Uncle John Says: CYA Pg. 37!!!!!

[Tat2ddisneymom]

The house looks awesome! Too bad they can't get their crap together with the appliances. I would be so !!!!

Joe works at Lowe's. They're breaking stuff all the time. Then they sell it at a discount. You would think they'd be more careful with it in the first place so they don't lose money on it.

You would think wouldnt you?? The frig will be on clearance I'm sure. Nothing wrong with it...just didnt fit.....I dont know about the washer...could be problems with that (big time dent in back & side)!!

Lowes doenst do crap about retail fraud or shoplifting either.......they dont press charges on any one.....A big builder in my city was caught stealing a bunch of stuff....they didnt do anything about it.....had him on video and everything!!

I stood in line behind a guy who was buying the same Dewalt drill ($300) I was buying......The checkout lady said "wow, you are getting a good deal on that". So when I got to the register she told me he got it on clearance for $125...told me where he said he got it...I went and looked.....nothing, I went to the tool dept. counter and told the mgr. about it.....he said we dont ever clearance out Dewalt drills!!! We went over to the checkout.....the lady said someone crossed out the bar code with a black marker and wrote $125 on the box...she did an over ride on the price.....
The guy from tools was pissed......but they didnt want to do any more about it than that.....didnt want to review cameras, reciepts....anything.....I dont know how the store makes any money with stuff like that goingon....

I posted this over at Sharky's but decided to post it here too... just in case UJ doesn't make it over there anytime soon.

We are trying to adopt a puppy! We've been approved by the rescue and are having him come for a couple days starting Monday to give it a trial run. They like to do this so that we are sure he's the right dog for us and that we are the right people for him.

We went and played with him this morning and Mama Love is in with this dog!

Here he is!

His name is Tank for now... that is subject to change though. They called him that because he reminded them of a little tank engine. He is (we think) a lab and basset hound mix and is 5 months old. He is the cutest thing I ever saw!

He looks kind of like a Korgee to me.....Tank is a great name for him!!!...
Tank as in Tank Murdock from the Clint Eastwood movies.....probably before your time!!!!

That just kills me. And that is exactly why people do the things they do. No one will hold them responsible for their actions.

He is OURS!!!!!!! It's official... we signed our adoption papers last night!

And yes... we are keeping the name. Tank it is. It is kind of fitting actually and it's growing on me. And they almost named him Sherman... I like Tank better.

Trip Update- we still need one more dinner ressie.......dont know where to go....we thought about Whisp. canyon......we have done that.....we want to eat at a resort.....any suggestions???

Where is everyone??? Must be the summer months......everyone is outside and loving it!!

Did you go into Lowe's and scream that you had enough and were now going to shop exclusively across the street at Menard's? Seriously... that is really bad! They should give you a gift card or something for your troubles. But they probably won't.

About ressies..... Whispering Canyon does look like fun! But you've been there. Did you really like it and want to go back? Or do you want to try something you haven't tried yet?

I think we have tried about everything (except a few).......Plus, your sis is a fussy whiney eater.......I have showed her menus to some rest......nope, nothing I want there.......blah blah blah example- Raglan Road (DTD), Coral Reef (Epcot), I might make her go to the Big River Grill & Brewing works!!!
She wont go back to Boma (AKL) or even try Jiko- The cooking place.....
BIG BABY!!! Whisp. canyon rocks, but we would prob. want kids with us....um, like my niece and nephews!!!!!!!

Lowe's can kiss my butt!! I was buying some drain pipe yesterday.....I was having trouble keeping it on the pull cart....the girl goes "do you need some help with that"....kind of like I was a moron or something......I said "No, but you could go help the loading dock people, they cant seem to deliver a appliance without it being smashed to smitherines"!!! She just looked at me....Well, I thought it was funny!!

Wow

I can not believe their delivery guys are that horrible that they keep breaking stuff

I am a picky eater, too

How about the Plaza at Magic Kingdom? But you said at a resort right?

Hmm....How bout Kona Cafe or Beaches and Cream? They have not too overtop the food

 

[1gr8mouse]

OK, some of you dont know this.... but, I work for a law enforcemnt agency in MI....I am on the Highway all the time... This happened to me the other day......get your kleenex ready....

I was on a motorist asst. when a lady pulled up to me and said "you need to go back north and help a little old man out...he is broke down......he must be 85 years old....please go help him".....So, off I go....

I found a 1995 Dodge Caravan with the four ways on, hood up....little old man jumps out...I get out of my car and tell him to please stay in your car....I ask him what is wrong......he tells me his van keeps overheating....wont start.....So I get the info. and call him a wrecker....
This guy is 90 years old, clothes are a mess....yellow stuff all over them.....I look in the pass. seat and see a huge tub of cheese balls (like cheese curls)..he's got that stuff all over him.......I just chuckled.....

The van is packed full of stuff.....I mean everything......I ask him where he is headed....he said "back home to Grand Rapids, I'm orig. from there, been retired living in Florida for 20 years". He asks me to stay there with him until the wrecker comes....I tell him sure.....no problem......He goes on to tell me he is moving back to GR to live with one of his kids....he had 6 kids, 19 grand children and 42 great grand children....He proceeds to tell me about his life.......politics, religion, unions, young people etc....just a great guy.....he had a trailer in the Tampa area...sold it all .....(Basically, he is coming home to die).

He gave me a phone number for a daughter in GR, I called her and when she answered I told her who I was and where I worked, she started screaming.."is he all right"?....I told her he just broke down....he would be home late..I let her talk to him........(all on my cell of course, my depart. cant afford squat)

He then tells me you know why I have lived so long?? He then tells me because of his wonderful wife......she died 10 years ago......He reaches in to his shirt pocket and pulls out some papers, thumbs threw them and locates a photo of his wife...he holds it up and says "Isn't she beautiful", he then looks at it and starts crying.......he told me she passed about a week after the photo was taken.......man, it even got to me.........I had to go back to my car for a minute.....big tough guy cant be getting all flubbery on the road!!

We talked a bit longer and then the wrecker arrived.......I pulled the wrecker driver aside and said "hey, this old guy is going home to die, take it easy on him......he asured me he would be fare with him......

The old guy got out of his van to get in the wrecker, he came up to me and gave me a hug.....said "thanks for staying with me".......

You just dont see stuff like that anymore.......

 

[1gr8mouse]

Just took this photo in the back yard......

THanks a lot



I thought for sure it was going to be a joke



Now I really have to go and get my kleenex





Did you tell your wife that story?

I know you don't bring your work home when you are a ::cop: , but I am sure she would love to hear that story

You know what else we don't see anymore... guys like you that would stay with him and really listen to what he had to say. My dad would've been proud of you today, John. I really, really mean that.


Also... did you get cheese all over your uniform when he hugged you?
(Hey, had to lighten it up a little bit, kwim? )


I'll bet your deer pic will scare the bejeezus out of Tat!

LOVE CRIES!!!


We might have to cancel our cruise. Abby's middle school called today and a class that she needs to take is only offered on another track (which is basically another schedule) and we have no choice but to switch. This means we are not off at the same times we were going to be. I didn't think it was a big deal until I looked to see about making it a month sooner and there IS NOT a cruise when I need it.

Our choices are as follows:

1. Leave it and take the kids out of school ~ which I really don't like because Abby misses enough school due to her asthma.

2. Go in April or July to the tune of $12,000... for the same cruise that we have booked for $5522..... I think NOT!

3. Go in Jan. for $1000 more than what we have booked now. I thought, hey, that is not bad. Tomato thinks differently.

4. Scrap the cruise and just go to Disney. We could do this and then schedule a cruise for the following year I guess. But that really bums me out.


WHAT WOULD Y'ALL DO??????????????????????

I would go for choice number 4, and try for a cruise the next year. Cruises will always be there. And going just to Disney isn't a bad thing.
