It might be that they are made for Costco only. Either check with Cafe Kid or your local Costco.
If I recall correctly we paid around 2500 MXN, or about 180 USD.
@Green: in that case, can I borrow 50 USD? Thanks.
I didn't give 200 pesos to poor people, we borrowed 200 pesos to poor people who promised to pay it back. By just letting things go like this one will stop trusting people who actually will pay back.
The family is a bunch of crooks we learned later; their son had also harrassed a teenage girl. And shortly after this episode they finally got evicted. Ours was just one of the many complaints.
If I complain too much, maybe you complain too little and people are taking advantage of you, especially if you hand out 50 USD like candy.
Thanks Santiago, will do.
I had a 9volt battery explode sitting by itself in a cabinet. It made a loud pop and ejected one of the cells leaving a lot of degree.
@Queen90 - it is so hard to understand. Sometimes I don't even know why I feel messed up. Sometimes it takes days to pick myself up again. I watch my husband flutter around and wonder how he gets all his energy. I wish I could be like that. I am on meds too. They help a bit. But not for everything. I do know that excercise helps but its snowing non stop where we live and its hard when u are depressed to pick urself up and go out. Your patience is wonderful. He is a lucky man. I think u are great and if u love him thats great. Sometimes if he can get into something he likes it will help. I have noticed I want to stay in bed lots too and I am not sure if it helps or not but I think I am trying to just get away. I don't really sleep, just think a lot. I don't know why that is. I know if I force myself to excercise, walk or swim, it's hard to get there but after I feel good. Even just a night out with some friends. It always helps. He maybe just needs that but he has to do it. Its hard though, you are being very good with him. Look after yourself and don't be upset with him for being depressed...like my husband does...that only makes matters worse....sounds like u are doing everything u can do. But also don't get depressed yourself because of it. From what I understand it is not his (or my fault) that depression is there...it is genetic and situations can trigger it but nobody's fault. You sound like a real sweetheart though. Hope u take care and don't worry too much.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression for years now. It started with my parents being alcoholics and that was bad enough, then an abusive relationship and suddenly I am broken. I know I wasn't meant to be this way. Now 3 abusive relationships and 3 kids later I am more stuck than ever. I am 35. I am attractive I know that but My new husband cheats on me constantly. I feel like a piece of shit. I just wanted a good life and to be happy. I know what one writer was talking about just wanting to go to the forest and no interruptions. Just to be alone and feel peace again. I have always looked after people. I am a nurse, a mother, and a wife to a heartless, cruel and disrespectful man. 2 of my kids have special needs, I have a step-son and a baby. I work in psychiatric and I feel so unstable myself some days. I miss my old life. My old friends. I miss being young and thin, not trapped in this body, in this house...he goes away for months at a time and I have to do everything...I return to work in a couple of weeks from mat leave and I don't like my job. I miss feeling love and happiness. Its like it isn't around me anymore. My family are all far away and are alcoholics. I have no close friends here where we moved to. My husband stomps around and yells at the kids all day and says mean things to me when he is here. He always has other girlfriends he texts. I need him here for help but I hate being around him. He doesn't like the same music I like, he didn't even get me a birthday or Christmas or first anniversary gift this year. I feel like he hates me. I wish I had a way out. I feel trapped. I feel like there is nothing left inside of me anymore some days. It also seems like he doesn't get it. I just want to make sure my kids are ok and looked after. I feel like I can't do it anymore. The medication I am on doesn't really seem to help with my depression. My anxiety is better but I feel angrier on it? Its weird. I have put on so much weight and have no sex drive also which is not fun either. Not that my husband ever cared about that anyway. I just wish I could feel love from someone again. I know I have had that. I know my kids love me. I just feel so drained like I have nothing left to give anyone. I miss being happy. I miss feeling good. I miss being made love to. I miss having fun. My ex husband and his mother plot against me and she is abusive and cruel to me. He has nothing to do with the two kids he left me with and owes me 30 grand in child support. His mom blames me for everything and he is a crack head. She is codependant with him. I finally stopped talking to her after 4 years I couldn't take her abuse anymore and now she is taking me to court for something? I don't even know what. It's just more stress I don't need and it's not like I can afford to hire a lawyer. I know I am a good person inside and don't deserve this. I know I am kind and caring and loving. I know I forgive people even her too often. I just feel like I have never been good enough for anyone. If I had enough money I would take the kids with me, move somewhere else and start over fresh, meet new people and something...new job anything I don't know. I just feel like this is so crazy and I feel trapped and stuck. I am glad I can vent on here a bit. Its good to see that others can as well.
My alarm clock "back up" battery exploded last week. Hell of a way to wake up!!
Today I had a Duracell AAA copper top blowing up in my face. It was purchased at Costco and was used in a Christmas ornament along with 2 other batteries from the same company. The batteries needed replacing, so I had them on the table to take a voltage measurement with my digital multimeter and when I touched the one with the probes of the meter it blew with a pop and sprayed liquid in my eyes and face. I knew to go wash up right away. I am concerned about my grand kids Christmas toys with the same batteries. Is it just a Duracell problem? No more Duracell for me, thanks. Marcel
Thanks a lot for your brief but really clear explanation. It was really useful for me :-)
Great - two lines and I get a working DVD! Thanks.
Not only Duracell! Never (in 73 years) had a bad episode with batteries. Yesterday fitted 2 X AA Advanced ENERGIZER alkaline battries to a small light torch and switch that on. It worked but almost immediately started getting HOT. Extremmely HOT. You could not touch that battery as HOT as it was. I switch off, tested the batteries on my little DPB-168 battery tester and both show GOOD. Never realized that batteries can be that dangerous. Now I know and am aware of the dangers. Some things are bad in the WEB but other things are GOOD like this one. ThANKS TO GOOGLE.
My aa Durracell battery exploded, so I came here to tell you guys.
I had a Duracell 9V in my pocket just pop. Not really loud, but I felt it. One of the cells burst through the bottom, about halfway out. Googled, and here we are. Weird.
I was awakened by 2 rather loud bangs. Then all smoke detectors went off and would not stop. After running around the house and seeing that it was not burning down, Ishut off the breaker to the detectors. One would not stop. I opened it to find the Duracell 9v blew up. The bottom end blew out for no reason. Oh well, no more Duracell for my home!
Just happened to me last night. 9V Duracell in a smoke detector in our bedroom exploded loudly enough to wake both my wife and me up. Thought it might be the detector until I looked at the battery this morning.
Hey, thanks for your advice. You're an effing genius and a good citizen. This worked like a charm and now I can run around my wireless provider's internet block. I already pay them enough money as it is.
No one calls in the middle of the night. It is the only time I feel free and alive.
When developing between Windows and Linux/OSX a good SVN property to set on text-based files is "svn:eol-style" to "native" so that end of lines will automatically gain/strip the CR with the LF.
I have noticed over the last 6 months to 1 year my mood is worse. I have no patience the slightest thing pisses me off. I am always yelling at my kids, co-workers and just people in general. I don't know why. I am thinking maybe I need meds....I am a recovering alcoholic but have been sober for 3 yrs so I don't think that has anything to do with it. I just needed to vent thanks.
I was just watching TV and suddendly I heard a loud pop! found the bottom part of the 9volt batterie but without knowing yet what it was until I saw on my counter the Duracell batterie with 2 of the 6 cells inside torned!! I can't believe I putting those batteries in my kids toys!!
