead to 2-1 as its number-three doubles team of Tricia Wilks and Lizzy Whitlatch beat Kate Westenberger and Jane Lent, 8-5.
Singles play started outside but was moved indoors due to rain during the first set of each. Katie Regan of DePauw evened the score with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over Lilianna Broussalian at sixth singles. Denison's Westenberger gave her team a 3-2 advantage following a 6-2, 6-3 win at number-five singles over Young.
Marcell made it 4-2 with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Crowley at fourth singles, but DePauw closed the gap to 4-3 when Gebert rallied for a 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Short at the number-two slot.
Wilks then evened the score at 4-4 with a 6-3, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4 win over Geppner and, just minutes later, Cobb wrapped up a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Arita.
Denison improved to 18-4, while the Tigers finished the season at 14-10. Arita and Gebert will represent DePauw at the NCAA Division III Singles and Doubles Championships with Arita competing in singles and the pair playing in doubles.

EMU delivers an inspiring range of outdoor furniture with its Classic wired collection, perfect for the Australian lifestyle and climate. Great for the hospitality industry as the range is hard wearing and attractive.
The Cantilever combines EMU's manufacturing tradition with its vocation for experimenting with design to produce an extremely comfortable chair giving an oscillating effect. The range has been developed on the basis of the lightness and transparency of the frames appearing to cradle the sitter and includes an armchair, a low armchair, a large rectangular table and a sun lounger.
The Cantilever range was inspired by the idea of a chair made entirely of iron, with an overhanging structure, to create a product that is lightweight and strong. Prototype Commercial Furniture can aesthetically compliment the chair with custom upholstery.

One word: Finland!!! Such change of concept
One word: Finland!!! Such change of concept
Indeed. We changed the concept from dickless inoffensive pop () to shitty hard rock. I'm not sure if I should feel proud or ashamed.
Death to Eurovision 2006
Btw, that guy has stolen the hook part of the chorus from Alice Cooper, Poison...
The average AI driver; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZvTo...ature=youtu.be
That band would win every costume contest.
I like there appearance, i`m an Manowar fan and would be glad if an hardrock band will win the song contest.

Buy the Games you play.
This should be the minimum support and respect to the Developers work.
The Eurovision Song Contest has been dead for several years. All you see lately is Eastern European countries playing "You vote for me and I'll vote for you". If I wanted to see that I would just watch a seemingly endless debate about the acquisition of toilet paper in the Dutch politics extravaganza on tv.
P.S. if we (Netherlands) ever send such a stupid entry as this year ever again then I will personally make sure that the Eurovision is taken off the air in the entire country
Heh, when I made a topic about Eurovision like 2 years ago some yankee moderator closed it saying something about me spamming or some such bollocks. GO BRITAIN!!!!
If it's that Daz Sampson guy I am going to puke.
proud of course, we should have sent Nightwish or something similar YEARS ago. most of the entries this year (as usual) are in the category of "this is just like the previous song" with Finland and Lithuania making the most visible exceptions.Originally Posted by (Ares1978 @ May 19 2006,00:39)
Nightwish is elegant looking (at least it was when Tarja was in) compared to the current one.
she's just too egocentric. and that's a bit of what at least Finns think about Lordi, that Lordi is just the front man but in fact it's the whole band. that's what Tarja had in her mind, that she was Nightwish, taking all the credit for what the band had become.Originally Posted by (Ike_Trak @ May 19 2006,13:46)

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 Hanns-G HZ281HPB review
The HZ281 offers a huge screen, nice, solid looks and the best colour gamut coverage for sRGB and AdobeRGB
- Manufacturer: HannsG
- Pros: Big screen; stylish; good tonal range; very bright display; fast refresh rate; good sRGB and Adobe RGB coverage; 1,920 x 1,200 resolution
- Cons: Slightly warm display; some unevenness at the top of the screen; quite bulky at the back; stand lacks flexibility
- Price: £201.99
- Star rating:
Even though the 27.5in Hanns-G HZ281HPB is the oldest monitor here – still available in retail channels though – it also happens to be one of the more stylish with its gloss black and short, thick pedestal that sits out of the way. The support offers little in the way of flexibility though, it tilts a bit and that's it.
The HZ281 is also the thickest and heaviest monitor here, there's lots of it round the back where the power and monitor cables plug in under the backplate. Unlike most of the others with this design, because it's so large and high up, it's one of the easiest to actually plug into. The controls on the front are standard buttons with no surprises.
Once calibrated colours were a little on the warm side but showed an excellent range of tones from highlights to shadows. In terms of sharpness it's not quite as sharp as the AOC, which is a benefit for some text screens, but a disadvantage if you're looking at landscape photos. This is a TN screen but horizontal viewing angles are good and only if you sink into your seat does the screen darken.
The plus side is the 3ms refresh rate, not quite as fast as the AOC, but faster than everything else on test, and it can handle action games and films with aplomb. It also has the brightest display of the lot by far, at a whopping 400cdm2 brightness. With an HDMI interface it could easily double up for cinematic viewing in brightly lit rooms.

First of all i would want to say that this dryer wasnt sealed it was packed and given but unlike a box piece it was in a box of philips but not sealed.
Apart from that there are only 2 speed settings 1 with medium heat and blow and other one with much higher blower and heat and there is a concentrator apart from that i have to use the product and see its effectiveness
But over all for the price its really good
Flipkart service in terms of delivery is good and packaging is also good not great.
For 600 bucks GO FOR IT. WORTH FOR THE MONEY
well i am a male and have no use of this product, but i bought for my mother and as the details mentioned in the specifications it stands to that. useful and sleek product. easy to carry as size is satisfactory and runs pretty well. if you are planning to buy this product for rough usage then go for it..
as few people have mentioned about the packaging then i would like to make a note on that i have ordered more than 20-25 items in last 6-8 months and have not received yet any loose packaging yet. have always been covered completely to keep the product safe. i am not saying that others are lying but it would have been a mistake in the logistics center where they process the product and send for the transit so i would request buyers instead of writing in reviews call flipkart and file you compliant that will be more help full.
This was a freebie assoiciated with my laptop , which has been delivered but my laptop has not been delivered. The CR doesnot even know the status & I have atleast 5 mails from them in past week assuring me of the delivery in next 48 hrs. So many commitment has failed , Flipkart runs its service in such disgraceful manner. CR are not afraid of escalation as we customers can never reach there higher ups. I tried to cancel the order today & the option is not available on current page ( transit from past 7 days) , there CR is provoking me mentioning if you cancel it may take 12 buisness days for reimbursments . Should we deal with these people with such disgusting attitude. Simple pincode change is not been able to handle by these inefficient people, now with all these i am afraid I can not cancel my order & I may get rip off. Learnt a valuable lesson for never dealing with online shoppers. Guys even if we pay couple of thousand extra we will be in control if we buy in the shop. Flipkart is filled with people mentioning useless service. The managements not able to reach the customer is a proof they dont honour custome commitments. I dont know how long I have to wait, because just now when I call flipkart that CR mentioned me to wait another 72 hours , aftermath it will be sat & sun & again another week. God only should help me. Such a disgraceful attitude.
Was looking for a hair dryer since quite a time... was surfing through the net looking for a basic hair dryer within a normal price range...and came across this product...and finally happened to look for it on flipkart...and the price too was a bit lower than other sites...
The dryer works fine... its got 2 heat settings... and a narrow concentrator... now dont have to take the trouble of gng to the parlour for setting my hair every time...and the best part i love about flipkart is its fast delivery!
I would surely suggest this product if u looking for a good hair dryer within this price range and from a trusted company....
A decent product for the price you pay. It has 2 speed/heat settings. It's noisy to use and you get the smell of burning wire, but discount those, the product is a great one. In the end, it does what it is supposed to do and does it well. 1 star off for the noise(Am a peace lover unfortunately, hate noises) and am giving it 4 stars.
Flipkart's delivery was great as usual, sadly though, the packaging quality, though better than any other online shopping sites, fell short of Flipkart's usual standards. Still, no complaints there. Recommended product for travelers and those with a budget.
I bought it in Sept 2013, it is working quite smooth. Flipkart packing was excellent and delivery was prompt.
A good one at affordable price. May work for starters like me.
It gets off quickly due to over heat if used on second level.
Flipkart cancelled my order sayin the product is not available.But the same is still available st higher cost with extra shippi...
