When Irish eyes….

First off a big thanks to the guy at the gym who gets props for being creative and asking me to teach him to skate only to lose all those points asking for my “digits”. Men of the world don’t ask for a woman’s digits. Seriously. It’s called a phone number. He of course did not get them. And speaking of the gym, special thanks to the woman three machines down from me on the phone, my life is now complete knowing that you “don’t think I (you) am going to get breast implants, I (you) don’t think I (you) want to lose the sensation in my nipples”. If you want to cheer someone up send them a card through the mail. So much more exciting than seeing a bill or the exciting coupons that no one uses. I got a hand written letter in the mail yesterday and it was awesome. It was from a reader who is 18 and didn’t have a credit card but still wanted to help me out. Not only was their $15 cash but one of the nicest letters I have ever gotten! Beyond touched! Watching an old … [Read more...]

S’mores random stuff…

First off Groundhog Day is tomorrow! I’m hoping for 6 more weeks of Winter…with snow. :) It’s February…ahhhhh. Slow down time, slow down. Crazy Cocker Spaniel gained four pounds in 2 months. She is on a diet. She is very, very pissed off about that. It leads her to eat any and all things she finds on the floor. Mmmm lint, the breakfast of champions. I should not drink a Red Bull at midnight and expect not to be wide awake at 4am. I went to an old stomping ground for one of my favorite treats…deep fried tater tots. They still had those but changed the whole menu (not for the better) and now served the tots with this very gross Organic Ketchup. No, no, no. Deep fried food deserves high fructose corn syrup! Highly upsetting and apparently if I ever go back I must bring my own condiments now. I won $8 in the lottery. My time is coming I feel it. It’s amazing when you clean and organize things how many missing things get found. :D And lastly Happy Birthday … [Read more...]

I’ll check in back…

Dear On-Line Retail Stores, You can suck it. Oh sure you offer up your too good to pass deals to lure me in. And so I add you to my cart, get all excited thinking I am done shopping and go on my merry little way. Only to get an email from you six days later saying opps we don’t appear to have that in stock. You don’t appear to have that in stock? What ever happen to that thing called inventory? I thought we were of the modern age where you could track stuff like that better. And especially On-Line. They say there are three available, I buy one of those and then there are two left. I know we aren’t the leading county in math, but come on people, it can’t be that hard can it? And let’s not forget the part where they already charged you for it so you have to wait for them to put the money back into your account (if debt) or on your credit card. How is it that they can take your money in a millisecond, but to return money it will take 8-14 business days? Clearly there is … [Read more...]

Trying my patience…

December 3, 2011 by Peabody · 26 Comments

I realize that I am supposed to be extra nice and patient during the holiday season but one thing that drives me crazy is when parents let their little kids try and do something over and over. And when the kids fails at it, do they do it, no, they continue to let the kid fail at it. EDIT* Apparently I have upset a few people not let their kids fail. Of course let your kids fail. That's how they learn BUT below are examples of when you probably shouldn't be testing that out. I have two instances this week alone. Number one while at Target the mom was having her little girl put in her pin number to the machine. Number one, not a smart idea to be shouting out repeatedly your pin number to your debt card and number two after the 5th failed attempt it’s best to move on. The line continued to form behind. After I kid you not the 11th time of messing it up the Target check out girl just got frustrated and ran the card as a credit card. To which the woman was highly upset and asked to … [Read more...]
