Lazy, hazy days of summer...

Weather is not predictable; no matter how we try to make it seem that way.
How do they teach something that cannot be regulated or counted on is beyond many a person’s comprehension?

We are not unable to study whatever it takes to become a meteorologist, people are capable, but the weather still is not defined as simplistic as one may think.

Many a TV weather person has been blamed for an ill fated weather prediction, but is it really their fault?

Think of the meaning of the word, ‘prediction’, forecast, guess, calculation, prophecy, hmm?
Get it?

All not exacting in values to wrap your day around with some positive absolute, hmm?

So the next time the guy or gal on TV tells you it will not rain in your neighborhood and it does, or the sun will be shinning most all of your day and nope it doesn’t, think about what you know to be true and actual…now think harder… is there anything that is really that predictable in life?

BIG SMILE HERE.

Now go on and live your life without knowing what will happen next and see how that goes…

I bet it goes just fine.
Since that is what predictable, unpredictability is!

Moving on…
Today I swam and ate and vacuumed out this computer tower, I know an old fashioned PC we have but upgraded with new components and hard drive just a while ago…
The fellows that charged us a small fortune to fix our computer yesterday have not fixed it and I was wrong we started around ten A.M. not eleven with them trying and it went on until last night where we told them to stop!
Since they had yelling in their office which sounded like a boiler room operation in their admittedly India location too noisy while trying to ask questions of me the customer or Hubby and hard to understand too…!
I foolishly did not Google the company until just before we ended our relationship with them… due to what I found, many complaints and accusations of the company being fraudulent, WHOA!
And so although they called back a few times Hubby took the calls and told them what had been found and asked them to return our monies, but they insisted it would take seventy-two hours, meanwhile I called our bank that our credit card is with, after I deleted all their personal accesses to this computer, supposedly to easily access them for any additional help…Our bank could not do too much since the transactions are pending in the system and once they post they are now aware that these are disputed charges and they gave me a reference number and said the amounts will be credited to my account! Two separate amounts of too much, still too embarrassed to mention… but cheaper than a new computer was the reasoning then.

This early evening they called again and wanted to know if we were happy with their service, Hubby answered thankfully and told them the truth!
We still have many unresolved issues that I am sure are VERY COMPLEXED!
But I ask you, isn’t that why you hire technicians to fix them for you?
Well, they didn’t and so they won’t get paid for a job not done well at all!
The company that I am speaking of is called Virtual PC Support, and in my opinion, they are not a reliable company and charge way too much for not fixing your computer! I suggest you Google them too, or try the brick and mortar route that we will be going back to when we know that we have been reimbursed.
Sadly, this did not sound too good to be true, a usual red light… it sounded like a price for a product of superior quality… that too is a BIG MISTAKE!

Sorry for the downer note… stems from the old expression ‘buyer beware’…
But allow me anyway to wish you a very happy good night and try to stay cool and dry and well and kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
