Maybe not, Rosie....but I'd like one that says 'dessert' in the middle!
Things that make you go "hmmmm" or Say what???!!!! PT2
Ah, but that isn't the largest 'slice' of the 'pie' wedge. The salad has that distinction.
I can't believe it...but there are more than one report. My DGD drink this....or USED to!!!

My grandkids never had that.....they like plain grape or cranberry juice.....
Now my friend is passing out every time she has to change her bandages, she didn't realize they left one of the the areas open(I guess for drainage????) doc said it's not healing properly
What did she have done? My wife specializes in wound healing, among others.
gastric bypass
Oh yes, I remember. Passing out from stress??
She can't look at the wound...guess one of those if they see blood it makes her pass out
Is there someone who can assist her?
She said she's been doing better but she would have to call a friend everytime she wanted to take a shower to hang out in the bathroom with her
If your birthday is on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th of November, then the chances are, that you were a Valentines gift from your parents. :-)
Well if you eat at a place with that name what do you expect?

Right....there's already a load of pesticides!
Policy: when ordering furniture - no refund, no exchange, no cancellation
when order for furniture is placed 50% down payment. Remaining 50% upon delivery....cash or certified check only.
hmmmmmm ok..... this is a big leap of faith..... 50% down......furniture not due for 2 months. "Got to come from across "the pond" don't cha know........"
..........if the ship is delayed....we will let you know....keep you informed.....don't you worry about that.........
5 months later....... Monday this week...... the long awaited call (by the way...we know there was a delivery delay somewhere on one side or the other of "the pond" because when the two months came and went WE called.................
"Hello, your furniture has arrived..... we would like to deliver on Friday" "When can you come to pay the rest of the bill?"
"What do you mean ------ pay the rest of the bill???????" "We haven't received the furniture!"
"Lady, I have been told that I can't put the furniture on the truck until you come to pay the bill."
"Well, what do you want to do because I AM NOT paying for furniture sight unseen!!" '
"HUH??" Didn't you see it when you ordered it?"
---------------------------------
"Yes, I saw a floor model and the catalogue description and photo ........... but how do I know that what is going to be delivered isn't purple patent leather with a huge hole and a broken back???"
"Look Lady, ..... we can't put it on the truck unless you complete payment"
"The contract I have here says CASH OR CERTIFIED CHECK UPON DELIVERY" "You LOOK and do what YOU want ----speak to your boss or his boss -- but I am not paying before I receive the furniture....."
Today Saturday: Knock Knock....... "Morning Miss.......I have your furniture......" "I am not supposed to take it off the truck until I get your check or cash."
"Well.......... I guess you will be getting back in that truck and leaving with it as heavy as when you arrived." (Off to the truck to make a private phone call.....)
........................................................................................................
ME: "I am calling to verify my delivery Sunday regarding an exchange of a freezer"
Sears Customer Service "I'm sorry....that item still is on back order"
ME: "Well, when were you going to tell me that ...Sunday is two days away?"
Sears CS "Your business is very important to us..... we have an available date of March 4th"
ME: "this Sunday, Feb 19 is the third date we have scheduled.......the item never seems to be available"
Sears CS "We are so sorry, your business is very important to us. March 4 is the best we can do."
ME: "I will call the salesman who sold me the original i now have (THIS is the same day as the furiture delivery mentioned above.)
Sears: "all right, and then you can get back to us" (YOU can get back to US!!!!)
Sears Sales Rep "Well you know the freezer you have is a top loader.... we have trouble with those all the time" "It was recalled you know."
ME: "yes." "AND"
Sears Sales "Well you DO realize that a recall is Nationwide not just NC?"
ME: "Yes" "AND?" ............"It was me that called for service and LEARNED of the recall ONLY AFTER THE FACT"
Sears Sales: "well that darn recall has caused a nationwide shortage....that is why you can't get your exchange" "I will look to see if we have anything else we can use for exchange"
"I will not be able to call you back until Monday next week...... can't do this over the weekend......" "I am speaking to you from my home you know....I am on medical leave"
Fine.....no delivery Sunday.....wait for a call about a different freezer for exchange.....hope it fits in that space.... don't much care about the color anymore..... just need that freezer.......
------------------------------
Later that day....... (the furniture fools have left......I am holding my head and settling my stomach)
'brrrrring.....brrrring......brrrrring..." IT's Robot Lady -- she seems to work for EVERYBODY!!!! THIS TIME SHE SAYS " this is Sears...calling you about your scheduled delivery scheduled for Sunday.............February .....19TH ............... at ____ (pause)_____ we do not have the time window for delivery at this time..... you will be called Saturday with a delivery time. It is important that someone over the age of 18 be available to receive this merchandise.....if this is not possible....please call us to reschedule...."

PS (we scheduled a busy day off......).do you know WHO was in the laundry room when the furniture was being delivered and afterward when I was on the phone with one of the zillion 1 800 call Sears people who I am very important to???
The SEARS repair guy....who was trying very hard to figure out why my 'clothes dry' audible signal was beeping at volumes HIGH MEDIUM LOW over and over and over the entire time the machine is on........
"Nothing wrong with this dryer Lady......it's the board....the electronics....these things electronic you know...... something wrong with that board..... "
"Well, it is driving me crazy and when the dryer is on ....I can't shut it off.....unless I open the door and stop the dryer......and then the dryer won't restart"
"Well...see.....what you got to do is shut it down for 15'.....not off and on....but 15' ..........." "MOST people know that..."
"it resets it most of the time...." "but, I'll go ahead and replace the entire mother board....you're under warranty...it will cover... this stuff happens all the times...electronic you know...."
PS
I have not exaggerated one single thing either!
If anything....I left out a lot of things that made me go hmmmmmmmmmmm's
You need to just stop buying things...LOL
YIKES!
ice chest?
My friend bought a washer from the family owned appliance store she has always dealt with.....the washer didn't work properly since week one...they kept sending out the repairman....same problem over & over....the store would NOT replace the machine.....they finally gave her credit towards buying a new one....then they told her it didn't matter what brand she bought....none would last!
LOL. THAT FIGURES!
Update. 8:02 Saturday
Brrrring........... Brrrring. ....brrrring....... ( I knew I shouldn't have watched that Harry Potter marathon last night until 2 am.....) ...... It's .. Robot Lady!!!! I can hear her sweet dulcet tones as she leaves me a message! ...........She must be calling to give the delivery time!
OH JOY! Goodbye Leaky Frosty Freezer..... Sorry neighborhood kids....no more snow for you to use for all your sledding needs in summertime.....( OK a small ( very small) stretch of the truth)
"Hello.....this is.....(pause) Sears Delivery. .....calling to tell you that your scheduled delivery has been. (pause) delayed. .........please call 1 800 .................."
Yuck! hope you don't have to wait too long for a delivery date.
How very typical....just as long as your payment isn't delayed, they really don't care....
Sears seems to have gone downhill since the 80's.
A lot of department store chains have. Food stores seem better organized than earlier times, but it seems the department stores get snarled up by selling shoddy products with mechanical design errors, probably in order to capitalize on "planned obsolesence."
p.s.: trying to get online bill paying for Verizon and Verizon Wireless has already consumed hours of my life I'll never get back. Ugh.
Trapped in a Verizon store for over an hour last fall, & still couldn't get the service I wanted! Tried over the phone....had to call again...think they do it on purpose....
DO YOU BEIEVE SEARS CALLED with a voice message-type survey about the customer service.....was I satisfied, etc etc.....the answers were 1- 5 level of satisfaction. HA...every time I pushed '1' (least satisfied) the phone would reset to the beginning of message.. '1' was the REPEAT message button.... I was so excited to take the survey that it didn't dawn on me then that it was a rcorded message and that I couldn't take the survey. HA!
My new delivery date is March 4 - for the freezer.
PS the furniture was perfect. Single recliner and dual seat recliner. I sat on the dual seat recliner the following evening and ....CRACK.... the seat under my butt slumped.........WHAT THE??...
Turns out (this from the sales guy) it comes over 'the pond' in pieces and assembled here...with the hydrolics (? spelling) the cushion has to be snapped into place...if no "snap" it isn't right or if the delivery guys lay it on its bach ( they didn't) it undoes something. (I am just repeating what I was told) It was so UGLY sitting there broken. My beautiful new leather 40th anniversary chair! Two big guys came next day one took the top and one took the bottom and PUSHED....it did snap in, and now it is fine. Fjords alpha 510 - great reputation. Two big guys and one push....who is going to do this super pushing when warranty is over........
Guess, Rosie!
LOL you are right Robin. But you saying it is really funny!!
My only consolation was that I took a photo of that poor pathetic looking sofa with its lopsided seat and emailed it to the salesperson......just in case he wanted to screw with me........I wanted him to know what I had to show potential visitors to the shop..... That Sears had me in a tizzy and that was as much as I was going to take! It was not a typical reaction of mine ...but I was not myself!
Dealing with things like that can drive you crazy....when I bought new appliances a few years ago, I was not happy.....
oh geez...told ya you just need to stop buying things
Right Jen this convinced me. I told my hubby...all purchases when necessary and used and or cheap! Then when things break -- toss and replace with no regrets and no frustration and no breaking the bank.
