Purina Carvers Roasted Chicken Slices

Apr

25

I saw this dog treat selling for $9.99 at http://www.dealgenius.com/ . I buy chicken jerky for my dog so I was interested in this ... But when you read the label, it says "Over 80% Real Chicken."

What is the other 20%???

I did not buy it.

I do not recommend Genki Sushi, Factoria

Apr

24

I went to Genki Sushi, Factoria. I really like Genki on Queen Anne and Broadway. But I was really disappointed at the food at Factoria. The neta (sashimi on top of sushi rice) is very small and rice are machine made with no human touch. There are rice and other junk on the floor under the table. I am sorry, I will not go there even if every plate is $1. It was not $1 yesterday. Don't waste your money going Genki in Factoria. I just hope other Genki became like Factoria.

I used 99designs.com

Apr

24

I spent $300 to design a logo for a new service at http://99designs.com . I was not sure how it works, but after two week contest and 65 entries, we chose the design we like and the experience was great. For just $300, it turned out to be cheaper than using our creative team for such a small project.

But remember, this is just a design. No explanation of what the design is about or thinking behind it. Fo that you need to hire a professional designer to let him learn about what you are trying to accomplish. But for $300, I think it is good enough for a logo project.

I know the name (screen name) of the person but I have no idea who this is. I thank everybody for submitting the design.

Gas Prices

Apr

24

I filled up my car this morning and it cost me $64. I am not driving a gas guzzler. I am driving an Acoord. The gallon of regular at Safeway is now $3.93. What is with that? Someone is making lots of money. We need to move to something alternate. But out of $3.93, how much of that are taxes?
