Have you ever bought something over the internet...
Comments (23)I recently ordered a CD from comedienne Jessica Kirson and finally notified her four weeks after my order that I had received nothing. She wrote back herself saying that she had mailed the CD to me and asked if sending a replacement would be satisfactory. I told her it would and that she probably has a new fan somewhere in Los Angeles, since the post office never delivered the package to me. I'll let you know if I ever actually receive the CD, but if you get a chance to see her, she's hilarious. I had also ordered some rug cleaner from a web site recommended by Diana when I wanted to get the smell of dog urine out of the carpet in my bedroom, and I initially ordered two bottles. However, they only sent me one bottle, and so I had to call to complain, and the woman in Shreveport said, "Oh, lawdy mercy, I've just hired some temporary help, and they are just not working out!" and promised to send me the second bottle. Two weeks later I still had not received the replacement, and so I sent her an email, and within a week I received the second bottle. I felt I got decent service from her, and I could sympathize with her plight as a small business owner. I do get peeved if I do not receive an order acknowledgment, but I would not expect to get a discount that was offered after I had purchased something. For me, it is not worth the bother and not really valid. However, if someone lies to me, I will cut them no slack. Fortunately, I am not going through menopause and do not require that product. When I was younger, I would have asked for the discount. Lars Here is a link that might be useful: Jessica Kirson...See MoreDid you ever have a check you sent get lost in the mail?
Comments (15)Once a friend of mine sent me a Christmas gift but it never came, until 6-9 months later! It was a homemade fruitcake. I was swapping with Kiwi who's in New Zealand and my package never got to her. Weeks later it showed up back at my house, pretty mangled. I had to resend it to her. I've had a few Netflix movies disappear when I mailed them back. I was putting them in my mailbox and putting the flag up but I only did it very rarely, usually I drop them in the drive thru mail drop in front of our post office. So, I got kinda suspicious that everytime I left them in our mailbox here at the house they would turn up missing. I quit doing that, in fact I only put mail that doesn't belong to me out there anymore. Then about two months ago I was leaving work and dropped my Netflix movies in a curbside box in Lexington and one turned up missing again. I hate getting the ex's mail. He's never lived in my house and I just find it really annoying that they are sending his crap to me....See MoreWhat is the most valuable item you have ever found?
Comments (20)definately my husband. found him, tatty and discarded, sitting on the curb after he'd been dumped by a girl who wasn't fit to serve him drinks. he's been priceless ever since :) but stuff? I paid a buck for a yard 'and a bit' of relatively modern Fortuny fabric - orange, with a white over-print in a flower-and-urn pattern. covered ten switchplate covers with it for my house, two small photo albums, one of which I sold for $40, the other I gave to the lady who taught me to recognize good fabric...and the remaining yard's worth a hundred bucks or so. paid a buck for a piece of Haegar (?) pottery for a friend - apparantly, the purple and blue stuff is rarer than the blue and green glazes? and this spring, I found a little pen and ink sketch in a pile of much better art work. ugly little thing, of a guy in sunglasses and a loud shirt. thought it looked familiar, paid $10 for it, figuring to frame it for a friend who's a huge Hunter S Thompson fan. turned out not to be such a friend, in the end...but the sketch was for real, and earned me half a mortgage payment....See MoreHave you ever (or did you want to)?
Comments (22)Lukki, my DIL's kitchen is the same. She's not a cook but will bake brownies or banana bread once in a while. It makes me crazy to try to cook something for my grandson when I'm babysitting. It's a large, square kitchen with good counter space and storage, but there is no island, so it's like 9 or 10 ft from one side of the kitchen to the other. The work triangle is HUGE, lol. There are 2 lazy susan corner cabinets, kitty corner from each other. The one closest to the stove, where there is a microwave on the counter and a tiny bit of counter space, holds all the baking ingredients and some misc pieces. Kitty corner, on the side where the sink is, where there is one full counter run with nothing but the stand mixer on it, has all the pots and pans. OMG. Totally backwards from the most efficient arrangement. I do all I can to avoid having to cook there. Funny thing is, she'd be totally fine with me suggesting a different arrangement, but I don't want her to feel self conscious or bad that I noticed that....See More- 9 years ago
