The Kitchen Table

It's Just Me, Angie

13 years ago

Hi. May I join you at the Table? I have been lurking for a long time and have decided to register. I don't want to post for the first time in the middle of a thread, so am introducing myself here to you first. Now that I look at my user name I see that it looks like it has the word "mean" in it! Oh no! It is supposed to be "just me, angie".

Oh well. I hope you will see it the way I meant it. I'm not mean, honest!

I am looking forward to joining in your discussions. Angie

How Fowl! I have a dear friend who owns a pond store and he gets ripped off all the time, cuz he is so nice, people are always wanting a perfect pond and when he builds it, they get him back constantly for stupid things, or they just don't listen to his advice. He is known to be one of the best fish guys on this island, his reputation is superb with "guys" in the biz who know, yet he gets crapped on by nasty customers. I get so mad hearing about it, as his friend(25yrs). But these guys you are talking about can't even tell the diff between a koi and a goldfish??? JERKS! If you have a pond club in your area that you are a part of, make sure you let them know!! They will be out of biz in no time the rate they are going! I feel sorry for all the victims that will buy stuff and it will die and they will be turned off of ponding, just cuz they are buying stuff from these guys. I just went to the local diner and was served a RAW COLD steak!!! Never has that ever happened to me!!! GROSS!!! No excuse! Word of mouth....

Javachik--thanks for posting! This gave me a much needed kick in the pants. And your daughter is beautiful! This thread totally captures my m.o. I considered starting a similar thread a couple weeks ago, but I got distracted.. ;-) Lately, my MBR is the unending 'work in progress.' I spent several months shopping for a new duvet cover, then finally gave up (couldn't find the colors I wanted) and purchased a regular comforter. It took me two months to put the new comforter on the bed & store my old duvet covers. For about a year, I've intended to buy new chairs to replace the wicker chairs at the foot of the bed. I finally ordered some a couple weeks ago, and DH assembled them last weekend. Now I need to work on replacing art in that room. I framed & hung prints over the bed yesterday, but I still need something to put over DH's nightstand. I promised myself that I wouldn't post to this thread until I'd made progress on at least one more task! So that motivated me to do a 'test run' of various framed prints that I have in other rooms to see if anything works in the MBR, and confirmed what I suspected (none of them quite suit the space over DH's nightstand). So I will probably order something tonight. This thread also motivated me to frame one of my uncle's drawings (I bought the frame in September(!) but just ordered a custom mat last weekend). I ordered custom wood blinds for the MBR in November(!), and they're still in the boxes in the sunroom. My goal for today is to decide whether we can hang the blinds ourselves, or whether we will hire a handyman. I couldn't hang them when they first arrived because I had major neck pain in Nov-December, but that subsided in early January, so it's no longer an excuse.

Angie's List ad is driving me up the wall!

Kateskouros, I think I've got a list somewhere that has them all. However, eventually it turned out that as I finessed my ad blocking system that I was missing a bunch of them so could no longer keep track. BUT the ones I could see? I never remember who they are until I see their name somewhere else. For the rest of my life I won't be able to tell you who had the most annoying GW ad... but for that same life every time someone mentions AngiesList I'll think OMG that was the most annoying ad. Somewhat like the groupon superbowl ads...

Is 'Angie's List' worth it?
Q
Comments (15)
Once you find one or two good trades people, you can also ask them to recommend others. That has worked well for us. We joined Angie's list recently because we were going to do a pool remodel. My husband handled that so I don't know if he found it worthwhile, but there was one creepy aspect to Angie's list. A few months after joining, we got a phone call from them soliciting reviews on areas where they need more reviews - the list of what they were looking for started with neurologist, went through a bunch of medical specialties. Quite personal information to ask someone to reveal - I told him that after he had asked about the first few that I wasn't going answer questions about which medical specialists I've used and so he moved on reading the list. The next category wasn't any better and I told him that if I had a review I wanted to post, I'd go to their website and put it in, but I didn't care to spend any more time on the phone with him and didn't want to be quizzed about what services I use.

That's a good idea to re-register now if you don't like the "mean" thing! Welcome to the KT. Glad you are joining in.
