Today I got a flyer in the mail saying I could get my new phone from Verizon a month early. I was totaly stoked because you all knew I want to get a new bluetooth phone. I tried to do it online but my account wasn't letting me so I called the number on the flyer. I was put on hold. When I got a person they ask my name and location, I tell them and she says she deals with California so she transfers me. I get someone else and I tell him where I'm at and he says he doesn't deal with California numbers so he needs to transfer me back. By this time I'm incredibly ticked and told him I was transferred to him from the CA section but he can't help me. So I'm now talking to the third person and he says that I can't get the special on the phone I have to go through the internet. Then why the freak is there a phone number for me to call to order the phone?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Needless to say, I had that to say and more, LOL. Then I apologized for going off on him, it wasn't his fault and it was a good thing I did. This is when he told me that if I waited a month I would get the discount on the phone PLUS a $100 rebate. Something that the flyer didn't say. With the special I would get a discount on the phone but no $100 rebate. So thats why I got this so called "special" in the mail. Nes said I should read the small print, there was no small print telling me that. I didn't know I would get less if I ordered a month sooner. I thanked him for telling me that, something I'm sure he wouldn't have if I hadn't apologized for my outburst but then again, he probably wouldn't have told me about it if I hadn't of vented. I'd thought I'd share the info with you so you don't get fooled like I almost did.
Another thing I wanted to blog about was Shaq's Big Challenge. Has anyone else been watching this show? I first started watching because nothing else was on at the time but now its one of the highlights of my TV week. Shaq really cares about these kids and I feel for them. This is not a glory project for him. Everytime they succeed you can see the pride busting out of him. It's been fun watching them come so far and I know I will be sad when this show is over. It would be wonderful to see more celebs and athletes get personally involved.
I went to the gym today. It was much more difficult today then it was last week but I made myself do 5 minutes more. I'm shooting for 3 times a week to begin with, there's really no reason why I can't make it there. I did think about walking instead but then thought about the bloodsuckers they call skeetos here. Last week I came home from the market and was standing outside talking to my neighbor for 5 minutes and ended up with 5 bites on my legs. You thought I was a homebody before, you haven't seen anything yet, LOL.

4 Mannions Speak :
Good thing he told you about the waiting one more month, I can just imagine the ear-blistering they would have gotten if you had found out about it a month from now LOL
I didn't know Shaq had a show, can it be watched online?
I know how you feel about skeeters, I go insane if I know there is one in the house, and I don't go outside in the late spring when it starts to get dark. Lucky for us it's been a dry summer so far so we aren't seeing many at all this year.
Caladryl-Clear is our friend LOL
OUCH! Dang it I just fell out of my chair & spilt my java when I read you went to the gym today--miracles do happen! Girl 3 times a day ain't gonna do a thing--get your big ole butt there M-F and take the weekend off. This old woman goes M-Sat unless I'm getting up at 5am for swim meets.
I hope I shamed your young big ole butt to GO TO THE GYM!
I was watching Shaq's show but then it started to feel contrived so I just wait patiently for Kathy Griffen on the D-List to come on at 10pm. I LOVE her sense of humor and the best episode was when she hosted the Gay Porn Awards!
PS I believe venting is good as long as you apologize to the innocent party! Sometimes the run around they give you just frustrates you so much that it comes spewing out of you w/out warning! "-)
Yep. Ya gotta beware of them skeeters. They'll et ya up.
(Think Deet)
Kudos for going to the gym. I'll praise you as I'm sitting on the couch lifting a glass of wine up to you.
I don't miss not having t.v., but I would've loved to have seen the "Gay Porn Awards". You know that's got to be good. ;o)
The worst part was I probably wouldn't have known!
Check abc.com, they re-air a lot of their shows.
Girl, let me set realistic goals and work my way up!
I enjoy the show. What the kids are going through are real. Of course, if I had cable I'd be all over Kathy's show! I love her!
LOL Brenda! Lifting the wine glass is work too. Well, til it gets empty.
