Wanna be’s and posers (yes again)
Wow, here we are talkin about wanna be’s and posers… AGAIN.
Funny how it’s the same people posing and wanting to be like us. Remember years ago and Michael Jordan & all the boys “I wanna be like Mike”.
Apparently in the work at home world it’s “I wanna be like Affordable Mineral Makeup™”
A company who’s […]
WAHMS who steal images from web sites
Really do people not think the original owners will find out or what?
This morning I saw an ad posted on a group boasting about their grand opening so naturally I went to check it out and lo and behold an image from Affordable Mineral Makeup was found on their site.
They added text over it and […]
The good, bad and ugly of customer service & people.
The good: Started afternoon at the post office, where a stranger held the door and as I said thank you. He then said “You’re very welcome, have a great day” and my response was “Thank you, I will and you too”. I was flabbergasted that not only did someone hold the door but he spoke! […]
Friday, May 2nd, 2008Much needed laugh
Ok, after a day of dealing with jerks I needed a laugh.
A few minutes ago the dogs both start barking and growling like crazy (imagine 5 lb chihuahua barking and yipping nonstop and 98 lb red doberman growling and deep barking). So, 2 seconds later knocking on the door. Nobody every comes here this time […]
Nice people do exist
just not many of them are located in South Florida!
But, if you go 4 1/2-5 hours north to St. Augustine, you’ll find lots of them!
We recently went on a mini vacation to St. Augustine, which is such a cool & relaxing vacation spot. It’s full of history, nice shops, great beaches, and polite people.
I always […]
Spamming and BCC’ing
Ok this has been one of my huge pet peeves for awhile now and am just now posting it.
How often do you get an email that was sent to a zillion people?
Too often I’m sure!
How often do you get an email that was sent to a zillion people and the sender did not bcc (blind […]
Following directions ~ What’s so hard about it.
I’m not talking about following directions on a map (anyone remember what that is?), you know the scene where the man gets lost and refuses to ask for directions because the woman read the map wrong and gave him wrong directions! LOL Guess it’s a good thing we all pretty much have GPS and navigation […]
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Will Speak For You
Will Speak for You offers professional and confidential mediation on a variety of subjects.
Have you ever wanted to say something, either to a person or business but just couldn’t muster up the words? Maybe you were treated unfairly and wanted to file a complaint but no one would listen. Perhaps you get so furious you […]
Muvico must not be feeling the recession
Whether you want to admit we’re facing difficult economic times or not, I’d have to say Muvico Theaters in Davie, FL must not be feeling the effects of the economy.
If, they were…then perhaps they would understand their new policy is asinine at best.
This afternoon, yes a school afternoon…I decide to take daughter & her friend […]
