Online venting is so therapeutic

So sorry to hear about your recent string of bad luck, Roxi! Things like that always tend to come in groups so I am always afraid when the first couple of things happen. The stories I could tell about stuff happening like that! Yikes!
Hang in there!!!
Marcia

Goodness,

Whadda few days you've had.

Good thoughts sent your way.

I love venting, don't you feel better?

At least you've used up all your bad luck, right?

Take care, Donna

Well, the good news is that the builder offered to pay to replace the floor and installation, even though our home is no longer under warranty! What a relief!

Dang, I meant to mention that the company should be liable for the damage as your dishwasher was installed improperly.

Nice that they're being step up individuals.

Glad to hear this is going well for you..perhaps you're on a roll!

Take care, Donna

I believe in karma, which must mean that something SUPER is on its way.

Arrr, if I was you, Roxi, an' I bleev'd in Karma, I think I'd be awonderin' what the heck I did in my last life!

CB, the sympathetic.

"and we all shine on..."

Wow, the hoses weren't connected! That's a pretty goof. Great to hear that they're going to take care of it for you.

So what was the verdict on your husband's thumb?

Later when I have more time, I have a major 'venting session' to shout out about my miseriable UHaul experience Grrrrrrrr!!!

You Moved?

Speaking of venting, my USB cable for my digital camera is done. Nothing, nadda. I ordered one online. So, I'm sitting here on the discussion boards because I can't post.

Ah well, I think I'll just get listings ready to go and upload pics when I receive my cable. Ah...who am I kidding? I probably wouldn't have a whole heck of a lot of time to post anyway this week. I have THREE medical appointments this week--and all are 20 to 30 miles away and one could take up to 4 hours!! Yippee Skippy.

I would be with you on that. U-Haul sucks sucks sucks. In my experience, anyway. It's weird because there's really not that much to the experience of renting a truck and returning it but both times I've used them it's been terrible.

I always avoid people on the roadways who are driving those big ol' U-Hauls. Come on, it's probably the first time they've driven a truck!!

But I have to say, moving stuff is the pits whether it's in a U-Haul or your good ol' brother-inlaw's farm truck. It'll always be terrible.

It might be just be my own personal tastes, but when I smoked my USB cable, the gal at the camera shop talked me into buying a USB card-reader instead. For less money, too. I think it was around twenty bucks.

Anyway, I eventually got another cable because it was a close-out five buck deal, but I hardly ever use it. Yet, I've blessed the simplicity of using that card-reader many times over. And also the camera girl who talked me into it.

Sorry, at least its only the cable. My brand new camera broke. Son bought it for me for christmas have only used it a few times. Uploaded some pictures with it, and didn't unplug it right away (cause I never do) and went to use it the next day and it won't even turn on.

Well, I can't say right nowright nowthat I am having those kind of problems, but, I can tell you that this Monday, the day after Easter, has been terrible!! I have worked very, very hard on a day trip for our Older Singles SS class to go hear Jimmy Carter teach Sundays School at his church in Plains, Ga. Man, I have worked--in fact, I have no listings right now on eBay and only a few elsewhere because of the time that I have spent on this. Yesterday, when I was out-of-town visiting my family for Easter, 3 people in the class, who by the way never participates in anything, decided to call it off. Wow!!!! The Devil has been with me today! I even told the Associate Pastor what I thought of him. This is just not good the day after celebrating our Risen Lord, and, I am still anger about it! This has just about exhausted me--I am going to bed early tonight!! I needed to list today, maybe tomorrow.

cakethings--
I'm sorry to hear about the dishwasher fiasco. My dh works in the appliance dept @ Lowe's and if this happened in his store, Lowe's would be responsible for replacing your cabinets and floor. Call the corporate office. If the delivery person didn't install it property, how is that your fault???

I'm fairly new here but have I got a rant!

My son's birthday was Saturday. My stepfather asked if he could come over for the day. I asked my son and he said sure why not! It was the first time he ever invited my son to come over and we both thought that it would be a nice time. I dropped him off about noon and stepdad wanted him to stay for the day. Around 6 I picked him up, we were going to take him to Texas Roadhouse for a birthday dinner. I had to bring a change of clothes because he was filthy dirty and SUNBURNED. HE HAD MY SON WORK WITH HIM ALL DAY LONG!!!! Can you believe it!! Any other day in the past 13 years and he picks his 13th birthday to bust his a$$. PLUS, as an extra kick in the face, he didn't even give him a freakin' birthday gift!!! Yes, I'm just a wee bit livid, two days after.
Yesterday was Easter, so I told him today we could do whatever he wanted. He wanted to go to the Barnes & Noble Store and I got him 2 books. One on archery and another on cartooning and comics. Then we went to Burger King. We just finished cake and ice cream a bit ago.
I think this whole episode upset me more than my son, but how dare he!!!

Anyway, I feel a bit better now. Thanks for the topic! Quite timely.

This may be obvious, but did you check to see if the battery needs recharging? If you left it connected to the computer and it also happened to be on...

Check out a card reader.
I bought one about 4 years ago and it's made such a difference.
Zip, Bam, Boom...you're done.

I taught another to do eBay last year and she was amazed that such a thing as the card reader existed. <smile>

They're really reasonable in price!

Take care, Donna
