  2. Hanging at local cellphone store: "WE UNDERSTAND THERE ARE ISSUES WITH OUR SERVICE WE ARE TRYING TO RESOLVE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
    This store was offering very cheap cellphone service and apparently many of their lines got shut down.
    Experts have been warning that some of these plans are to good to be true.

    3. This is a very big problem! I know someone who transferred his home phone to them and now he's afraid he'll lose his number. People should file an FCC complaint to make sure you don't lose your number.

    4. The service works excellent. People are waking up and realizing that they've been over paying for year's for the exact same service. This was posted by someone that wants to to rip people off on phone service so he's trying to scare people from switching.

  3. What happened to BMG's policy of not letting politicians in?

    1. Who ever said there was such a policy?

      Delete
    2. The policy was only without an invitation.

    3. Thats what they told the politicians of the last 20 years. To my knowledge, Aaron K never toured with any politician in BMG, this started after he left.

    1. Whether it has true impact or not is immaterial. Those sellers who act unscrupulous will use any excuse to raise the prices.

    2. All the arba minim landed in US over a month ago. Should have no effect pricing.
      Except Arizona lulavim (and I heard there are etrogim from Arizona and Mexico).
      Of course, Dominican people use etrogim all year long, and they will throw you out if you sell them a murkav, they can tell the difference right away (so can you). As if our etrogim really have a mesorah (even the CI etrogim mesorah only dates back to 1950s. And Yanover chazaka was broken during the war.

    3. Not all Arbah Minim got here a month ago. Some of the people who deal in very high end esrogim go the Eretz Yisroel in middle of Elul to check the pardasim themselves to find the best esrogim to sell. But I’m sure those chevra ship it by plane

  6. Important for people to know that eggs have gone down in price. Why only report when they go up?

    1. Eggs went up significantly.
      Then went down marginally.
      No big deal.
