Home Depot Hires the Handicapped

While you may think that it is a good thing to help the mentally disabled, it is a severe trial to do business with a company fully staffed with total retards. I had the unmitigated joy of buying carpet from them, which I strongly caution you the reader to avoid at all costs!!

Here is the scenario:

1. I buy some carpet that is reduced because it is the end of the role and arrange for the HD people to come out and measure my house so that I can buy the rest of the carpet and have them install it.

2.) A week and a half later they show up to measure.

3.) Time passes without them calling as they advertised.

4.) I go to the store to try and buy the carpet for the rest of the house, the inexpensive padding, and arrange installation.

4.) Time passes at the store - about an hour. Short story, they want me to bring back the carpet that I already bought so that I can prove that I am buying all of the carpet from them for the install.

5.) I go get the carpet. Bring it back. Try to buy it again along with more carpet and some cheap padding.

6.) time passes - 1-1/2 hours.

7.) After re-doing the bill 3 times because they have to make it for 2 different carpets, they managed to screw up which parts got which carpet, which padding they were supposed to be selling me, and how to apply a coupon for 10% off (padding is apparently not a product in their eyes even thought they sell it by the square foot), speaking to 3 different associates (you can take off the last 7 letters of that word), I finally arranged to leave while they were gnashing their teeth over another re-do and having forfeited the clearance price on the second piece of carpet in the interest of getting home before I died of malnutrition.

I am convinced that the chances of them managing to arrange a time to install this carpet, bring out the right products in the correct quantities, and get it installed on the floor without setting the house on fire or gluing it to the ceiling, is about 0%.

I need to caution you friends to avoid this experience. Install tile, clean existing carpets, pay 500% the going rate to get someone else to do it. But do not under any circumstances attempt to buy carpet and installation from Home Depot. They are a great bunch of humanitarians, but they should never ever ever be relied upon for any service of any sort.

If however you have someone you truly hate, and long to see driven insane, please send them there with your recommendation. I guarantee you will be pleased with the results!

How about a new picture while I am at it?

New way

Dangerous as this may be because it makes sense.

I suggest instead of elections we have gigantic Sim City battles and whoever wins by November takes the Govenor's spot. The winner will have obviously shown that they have what it takes, and all of the losers test out on harmless pretend persons instead of ourselves and our friends and family.

Actually I see no down side and think we could drum up a grass roots support for the concept. Not only that but no one would have to watch any more crap promises on TV anymore. We can just see news bites on who is leading in the tournaments instead of the polls.

What do you think?

Maybe I can develop a new set for the task, the city, county, state and national versions for politicians. Could be the ticket to wealth and power. LOL

If I went bad I could also sell the cheats to the highest bidder.

Been Awhile...

...since I was here on my blog. Comerica stole my soul for 2-1/2 months. Oh well. I am back now, but traveling a bit so don't expect a miracle here. LOL

Having a great time in Florida and I got the sunburn to prove it LOL. Three more days down here and then I am back to see what they have been doing in Michigan with the weather. I hope that they have quit screwing around with the snow by now, as it is almost May.

Today we (Pamela and I) are going to Myakka River State Park which is a low cost expedition to an area that embodies the real Florida, or at least what the real Florida used to be. http://www.myakkariver.org/ It is about an hour drive from where we are staying with my friend Linda. It is chock a block with alligators and birds and wild pigs etc.

Yesterday we went to MOSI because it was sorta rainy and were pleasantly surprised to find that we showed up on free day. it was a little crowded because of it, but still a nice way to spend the day. http://mosi.org/ Basically we just wanted to go to an IMAX theater. They have one of the domed ones there which I think are way cooler than the regular big flat screens and saw "Hurricane" which was pretty interesting. Also they had big exhibits on sea, and bodies, and natural disaters, plus a butterfly house. Found out that my heart rate was 64 and blood pressure was 120/72 so I guess this wild living that I do must be good for ya.

Too boring to post

Well you guys should all send me some cash. I could probably make a great case for being paid not to blog, seeing as pretty much everything that I have to say is intensely boring these dayz.

The good news is that must mean that life can't be too bad. Every time I have much interesting to say, it generally indicates that I am living through a disaster. This apparently brings out the writer in me.

So three cheers for nothing to blog. Huzzah!

Answer me these questions three...

I the help of persons that date or are interested in men.

Could you annswer whichever of the questions you feel moved to, and could you please pass this link on to anyone that you know, for them to do the same?

I would appreciate it. (Please keep it clean)

I am collecting data for an exciting new idea (to me anyway) and I need input from everyone.(no limit on responses for any given question.)

I will post tablulations of answers as soon and as often as possible.

1.) What are THE things you love most to find in a guy?

2.) What things have you been surprised to find out about a guy you have dated? (good and bad)

3.) What things do you hate to see in a guy?

OK there are more than 3 questions. So sue me.

4.) What kind of guy do you like physically?

5.) What profesions do you find intriguing for a guy to be in?

6.) Preference to race, age, intellect, etc...?

7.) What is the most romatic thing you can think of?

Going crazy in 2nd level support

Today I have only had things that start with the letter B for Breakfast.

Bacon
Bagel
Beverage

Now I am wondering what I can have for Lunch…

I may have to switch from the breakfast lunch dinner model, to the breakfast, dinner supper model if I get stuck.

I need a more challenging job over here I guess.

Question of the day - no cheating

Why is there an apostrophe in the possessive? Like Linda's photos?

The English language being totally nonsensical (probably because it was invented by a bonehead like a certain administrator) originally had the syntax of:
Mark, his wiener dog, left a big turd on Bob, his porch, again.

The rank and file would have none of that however and contracted out all of the stupidity.
