    Dave McCarty,, 1b for 2004 Red Sox passes away.

    I'm too sad to be coherent so I'll just paste something I wrote 20 years ago: Dave and I had a rocky start. He sort of fooled everyone by hitting like Manny Ramirez in spring training. He made the roster to be a bench player, but our insane amount of injuries pushed him into a more regular role...

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    No, LG had a list of people they gave me. Everyone on the list either said no, didn't reply, or was an hour away and I had to take my TV to them. The credit card company ultimately said I could get it fixed anywhere, and they gave me someone in Belmont and another in Dorchester. I called the...

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    Update! I called my credit card company's benefit services and they said oh, sorry, we didn't mean to imply that you needed to use an LG-certified repair person. I had been about to load this thing in my car and drive it an hour to Bellingham. Instead they gave me the number of a guy in...

    Recommend me a 55-65 inch TV

    Apart from how that's not really practical for me (he works like 1pm-5pm four days a week, and is far away, and I'd probably break the TV trying to get it there, etc.), he's not actually on LG's list. He was just recommended by the one other guy to take my phone call. I wrote to a guy in...
