I like this theme! Of course, I’ve always been visually been a “black and white” kinda girl.

Comment on I Hate Quietus by Mike

I ordered Quietus. It was kind of expensive, but had a 30-day “no risk” guarantee. When I first ordered, the lady told me I would see results within 2-10 days.

When I didn’t see results for 2 weeks, I tried returning it. The salesperson on duty told me to give it until the 30 days would be up, since I still had some time to give it a chance, so I did.

It remained ineffective, so I called today to try to return it. This time I get a guy who says it takes 30-60 days to work, and that the reason I’m not seeing results is because I’m giving up too soon.

He claimed that “no one ever returns this product” when they give it enough time. I answered, ” Well once the no-risk trial is up, why would they?”

It then turned into a high-pressure sales situation. “Well, I guess you’ve decided you don’t want to get rid of the ringing in your ears” and “Since you don’t want to give the product enough time to work, here are your options”…

Like you said, it’s an awful thing to deal with. Normally those types of pitches don’t work with me, but I REALLY would like a cure for this, and I’m thinking what if it DID help after two or three more weeks?

I am still considering letting the money go and trying to see if Quietus will actually work eventually, when I’m almost sure it won’t. I just don’t appreciate them using the whole ’scolding salesman’ technique with me, when i sought out their product because of what I consider a very serious and life-changing problem.

Stay positive. If it happens, you can immediately pull out the big guns like, “Honey, I saw that film with you and we are even. If you make me watch this, I may be forced to burn the house down. I’m just saying. Your choice.”

I’m trying, but the rumors of a Twilight tv show are making me lose hope.

Did you read Ace’s essay on it? It’s not as good as Stossel, but it takes a harder view, starting with the fact that it’s going to make many, many Americans criminals for acts that have never in the history of humans been remotely illegal. We are halfway through the looking glass, darkly.

Procrastination. There would be an app for that but they just haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Oh, and yes I can say that your iPhone has made you cooler time ten!! Of course Zero time ten is. . .well, you get the picture.

OK, I too was creeped out by this. But in her defense, when asked why she did this, her response was simple. “I was coloring her hair.” Granted her coloring within the lines needs a bit of work, but in that context, not so creepy. The real question you should be asking is why she felt the need to post it on the refrigerator. Probably just give you nightmares. That’s my girl!
