  Alas, no SuperTarget anywhere near me.

  Nonono... a few posts up from here, not pages.
  
  How does tuna at 9 cents per tin strike you? Might be worth making the drive to a town with a SuperTarget.

  anyway, i'm trying to dumb down something.. it's so bloody technical, i can't manage to do it...
  
  if i do so, none of the meaning will remain... yet, people out there have a very very very unreasonably short attention span..

  *skeptic in me released* 9 cents? *scratches head* Close to expiration? (scratch this, just read MG's initial post) Fire sale?

  I got someone downstairs pretending to be a NEA officer.
  
  I am half tempted to call police and check on this guy trying to maybe scare us into taking on a garbarge disposal service or scare us into paying him off.

  Hmmm... I don't think so. Just took a quick look at a small sampling of the tins, and they had expiration dates past 2010. A number of the tins have minor dents in them, though.

  thing is, there are no illustrations in this...
  
  it's a law thing.. basically, it's common sense and i don't see the need for these things to be said..
  
  but the minority of the public is dumb.. and we have to pander to that minority which refuses to take personal responsibility for their own action and wear their idiocy and ignorance like a badge of pride...

  MG, guess what? I had Sears come out to check my a/c. Found out the heat pump is 12 years old and the return (or whatever that inside air exchange unit is called) is the original one that came with the house - 1974! The heat pump is more powerful than the exchange so that's why the bloody thing just keeps running and the second level isn't cooling.

  I spoke to the cleaning auntie.
  
  Auntie is very consiencitious and does throw the garbage bag away properly; she was also helping an old uncle around our office neighbourhood collecting cans.
  
  So this NEA, Sembcorp Waste, dunno what else contractor guy is really bull shitting.
  
  Even better, when I was coming up, he was trying to talk loudly on the handphone pretending that he is talking business with officers at his 'NEA office'.
  
  My collegues did noticed that the guy got nervous and panicked when I demanded from him his particulars.
  
  Should I call police?

  So are you just going to replace the return duct with a higher-flow unit, or replace the entire heat exchange system?

  anyway, i went downstairs to the cafe and talked to the waiters there.
  
  That guy has the gall to pretend to take pictures of our doorway!
  
  I told them, if this guy comes around again. Hold him and I call police!

  It's far easier to complain with words than through pictures.

  The estimate the Sears guy gave me is *gulp* $5300 after a $250 promo discount, a 10% first visit discount and a 10% assoc. discount, for the middle of the range model. I'm calling a few other companies for estimates too. The thing is, I'm very familiar with the Sears warranty and I know it's almost all-encompassing. I'm trying to educate myself online, re: the competition's warranty.
  
  And yes, I'm replacing it all. Oh and that inside unit is the air handler.
