Because you don't work for half the year and can still go to KW?
I need to stay away from people today. I could just b**ch slap somebody right now just because I can!
Wow.......not even out of Florida for 48 hours and I turned back into a bi**h!

I thought grandma's were always happy, cause they can get back at their own children by teaching the grand kids nasty things and sending them back home:biggrinjester:

Barb that just made me laugh so hard, I thought it was only me that felt like that from time to time. yes and I'd be happy all the time if I had BB's life.... back and forth to FL all the time.
I forgot to mention I received my biggest order EVER yesterday, it was for $30,000.00 I sold 310 filters, they are being exported to Iraq to go in a turbine housing. I am dealing with the broker, he has set up a container to be delivered to our factory to pack the filters in. Most of my orders are in the $1,000 range so this was a lot larger than normal. I also just got a $3,150 order so right now I am a happy camper, plus I just had some of my chicken chili for an early lunch.
Now I am heading to Aldi's does anyone have one of their stores in the area. It's a Swedish or German company and the sell good quality private labeled food pretty cheap, you have to bring your own bags, bag your own stuff and you have to put a quarter in the machine to get a shopping cart. The have a sale on mussels and scallops and other seafood. I love their mussels they are frozen in a blister pack in butter or light tomato sauce, it's 16 oz and sell for $2.99, heat it in a pot, open the pouch and pour over some pasta..........delious. Oh well off I go digging for mussels, then I am heading to Rite Aide they have Clois de Bois wine on sale for $7.99, as you can tell I love a good sale:03:

My brothers ex girlfriends son used to manage the Aldis in Marion. We dont have one here so what I'd save, I'd spend in gas to get there A lot of generic stuff is better than their name brand counterparts. I buy Walmart generics all the time (the mac and cheese is awesome and the shells and cheese is way better than the velveeta) My mom is a big fan of the Meijer generics but I rarely shop there... but again ... we dont have one here. Walmart or Kroger ... or Save a Lot ... I do do Save a Lot too :sifone:

No Donna, we all think like that. There are only a handful us that will say it out loud.
Yes we have an Aldi's but I don't shop there because I do have to bring my own bags and bag my own stuff. I'm lazy, even when I can save money (see, another thing people think to themselves all the time, but only a hanful say out loud! :rofl
.Get me some of that Clois de Bois wine. That's cheap! That stuff runs $10-11 a bottle when on sale here. I really like their Cab.

Hey Barb ... wanna take care of Columbia Gas for me? I had no heat on in the big house since I moved in September. Took it off budget ... pay the real bill. November the meter was read and the bill was $30. December was estimated and it says right on the bill that its based on the previous years usage. Bill was $200. I paid $40 and called. They said when the meter was read in January, the bill would be adjusted. Meter read in January, useage bill was $40 but no adjustment for December. I call the beginning of February to have it turned off on sale date and mention that it hasnt been adjusted. They said no problem it will be adjusted when they do the final reading. I get the bill .... no adjustment and estimate on the final... of $150. I call and say NO FREAKIN WAY it cost $150 for 10 days of no heat. The guy said Oops ... it didnt get read... he would send somebody right out and they would adjust it. I get the final bill ... the adjusted it $50 
I call and say how can it cost more to not heat an empty house than it costs to heat the house I am living in. The guy asks me what temp the thermostat is set on and I say off. There is no water, no heat, no nothing in the house and he says too bad, so sad, it is what it is is there anything else I can help you with today. :boxing_smiley:

I am so tired of hearing what service companies won't do versus what they should do. The stupidness nevers ends, does it?
I'm not sure what the problem is today. Everything is getting to me. I hate days like this.

While you're at it, you can call Hamilton Beach appliances and yell at them too. I broke the knob on my crockpot and they want to charge me $11 for a new one - 5 for the part and 6 for the shipping. I think that's ridiculous. I can buy a new crockpot for just a few more bucks!
Plus there's other companies that are so much easier to deal with. My mom got me a nightstand from Good will (yes she loves to junk shop). It was still in the box and came from Target. I went to put it together and noticed one of the sides had a crack in it. I emailed the company and told them what product number it was. They sent me a brand new side of a nightstand for free and no shipping charge! And Hamilton Beach won't even send me a little freaking knob to go on a crock pot!

You have a handy "hubby." He can:
A) find a similar knob that is a little loose and put a wedge and some super glue in it.
B) fix the broken knob.
C) find a similar crock pot on ebay and buy the whole thing for 5 bucks, stockpiling extra parts in case of additional reasons to hamilton beach.
D) Make a new, better knob. Perhaps billet?
E) Bust out the micro-vice grips.
