Local yard sale on FB is fun to watch – especially when the prices are right – but once in a while you have people asking for prices that I would sell the exact things for in a store – so it’s no longer a yard sale find.  These set of Guitar Heroes and games are a good find – unfortunately, I already have too many of the same items in my store – else I would definitely buy it.  As a store owner I can’t afford to pay so much for stuff – but if I was buying it for myself – definitely a great deal.  So when people come in and sell stuff to me – and I quote them a certain amount – and they don’t like it – they really don’t have to sell it to me but instead they choose to be ignorant and call me a rip off.  While I don’t really care about what I’m being called – the spouse on the other hand is different – she wants to smack them for being rude and having no upbringing at all. She said that people like that back her hometown are called kids with a mom but no dad around – therefore – they don’t get taught properly.  Some whipping would do these people good she said.  LOL!

I need a special umbrella – not just your ordinary one.  One that doesn’t break on me – when it’s pouring cats and dogs – one that doesn’t flip inside out – and embarrass the hell outta me in the middle of the road.  But to pay $80 USD for an umbrella – mannnn! it hurts!  but if people can pay $60 for a game – why not an umbrella – the spouse asked me.  I don’t want to be cheap – I would gladly pay $35 for an umbrella – but $80 – wow!!  But the Blunt Umbrella had been tested and proven to withstand wind up to 117 km/h – so yes! because of that I’m ordering one for Christmas for myself.  This umbrella better last me a lifetime ! haha!

A very annoying knife – and I won’t even think of giving it to my enemy !  very annoying !  this knife screams out sounds of a cow, a pig and various animals  – and even a broccoli but actually of someone asking you not to cut them up.  The knife even cries for you when you cut onions and plays a victory jingle  when you slice into birthday cake. You can even record your own custom sounds for special occasions. Cutting the wedding cake? A man screams.   Annoying as hell !  but if you want to annoy someone – that bad – get them at $29.99 from ThinkGeek.  Check out the video and you will know what I mean by being annoying.

Yes! it’s true i see – Borders who employs more than 10,000 employees was forced to shut down and liquidate – no one to bail them out so I heard.   What a shame eh?  I do like that bookstore – but there wasn’t much business in any of them – truth be told – I don’t even know hwo they managed to survive that long.

New hinges, handlesets and a stronger chain to keep the lid from opening all the way back should do the trick. If they break it again I’m sending pictures and a bill to the town hall.

For someone who plays Cafe World on facebook for a long time now – i know they said that Cafe World is still on beta – but they keep changing things every few days – this morning – i found that they changed the menu too.  Mannn!!  they really have to give it a break  – it’s disrupting when you are already used to the old pictures and the way things were going – so this time with the new menu – you can see the Cafe Points you earned in total when you cooked the said food – but really – does it matter?  Not to me though – !  usually i just check out the hours needed that suits my need – and the amount of CW coins i can earn and that’s about it.   What about you?  anyhow – enough of talk about Cafe World – i just hope they stop changing things again and again – plus it just mess up the game when one is trying to play.  Ok – i’m going to get my weight loss products before the store closes.

So we just bought a netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it  – we are so used to our Windows Vista in our old netbook – we find that the Starter comes with limitations.  You see you can’t even change it’s wallpaper for one and you can only run concurrent applications on a PC at a time (this excludes background processes such as anti-virus applications, wireless and Bluetooth, and system tools like Explorer and Control Panel).  So yes – i don’t know what we are planning to do with it – but i’m stopping my rant here to run out and get some natural prenatal vitamins for my best friend.  But an upgrade is most likely to happen anytime soon – i’m going to have to read up more on it.

I don’t even want to get started but some people are just a pain and definitely need some Acneticin. Why? they are not only crooks but they are crooks that are so ignorant – you really wanna smack them. A crook rented a game from us a month ago and instead of returning it and pay up his lates – he told us that he was going to keep the game for free – since he didn’t want to pay his lates. Today he was online selling our game that he had stolen on a yardsale. Of course, we stopped him – informing everyone that they didn’t belong to him. He had the cheek to call us to say that he called the cops on us???!!!?? the crook who stole from us calling the cops on us – WHAT IS THE WORLD BECOMING? The crooks are bolder than us? how ignorant this crook is.

So the next day I got an email saying that they’ve located my TV and it’s on its way to Halifax and will arrive there on Monday Feb. 5. I should be receiving it Tuesday Feb. 6. I have no idea what calender they are using because Mon/Tues is Feb. 1st and 2nd. so I hope it’s this week and not next, this has dragged on long enough. They also are refunding the cost of the shipping to compensate me for all the trouble and delays. I think I deserve more than that, but I’ll take what I can get.

I bet I could take that Orlando vacation I’ve been planning, come back 3 weeks later and STILL not have my new TV. Oh and get this, he says if I haven’t heard back by Monday that he will change the delivery escalation to a credit escalation so I can get my money back. Fat lot of good that will do though since it was paid mostly by gift cards, I can’t just take my money elsewhere. And now there’s also no chance of getting such a good deal like they had during boxing day. A 52″ LCD for $1199? Doubt that’ll happen again until next Christmas. Yay for me, I get to just keep on waiting!

God damn this shit is getting on my nerves. Much more of this and I’ll be needing a dose of anti wrinkle treatment to get rid of stress lines. And I’m generally a stress free kind of guy!

I called those fuckers at Futureshop, again, to see where my order is. I got the same answers as last time.. ‘oh let me look into that’, ‘strange I don’t understand why it’s taking so long’, blah blah blah fucking bullshit. I mentioned again how my order status says “successfully shipped” but yet they told me on the phone that the order is still sitting in their warehouse. That doesn’t make sense. So the girl on the phone told me that since I’m in a remote area and need it sent by ‘special delivery’, my order has been shipped from their warehouse to the delivery company’s warehouse. Thus the ‘successfully shipped’ tag.

Ok, that’s fine, I thought to myself. And I asked, so who exactly is this delivery company that has my stuff? What’s taking so long? Are they waiting until more people from my ‘remote’ area place orders so they can do us all at once? “No” she assured me, it doesn’t work like that. Then she looked and said to me something like “the area on here that should have the delivery company name is blank”. So they have no idea WHO has my stuff! Unbelievable!

Now my problem has been re-escalated to their shipping department to try and find out what’s going on and I should hear back in 24 to 48 hours. Lovely.
