<title>Got the H1N1 vaccine last night.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23364315</link>
<description><![CDATA[In Brooklyn, CT they had a clinic last night for vaccinations.  I brough my daughter in to get the shot, and asked since I have asthma could I get one also?  They were able to do it free of charge. 

I know they are having another clinic next Tuesday.  Here is a link to their site.

<title>[House&#x26;amp;Home] I was looking for a fridge at my local Sears and ..</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23375496</link>
<description><![CDATA[It used to be easy, go to Sears, use your Sears card and pay whatever they asked.

Recently we visited our local sears to purchase a freezer (mission accomplished). At the end of the aisle was this great looking Samsung french door fridge.

Stupidly, I opened the door, I know I shouldn't have, but couldn't help myself. It was awesome. It's a french door fridge / bottom freezer. The interior size is 28 cu ft. Our current fridge has the same exterior dimensions but is 23 cu ft. Obviously things have changed over the past decade. Somehow Samsung figured a way to get an extra 5 cu ft in the same volume.

The sears folks were nice, and tried to push a sale. However I went home to take a look via google. The Sears model is a Samsung RFG297AARS, it is 28.5 cu ft.

The fridge in question is here - http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_04680063000P?keyword=RFG297AARS&sLevel=0

I searched after getting home, and found it here - http://www.homegoodz.com/i100644-samsung-appliance-rfg297aars.html

The Sears price is  $2459.99 the Homegoodz price is $2099.00 (with free shipping to the curb). Interior delivery is $164.99 from Sears it's $65.

Then things got worse, I noticed at Homegoodz an upgraded model the Samsung RFG299AARS which is a similar refrigerator but has an LCD screen instead of an LED screen. The LCD screen can display family pictures. Sears doesn't carry this, but Homegoodz does at - $2309.00. I shopped my local BestBuy (in Danbury) and it's here - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+28.5+Cu.+Ft.+French+Door+Refrigerator+with+Thru-the-Door+Ice+and+Water+-+Stainless-Steel/8971525.p?skuId=8971525&productCategoryId=abcat0901004&id=1217030495357 f for $2,609.99.

I'd prefer to buy local, and really like the LCD screen. Has anyone had luck with BestBuy price matching an online store that has free delivery?

As a side question, which is better for replacing 10 year old plastic refrigerator water tubing, stainless steel or copper? BestBuy offers either the stainless steel is here - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Smart+Choice+-+Stainless+Steel+Waterline+Installation+Kit/6682191.p?id=1083713275050 the copper is here - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Smart+Choice+-+20%26quot%3B+Icemaker+Installation+Kit/2631566.p?skuId=2631566&productCategoryId=abcat0916007&id=1051826150836

If Bestbuy would price match, I'd probably purchase locally. Does anyone think Bestbuy will price match? Which is better to replace old plastic tubing, stainless steel or copper for a refrigerator water line?

Finally, would Connecticut Goodwill or the Salvation Army be interested in my 10 year old functioning side by side fridge? It is getting long in the tooth, but still is fully functional and 23 cu ft.

<title>[RANT] UPS Delivers My Packages To Next Door Neighbor House</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23149196</link>
<description><![CDATA[Back and forth with Windsor locks UPS Hub OP Management. Over why one of their drivers can't seem to get it right? All my UPS packages goes next door to another house number. Both houses are not close together yet the drivers always drop it off next door on their rear porch step.

Today I was outside out back, but sure enough the UPS driver speeds off but before he does drops another package off at the next door address back porch deck.  Ran back inside to see if the tracking number has any info? 

Reported 4:04pm still in transit. It wasn't until 4:30pm did it say it was delivered at the Front Door at 4:04pm. What a lie! Was delivered next door again. Then again the neighbor has to send one of their sons to drop off my package to my rear porch deck.

To me this is really crazy on UPS part. FedEx delivers my packages okay even rings the bell so does USPS, but not UPS!

I had suggested that OP Manager if she has any power have someone shadow the driver to see why he can't find the house which is right next door to the house he or she is dropping my packages too! Then she had asked me what color was my house, but how can you go by colors and not numbers?

My name, address is right there on the packages. House number is right in front of the house!]]></description>

<title>[House&#x26;amp;Home] Demons as pets in Connecticut</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23363718</link>
<description><![CDATA[My son was trying to take a picture of our pet cats. Until this picture we assumed they were very affectionate Siamese kitties. Now it appears they are either possessed, demonic, or our Palm Pre needs a red eye reduction feature. I thought it was worth sharing. What do you think?

<title>[RANT] Walmart Pharmacy Nightmare</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23339681</link>
<description><![CDATA[I do the normal routine you go to the doctor they fill out your prescription paper and hand it to you. Take that to your local Pharmacy in my case I had chosen Walmart low price bla, bla. I would ask them if they had the items listed. They would say yes then and I would say how long they say 30 minutes and will call you. Never had problem at my local until the last two visits but this past Thursday it was like a nightmare!

Doctor office things are changing now prescription paper signed by the doctor is no longer handed out they're called in to the Pharmacy ahead so by the time you get there it should be ready? Well it was even there yet? I had to call up the doctor office to say what the heck going on where is my prescription to get filled?  

So another 30 minutes goes by. Then it gets to Walmart okay so the issue is that I was there over 2.3 hrs just to get it filled! Why did it take so long, Walmart Pharmacy story was they were short handed today! 

There was one guy who told me and shouted it out he was there since 10am! I didn't get there until 4pm and he didn't get his until 5pm. 

What gets me is if you getting something that is factory sealed like something you have to push through foil. What the heck is it going to take so long to process.  There answer it has to be counted.]]></description>

<title>Are there any cat shows in Connecticut in the near future?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23340836</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'd like to show my kids some of the variety of cats. It would be nice for them to be able to see the breeds they read about online. Is there any cat show in Connecticut in the near future? We are in the Danbury area. I would prefer a casual show that may include non-pure neutered pets as well. Outside a major city and with no admission fee (at least for the kids) would be a major plus.

Thanks

<title>[FOOD] Big Y</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23325275</link>
<description><![CDATA[Does anyone understand how the Big Y discount program works? When I first opened my Big Y card, I got $5 off my next purchase of $40 or $7 off my next purchase of $50 for many weeks. Then it stopped and didn't restart. 

Recently I opened another Big Y account at an imaginary address under an imaginary name. It got the same $5 off and $7 off. Then after a while that stopped.

Today, I switched back to the card in my own name (which I haven't used in over a month) and got $7 off my next purchase off $50 and $5 off a turkey or spiral ham. 

Is the Big Y plan just to incentivize you until you purchase weekly? I love the store, but am a bit confused by the checkout discount incentives.

Is Big Y a Connecticut company? I see them near me in Newtown, Bethel and New Milford.
