I’d look for an alternative, but I’ve come to believe than most open-source alternatives are somewhere between worse and mediocre.
And frankly, if it’s not good enough to document properly, it’s not good enough to be installed. P-fncking-eriod.
Yeah, the new GMail “Inbox Categories” has pretty well fscked Android notifications. I only get notifications for items that go into the “Primary” folder and I can’t seem to find any way to get notifications for anything else.
No you can’t. The idea is those are the low level emails you get but don’t need to reply to right away. Myself, I’m torn on the categories. I do wish they were better. Luckily I filter all my mail so I can set it to put an email in both Primary (and get notified) and something else just to keep it straight.
I do have grumblings about the replies with the GMail app. It does seem like it’s a chore to find the most recent reply.
Dear $Telemarketer
So you’re phoning from HP and want to sell us some printerer consumerables? I got news for ya, you can speak to the talking clock.
- I am not interested.
- It is not my job to listen to people prattling on and on regarding their products etc.
- If we want to purchase supplies, we will contact you. Not the other way round.
Enjoy the talking clock!
Look, I’m not telling you how to run your business. It’s yours, you know it better than I do, yada yada yada.
But shouting out every single, simple, day-to-day business decision, in a small store?
You’re driving customers away, dude. I’m still shaking from the anxiety attack when you yelled “Are these selling at all?” right behind me.
I want an ice-age NOW. 30C/86F and we are way above the Arctic circle, and close to the sea.
Sounds like time to start planting orange trees.

Dear Disney,
As a parent, I just wanted to say something I feel from the bottom of my heart. F#$@ you for Frozen! Not only is the plot terrible, the music irritating (especially when played ad nauseum, just how my kids love it), but you gave us not one, but two princesses this time. Clearly a marketing strategy is at play here. Do you stock your store appropriate as you have with any other movie in the past? No. Unlike Brave, where you had shelves upon shelves of dolls, toys, and other merchandise, you’ve opted to go with a single shelf of worthless crap. Why yes, I definitely wasn’t looking for a $50 kid’s sweat jacket. Oh, but that notebook and ruler set! Please, that is exactly what my kid desires! Or perhaps a plastic plate! Do you have the plastic dolls? Y’know, the stuff that kids generally look to get? No? Not sold anywhere in your store? Hmm, that’s strange. Oh, you still have Merida? Yeah, moving on. Thanks for making parenthood all that much harder.
I love my kids, and I can’t change what they like. And, while difficult to obtain what they desire (this, for LilFive7’s birthday), I’m not going to wimp out cause the store that should have this stuff didn’t. So, 6 stores later, we finally found it at an R’US store. Apparently, one of the dolls comes at a great introductory price of $16, which I was happy with. Unfortunately, in order to obtain the other half (Perhaps I should say screw you to Matel while I’m at it), I’ve gotta shell out $35 for the other princess, because she’s special, or something. They don’t make a $16 version of that princess (or at the very least, they don’t sell it here). And what kind of inhumane father would I be if I only gave one princess from the movie where there were clearly two. I can hear it now, “C’mon Dad, didn’t you see the movie!? There were two princesses!” So, I shelled out the cash to be the “good parent”. Unfortunately, I’m left with the feeling that I’ve been swindled and I should prevent my kids from seeing any further Disney Princess movies as they might get the genius idea to have a 3 or 4 princess movie.
I kind of liked the movie actually. And I can break a string of “Let it goes” with Gangam Style, or Fancy, or “Everything is Awesome”.
Now, not offering the two girls in the same price range is rough. I hope they are at least both the same quality. But, you could have gotten around it by pointing out that at the end there is only one princess and given her a snow cone named Olaf. 
PFive7, you are really making me appreciate my recent vasectomy. A few more weeks and my DNA will have effectively died out.
My girlfriend’s niece loves Frozen so we watched the movie to see what all the hype was about. I thought it was cute, but definitely not Disney’s best effort.
I liked the movie (the first couple times anyway), the soundtrack can be burninated.
As for the merchandising, I’m convinced that the 2-princess storyline was just a plot to create stupid demand for scarce product. They put out a crapload of the Anna dolls, and were very stingy with the Elsa dolls. And every little girl needs the pair, because Anna needs her sister, dammit!

Hah, build her a cardboard door for her to sing “Do you want to Build a Snowman” in front of.

I have 2 girls. Frozen is reenacted almost daily. Their room door is used for this scene, which is immediately after my youngest jumps on top of my oldest to “wake” her up.
Oh, that’s right, you people have to take extreme measures to NOT havening children.

I do not have a freaking chest cold in the middle of freaking July, steadily making its way up to my head.
I do not live in a city that is a freaking breeding ground for micro-climates, numbering in the thousands, and they are not constantly dancing around the city.
San Francisco: Wear a sweater and be prepared to sweat, or wear shorts and get frostbite. Sometimes both at the same time. Fuggid.
This morning I’m calling the doctor because I’ve got a fscking ear infection, and possibly sinus as well. I think I had one of either those in my adult life before getting married, and this is my second sinus infection in a year and second ear infection in as many.
I fondly remember my visit to the Bay. Went out to Alcatraz & froze my arse off. In August. While wearing jeans & a fleece.
What do you mean you people?

My new crown has stayed insensitive to cold…
Yesterday I couldn’t tell it was in as far as heat and cold sensitivity. Today, not so much, though at least it’s only the first sip that gets me, as soon as teh tooth cools down, or the nerve gets used to it it gets better, but that first hit is a doozy.
Dear %Grovery_store_manager;
Enjoy your time brushing up your resume. You really shouldn’t let customers you’ve royally pissed off have the URL for your store’s customer service survey.
And no, putting echinacea in tea does not automatically make it a non-food item. If that was true, most of aisle 4 would be non-food items (herbs and spices).
