Just so you know.....I agree with you on the shady way the do conduct business, however one must understand that it is the personal representitive that proposes the offer not the company. I completely understand that I have to make a minimum order every month as it was explained thouroghly to me but can easily see how somebody can lie about it to get them signed up. Just like the car business....Everyone hates car salesman and when I sold cars I had to work so hard to earn my customers trust because some idiot prior to me lied or was a jerk to them. It should have no effect on the dealership or brand of vehicle BUT it definitely does. Of course I was not going to agree with you since I felt you personally attacked me for no reason...lol hense the "stubborn ass italian" Ha I even went back and read old post that I started and you chimed in on to see if you were always an ass! haha! Yes we will become better friends cause of this. I was a golden glove boxer in philly trust me I know exactly what you are talking about hitting each other on the arm harder.....lol we took it to the extreme and sit around now laughing about it! See how are arguement turned into a history lesson as well! Guys Virginia may have been the south....they may have originated the south!!! Its 2009.....Virginia is not the south anymore! I cant believe nobody here is from GA, SC, TN or AL getting fired up about this....lol! My good friend is from SC born and raised, southern draw (makes the best BBQ, collard greens, cornbread you ever had!) I sent him a text asking about Virginia...he laughed and said yea its the south in high school text books! Haha! Im just a dumb "yank" I dont know! I do know the Eagles are gonna stomp a man sized hole in the bucs ass next week!! Have a great weekend YA'LL

The GA 400 around Atlanta is bigger and more congested but the drivers are not as crazy! Just the area in general is so bad, I remember my best friend was stationed at Andrews and when he got married we all ventured off base for the night to do some partying.....lol that was a mistake!!!! Ghetto after Ghetto after Ghetto!!!! Im used to in being from Philly but it made Philly look like a playground....lol

The Beltway being the worst road is one more thing we can agree on. The cabdrivers all moaned and complained when I made them go out Glebe Road then I-66 to Dulles airport instead of taking the Beltway because of the a-hole drivers and traffic jams since it was ten minutes longer but $10 cheaper on the fare. I spent my early childhood in Philadelphia outside of the old Connie Mack Stadium near an ice-house (yes, I'm old- we loved the ice splinters from the ice blocks loaded onto the trucks for the home fridges in our dirt poor neighborhood). All the kids on the block used to offer to "watch your car" for a dime to the people who parked - or otherwise they might return and find them scratched and dented -a self-help economic version of bootstrap capitalism. 65 yr Old Frack Stage IV BOT T3N2M0 HPV 16+ 2007:72GY IMRT(40) 8 ERBITUX No PEG 2008:CANCER BACK Salvage Surgery 25GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Apaghia /G button 2012: CANCER BACK -left tonsilar fossa 40GY-CyberKnife(5) 3 Carboplatin Passed away 4-29-13

Can't imagine why you left Philadelphia for Alexandria, VA.
JK, although I didn't grow up here, I did go to Temple and I know why you left. I did see where Connie Mack was located one time.
You should come see Citizen's Bank Park next season. You're not that far away and I'll even buy our tickets.
