Just Some Stuff I Learned
I had completely planned on unloading a big ole rant about a certain hand-held e-mail device and its frustrating customer service department, HOWEVER, I will give those cats one day to make things right before I tell my eight loyal blog fans all about their scheme.
Instead, I’ll proceed as planned with the long list of random stuff I learned this week. But they should know that I will SO REPORT IT RIGHT HERE NEXT WEEK IF AND WHEN THAT $79.99 CHARGE DOES NOT FIND ITSELF REMOVED FROM MY CREDIT CARD BILL IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE SERIOUSLY I RETURNED THE STUPID THING.
Now then.
Where was I?
The list.
Yes.
1. When going to a 3-D movie, you should insure that you do not get your greasy fingers on the lenses because you will be spend the better part of the rest of the movie aggravated because you have a big, greasy, smudge on your right lens because the lens will not wipe clean.
2. When your iRobot Roomba does nothing but travel in a circle, it will do you no good to clean the dirt from every crevice on the machine. Instead, save yourself forty-three minutes and your sanity and just check for a feather in the front wheel.
Stupid feather pillows.
3. When agreeing to be the PTA President for the upcoming school year, you should know that the fund raising jokers people will hound the snot out of you. Apparently, fund raising is a competitive business in these parts.
4. The vanilla frosty at Wendys is boring. It doesn’t even compare with the chocolate one.
5. No matter how much you donate to charity – they will always ask for more.
[Begin rant]
McDaddy and I contribute to a wonderful organization that I will not name. Shortly after making that annual donation a few weeks ago, I was asked if I would like to make a one-time gift in the amount of $40.00 to aid with some special project.
Seriously.
I could not. believe. it.
Two days later, another organization to which we have given a small donation to in the past, called asking for another donation. The next day? The same thing.
I was stunned. And then it happened again.
[End rant]
6. In the past, all clothing purchased at C.J. Banks was wrapped all nice and neat in layers of tissue paper and sealed with a gold C.J. Banks sticker. Thanks to the failing economy, the powers-that-be have put the smack-down on the tissue paper/sticker set. Instead, your clothing will be tossed into a bag that will barely hold your purchases.
7. The Mart of Walls and SAMS on the other hand, are thriving in the midst of major store renovations. I would suggest that you pop an extra blood pressure pill before attempting to make your way through one of these fine establishments during the remodeling phase.
8. No matter how comfortable they are, CROC flip-flops are probably not the best shoe to wear when driving. But if you must wear them, you should totally be careful when you are backing up because your foot COULD slip off of the brake and hit the gas and you MIGHT almost plow down your mailbox.
But that scenario is purely hypothetical, of course.
9. If your hubby is deployed and his friends phone wanting to do something special to his heap (ahem! I mean JEEP) as a surprise for him you should totally let them do it. Your hubby will smile and go on and on about how wonderful the surprise was even though you had very little to do with it.
Oh, and for those of you who may be afraid that you might lose sleep becuase you are dying to know about the surprise for McDaddy… He asked a friend of his to make (design?) a new bumper for his beloved JEEP. Me and one of his friends snuckdrove the JEEP down to the bumper guy’s house and left it so that he could put the bumper on. Once it was installed, his friend posted pics of the jeep on the JEEP CLUB site where McDaddy saw it for the first time today.
I know! I know! I don’t get it either, but it makes McDaddy happy.
10. Okay, I’m sure I had another thing on my list, but I cannot think of it right now because my head is filled with all manner of nonsense regarding the certain-hand-held-e-mail-device-and-its-customer-service-department.
But I promised not to talk about it yet.
And I am a girl of my word.

Would this be the same device that you won?
No 5. Oh don’t we know it!
My hubby was a scout leader until a couple of years ago. Just around the time he quit the central office for scouting in the UK was doing this BIG push for fundraising because it was some anniversary or other. Who did they contact for money? Oh yeah, every single scout leader in the country, you know, those people who already give every spare minute of their time and a good portion of their cash to the cause! grrrhhhh!
Okay, I can definitely identify with numbers 6 and 7. Walmart scares me these days!!
I’ve never had the Vanilla Frosty, but I imagine it would be fairly boring.
On the other hand – I did try their new Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty and it was TASTEEE!! Scooter tried the Frosty-cino Frosty Shake and it was also very good. I know you don’t care for coffee, but they do have other flavors.
I think Styfelin’s new bumper looks kewl! Nice job! I need to send him pics of Scooter’s newest ride. I promised pictures a while back, but haven’t gotten to them yet – shame on me.
Oh – and I totally laughed out loud thinking about you almost mowing down your mailbox. Hypothetically, of course.
Ahh…a Roomba! For now, I have 2 boys to do the job. It took a while for my 6 year old to be big and strong enough to manuever our HEAVY vac. As a bonus, he’s awesome with those hose attachments.
Hope it all works out with customer service about the e-mail device and you never have to post anything about the problems!
Why would anyone order a vanilla frosty when there’s chocolate to be had? This just doesn’t even make sense.
um….I like vanilla frosties. I actually like vanilla ANYTHING – vanilla scones, vanilla candles, vanilla to cook with, vanilla drinks, vanilla ice cream (the best).
I don’t get the jeep thing.
I worked at a nonprofit and I have been in the situation where I wanted to raise a certain “small” amount of funds for a very specific project and the first thing we did as look at the list of donors to see who might be willing to give just a *little* more. It’s pretty successful really, it’s easier than looking for new donors. I’m sure I never called you though.
Those customer service people obviously don’t know the power of your blog.
I have never had a vanilla frosty because I am all about the chocolate. And the new coffee one sounds yummy.
Nothing like a good rant!
Hope you achieve victory with the Customer Service dept.
I love your posts. And if this is the device you won from MY blog, please tell me and I will give them WHAT-FOR. !@!#!@$%
WOW. You learned lots more than I did this week. Great tip about the Crocs. And I’m sure it was hypothetical. I will keep it in mind!
Come on…now I really want to know…
I like the new bumper for the JEEP…it is…lovely….boys and their toys.
Vanilla Frosties rock, but not as much as the Root Beer Floats. But #9 is my favorite.
