I learned that if you give someone 1.95 for shipping you there get rich quick with google kit, (why did I even fall for that?) then they have free reign to remove 39.95 from your bank account. Then I learned that if you call them and tell them they are scamming people, they get really cooperative very quickly. In the end I got them to reverse the charges and never bug me again.

I learned that Norton 750 Amal carbs don't a have bona-fide slow jet.

They vibrate far worse than I remember.  And, a bike that looks good but has tons of problems is sill $3500 - $4000 out of my price range!

8009358570, its the ID that is next to the charge on your bank statement just insert the dashes 800-935-8570.

hehehe. that's what i was thinking.

there is no cheap way to make money. if there was, those guys wouldn't be sharing their good thing. i wonder if in the fine print, it was stated somewhere that there would be an extra charge of some sort. of course, when caught, they backpeddled...

i have learned that my bosses haven't lost any of their bonuses or anything else... at the same time they are acting like we can't pay the light bill if we don't give back some vacation days and take other hits. what asses.

How many people read the 4 page's of fine print in anything. Acctualy the thing I signed up for was a make a little extra by posting links. I agreed to pay 1.95 for shipping on a "information kit" that never came. They were a little to eager to give my money back when I called. I have half a mind to turn them in.

i learned today the difference between cognac and brandy. all cognac is brandy but not all brandy is cognac. it can only be called cognac when it is distilled in the cognac region of france.
