Contrary to a post here, Aldi is a grocery store based in Germany with stores all over Europe and growing in America. The store is to the likes of Trader Joes where everything is cheap and generic brand. The food is good, just like the food you expect to get at the big boys like Safeway or Giant but made by a unknown brand with the same ingredients as the "name" brand.
Aldi has their stores around the same size as a Trader Joes and usually has around 6 to 8 aisles. In those aisles you find the food that you want, usually stacked up in boxes, not shelves to save money. Once the boxes are freed up they set them aside for those that don't want to pay for the reusable bags they have. Aldi is also known to have small gadgets and electronics for the home.
A typical Aldi trip consists of going to the store, getting a quarter out of your pocket and inserting it in the cart (you get the quarter back later. They do this so you won't leave the cart in the parking lot. Very efficient way of avoiding cart dings on your car), going inside the store, grabbing your generic groceries at a much decent price than the overpriced name brands at the "Supermarket", going home with some extra money in your pocket. Maybe making a trip to the other supermarket since Aldi doesn't stock up on certain things the supermarket does like junk food.

I went to Aldi today. Yes I did have to loan a quarter to the store to use their carts, but at least I don't worry about the car getting beat up by the carts. The food was very cheap and even though it's not a name brand tastes the same way as the name brand. I also got this new laptop that they randomly had there. I thought it was a good deal so I said why not? Next week I'll go back to buy food and see what other gizmo they have. I'm still enjoying the blender I got there last month.

In the Dental world, an appliance is a device placed in a patient's mouth designed to correct the oral area. There are hundreds of dental appliances designed to do many things to the size of the mouth and the way it aligns with the upper and lower jaw.

1. I went to Best Buy to buy a GE washer. I also got the GE drier since it was on special. I am very satisfied with the efficiency of my new appliances.
2. Samantha went to the orthodontist today and was told the bad news that she would wear an appliance for 2 1/2 years. The appliance was to align her lower jaw with her upper jaw and create the perfect bite. Samantha was very traumatized from the social stigma received from the appliance as it caused her to lisp. She also had to deal with the pain of the appliance. It was not a fun experience for Samantha.

It is open source, so the apps are free, and you have personal liberty to customize your phone any way you want. Tech geeks are known to "root" their phone, which is a process that makes you the admin of the operating system, similar to Windows' Administrator account that has been in use since XP in personal computers. The only difference is that you do not get the annoying pop up on an Android phone as you do with the windows pc counterpart.
Android is available on all major networks, and some people have managed to flash their CDMA droids onto smaller PCS networks such as Cricket and Metro PCS.

Android is the Anti iPhone. For every iPhone 4 there is a HTC Evo, G2, Galaxy S, among others. Android is less show more features, unlike the iPhone which many people have bought for show. Android started out on T-Mobile with the G1 (HTC Dream), then went to Verizon with the Motorola Droid (Milestone in GSM markets). Sprint got into the action with an HTC phone, and AT&T was the last to get with Android with the Galaxy S. To date, AT&T limits its android phones to turn sales to the iPhone, and the other 3 major cell phone carriers emphasize their innovative phone features with their Android devices.

If left unchecked, a text or other message may cause havoc or very awkward situations. Common occurrence with iPhones, but Android and Blackberry phones may also throw off a letter (EG: fuck becoming duck)
Jasmine: "We should totally get penis today"
Chelsea: "Uhm, eww I don't want penis!"
Jasmine: "Penis? I said pedis, I never said Pen.... Ohhhhh. I hate my iPhone"
Chelsea: "Sureeee, now I know what you really want!"
Jasmine: "It wasn't me Chelsea!! My iPhone is being a smartass phone again"

It sometimes includes Jefferson County, West Virginia due to many commuters living in the area. More commonly, it applies to the area that is connected by bus and train (locally known as Metro). The DC metro area is connected together by the WMATA through its flagship "Metro" bus and rail brand. It is also aided by smaller bus routes in Maryland and Northern Virginia (Fairfax Connector), ART (Arlington Transit), REX, PRTC etc).
I live in the DC Metro Area. Having a car is not a must here but it is more convinient. You can get to major parts of the DC metro area through the Metro Bus, Color coded Metro Rail. Fairfax Connector, Arlington Transit (ART), Richmond Highway Express (REX), Prince William Transit (PRTC/OmniBus), and other small bus routes. The only inconvenience is that you have to live in a lenient urban area to be serviced. It is rare to see a bus in the suburbs (such as Fairfax Station) than it is near major well known cities (Springfield, Alexiandria - Which is divided into Mt. Vernon, Hybla Valley, Franconia, Kingstowne, Belle Haven, Ft. Hunt and Huntington)

The butt is entirely flat as a pancake.

White Pixie: "What ever happened to some good old fashioned Pancake butt?" "Now that's what mom used to make." "Nice and flat!" "No cupping necessary." "The line starts all the way at the bottom." "It's not even a line." "Just a tiny incision if you will."
A: "Yo check that girl's ass out!"
B: "I don't know what you're talking about! She has a pancake incision."

Dynex is not known for reliability, but rather for its low quality products. It is a downgrade from Insignia. The brand started out as a computer product brand but it then expanded to include TVs and other small gadgetry.
Like Insignia, the manufacturers of the brand are unknown as they are pieced together from different companies.
Programming the brand to a universal remote is not possible due to the unknown manufacturer issue.

I went to Best Buy and got a Dynex keyboard and 20 inch TV. I had to go back 5 hours later due to the keyboard messing up every 5 minutes. The TV was bad as well. It would not display my desktop or DirecTV programming correctly.
Never get a Dynex. If you want to be cheap, pay the extra for Insignia. Most of the time they're the same price.
