So here's something new - sort of a double mystery.
We sent in a Foreman grill because it failed under warrenty. They emailed that a replacement had been sent to us ack in January - and the tracking number said it was delivered on January 31st. On February 21st we noticed it had not shown up - and that's when we checked the tracking number to see when it should have shown up. SO just 3 or 4 days ago we reported it missing to UPS. And they said they would send a claim request back to Salton. Well - guess what... it showed up today? That almost sounds too quick for Salton to have reshipped one... and my spouse says the box said something about having been delivered on the 31st of January. So what's it doing showing up on our doorstep today in March?
Now the same thing sort of was happening with Sharper Image. I had purchased a pair of binoculars off their auction site - and it never showed up. Also it's been a month with that. Well - I emailed them late last week - and today this showed up on our doorstep (delivered).
What gives?
It sounds like to me your delivery people aren't delivering until they get a contact of some sort from the company after you report it. No way another one could be sent out that fast!
So before I check out for the evening...
I think its' time for another round of 7 questions for this weekend....
SEVEN QUESTIONS....
1]. TWO PART QUERY.... Given a choice would you choose living with excess HEAT, COLD or HUMIDITY? Or name your
preferred environment. Given a choice - what would be the
LAST environment of choice [least desired aspect] from the preceeding options?
2]. TWO PART QUERY.... Who's your favorite
HERO? And what about your favorite
Archvillan?
3]. What's your all time favorite TV show (or movie if you have no favorite shows).
4]. Did you brush and floss your teeth this morning? And what about last nite?
5]. Whats' the most charming or thought provoking thing you have seen, witnessed or to have happened in the past 48 hours?
6]. If you could wake up tomorrow and relive any one day from your past... and relive it with possible changes ... but returning to the present would NOT change... what day would you like to relive? It's just pure fantasy.
7]. If you could change one thing about your home - what would it be?
Considering I've lived in Texas my entire life - I'd choose hot with as little humidity as possible. Probably the only place I'd even consider moving to in my life would be Florida... but it's pretty humid there!
Least desirable place to live? I'd have to say where there is LOTS of snow every long long winter.
Favorite hero? Superman... definitely superman. When Christopher Reeves was superman I so wanted to be Lois Lane... you betcha. LOL
Archival? I don't get into those...
Now stacey is going to think I'm copying her but it's the truth- Little House on the Prairie- hands down! I wanted Laura's dad to be my dad. I wanted to be Laura!
I brushed and flossed last night. I brushed this morning. I didn't eat in between so I didn't think flossing again in the morning was necessary.
Charming or thought provoking thing in the last 48hrs? Hmmm, that's a toughy. I think that's a toss up between the story about the ring returned to daughter and the family taking care of the kids while the mother is in the hospital!
Relive one day in the past but I'd still get to the present? Well there are many things in my past that I wish I could change but all of them WOULD change my present, so I'll pass on that...
Change one thing about my home? Well considering we just bought this house in Nov... I don't think I'd REALLY change anything. It's pretty darn near perfect for us. Okay I can think of one thing- I don't like the way the landscaping surrounded in bricks and stuff juts out the side of the garage/driveway... so even though the driveway curves out there too, I dislike having to back out of the garage (that comes out the side- another trend that I'm not particularly fond of to begin with- what's so wrong with just backing straight out a garage to the road? ugh) and do a little curvey thing in the driveway. It's not fun trying not to run over the landscaping there and then trying to adjust back so I don't go in the grass on the other side of the driveway. Kind of a pain.
Yes, my guess is a lazy UPS delivery agent who is marking the packages as delivered and then only taking the time to come out if someone complains. I avoid UPS whenever possible after last year when the delivery person stole my son's medication. (It is a controlled substance from a mail-order pharmacy. We received a note saying they tried to deliver it. We called and asked for redelivery and UPS told us they could not find it. Later found out the delivery agent had taken it.)
I agree on the thought of lazy UPS delivery person... and OMG that's horrible about the medication!
Don't think I've ever seen a morning where I only had to click through four pages of ketchup. Busy day today. One son is off to "Merit Badge University" (a Boy Scout thing) already. Other son has PA Math testing today for 6th grade and we are taking DD4 out to dinner tonight in honor of her birthday Monday (although she does not deserve it -- had a big row yesterday over her messy room, finding empty pudding cups in it and Play-Doh stuck to the carpet that she tried to hide with a blanket)
What type of testing do they have in 6th grade that is on a SATURDAY?? That's just crazy!
Hmm, so you have a 6th grader that hides empty pudding cups in her room too? I have lived thru that... (mine is in 7th grade now and I think I have threatened her life enough to stop the pudding cups. I think LOL)
You are so welcome! I'm glad the shirts made it there on time and that the kids liked them . . .
Oh they did like them!
Does it make me look like a bad mom to say I allowed my youngest to put that shirt and her red sweatpants back on after her shower to go to BED IN THOSE CLOTHES? Well she really really wanted to... no, she's not the least bit spoiled...
thanks again!
Hazel
It's Hazel's birthday??!!!
Well get down... HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAZEL!
We have late seating, we always have, even with the kids. DH works until 7 pm most nights, so we're used to having dinner late.
As for the cruises, we like the extra time late seating gives us to be out on excursions and still get back and get ready for dinner.
As long as we don't linger over dinner for too long, we still get to the clubs in time for the fun...when they are playing a game or whatever...and usually call it a night by midnight.
I've also often wondered if the early seating feels rushed to be done and out the door so that the servers can get ready for the next round?
We've never felt pressured if we were in the midst of a good conversation and a cup of coffee or after dinner wine.
You call it a night by midnight?
Somehow I had you pegged as more of a nightowl than THAT. geesh LOL No wonder we never saw you except earlier in the day- we barely got our hineys near the clubs until shortly before midnight.
I think we're going to stay with late dining. I think this time we will NOT force the kids to eat with us- they weren't particularly THRILLED with the food (and we didn't receive super fun for kids type service either- not that it was bad... just saying they won't miss it) -so I think we'll just let them eat with the lab and then they can have their fun in the lab during our dinner time instead of fussing that they are missing all the fun stuff by eating with us in late dining!
I hope we get 8pm though because anything later than that and we'll probably just be skipping dinner most nights. 8pm was late enough last time! We were leaving the dining room around 9:30pm or later!
That WAS fun. I think I signed out at 11:00 my time...or somewhere around there.
It was midnight my time. That's all I know!
We have always done late seating. The reason we like it is because we don't feel rushed on port days. Our last cruise, we had an 8:30 seat time and had VERY slow service and that is the first time I did not enjoy late seating. I think that was a fluke though.
Hey, I remember that song.....
Like I said above- if we get 8:30pm that will really be pushing it too late for us. We already missed a lot of late night buffets, stuff going on, etc. with 8pm seating time!
I'm just glad it was my fence, and not my house!!!
I am too!!!!!! Amen to that.
No real story Mary Ann......I got her from the rescue person who drove Chrissy from Kentucy to NJ for us. Anyway, she was in very poor shape and so I took her to the Vet before bringing her to the house. It was a few days before Christmas and when they asked me on the spot at the Vet's office for her name..........well I am no good under pressure and blurted out Chistmas. Well rather than change it, our kids and us decided to keep the silly name and add Tree as a middle name. We call her Chrissy (except during December) but just this morning the Vet came in and said "Hello Christmas" is ridiculous really, but funny!
Awww, so sweet!
We rescued Tramp (from the kill-shelter!) a few days before Christmas a couple of years go. Cute name!
Andrew.....I already have thousands of pounds.........how about some money
Can someone translate for me ????? LOL
Mark
sorry, I can't!
Just got off the phone with my Darling Disney Bride. She is having a great time at the retreat, and wanted to say thanks again for all the birthday wishes. The ladies are on their way shopping at one of the outlet malls in the Lancaster, PA area. They are having a Formal Dinner tonight, so they have to be back by 5pm to get dressed for dinner.
DD and I had leftover Chinese for lunch, we might be heading to Applebee's for dinner later on.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
We are linked with Diane's family for Late Dining.
Yeah! More late dining people!
However... are we already linking up people to people? If so, who are WE goin to be linked up with? I hope we're atleast close to Stacey's table... yes, I'm now officially a Stacey stalker. Well not really, but let's just say that out loud in case some people are thinking it.
Oh snap, I told Hazel I would do the laundry today since she is away and I forgot all about it.................sorry all...............gotta go sort the clothes.
You better get cracking! That's sweet of you though. (and funny that you said oh snap! Do you watch Raven too?)
You mean CORCS don't you??
aw, you beat me to the corcs reference...
You got it Stackey!
aw, you beat me to the Stackey! Tha'ts what I get for cleaning all day...
Stackey ????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................
Mark
Thank you...I thought everyone would laugh at me for that.
no way! We'd never laugh at you, Stacey. Even if we're laughing we're laughing WITH YOU. remember that!
Okay I thought Shelley would do that, not M and of course leave it to the swabbie to IMMEDIATELY pick up on it THAT IS TERRIBLE!
You thought I'd really do it? I'm not sure I have the cahoonas (sp?) to do that. If I did, I'd have to be in disguise the whole cruise so as to avoid Stacey slapping me upside the head, atleast once.
My little Enna-let woke us up before the crack of dawn asking to have the "throw up bowl". She fell asleep right after school yesterday and didn't want to wake up for dinner, so it seems like she's fighting the same virus I had earlier this week. Fortunately, she hasn't needed to use the throw-up bowl (TMI!) but we all feel better knowing it's with her just in case.
Then I had the early-morning trip for groceries and to pick up a b'day present for DS to take to a classmate's party this evening.
So, I'm not kidnapped, but compared to real life at the moment, kidnapped might be more fun!
Oh no! I hope the little Enna-let is feeling better by now- or soon!
So sorry to hear this Enna, hope you and little Enna start feeling better soon.
Angelina is sneezing her head off, eyes all watery, and she has 11th Grade State Testing from Monday through Thursday this coming week. I'm hoping it's just allergies and that she isn't coming down with anything.
Time to put my work clothes in the dryer. Be back in a bit.
Oh no! I hope it's just allergies and nothing more serious. Not cool to be sick when you have testing going on!
I think the lotto here is 31 million. I never remember to buy a ticket. My friend at work always buys her tickets everyweek, same #s religiously. She was at her DGS birthday party, got a headache bypassed buying it on the way home thinking she would go out later. Lotto was $ 35 million and it was all her numbers.
She was so green that whole week. Her husband has been battling cancer (leukemia) for the last 2 years and she sure could've used the money. Her response is that it wasn't her time!!!
Oh
My
God.
I would just die.
Poor dear...
Very impressive, BIP didn't even see it coming.
I sure didn't! I wasn't anywhere near that point at the time she wrote it. But she sure is giving me a run for the money huh? Trying to steal my queendom I guess.
Time for me to go, but, something to think about.....

Chrissie - I can't remember - but are you trying to book this cruise? But, if "tigger and pooh" did have a stateroom booked - it will now become available. So, I think the "sold out" status will change in time.
Chris
What happened with tigger and pooh?
I am in a frying mood today. I'm fixing chicken tender, onion rings and fries,
tried to talk them into going out.
I feel my arteries clogging up just reading it. (but it sounds good LOL)

Oh no.
How dare they get married at the same time as our once in a lifetime cruise!
Well, we'll miss you.
So... everyone was posting and I was TRYING to read today but instead I tried to ignore my heathen children as much as possible by emersing myself in major cleaning all day. Sometimes it's the only way I can resist the urge to lose my mind with these kids. And I have EIGHT MORE DAYS of them all day long every day. ahhhhhhhhhhhh Sometimes I wish my kids had a little less energy and weren't quite so smart for their britches (read: smart mouthed)
Hope everyone is having a lovely evening! I'm reading all the posts, but unfortunately I can't possibly respond to them all (ofcourse). By the time I catch up I'm so far behind again... that's why I do the multi-quotes. If I tried to post responses as I went along it would take even longer to catch up!
Chat was fun last night. I'm not a chat virgin anymore!
I thought you had to purchase at least 150 points if you were buying from Disney.
Hope it gets better soon!
and watch a movie...POTC DMC!
