$35 "EZ Seed" by Scott-MiracleGro ,,, is NOT !! You water,per directions, every morning and evening for DAYS ,,, and WEEKS !!, and the grass seed does not quickly 'root and shoot', like it was non-vital,,,

Where is the rooting compound additive to get this darn EXPENSIVE grass seed to germinate faster and root and shoot !??

i recommend you do not buy this product until Scott actually makes it "easy" , dammit !!  

i bought 5 bins and can get a refund for all ,,, but Costco does not do online account summaries, i guess,,, darned careless corporations,,,

The WWW/ "web" is sooo SLOW on Sundays after 10pm PCT every damn day,,, even Gmail-Google is So Slow on Sundays !!

Is this a good-enough business model with the Web being so very slow after say 10pm PCT and on Sundays !?


i don't think so!!

August 2011, What happened recently in California ,,, is replaying Nation-wide, and the Major Lesson is ONE PARTY RULE

We elected a promising new Governor, Jerry Brown, instead of 2 scary Republicans, HPs Carly Fiorina and eBay's Meg Whitman.  But we still elected Republican State Senators and State Representatives; Thus we are still in GRIDLOCK.  The lesson is : we should only have one party in the 3 state branches of Governor, Senate and House.


Same goes for the Nation in the next election, 2012.  Most sane people can remember how bad it was when the Republicans had the White House AND Congress.  Look how bad it is now ,,, with the Republicans barely controlling the House, but not the Senate or Presidency.  Do we really want to go backward,,, again?


Yes, most everything is a mess, from the environment to job creation.  Even tiny things like a free phone time tick(gone) and the ability to bring your loose change to a bank for paper bills(gone) and the most teacher's hate national education system called "no child left behind"(still a total failure,,,and still hurting us).  And i am very disappointed in Mr. Obama as a leader. 


But if we "piss in the wind" and elect a Republican President and a Republican Congress, we the entire USA will be in so much deeper trouble.   It is not that we are rewarding Obama with a second term, it is that we have to "make things better for all of us" and that means not voting for any Republicans, only Democrats in 2012 , for the next 4 years.


Yes, i wish we had elected Mrs. Clinton,,, but we can't replay.  There is no third party , responsible candidate, yet, so we are stuck with Obama.

Aug.2011, What the US Media is not saying ,,, Is that women , in private, are SAVAGELY RIPPING CRITICIZING and LAUGHING AT the Republican Female Presidential Candidates, whatsherface and whatsherface2

Women, guys if you have noticed much at all being in their company, are super-hard on other women.  Cheap shots, bellow the belts shots, hair and makeup digs, the works !!   And Mrs. Palin and the other one,,, uhhh, whatsherface#2, that other ignoramus!!, are being savaged by MANY women's remarks, right now.


Too bad the American media is not paying attention,,,

August 2011, We are living in the Great Recession, yet there is no law that "California jobs go to Californians first" and "USA jobs go to Americans first" ,,,

How much pandering and political corruption do American corporations really need to succeed?


Other advanced countries are much tougher on corporations and,for instance, don't give huge corps like IBM tax breaks/fee breaks to stay around San Jose.  You might think these huge , super-profitable  American corporations that are sitting on $Billions and $Trillions instead of hiring over 9% unemployed Americans would be ashamed of their conduct. Nope.


You might think the Senators and Representatives in Congress who do the Corporations bidding, instead of "for the good of the people", might be ashamed especially of their recent very irresponsible conduct.  HP laid off 30,000 employees,,, and then after buying more corporate jets,  Republican Ms. C. Fiorina tried to win/buy the California governorship, like Republican eBay's Meg Whitman.  Americans really need to remember the recent California history of recalling our Republican Governor,'fired' Grey Davis, who lied about deregulating home power and the price would go down,,, and the budget being 100days late and costing us broke Californians(see "enron" dvd movie) $56M/day , each of those 100 days recently.  That is just a taste of how far the Republicans are willing to ruin these United States.  Is irresponsible, delayed and backlogged Congress ashamed?
Nope.


You might think the President, Mr. Obama, who ran a campaign with all the fine talk of ,,, ending the wars,,, ending the other parties tax cuts for the rich ,,, getting USa back to work with major public works projects ,,, single payer and even just the small concession of a public option to a much needed revision of the nations health care ,,, to Leading us out of decades of Republican fiscal and truthtalk failure ,,, and who used the words "hope" and " change" to get us to vote for the first black President in the history of the Nation ,,, might be a little ashamed at how poorly he has done, so far, in being the Leader of this American Nation.


Imagine you are in the shoes of someone in college now, and how hopeless everything seems.  The Republicans want to or will let their radical fringe , the Tea Party, seriously damage financially and politically and our reputation around the world, the AAA rating of the USA.   Are we all really going to elect a Repubican "pretty face", shallow as that is, and go backward to the days of unhappiness with Reagan and Bush 1+2 ?   Is the Democratic Party so weak, they are counting on the unlikeness of a viable third party , to keep them in power ??


Yikes,,,

President Obama's approval rating ,within his own party electorate, is falling. If he can't or won't lead based on his campaign slogan and retoric , then maybe we should have voted instead for Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi, fighters. The Democratic Party has a HUGE problem, now and come 2012 !!

The Democrats have the Presidency and the Senate, but it is like they are the minority party in federal government, not acting like the majority party AT ALL.


The Progressive, social liberal and fiscally responsible wing of the Democrats has to give us an honest option in 2012 election, like Ralph Nader.  Has to !!  We can not dither along being un-led another 4 years as a Nation.


Some , not i, but some protested President Obama's failure to end the wars, balance the budget with an end to the Bush tax cuts for the comfortably rich and wasteful spending cuts ,,, by voting Republican. Boy did that BACKFIRE on the Nation !!  With a 2 party system, and no 'vote of no confidence' like in England, what are voters to do every 2 years between presidential elections?


You would think a smart well-educated guy like President Obama would get the point of low poll ratings among Americans to "change" his weak, passive, and too Conservative governing style ,,,

Comcast's tv schedule was WRONG, again, today, 2 August ,,, when it said Rachel Ray would have Cheryl Crow as a guest ,,, and instead had Eva Longoria

This happens too often with Comcast cable tv service,,,

Here are some more recent examples:
1 May,,,on screen program guide, why 2?, said "Kentucky Rifle", but was BALLET ,,, instead.


On channel 7, on screen program guide said "Brothers and Sisters" , but instead was "Desperate Housewives".


And "Poach Salmon with Giada" ,,, was not.


So , if you are considering Comcast, be forewarned:
The volume on the highest on both the tv and the cable at '50' is not loud enough to hear in the next room.


Also, the HD channels are hidden way back in the 700s.
So lets say you want to watch channel 5 , digital is channel 5,,,But HD channel 5 is 705 !!, not right side by side.


Another recent problem with Comcast is ,,, If you take a payment in to one of their stores and hand it in,,, it is often not credited to your account THAT DAY.   Boy, that seems fishy,,, And you are not given a receipt of payment FOR AND ON THAT DAY !!
