AlwaysWatching's Daily Thoughts

I know what store you're talking about! Hahahahaha! I bought my PC from the same store.

One day to get a MAIL-IN rebate? Yeah, right!

I'm with you, Just list the price...no gimmicks...no BS.

I hope everything turns out all right with hubby! He's probably telling them a thing or two, and rightfully so.

Hi Onyx, I am so glad to see you here! I was afraid you might have left for good..I left you a message on one of your blogs..dont remember which one..It was a long one about raceism...look at me I cant even spell it..HAHAH...
Yes Hubby had a ball, telling the clerk to stick it..Of course he did it politely..He is so sweet..I doubt he even raised his voice...Sure am glad I didnt have to do it..I would have lost my cool...I cant stand people who treat other people like they are stupid or something..I am Always Watching cause I dont want to loose my temper...HAHAHAHA

I haven't had any problems with Fry's. We have gotten decent products. I have more of an issue with Circuit City. They do lie and they don't stock enough products when they run specials.

I don't care much for Fry's either. I think the traffic is so horrible in that area, sometimes takes a long time to get in and out of there.

I feel for you, AW. Rebates are a joke for the most part. A few years back, when I got my eyes examined and was going to order new contact lenses through my practitioner, they talked me into buying this specific brand, I think it was Ciba or something like it, instead of the Accuvue that I really wanted. They were less expensive, and offered a $40 rebate, so I ordered the lesser brand and sent off the required items (receipt, UPC code, completed form, etc) and waited for several weeks. They said it would take 6 to 8 weeks, and after about four months of waiting and no rebate check, I called the company, which had apparently gone out of business and referred me to the company which had bought them out. After several calls to the company, one of their reps finally called me back and said my request for rebate had "gotten lost in the mail" during the transition, and did I keep duplicate copies of the required information. Which I told them I did not, because I didn't see the need to. I was informed that if I could not provide that information I would not be getting a rebate check. I was so hacked, I called my eye doctor's office and told the office manager about my predicament and asked for help. Well she made a few phone calls for me, and within a few weeks, I had a rebate check. In all, it took me about 6 months (and several phone calls) to get that rebate check. Was it worth it? Well I'd have to say no, because on top of

Happy 4th of July to you to Onyx and everyone else. Thanks for the heads up on the click click clicking thing..it was getting a bit much! HAHAHA...
Well you all guessed it, my hubby is now on a new course for finding the right product. He knows not to look for rebates or extended warranties (and knows not to wait until after the 4th, when the stores will obviously go up, before school starts).
Dang, I just got tired of trying to shop and keep up with this sale and that sale..Salesmen trying to sell you crap you dont want or need. I hate to shop anymore..hubby does it for me..I get what I need and leave. I dont even look from store to store. I know what store has my size, color, etc. If they ever change I am screwed big time.. if I gain anymore weight, I am screwed too, I wont be able to shop there either-Heheehe As far as glasses, I can write a big book on that rip off..Scratch resistance my azzzzzzz...ALL of the EYE Stores are a rip off. Sounds like to me the highly educated Con-Companies are about to educate themselves out of business ..Guess they will have to figure out a new angle..like terrorist..they have to keep a step ahead to catch you off your guard. I am Always Watching...And dont trust any of them...

I think the worst ones are cell phones. They make you jump through hoops and turn in receipts and forms and THEN when the phone doesn't work-as did happen with my son's new phone-they prorate the amount you get in return. What a crock.

I hate Fry's because I can never find anyone to help.

I also hate the cell phone bundle deal. A friend was looking for a phone she saw in the paper and was told she only got that package if she got the add ons which she didn't want. The sales guy (with a thick accent) told her she could buy the phone then cancel the stuff she didn't want. I told her to buy phone, walk out the door, come back in and cancel. He told us that would not look very good. She told him she didn't care how it looked, but she wasn't going to buy his phone anyway.

I'm New to blogggging - new to registering - new to pressing a lot of keyboard keys ....but i have turned lots of keys. Which reminds me, if toilets flush to the left ...do keys initially require being turned to the right?
Already, I am impatient of pressing buttons therefore have forgotten my original reason to blog. But now, what now......why is this web pages' own in-house spell check red lines the spelling of blog, blogg, blogs , blogging, bloug, bloge, bolg, no matter how you spell it?
Isn't that (ironicism) and wasn't the spelling of "car" and "computer" correct after their introduction into society. Maybe, TruBlu or better yet, the "myfox" webmaster can give some insight to this.
But now second to my original reason again and directed toward Always Watching, you have pictures of several different cats and wet ones at that (the Discovery channel may need to think about replacing those crab guys) so assumption is that you have more than adequate knowledge of their character and behavior. Question: any advice from experiences, on grooming a long thick haired orange usually hot July cat with a "lions cut". Some character of this cat with two prior attempts to be cut was 5 minutes with hurricane Daisey at category 5. A lot of self-projecting swirling fur but not a single hair could be nipped. Otherwise, the most lovable, mellow, and mannerly considerate cat and why not.......being a male cat named Daisey........and neutered.

Maybe to return with that original BLOG posting if eye remember.

I work in the rebate department, and yes the sales rep should have informed him of the deadline. And the reason he could not discount by 50 was more than likely due to it being a manufacturer rebate. And on some you also have the ability of doing it online. Also for a fact, alot of rebate departments have a 7 day grace period. Good luck!!

I have never been in a fryes and now I will never be ia a fryes. I still with Wal Mart they sell everything I need and they are now selling Dell products.
