Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Greetings to all you Stilligans The holidays are taking their toll I see. Seems many of us feel the worst during the holidays..stress perhaps. Just thinking about all the things we SHOULD and would like to be doing and can't can cause that old dragon to " flame on " ! Try not to obsess over things you can't change, and be thankful for what we/you DO have. We could all be at the " resort " ..man would the medicos be making a killing were that true. Speaking of the " resort " I haven't heard from Elly's hubby, so I'm going on the " no news is good news " theory. To the keybored lol. Three weeks ago I went to Staples and bought a new keyboard, a black one. Brought it home and when I tried it out the " e " would work intermittently. So, I took it back. There were no others left, so I bought a white one ( which I didn't want really) for $19.95 ( yea big spender me) I asked if they were going to get any black ones in? They didn't know. I had reason to go back to Staples for a new phone..there was the keyboard I'd purchased on sale for $9.95. SO, home I go get my bill, return to the store, get my 10 bucks. Still got the crappy white keyboard, again I ask plaintively " will you be getting any black ones in soon? " She replies " maybe, but not sure " I needed a pencil sharpener, so back to Staples, where I get my sharpener and spy BLACK keyboards. I grab one up, afraid to go home and get the receipt and the ugly white keyboard. Get home, hook the black one up,wheeeeeee, and the keys all worked..but..( if you're paying attention) they owe me 10 bucks when I return the ugly white keyboard. Today, I enter the store with Five receipts, and tell my story, she gets confused, calls a manager..I relate the story again, then tell them both that the bottom line is they owe me 10.00 plus tax...when they take back their ugly white keyboard...it took a moment or so, but the manager ( thats why they have manager on their pins) GOT IT! So,here I am, after many many visits to the store, and reams of receipts typing to y'all on my new black keyboard.....( owners of white keyboards don't take it personally) Wheeeeeeew that was alotta work! Everyone take care smiles and regards Cat --------------------------------- Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
