Why does every frackin radio station have to play the same 20 songs all damn day? lately I've been listening to a couple of stations that have been playing only Christmas music, 105.7 and 106.1. I kinda enjoy it this time of year, but they have been playing the same 20 or 25 songs all day long since before Thanksgiving. What!? Are ya too damn cheap to buy anymore records, or CD's or whatever it is you play these days?
I listened to Casey Casesum ( hope that's the right spelling) today play the top 40 Christmas songs of all time and finally heard things I've not heard all month.
It doesn't seem to matter what music format you listen to, pick any station and you will hear the same damn 20 or so songs day after day forever. Are these stations so damn broke they can't afford any new music?
HANK.

I do tend to hear the same songs every day on the station I listen to at work. But at least I only hear them once a day. Most stations play the same songs every couple hours or so, which really gets annoying.

Computers: Probably the most useless piece of shit ever invented! Just spent 20 minutes trying to find information about the Cleveland Autorama coming March 15 to 17. And all I got for my troubles was run around in a circle with no real useful information forthcoming. What a frackin waste of time.
It ranks right up there with automated "customer service." If you want A, press 1. if you want B, press 2. etc, etc. Of course NONE of them are what you are looking for. Apparently the damn company is run by robots with NO humans present. Another damn waste of time.
HANK.

What I am looking for Trevor is who (if anyone) is handling the advance sale tickets. For many years past you could get them at any Federated Auto Parts store.Then last year you could get them at O'Rielly's Auto Parts. But they don't seem to have anything to do with it this year. Maybe it is just too early, and they haven't figured out WHO is going to handle it just yet. At least I could find nothing on the website. I know the when and where. March 15 to 17, at the IX Center. I just like to get the advance tickets as ya can save a few bucks. HANK.

I see. I think part of the problem might be that there is new ownership of the Autorama. At least from the headlines I saw in some of the links that came up. Guess it has been combined with the I-X Piston Power Show.
All I found for tickets so far is box office and online. Nothing about anyone else carrying advanced tickets. You could try emailing them and find out if anyone at all is going to do it.
Honestly, I don't understand why some events don't broadcast that info better. I know the faire sucks at it anymore. Years ago, they listed all the places you could get tickets. But not anymore.

Interesting about the new ownership. I did not know about that. The piston power show used to be a separate show held in the Fall I believe, and now it would appear they have combined the two. Rather then Email anyone, which can be another total waste of time waiting for a reply from some of these places, I'll just call my buddy Ron Heitman who has been in charge of putting on the show for the last 40 years or so. If anyone has a clue what is going on it will be Ronny. Thanks for taking the time to check on this. HANK.

TV station channel 19: you're trying to watch a program and every 5 minutes BEEP ,BEEP, BEEP over the dialog as they scroll across the screen a message that it is snowing out. NO SHIT SHERLOCK!! Like we couldn't tell that by looking out the window? This IS NOT Earth shattering news that I need to be updated on every five minutes.

WINTER!!! That is what is pissing me off the most. The cold, the snow and everything that goes along with it. Like idiots who drive with no lights on, and they're in a WHITE car for crying out load! Hey moron, do you know what the word invisible means? They are just asking to get hit, and I hope it is by something big, like a plow truck. One less moron in the world.
HANK.

Why can't the manufactures of small engines, like lawn mower and leaf blowers, stamp the oil capacity somewhere on the engine like they do with the serial number? If you should be lucky enough to have the manual, they tell you WHAT to use, like 10w-30. and they are adamant About warning you to DO NOT OVERFILL else the world will end, your dog will die, and your mother-in-law will move in with her 47 cats, but they don't tell you how much to put in. So, you fill a little at a time till you are at ADD on the dipstick, then you put in a smidgen more and now you're an inch and a half OVER the full mark. As you might guess I'm going thru this with the leaf blower. I've been adding oil 2 ounces at a time and checking it. So far after adding a quart I'm still not showing anything on the dipstick. Once I get it full I will mark the amount on the engine. But it would be nice if the maker could give you a clue. HANK.

Every damn Cleveland TV station. From 9:00 AM till God only knows when it will stop, all they do is babble about Ariel Castro. They have about 15 seconds of ACTUAL news to tell you about but they seem to think they have to tell it to you in a zillion different ways. Like NOTHING else news Worthy has happened today. He's guilty, lock his dumb ass up and be done with it. I don't need to hear about it for nine straight hours.
Thank God for cable channels. Watching SG-1 right now.
HANK. .

They do that with everything.
It's just like when they interupt shows with breaking news. "Wow! It's gonna snow in NE Ohio in January! How shocking! We will keep you updated every 5 minutes with the snowfall total, how much more we expect, and the history of the man that invented the snow plow."
Give me a break.
