The “Country Folk Art & Craft Show,” at the Indiana State Fairgrounds last weekend, was a huge success and tremendously enjoyable, I bet. This unique event featured thousands of the finest creative-yet-affordable creations from the nation’s best artisan-crafters, according to the website, but unfortunately that same website (I’m looking right at [...]

“Mm-hmm. I don’t know what it is; I just woke up and ‘boom’: major apathy attack.”
“Must be terrible.”
“Yeah, you know how it [...]

But it worked! I filled out the forms, photocopied the UPCs, waited the six months, mailed in the envelopes and, lo and behold, nine full months after buying the phone, I got my money back.
