    Rebates

    I purchased the 1st part I need in preparation of building my own computer.  I got the case for $5 after a $50 rebate.   My friend MW warned me about the company who is giving the rebate, he's had trouble with them.  I'll gamble, anyway.  I really hate rebates, they take 6-12 weeks to get your money, IF they even send it.  I think I'll do something about this:
     
    IIWK.... No more rebates, subtract the rebate amount from the retail price, and announce it as a special sale price.
     
     
     
     
     
    Did everyone see the 2 faced kitty on the news?  It was born with four eyes, two noses, two mouths and two tongues. 

     

     

    I noticed that Ford has bombarded the airways with a TV commercial featuring the American Idol winner.  I always wonder why companies have celebrities in their commercials.  I have never ever bought a product, because it was advertised by famous person, and never will.  How many people do you think rushed out to buy a Ford, after hearing a song sung by the American Idol winner?  I'd say NONE!  Why waste their money on this advertising gimmick? 

     

     

    A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check.

    When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?" He replied, "That would be fine with me."

    Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

     

     

     

    A wedding occurred just outside Cavan in Ireland.

    To keep tradition going, everyone gets extremely drunk and the bride's and groom's families have a storming row and begin wrecking the reception room and generally kicking the shit out of each other. The police get called in to break up the fight.

    The following week, all members of both families appear in court. The fight continues in the courtroom until the judge finally brings calm with the use of his gavel, shouting, 'Silence in court!'

    The courtroom goes silent and Paddy, the best man, stands up and says,
    'Judge, I was the best man at the wedding and I think I should explain what happened.'

    The judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand. Paddy begins his explanation by telling the court that it is traditional in a Cavan wedding that the best man gets the first dance with the bride.

    The judge says, 'OK.'

    'Well,' said Paddy, 'after I had finished the first dance, the music kept going, so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music kept going and I was dancing to the third song, when all of a sudden the groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the bride an unmerciful kick right between her legs.'

    Shocked, the judge instantly responded, 'God, that must have hurt!'

    'Hurt?' Paddy replies. 'He broke three of my fingers!'

    Now there's a Chinese word worth remembering! <grin>
     
    Thanks for the rebate law.  I think the mail in rebate idea must have been some government idea to create jobs.  It is just so illogical to have to pay staff money to send money back to customers you overcharge in the first place. 
     
    Have a great week K.T.!

    Oh, what a poor cat! I wonder how long can it survive?

    How are you, KT? I just came back from a long journey in the southwest of China.

    Nothing would be worse to fall ill during the trip, but I still enjoyed the sceneries.

    Take care!

    Of course I use FireFox...

     

    Much more SECURE than Windows. Also who really cares how spaces "look" on it. Newsflash.The way these things are set up isnt the way people blog. I barely read them anymore as inm tired of my system freezing because of tons of animated gifs and music playing nonstop.

     

    Use Mozilla if you want security.

    You're lucky you don't have the humidity that we get so you don't notice the heat. Name something I did outside, well I mowed my lawn then L and I raked it. Then she helped me out in the garage, its hotter in there than it is outside. You're right, she wasn't to happy with the heat here. She keeps turning the thermostat down so its like a freezer in my house. L said Wiesbaden is just southwest of Frankfort and just north of Mainz.  Bad Oeynhausen is further north

    That cat is creeping me out!  I know, it's Saturday and you don't post on weekends, but I'm  looking for friends.  This Best of stuff is driving me crazy!  I'm getting close to 5000 page visits just TODAY!  Who are these people and why do they want to know about my boring life?  Sorry for coming here to vent, but is this what it's like when MSN decides to feature a particular space?  I'm freaked!  I'll be glad when this is all over.

    Hey KT,

    I second that law, I had one for a digital camera I bought and it took them 5 months to send the rebate. Speaking of heat waves we're having one here in IL finally, it was 100 today with a heat index of 105 and the humidity at 80.

    See ya soon. Hope your weekend is a fabulous one.

    Hey King.  I agree with Sherry and think you should declare Cindy the winner...LOL.  I went to some rummage sales today.  Looked for a cook book like that Betty Croker one you showed but didn't find it.  Did find some good cooking magazines for real cheap though.  Have a great weekend.
