Sears will not like me in my most unhappy state.

Don’t flatter yourself. They are used to seeing people in their most unhappy states. Yours will probably not be the first full-on, bona fide hissy fit that they encounter today.
About ten years ago, Sears was incapable of delivering a dryer to us that wasn’t dented or scratched. On their third attempt, DH went out to the truck to inspect the thing and he sent them off with it as well as the washer that they delivered earlier in the week. We wound up buying the set from Best Buy.
ETA: wow…they actually delivered and you seem happy. What did you get?
gotti I don’t scream, yell, and cuss. I am very even tempered but I WILL let them know in no uncertain terms of my displeasure. This is a trait I inherited from my father. As far as the washer and dryer, nuttin’ fancy but they are a little bigger than my last set. I knew they would fit in the same space cause I measured carefully before I bought. The laundry room rug is back, the door is back, the hamper is back and a load of whites is bein’ washed as I post. All this excites me. How sad is that!
I worked, I got a haircut. Now I’m watching hockey and making dinner(jerk chicken, ghost pepper quinoa, and tossed salad with garlic paprika vinnegrette.)
I have the least Irish customer base in raleigh. But the line at the Likker Sto was out the door all day on New Year’s Eve. But I was thinking about me.
The plan was to cook the steak yestidy & take the leftovers for lunch today. However, there was extra food from some other meeting yesterday (which means what I was going to eat got saved to eat today) & on my ride home I almost literally bumped into a friend, we stopped to gather up his wife & her friend & all rode home. They invited me over for pizza. Yay! Two free meals in one day!
So I was going to cook the steak tonight but I just got home from running (& the taco truck wasn’t there tonight). I am both starved & tired so I’m not going to eat steak @ 11pm. Instead it was something frozen & buy lunch tomorrow. Oh well.
One friend had his puppy there. We rassle. I grab puppy’s snout & shake, so he tries to (softly) bite me, so I grab his snout & shake, so he tries to… Friend scolded me because while he realizes we’re playing, he doesn’t want puppy to learn bad habits & mouth someone else. Later his wife pulls me aside & tells me that hubby doesn’t know, but she does exactly what I was doing all the time with puppy.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 61 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85 and partly cloudy for the day. Irk this mornin’ then the cookin’ of corned beef this afternoon plus some other prep stuff for tomorrow’s big feast. I live it up, do I not?
OK, that’s all I got for now. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then purtification for irk etc must commence. Oh well, at least it’s Firday.
Just to say, I have no stake in the store, except the extreme enjoyment of it’s products. I’m glad that a local store like this is making a go of it’s business. The first time I saw it years ago, it was the fancy caramel chocolate apples in the window that caught my eye.
We could have a Dopefest in Topeka and make a pilgrimage there.
**Swampy ** I wish I had your couth. I lost mine years ago.
I need to learn to chill out.
I have to go to the armpit this weekend and that is not helping my mood at all. Well, I don’t have to go, but we are expected. I haven’t been there since January so I should go. I’m going to try to get over to visit my friend while I’m down there.
We’re supposed to bring stuff back with us but it’s supposed to rain all weekend so those plans may change.
I need to talk to the post office I think, and ask them to stop delivering mail that is not addressed to me or Sah-son. I opened another letter not addressed to me. Different name this time and whoever she is, is lucky I am honest. It was a netspend card, ready to be activated, said it is direct deposit, and the letter included all of the woman’s banking information. I called netspend, they cancelled the card and asked me to cut it up - which I did - and shred the letter.
It concerns me though, because netspend is a new kind of card, so why would somebody order a netspend card and send it to the wrong address?
So, Happy Firday!
It’s not going to be as warm today. Only getting up into the 60s.
I was at a Pepperhead event where they had this stuff that was rated as a food additive because basically it would kill you if you consumed it alone. It came in this black bottle inside a little pyramid and was made as distinctive as possible just to prevent accidents. Four drops added to a 3 gallon pot of whatever would kick the heat level up roughly 750 scovilles. It wasn’t just Ghost but a very concentrated extract of Ghost.
That is just to set up just how stupid I am.
Several of us, including your truly, just had to see what it was like in the “do not ever try this” manner. We put a toothpick in this stuff and then put the toothpick on our tongues. Unlike some of my friends I didn’t pass out or vomit but the pain level was such that I can recall it in detail as I type this. And among some of the most extreme pepperheads in the country, not one (even on a dare with cash on the line) would do a second one. I got some hot sauces; some that the OW won’t even touch the bottles. I’ve made food you have to handle with rubber gloves. But I don’t even want to know where you can get this crap - I’ll save that level of Hell for the afterlife.
Howdy Y’all! Irk is finished and I am at da cave for a little while before headin’ over to the church house. I shall assist with prep but am leavin’ it up to others to deal with cookage to day. I do not want to hang around and watch brisket turn into corned beef. I got other stuff to do. Dindin will be chikin nachos cause that’s what I have a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for and OYKW will not turn down chikin nachos.
Good morning!! Barely! We’ve been breakfasting and erranding. I’ve got a new watch battery, **FCD **got an oil filter for his bike, and we picked up my new glasses. Life is good!
The Last on-line training I’ll ever have to do in this job is completed, so my boss is happy (it keeps the Business office off his case) and I feel like MLK: Free at Last!!
Sari, I’ve had so many 12-15 hour plane trips in my life (Chicago-Tokyo, Detroit-Tokyo, Atlanta-Dubai, Chicago-Abu Dhabi, Sydney-Dallas) that I should be used to them…and I guess I am, the big trick is to start adjusting early to the new time zone(s) you’ll be in so the jet lag doesn’t kick your butt too badly. Would be nice if I could afford Business Class (I’m doing well, but not THAT well), but even in cattle car you get your own private screen and usually 20-30 movies to choose from.
Rain Yesterday, rain predicted for today, rain for Saturday in forecast. A wet Blurf to you all.
