serge 904 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Buy the name brand from Tiger Direct. 1/4 the price of Best buy. The markup on accessories at the big box stores is goofy. I had a friend that worked there and cost on a 15 ft HDMI cable that they sold for 30 bucks was 4 dollars.I have had a lot of friends who have stuff from Tiger Direct..They are all happy..Looking to buy a small tv for the kids upstairs..Gonna go there this week.

I know there's a forum for it, but just for us hockey guys. What do ya think? Or is there one already? Or is there talk of TVs/movies in every thread these days? Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It appears that the ~7 hours between bars closing and liquor stores opening is the perfect amount of time, from a crowd control POV. Twice recently, I've wanted to keep drinking. By the time 9:30 am hit, I was too sober to want to walk out in the snow for more beer.Guess it's working, Ontario. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 LOl well Im not a huge drinker, but there is always a few beers in my fridge..Some vodka, scotch and few bottles of wine..Yeah, but if I'm 12 beer in (aka a night out), I have no control anymore. I just drink until I'm out of booze, basically. So it's a huge burden on the wallet, and on my body to do that.Learned this lesson a while ago.That's the only time I crave more liquor. When I'm sober, I don't "need" it to survive or anything. But once I get drunk, it's tough to stop drinking. Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 LOl well Im not a huge drinker, but there is always a few beers in my fridge..Some vodka, scotch and few bottles of wine..I probably have 5 cases of beer (good beer, cause I'm a beer snob) and enough liquor to get the entire hockey forum drunk right now. We had enough liquor on our own then we had a party in the fall and everyone bought us liquor. I got more for Christmas too. I want to have a liquor only party in the spring. I'm sure that will turn out well. Link to post Share on other sites

But once I get drunk, it's tough to stop drinking.This is exactly, exactly the same kind of drunk I am. I can go weeks without drinking (at home or going out) but if I have one drink I'm going to drink until the bars close and blow through $120 in the process. No self control for stopping, slowing down, or making good decisions. None whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Anyone know a site where I can find weather conditions from days past?Our snow removal guys showed up today with the receipts for me to sign dated 12/24 12/27 and 1/2. All for salting and plowing/shoveling. I refused to sign them because first off, how do I actually know they were here and did that? And secondly, was it even needed. We have about a quarter of an inch out there today and that is the most I have seen this winter so I am curious if there was actually any valid reason for them to be out those days but I can't seem to locate past weather reports for Detroit.
