We'll I'm saying it - private school in Bethesda for 3. Wish I had that 750K back now.

Ouch. Why did you do it if you live in Bethesda. Aren't the schools there good?

The arcade they have smack in the middle of the hotel?

And the stupid wizard game that takes half a day to complete if it's working properly. I hate the hotel too. Rooms are tract home quality and the halls smell of mold and mildew. Rooms have old TVs and dingy bed spreads.

Aw, I took my 4 year old there for July 4 and it was a blast! I thought it was worth it.

Generic speedreading concepts are fine but I now thing this was snakeoil.

You don't sound very bright.

I'm not a huge fan but my kid loves it, so it's worth it for me.

I got my kids teeth capped because my dentist at the time made me feel like they were going to fall off and rot within days. The caps were huge and uncomfortable and he lost those teeth within the year anyway. 2400 dollars down the drain. Now my kids go to my dentist in Ohio during the 2x a year we visit...just couldn't find one here that I didn't think was a scam artist!

That is insane and that dentist is unethical. Unethical dentists are dragging down the reputation of the profession.

Private school for two kids for 14 years. Wish we hadn't done it.

re: teeth capped - that's a very disturbing post, imo. :/ i would hope no one would do anything like that with second and third opinions at the least.

CTY testing. Great opportunities and woo-hoo for qualifying and all, but we can't afford any of the programs.

Samsung is considered high end for appliances?

Yes, they are trying to get in the high end market. It will take a few years but eventually they will perfect it and give the high end companies a run for their money. Basically what they did for washer/driers and fridges.


NP. I will never purchase another Samsong appliance. Both the diswasher and installed microwave were horrible. I ended up trading down and better for a Maytag.

I have to replace my front loading dryer by SAMSUNG and it's only 3 years old!!! wtf?
my old ass regular dryer in my basement is still going strong 10 yrs later
