self-defense

When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.  If the laws where you live allow concealed carry, get a gun, get you're permit, and get trained to use your weapon if you need to.  FrontSight will train you not only how to use your weapon, but how to know when to use it and how to avoid situations where you might need to shoot.  I've taken the 4 day handgun course and plan to repeat it this spring.  The full price for the course is $2000, but I own 3 certificates that I got for under $100 each that I'm willing to sell.  Leave a comment if you're interested, or post The Cranky Yankee on facebook.

Maxacaiburn keeps on TAKING

It seems that hidden in the small print are trial memberships to 2 monthly subscription weight-loss support programs. I got charged by both because I didn't know to cancel them. Call BEFORE they pick your pocket.
888-332-2707 monthly charge $3.24

888-779-5303 monthly charge $7.14

Once the charge hits, it's NON-refundable.

Got my refund from Maxacaiburn

I called them the Monday after the Post Office confirmed delivery of my return. They checked the tracking code and issued me a refund authorization code. They said the money would take 5-10 days to arrive in my account--but I had it the next day. Case closed.

Called them this morning and gave them my post office tracking number. They see it's in transit, but won't refund my money until the post office confirms delivery. Next update when it arrives. The way they work, I can't recommend trying the product unless you are willing to pay for at least one month's supply. The "free trial" costs a lot more than $4.95 shipping and handling.

Getting ripped off makes me cranky

I tried the 14 day trial for $4.95 shipping and handling. When I called to cancel future shipments, I was told to return the unused portion (32 capsules out of 60). It had to be returned insured and with a tracking #. That cost me $3.94 at the post office. The company has since charged me $58.76 while my return is still on its way to them. This is the ONLY time I have ever tried a trial offer and been told to return the product. The recording on their cancellation toll-free # says to give your unused portion to a friend to try, but once you reach a service rep, they tell you to return the product or pay! So, a $4.95 14 day trial has now cost me $67.65 and I only used 28 capsules. They are closed for the weekend, so I'll have to wait until Monday to contact them. Will I get my money back? I'll let you know.

Alienation of Affections (of a Parrot?)

The Cranky Yankee went into the hospital for his breathing problems, and Mrs. Cranky got left home to care for his animals--2 dogs and Solomon the parrot. By the time he got home, Solomon had bonded with the Mrs. Solomon still tolerates Mr. Cranky, but every chance he gets, he heads for Mrs. Cranky, and he lets her rub his neck and pat his head--and he nips Mr. Cranky if he tries to touch.
