She's very pretty, congrats! thanks for sharing. It IS funny the positions we put ourselves in to get pix, lol.

I usually try to check my order before leaving but in reality, don't always. And of course you know WHEN the mistake will happen! Mostly, I check to see that, for instance if I order to sandwiches and a fry, I see if there's two sandwiches and a fry in there. On burgers I order just ketchup. Interestingly at Burger King, I've found there's a WAY to say it, to get what you want. Do not say "just ketchup", you need to say "ketchup ONLY". Never a problem since. It's using THEIR lingo. The new thing I've run into is the way they push upsizing. "Small" costs $1.50 more! You have to say "value size". I started saying "whatever size is the price you advertise". I've made them change it more than once. I do like to think that most of these places truly do want to try to make things right when there's a legitimate problem. And yes, if they don't know about it, there's nothing they can do to improve. So we as customers do owe it to them to let them know when there's a problem. You were very reasonable Glenda. Many would be expecting they give them the world for a mistake. Hopefully they can straighten things out and you can return to being a satisfied customer at their establishment. I understand the business's frustration too, what with people threatening all sorts of things and the like. Everyone knows that nobody in their right mind will sue for a burger mishap. But it makes for good laughs at the water cooler. And really, some of these mistakes are just people not paying attention to their job. And that's a big frustration of mine. I don't care if you're a CEO of a gigantic corporation or a floor sweeper in an office. If you don't take pride in your work, you're incompetent. So many of these mistakes are so easily avoided. After all the health issues lately I've been forced to eat out much more. I'm tired of of. Been buying more groceries lately and doing light cooking at home. And appreciating it much more. I'm sure many would laugh at my menus of late but compared to drive through... it's gourmet cuisine!

That little angel couldn't have done anything that bad. That's the same thing I said about our little Great Dane angel when I got home from work one day and saw this...and dh was at home when this happened. I told him he can't just look at a computer and/or tv screen all day and think nothing is going to happen around the house. Sorry about the fan boxes, but we are expecting an electrician one day this week to install them. ( I'm even sorrier about the love seat ) I'm not going furniture shopping until I'm sure he is through eating it. Linda

"Mine has some very pink buds right now, but they look like they didn’t appreciate our recent giant rain storm. " AHHH, now I recognize her from these pictures! Yes, she balls in the rain, and in the damp, and in the cold, and under the eaves, and in morning shade even if she gets sun the other eight to ten hours of the day. In fact she seems to ball any chance she gets. Do I sound bitter? Really, I don't mean to be, but I have her in a highly visible, prime spot and she balls. Did I mention a lot? Sigh. If anybody in TN want's a very healthily vigorous 3-4 year old bare root plant this winter--and has a nice ALL sunny spot for her--just let me know. I just can't take the heart break much longer...
