The Daily Grind ~1/27/11~

[BernardandMissBianca]

OMG I pinched a nerve in my neck and I have to keep my head tilted and turned slightly. I can't get out of the driveway and my chiro leaves at noon today. This day just keeps getting better and better.

I feel like a broken record, but yet another snow day!!! We just got finished snowblowing the 7-8 " from last night - i measured and we have over a yardstick along the sides of the driveway. Forget what used to be a front lawn - it may be cleared off by May!! Well over 4 1/2 ft with all that has been blown onto it!
So, I have a chance to do some scrapping this afternoon, I want to reach my goal. Hey Buff - hoping that you get to the chiropractor in time.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

won't make it to the chiro today. the plow guy just got here and the belt on the plow lift broke. We jacked it up enough to get a chain over it. he's headed off to the auto parts store now. Hopefully he'll come back soon. He'd better, I have his money! LOL

OMG I hurt!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Sorry about the pain Buffy.

Pixie Dust your way for your family Rebecca.

Way to go Rachel!

What a little rascal Megan.


My Alex is home. School lunch didn't sit well today. Well, I guess it is sitting better in the school toilet.

Still waiting for the cabinet guy to call me back. I'm not drilling the holes. My husband is fit to be tied. He is really unhappy with me because I picked going with these people over Lowe's. I thought it would be right thing to do in this economy, go with the smaller family owned business. I think I must have really bad Karma from another life to live down.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I don't blame you Ann, I would have done the same thing.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Rebecca, prayers and pixie dust for your family.
Buffy, I hope you feel better.

Cheryl, congratulations to Rachel!!! That's awesome! She's going to knock their socks off in the semifinals!

I haven't done much of anything today. I feel horrible so I've just been laying around and sleeping or reading. I think I caught what's been going around at work. At least I don't work again until Monday so I can rest up.

Have a great day!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Feel better Buffy...ice and heat!

You did the right thing... You did what all of us have tried to do..support the local economy... unfortunately some business don't deserve our support.. looks like you found the one in your area... Tell DH he could have fought hard for you to utilize Lowes!

Sorry you pinched a nerve Buffy.... Hope you feel better soon...

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Well, now that I am done crying my eyes out, I can type.
They aren't doing anything. The doors fit, end of story. They will mail me the rubber stoppers. I can take them to court if I want to. Can't go to small claims court because it is over $3,000 of merchandise.

I think I'm going to go curl up on the couch for a while.

I am so sorry.......THEY SUCK BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the one thing you can do is make sure no one else you know EVER uses them ...call Better Business Bureau too....

for the extra holes you mentioned, can they be filled with wood putty? or would it look bad...

sending BIG

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

CAll the news ANN!!!!!!!

What a jerk!

CAll the news ANN!!!!!!!

What a jerk!

oohh good idea Buffy...is there one of the "Consumer Watch" reporters in your area....they always seem to get things accomplished !!!





OT - I posted a question about the Gypsy can someone go look at it...trying to decide to get it or not

 

[morgansmom2000]

What? You've got a purchase order or a work order showing that you ordered X and they sent you Y? Take them to court. If they made the error they need to fix it. And, if you do end up taking them, ask for attorney's fees too.

If it were Massachusetts, I could cite Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 93A and unfair and deceptive trade practices, false advertising, and the whole nine. That is NOT right.

for comparison:

 

[PrincessNancy96]

That is awful Annie! Just awful! I would call the better business bureau too... I would not recommend them to anyone ever.. not even my enemy.... I am so sorry they are being such schmucks!!

Yuck Buffy.. that's awful looking....
Ok, off to post the kids' grades on their doors.. they each have one class that needs to be brought up to the A range.. ....

 

[mommy2mrb]

Wow that's a lot of yuck Buffy, no wonder you're tired of it.

 

[morgansmom2000]

The table on my deck:

The pile directly to the left is my bulkhead into the basement from outside:

The pile of snow directly out of my kitchen door - we have a small path to get to the cars.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Double YUCK!!! Jen....you all definately are in need of a big warm up !

 

[morgansmom2000]

Like Pam said, it's been snowing pretty much since Boxing Day, and cold to boot. No melting going on here. It's crazy!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

That is sooo much snow. Glad it isn't me.


I asked DH about filling the holes, but he said it would look worse.

I am not husband's favorite person right this minute.
