You will never get a like from them. They will never read one of your reviews; who has time with 5000 friends? I am an old-school guy. I like your reviews, and I will take the time to read them and comment on them. Another thing I do is cull out "friends" who haven't posted in a year. Three people don't post anymore. I keep them because they have passed away. Out of respect for our past friendship, I will never delete them. I turn down friend requests almost weekly. I am 77 years old, and a smoking-hot woman with no reviews does not want my friendship. I will also look at friend requests, and if you have more one-star reviews than 5-star reviews, you will not make my friends list. Thus, there are only 287 friends; I don't need to collect friends to stroke my ego. I want friends who will laugh and interact with me.

Do Not sign up for anything on yelp.com that requires a credit card. They take your faith in accepted good business practice and destroy it. a. They call several times a day to try to sell you overpriced ad space. "Stop Calling!" Do they? No. They continue to harrass. b. They will charge your payment method without permission. I had over $1200 in unauthorized charges from yelp. c. really massively underutilized business. It's annoying and stupid.

Yeah, I don't know either…read more I generally have a hard time giving these market-research companies four stars, and I almost never give them five stars, but sometimes easy money is easy money. I showed up for what I thought would be an hour-long endeavor that would require a swimming-cap thing to be fitted to my head and weird oily stuff put in my hair--seriously, I've had experiences like this in the past--but it was basically twelve minutes and I was out, with $30 in hand. No weird caps, no annoyingly repetitive questions. I followed some instructions, was helped by one of the most efficient market-research-company employees I've ever met, and was done. I'd do it again. And again. And again and again. It's also kind of fun walking around this area at rush hour, signing in with security downstairs, and using really clean bathrooms. I know; I need to get out more. Or get a life. Or both.

These are international thieves working out of Dubai, UAE and Lithuania. There is no US phone #,…read moreonly a Deleware address so they can operate in the US., an email address. Returns are paid by customer - to Dubai- international shipping fees to the Middle East. They steal your info even if you delete it and complete an order. Charge for 2, 3 or more items. Conformation page says its processed and shipped at the same time it's ordered. Automatically set up so you can't cancel, only return. Which means you will never get your $$ back. Very slick, professional ads, use pain relief as the bait. They look very legitimate dont they? The more $$$ crooks spend on ads means they are making millions cheating Americans. They add Dollar Store items while you try to check out. Page after page of cheep rip offs not worth a buck. Beg for business and badger you into purchasing more. Higher and higher discounts. Legitimate companies do not use any of these tactics. If you've been cheated, if you actually placed an order- report to the BBB, consumer agencies, Federal trade commission, all social media. The glowing reviews are faked. Bought. The ads are designed to make you buy because you're in pain. Will buy anything to stop the pain. Emotional hook. They are using hope to steal your money. Targeting desperate people. The merchandise- flash for cash. Looks legitimate but it will fall apart because it's poorly made with cheep materials. The devise isnt safe. If a baby chews it or a pet - could cause severe harm. The heating unit- no protetective covering between it and your skin. High heat. It doesn't "massage". Only loudly vibrates. Don't get it wet. Expected lifespan -apx 6 mns. Every part of every version of their ads are fake. Amazon and other platforms don't vet sellers ,do not care their customers are being ripped off. What ever site you see them on, do NOT use, believe no claim. Research and report.

But recently, KDFC hired Maggie Clennon Reberg as an on-air host and I find myself turning to other stations when she is on the air. I find her voice grating and annoying and her commentary silly. I am a former classical music radio host, so I know from what I speak. I have often contributed to KDFC in the past, but if I contribute again, it will not be with the kind of unbridled generosity I have in the past. Of course, all this could change if only Ms. Reberg disappears.

Before I approached, I expected to get chewed out or at least glared at. I've been here twice now with no issues. On my first visit, I got a guy who was really friendly and helpful. He got me my ticket, and even told me which direction to go to and which port I should look for, without me having to ask. The second time, I got a guy who seemed to be in training with the first guy guiding him. The trainee was able to get the job done without a problem. I usually don't give places like this a review, but I felt the need to write up a good one, so others won't be afraid to come here like I had been and give them a shot.

The clerk that was assisting customers was extemely rude and condesending. When we asked a question about transfering a remaining balance from one card to another, he said to contact customer service. Well...isn't that what he was supposed to be? There was another customer behind us that he started helping and when she asked a question, he was equally rude and condesending. I was really surprised a shop that caters to visitors as a tour infomation center would have someone working for them with such poor customer service. I thought that maybe the person was just having a bad day, but after seeing other feedback here, I think this is just the way this shop operates regularly.

What a great addition to the Bay Area radio landscape! For the longest time, Northern California…read morehas suffered from a lack of variety on the airwaves, and this new station has come to save the day. Playing a blend of throwback hip hop and R&B mixed in with popular hits from today, Q102 is a refreshing break from the same old, same old from the likes of KMEL, Wild 94.9, Movin' 99.7, etc. Now, I am certainly not one of those old curmudgeons who vehemently blasts the (lack of) quality of music today, but you must admit, a lot of the stuff out now is absolutely abhorrent (that Tuesday song has got to be the most horrible sound to pierce my eardrums since that one terrible MIA song from Slumdog Millionaire with the random gunshots). To spare my sanity, I've been frequently using the Tune In Radio app to stream the finest old school hip hop station in the nation, 93.5 KDAY in LA (http://www.yelp.com/biz/93-5-kday-los-angeles?hrid=b68FRyTzDPGxl5Lb1ILddA), but Q102 just might start inching up towards the top of my list. When the likes of LL Cool J - Around the Way Girl, Public Enemy - Can't Truss It, EPMD - You Gots to Chill, Da Brat - Funkdafied, Bone Thugs 'n Harmony - First of the Month, Tevin Campbell - I'm Ready, and Hi-Five - I Like the Way all come blaring through your Alpine deck... back to back to back, you KNOW it's time to keep that dial on lock. However, the reason why I can't give a full five stars is that indeed, in order to pay the bills, Q102 has to throw in the occasional Iggy, Drake, Big Sean, and whatever else is the flavor of the week nowadays. It's a small price to pay for the opportunity to be graced with the classic hits I haven't heard since high school. With how cutthroat the radio industry can be, who's to say how long Q102 will be able to survive, but I am glad that finally someone is willing to break free from the monotony. Just as I said in my review of KDAY, Q102 is the "ish!"

I know I know... 1 star; WHAT THE?!!…read more I have my reasons. The music played on the station is dope. I can't deny that. But, if you make promises to your listeners...keep them. I have reached out to the station, to customer service telephone line, and by email. BUT no response. I have yet to receive the tickets I won for the Lauryn Hill mountain winery concert. The concert is in 3 days. Tickets were supposed to be mailed to me a long time ago (when I won 2 months back) They won't have will call. So why get my hopes up? Why play with my emotions? Obviously I held up my end of the deal. I called and called. Got through to the station. Won. Gave the PR my address and name. I have tried to reach out. Now it's come to this. I had high hopes.

I have been a faithful reader of Chinese Singtao Daily for long time especially the Saturdays and…read moreSundays. I myself and my family including children have been enjoying it. Unfortunately recently , I've noticed and hope it is not a beginning trend that this newspaper starts using "porn" like female pictures in its magazine and Sunday's articles. In its 06/12-06/18 Singtao Times Weekly, there is a featured story about homosexuals (in Taiwan only??): lesbians seek ways to get pregnant and gay men are forced into "fake" marriages because they want to become parents. But they use a picture showing "topless" pretty women only (men are well dressed) to depict homosexuals. Is "topless women" the only way to convey to readers what homosexuals are?? In addition, in its 6/13/2010 Sunday health article about hip in general, it featured a "bottomless" curvy woman (no men). Again, this "bottomless" curvy woman picture (with no pant ) is unnecessary. I don't think the picture sends a correct message to readers. It is somewhat degrading the women especially the beautiful ones with good physique. I certainly don't want my children thinking their parents reading "porn" newspaper. I'd upgrade the rating of this newspaper higher if they stop using "porn" like figures in its magazine or articles.
