Good Saturday Morning, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
I hope everyone had a good day yesterday and today will be a good for you too!

[AirmensMom]

1. Good morning, Clintmax!

My internet is working today. :bounce:

Waiting for the breakfast and coffee. :donut:

I hope you have a great day! :hi:

[Clintmax]

2. Hello, Airmens!

:hi:
Have you seen that Wilma is still sitting over Cancun just spinning away? Plus, she's down to a category three!

[AirmensMom]

4. Yeah, I'm watching TWC now. :)

The hurricane panels are going up today. They can handle whatever we get, I'm sure. :)

I feel bad for Cancun! :scared:

[Clintmax]

6. I'm still hoping she makes a U-turn and goes back the way she came!

That way, she'd leave Florida completely alone!

[AirmensMom]

7. That would be nice.

I'm tired of hurricanes ... ready to leave South FL.

This year I wish we'd been able to dig up enough money to buy the accordion shutters. It's a pain putting up the panels and I can't help very much.

There's another storm out there that might become Alpha.

[Clintmax]

10. I'm tired of them too

But not because I've been affected, personally, by them this year...but because the US has had so many this year and too many people have been hurt because of them!

[AirmensMom]

15. YES!

My friends and family are ready with the clean white coats for me ... I get upset about all the people who have suffered, and still are suffering, from the hurricanes. It blows my mind and I'm so powerless to help.

[Clintmax]

16. I know THAT feeling!

That's why I say: "Enough is enough!"

[AirmensMom]

18. Got it.

I like compassionate people. :hug:

[Clintmax]

21. SO do I!

:hug:

[Mutley]

3. Morning Clint!

I had a decent day yesterday. Hopefully I'll have a decent day today. I was going to take my dogs hiking but if this rain doesn't let up it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Currently, I am looking around on a site called Liberal Underground. http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=60876&subForumID=197544 They let conservatives post there, and it seems pretty interesting thus far.

How are you today?

[Clintmax]

5. Hello, Miss Mutley!

Glad you had a decent day! I'll have to check out that site. Sounds like it could be rather interesting! Once I've been looking at is called Customers Suck.com :rofl: Or was it YOU who originally told me about it?

http://www.customerssuck.com/

[Mutley]

11. I did tell you about that.

Isn't that site funny? I need to submit some of my own stories there. :D

[Clintmax]

13. Yes, it IS!

I have so many stories...I can't decide which one to post first! Have you ever looked at ripoffreport.com?

On edit: here's a link: http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/

[Mutley]

20. I haven't.

What's it about?

[Clintmax]

22. People can file complaints against retailers...

where they feel like they've been ripped off. A lot of reports are about mail in rebates. Best Buy has a lot of complaints, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc....You should check it out sometime...you'll get a big laugh at people on that site also! I post rebuttals all the time on it too!

[Clintmax]

28. Here's an example...

Barnes & Noble Bookstore
Address:
Lexington Springmill, Ontario, OH
Ontario Ohio
U.S.A.
Phone Number:

Fax:


Purchased a gift card from the store for a Christmas present. Gift card amount that I wanted was for $20, INSTEAD I got charged $10 to buy a $10 gift card. Didn't know until the person i bought the gift for went and used it and it was only a $10 card.
I have contacted the store but they don't care.

Sara
Willard, Ohio
U.S.A.

:rofl: You'd think she would notice when she rang out that she only got charged $10.00!

[Mutley]

35. Exactly!

Mistakes are made. Cashiers are human, too. Pay attention to what is going on and you won't have this problem! GRR!

[Mutley]

34. That IS funny!

I've been reading some of the reports of a company I used to work for, and it is much fun to be able to say some of the things to those customers that I wasn't able to say when I was working there. A few of the customers are actually right, but most of the complaints are the same old bullshit -- people didn't read the signs, people think they should get special treatment RE returns, etc. Thanks for referring me to that site. :D

[Clintmax]

39. You're welcome!

Returns are my big pet peeve! What company did you used to work for that you rebutted? I'd like to take a look.

[Mutley]

44. Toys R Us.

They won't put the rebuttal through until tomorrow, I guess, but I commented on the one about returning an open Playstation game, and the one about Loss Prevention going through an employee's car.

Oh, and lurking trolls -- I don't work there anymore so don't waste your time trying to get me fired. :D

[Clintmax]

47. LOL!

Don't worry. I haven't looked at Toys R Us. I'll have to do that! I like the ones where people want to return open software and get all mad because the retailer won't give them their money back!

[Mutley]

52. That drives me crazy!

The return policy is posted all over the place in every store, AND on the back of the receipt. Yet, people still think they should be able to return it because they changed their mind. I like the ones who would tell me that Target lets them return open software, which is bull. NO company does that.

[Clintmax]

56. Yes the "Xxxx place let me return it" argument gets me too!

Well, we're not Xxxx!

[Lavender Brown]

8. Good morning!

:hangover:

[Clintmax]

9. Hello, Lavender!

:hi:
Did you have an exciting night last night? :)

[Lavender Brown]

19. Not really

I just got up on the wrong side of the bed today. ;)

[Clintmax]

23. Awww...

Well, go lay back down...then get up on the other side! :rofl:

[Lavender Brown]

37. Don't tempt me...

I want to take a nap so badly, but I'm babysitting. :crazy:

[Clintmax]

40. Oh ok.

Sorry. :rofl: Maybe you can later?

[In_The_Wind]

12. Good Morning!

:donut: And A Very Good Morning It Is! :hug:

[Clintmax]

14. Hello, Miss Joan!

:hug:
Good to see you this morning! How's every little thing?

[In_The_Wind]

17. Every lil' thing is going smoothly today.

cause ~ I'm going to goof off for the entire day!

[Clintmax]

24. I wish *I* could do that!

I have to work both days this weekend though. x(

[In_The_Wind]

27. Age

has it's rewards ...

I'm retired ...





yeah ~ right:silly: like I'll ever sit on my duff doin' nothin'

[Clintmax]

33. I'm sure whatever you decide to do...

will be better than going to work both weekend days! Have some fun for ME too, OK?

[In_The_Wind]

42. at this moment ...

I'm visiting with an old friend ...

and posting on a borrowed computer ...

Dang - if I don't miss my own smilies :(

[Clintmax]

43. Yes, I can understand how you'd miss those!

I haven't really started collecting any...but I'm going to!

[In_The_Wind]

46. I rely on the saying about one picture being worth a 1,000 words ...

because :blush: I type by the old 'hunt & peck' method ...

which BTW is very fuckin' slow x(

[Clintmax]

48. *smile*

Lots of people type that way. Don't feel embarassed.

[In_The_Wind]

50. *smiling*

It just makes ~ post from Joani ~ that much more special ...

cause when I'm on any thread it's a challenge for me (bifocals, one finger typing, etc ... the list could go on ~> ) ...

so I talk to the DUers who talk to me :)

[billyskank]

25. Hi Clint!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

26. Hello, Billy!

:hi:
I hope everything's going good in your world! Hey, have you seen TJ today? I tried to send him a PM, but I got an error message saying that he has chosen not to accept PM's...which is strange because we exchanged PM's yesterday.

[billyskank]

29. No, I haven't seen him today or yesterday

Most odd. Wonder what he's doing...

[Clintmax]

31. I don't know...

But I'm glad YOU'RE here today! :hug:

[billyskank]

36. Yay!

:grouphug:

[DainBramaged]

30. Ackackackackackackackackackack

My kittie is resting across my left arm so I can type (so smart she is) and my coffee is fresh. I wish all was well in the world, but I'll take my coffee and kittie this instant.

[Clintmax]

32. Heya, Dain!

:hi:
My cat is too big to rest on my arm...but he's a good kitty anyway!

[DainBramaged]

38. Miss Coco is tiny, about 5 pounds

So she jumps on my desk and lays across my arm right at the elbow. She is a doll. She crawls under the covers at night and sleeps under my neck, and like my dog, tries her best to be attached by the minutest of points whenever I am home. My dog however, is much too large to come up on the desk, and not to elegant at that. :)

[Clintmax]

41. Josephus is a big boy...

15 pounds. But he's been on a diet because he WAS at 20!

[DainBramaged]

45. I had a wonderful fatty who lived to be 18+

He was fat as a kitten, and stayed fat all of his life. At 16 he could no longer jump up on the bed at night, but nonetheless, he was a bud. One of my greatest kitties. At his heaviest he was 24 pounds.

[Clintmax]

49. Wow!

The vet made us feel like crap for letting him get so big...that's why he's been on a diet for two years. His target weight is 15 though...so he's where he should be now.

[DainBramaged]

51. Was the king of my home, fucking vets tried that special food too

Gives them reason to sell you food you don't need to buy. Fed them twice a day, once in morning, once in evening. You don't think that there is a little obesity in nature? I had a gigantic coon cat too, but he was just big like a medium sized dog. And after all the bullshit they tried to sell me, Purina cat chow kept him going for 16 years too.

Vets are like Dentists, sell you the farm because they don't see you like a doctor, maybe once a year. I've had wonderful cats and dogs for 35 years, and never one who was chronically sick. They lived great lives until the day they died and always died quickly. I have a 11 year old BIG Lab who looks like he's 5, and every time I go to the vet it's "he needs a blood test or he needs this special vitamin. Bullshit. When it's his time it's his time. Blood tests my ass, just another $150 for the Vet.

[Clintmax]

58. Wow!

You just described exactly what they "made" us do! We buy Hills Science Diet Feline RD (only purchaseable through the vets office), feed him once at 8 am and once at 8 pm, and only 1/4 cup at a time! It DID bring his weight down to 15 pounds, but the food is expensive!

[DainBramaged]

60. Purina has a great "indoor" cat food and diet food too

The indoor is in the green bag, cuts down on poop size frequency and smell too. People can scream bloody murder about what to feed cats, but turn them loose and they kill mice and birds and frogs and squirrels. All I've fed my babies all these years has been dry food. That includes Miss Coco, Binx, Bosworth, Roscoe, Ditto, Oreo, Levi, Monkey (I forgot, the Monk Man, was 19 pounds and died at the age of 19 in 1989), Tabby, Bert, Cudsworth #1 & #2, Willie, and my most beloved Oscefera, who was 3.5 lbs, could sit on my shoulder for hours, died at 16 and is most terribly missed of them all.

If your cat is more than 10 years old, and even if their teeth fell out they have had a great life, and stuffing money into a vet's pocket, unless it's an emergency, is as useful as throwing it out of your car window. Make me a promise. Take the money from one month's food and send it to DU, and buy kitty a bag of the Purina Indoor. The little bags are expensive (3.5 lbs) but if he likes it, 13 and 20 lbs bags are cheap as hell.

Stick with the stuff that makes your cat happy. not you, because he is ALWAYS going to be big. 15 lbs is BIG for a cat anyway. I wish I had a quick picture of my fatty to post. He would have bit me if I had given him that diet crap.:silly:

[southlandshari]

53. Good morning, Clint!

:hi:

[billyskank]

54. Hi shari

:hi:

[Clintmax]

55. Hello, Miss Shari!

:hi::hug:
Good to see you today! And thank you for the PM!

[Left Is Write]

57. I stayed out too late last night and was up too early this morning.

But good morning anyway!

[Clintmax]

59. Hello, LIW!

Good morning to you too! :hi: I hope you have a good day regardless!

[bigwillq]

61. Hey Clint!

How's everything going? :hi:
