You have to out weenie them. Call the billing department 3 times a day until it is resolved (Just like they are about to do to you). Tell them you are filing suit for harassment if this is not resolved immediately! To bad you cannot sue stupidity.

HI Mikey,
Your right! but the problem is it's a crazy circle. Billing only handles payments according to what their computer says... so they tell me I have to talk to customer service.. who tells me that they can't help me because the store I returned stuff to has no record, but I have printed receipts.

I will go into the store on Sunday and hash it out again! I would much rather have an audience than over the phone anyway.

I WILL do a good job of making them look very stupid in front of customers, and let them know at that time court is an opton.

The majority of the bill is for the internet that I don't have and will not pay. And if they disconnect me before it is resolved, yes, court it will be.


Tightwad~ You are so right! I worked retail for 15yrs and this nonsense makes me nuts!! And when you get mad, the wimps put you on hold and hide! They can't do that if i'm in the store. he he....

Tracy~ I love what you did to your X !! ROFL!! Smart girl you are!

I'll keep my eyes open for a blue drum. I used to have a bunch, in OK.

Thanks!

It'll be the main housing for the plucker. I'd like to use a fresh one as they get brittle with sun & age.

I found a video using a washing machine and the fingers on the outside, on the drum, rather than the inside like the whiz bang plucker. It was pretty slick. Joe said it would be really easy. He posted it to his Jeep forum and had about 150 comments on it. Those Jeep guys loved watching chickens getting plucked in a washing machine!

Found another funny video:

Found a tick on my Papillon this morning. I need to go get some citronella shampoo. I'm considering Frontline. I guess I need to shred the brush pile and dust the whole yard with diatomeaceous earth. This winter, I'm planning to put down beneficial nematodes. That should also help with the few grasshoppers and squash bugs that I have.
I really think all my desert cardinals and praying mantis keep things in balance. I also apparently have a group of love birds or parrots, although I rarely see them.

Death to ticks!

"Note to self:

Don't piss of Tracy!"
I had 18 years of serious piss-off to make up for. It would be really hard for anyone else on this entire planet to make me that mad.

Oh, yes. This winter, grapefruit canning! I really want a batch of pretty, ruby red grapefruit sections in cans!
Really, I'm sooo hard to make angry. You can't believe what it takes to push me over the edge.

Well, sometimes I get a little crabby, especially when my patients are I'll-mannered, disrespectful homies from South Phoenix and I won't do what they tell me to do.

Oh, forget to tell everyone what happened last night at agility class in Chandler. We have class at Pomeroy Elementary School. Some teenagers were "playing" in the park and got into a fight. They beat the living daylights out of this young teenager, the smallest one in the group. One of our instructors called for an ambulance and police. Somebody asked if there were any attack dogs in the group.of course, everyone looks at my Doberman, who is on full alert. I'm like, uh, no.
My Doberman was not letting those boys come over that fence and close to me. No way! She didn't say anything but she was as tense as a rock. Good girl!

We went back to doing agility and she acted like nothing happened. She's such a good kid.

Anyone have an incubator they're wanting to get rid of/sell/etc...? I know, I know...ridiculous question

Anyone have "plans" on how to build one? That actually works?

Thanks

I would just go insane if they were in my house. Yuck! I've not used preventatives since I lived in OK and fleas/ticks were terrible. Even there, I was able to back off, once my guinea population took over.
Unfortunately, I only keep the chickens on one side, since my papillon likes to retrieve my Banty hens. So, the other side is unprotected.
I wish I could convince the neighbor not to spray. I think the spraying is making the problem worse, sort of like taking antibiotics for a yeast infection.

You should see my 6 pound papillon retrieve my 1 pound Banty hen. She gets in big trouble, all the time I'm LMAO!

Yep, on all accounts. The trees look great, they just don't have a lot of fruit. I seem to remember something about the blossoms getting blown off but my memory is fuzzy of that time.

My FIL always has great lemons, but all of the blossoms/small fruit were taken out in a bad storm, he doesn't have any lemons this year.
