Digest for misc.consumers.frugal-living@googlegroups.com - 7 updates in 3 topics

Thinking of using review sites like Healthgrades to lookup doctor
reviews?
 
Think again. Healthgrades deletes negative reviews of doctors leaving
only the positive reviews.
 
I can only speculate this is due to bad doctors complaining or
threatening the chicken ass admins of this site into sending their bad
reviews to dev/nul
 
Example: try getting the full story on:
indiana-hernia-center on healthgrades and for their surgeon. You will
get only the positive reviews as healthgrads lists 9 reviews but shows
only the positive reviews deleting or making inaccessible the one star
negative reviews.
 
No surprise just another corrupt internet site. There are so many. What
happened to the net. It used to be good, now it's just a pack of lies.

I regard reviews as 98% worthless. Most people are too stupid to have
an opinion at all, and when they do it's WRONG. The doctor-review
sites frequently have old addresses; what else is outdated? Perhaps
his indictments...
 
I want House. I don't care how comfy his office chairs are.

I bought a $100 Shark from Amazon and am really happy with it. At first
I thought it had stopped sucking, but my son pointed out the
completely-packed inner dust-container...
 
I bought the cheap one without the extra attachments. I can use his if
I need to, but perhaps I should have opted for a version with them.

Thanks! I think I'm going to need it.
 
A friend said that she read somewhere that the trend is
heading back to freezer-on-top refrigerators, and maybe
if I can keep what I have running a bit longer the newer
top freezer models might start hitting the market in time
for me to avoid having a warm refrigerator.
 
I've tried Lowes, Home Depot, a sort-of-local appliance
store, and even a big Sears Outlet in the Big City to
no avail. All small models or the one I found that had
a large price but minimal storage features (including the
door shelves that weren't deep enough for a gallon of
milk or water).
 
So I'll keep my fingers crossed that Old Faithful (but noisy)
keeps chugging along until the trend catches up to my
needs.

ago and hated it
