I have a few suggestions for Bruce:

First of all, the use of the word Nazi is offensive, but as I read you post, not surprising coming from someone of your demeanor. 

These “guards”, as you call them answer to someone other than you.  They have rules to follow from the people who employ them.  Your rude and insensitive name calling is uncalled for.  They are not county employees.  They work for a sub and are underpaid, in my opinion, work long hours, have no benefits and not many holiday, although some were added this year.

The gentlemen who assist me every week are friendly, helpful and knowledgable.  I go to the Cole Park recycle center at least once a week and I support all the guys who work there.

I really think you need to reassess your opinion of people who don’t live up to your standard, whatever that is.  Should these folks be college educated? Would that suit your needs? 

Bruce, you’re just plain rude and demeaning and my main suggestion would be to meditate on being a nicer person.  I did.

Don’t pet the sweaty stuff,

Meg

I wrote yesterday about WHAT I THOUGHT was a lie that I was told by Chapel Hill Tire. I WAS WRONG!
 
The owner of Chapel Hill Tire, Mark Pons, called me today and asked me to come in to check my car again and discuss the problem. When they put my car up on the lift, they actually showed me the 2 problems so I could see them. This was a real eyeopener for someone who knows virtually nothing about cars.
 
From the time I moved here, I had been hearing unfavorable reports about Chapel Hill Tire and went there with a preconcieved notion that they still had problems with their business. What I learned today, is that Mark and his entire company have been working very hard to change the stories that come from Chapel Hill Tire. They were not happy that Chapel Hill Tire had some difficulties with unfavorable rumors and they DO CARE about any questions or problems you have. I am really impressed with Mark’s attitude regarding his customers, community and his family.
 
I am sorry that I made the comments I did without giving Chapel Hill Tire the opportunity to answer my questions FIRST! I know some of you have emailed me to tell me your stories and it is my hope that you will give Chapel Hill Tire a new opportunity to impress you. They SURE DID impress me!!!!

We’ve had AT&T /BellSouth at our home since we moved here in August.  While the first 2 bills were understandably wacky because of new installation, prorated charges, etc, they have been wrong since October.  I pay for unlimited long distance, yet every month, I get charged for long distance calls.  So, I spend 30 minutes on the phone with them to correct the problem.  They always credit the account, but have not done anything more, saying only that it’s a “known issue” and they’re working on it.  It takes them 4 months to fix this???  Not to mention that it’s not like they are calling me to notify me that they’re overcharging me….
So, is anyone else having this problem with AT&T/BellSouth?  Check your bills if you’re not sure.

More importantly, what other landline options are there?  We’re out off of Jones Ferry Rd., between Lamont Norwood & River Rd.

Thanks, Sarah

I have worked at a Chiropractors office and yes BCBS does cover Chiropractic services if he or she is in network. They have to be credentialed through BCBS.

Every insurance even Medicare covers Chiropractic to some degree if they participate with the company. Dr Hecht and Dr. Taylor in Chapel Hill take BCBS/State. They are in Timberlyne Place.
