susandennisIf you are wet and need to dry off, stop by. I now have towels.
Note to self: No matter how hungry you think you are, next time to drive through Arby's unless you have a boy scout troop in the back seat you do not need 4 fried cheese sticks AND a Santa Fe salad. One or the other. Not both.
I put on a sweater when I went to Sears! Ok, it was a light weight sweater and I had to take it off before I even got there cause I was too hot, but still... it counts.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seattlejo says she heard we are going to have Thunderstorms!!! It probably won't happen but it would be fun.
I got a call from the online drug place today. I had decided - fuck 'em - I didn't need to put up with that hooey. This guy today was very nice and very straightforward and what he said made sense and he listened to me and he was sympathetic to my plight and he had good suggestions and so I said. Ok, let's do it! I certainly will never be a high volume or important customer but he sure managed to pluck me out of the reject pile. Color me impressed.
Oh and... he said that the toothpaste would be $3.50!!! This is the same toothpaste which costs $10 at the dentist and $11 with shipping from Canada! I'll believe it when I see it but for $3.50 it's sure worth a peek! I go through a tube about every 6 weeks.
Then onto my Amazon battle. In a moment of silliness, I signed up for the prime thing - the 2 month trial. Their 'welcome message' clearly states that I will be informed when the trial is over so I can cancel if I want. But, I didn't wait for that. I canceled a week ahead of time. But, I never got an ack back which I thought was a little weird so I canceled again on the 10th. Trial up on the 11th. Clearly the first cancel didn't work and now the second didn't so I sent an email. I got an auto 'we have your email' and nothing else. And so then, today, I discover that, of course that rat bastards charged my credit card. So I can canceled one last and final time and called Discover and told them I was not going to pay the $79. Lo and behold - two hours later I have 3 messages from Amazon about how very sorry they were for the mix up and they will issue me a credit immediately.
Not a single mention of kissing me ass, however. Oh well.
The Fujitsu site shows they shipped my new LifeBook today!! That means... maybe... Monday!
Back to work.
