Being a crappy non-cook has it's advantages... my only spices are salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon, all in their store packages (except the salt) so they look really different. :p
Yuck! I once put cayenne pepper on a waffle instead of cinnamon. It was....interesting.Quote:

I, of course, started petting it. It had a collar and two tags, but the tags had no address. I was busy for a while and the cat took off, but now I feel like I need to go over and check on the cat to make sure it lives across the street in the houses across the street and was not a stray.Quote:

You have wasted his time, been rude to him, and otherwise been a PITA (and he's been without his computer longer than he was actually with it, thanks to your incompetence). You suggested a remedy that would have made him happy (a refund) only to now decide that you can't do that and he'll have to settle for a replacement.
I'm really glad that I know this now - when I replace my current computer in the near future, it will not be with one of your products. I'm also glad his co-workers know this before they make a final selection for their next large order.
Signed,
Caveat Emptor
Dear cordless power tool/outdoor equipment company,
Women actually use your products. My hands are small-ish but not SUPER small. It shouldn't be such a freakin' hassle to reach both sides of the battery at once to disengage the latches from the tool. I'm hoping these batteries last a long time, it p*sses me off when batteries don't last (yes, I'm talking about you, robotic vacuum company), but I surely hope that your next generation of batteries is designed to better accommodate smaller hands.
Dear Marissa at Serfas,
I can't believe how awesome you are. First you entertained my ridiculous request to see if you guys have a long defunct pair of Force 5 sunglasses in clear blue with rose lenses. Then when you didn't find it in the computer, you literally went into the warehouse and dug through boxes of sunglasses until you found a pair. And then you called me back and offered them to me for a 50% discount.
I broke my pair of clear blue Force 5's in a car accident in 2006 and my second pair didn't have the rose lenses but I broke those in 2008 somehow. I guess I just didn't love them as much without the rose lenses. My day is MADE. You are the best. Now I can ride across the USA in some rocking brilliant blue sunglasses, and see properly on cloudy days! THANK YOU. I will send a letter to the company to tell them how awesome you are.
Dear New Landlord:
You rock! And you are an amazing, awesome person (and who I want to be when I grow up). Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity!!
YAY! You really deserved something really positive in your life. Sounds like you got it. :pQuote:

Dear fellow local citizens,
I'm disappointed in all of us. The sample ballot for next week's primary was in the paper today, and, thanks to our closed primaries, there's no reason to show up. Only 2 things will appear on my ballot: I can choose between Pres. Obama and "uncommitted," and between my beloved state senator and a candidate who has withdrawn from the race (and so votes for him will not be counted). That's it. Everyone else, down to city council, is running unapposed. We can do better than this.
I think the sec. of state's prediction of 10% statewide turnout is optimistic... What a way to run a democracy.
skhill, that is just sad isn't it? Although I can see why no one wants to run, I was asked to run for city council about ten years ago, I told them no way in hell. I wasn't about to have my entire life made public in the local press.
God help me, but I live in a county where nearly every single elected official is from one political party. And it's not my party. I won't reiterate the myriad of reasons that I hate where I live, but this is near the top of the list.Quote:
