Little annoyed at an email..

November 17, 2008

I am a little annoyed at an email I received today in my inbox, which is suppose to be about “updates” for a membership I have. Now we all know in life, things come up! It happens, and to us all. But honestly I think a person could be a little less rude in how we are told to “please do not email asking where your tags are”, as they haven’t even been “started on” yet. There has been “no time” to do them. Don’t you think it should of been worded at the “beginning of the email” I apologize but at this time I do not have the tags ready, but will have then ready for you soon and I thank you for being patient with me? or something like that? Yet we can work on the “theme” week goodies?? Something a little ass backwards if you ask me! I would think filling the tag orders would be first here, but maybe I am wrong, call me crazy!

I am tell you what…. It is all about how you approach someone here. I have always looked at my memberships with respect to the site owner and as a privilege, but don’t like the how I was told to don’t email asking where my tags are when they are asking me to consider spending MY money in joining a theme week or their new site in the paragraph before saying oh by the way no tags yet, don’t ask, no time, etc etc etc…

Wow just when you think

November 17, 2008

Wow just when you think to yourself, great I got this computer with a 500 GB hard drive, I can’t possible need anymore, especially when you factor in my external hard drives. Then you browse ad’s and you see now how computers come with even BIGGER hard drives and I am like dang! I would need to buy a huge external just to make sure I could back it up. WOW. I mean seriously a TB? Who is going to use that up?

Being someone who collects tags, does digital scrap booking, takes digital photos and is into gaming, I just can’t imagine “myself” even using that much space? Wow. I wonder if that would just be a waste for most folks, say like my dad for instance. I mean he just uses a computer to log into the Internet and play some online games. That is it. He wouldn’t need that much space.

Can you imagine say a year from now, maybe even two what the size of hard drives are going to be?

Not sure I like the new “throne”

November 17, 2008

I am not sure I am liking the new “throne”. I am a bit “miffed” at the fact that we didn’t have a “say” in the “style” chosen. Of course I know why that is, as I stated yesterday the home improvement stores didn’t stock what we needed. The particular one the plumber choose to put in is a Niagara Flapperless Toilet. This particular one is for either a 10 or 12 inch rough. I posted a link to the website so you can see the bucket contraption that is inside the tank and I stand there and think, that itty bitty amount of water is gonna flush a “mother-lode”?? ALL the way DOWN?? ONE FLUSH??? So I guess we shall see… It also isn’t the “round” shape that I prefer either. Good thing there is a second off the master bedroom. Although those are cramped quarters.

Now I have a broken throne in my garage…any takers? I thought maybe I make a plantar with it. Hubby of course thinks I am out of my mind but the way I see it is this. My neighbors are all the time watching us, and our yard, why not have a conversation piece to talk about?? How about putting it at the end of the gutter for it to drain into? Maybe get Santa sitting on it with some lights for my Christmas decorations? Huh? HUH? HUH? Come on work with me here!!!

The plumber didn’t arrive until after 6pm and left at 8pm. I had to “clean” the bathroom. Hubby was like it can wait till tomorrow. OMG was he out of his cotton pickin’ mind? OH heck no it couldn’t wait. There was brown yucky stuff in my TUB did he wanna sit in it to take his bath? I would think not!

My son is the problem issue with the “throne” and “mother-lodes”, not that we should probably talk about that but the dude gives birth to his poops, its a traumatic thing for not just my son, but for my potty!! So not going to guarantee I won’t be calling Mr. Rooter to say, “umm, the toilet your plumber installed, well I don’t like it and wish to have another style, one that isn’t a tiny bucket inside the tank”. Any takers??? Total cost??? $341.18

How do you MISS THIS??

November 16, 2008

Serious how does ONE wake up in the MORNING and NOT SEE this CRACK in the TOILET TANK??? My daughter, my dad and my son all claim OMG how that get there?? How that happen?? OMG??? OH please!! Someone seen that, no way you walk in the bathroom, turn on the light and miss that S.O.B. Ok…

The toilet has been “acting” up in the filling up after the flush part of the process (it’s such a complicated process you know). My hubby was going to fix that today. (The handle wasn’t broke, it was the fill valve that was sticking as it moved up) So someone didn’t have any patience.

It’s a mystery. I am going to make a guess like in my favorite game of CLUE and say it had to be Raskal, with his paper ball in the lavatory. In all seriousness I think it was my x-na-son-a. He claims still at 10:20 right now this morning he hasn’t gone to the bathroom since LAST NIGHT before bed. OH please… Who is he trying to kid. He claimed to have already done his chores which one is.. are you ready for this? Brace yourself…CLEANING THE TOILET!!! NOW errr no I didn’t, I just said I did. YA think?!? But he did empty the garbage can which sits NEXT to said toilet and yet didn’t see this mysterious crack either?????

So now I am awaiting on Mr. Rooter. We are hoping and praying that the tank can just be replaced and not the entire toilet. We do not have a 12 inch rough, no our house if flipping retarded it, its only 10 in rough and no flipping home improvement store carries those in stock!!! Mr. Rooter doesn’t “charge to come out” They come out and will assess the damage and give us a quote and we can go from there. I been online tracking and prices thrones and with shipping I have a ball park of what it will cost, so if they come within close to that factoring in labor, we may just let Mr. Rooter handle this one if the entire toilet has to be replaced. Let’s just HOPE that we can just get the TANK replaced!!!!
