Accumulating preparation items for our family get-together


Sure most of you are way ahead of this curve and I am pretty sure you all know where you will be for New Year’s Eve too. No? We will be right here celebrating until our eyelids droop, as we have been for many years and that’s just fine! And yes, we have funny hats and noise makers, herring et al and usually the occasion appropriate beverage, of Brut Champagne, but of course! Our son and his girlfriend will be coming in between the two holidays and so we will have to try to celebrate both! And we have it all taken care of. Moving on… An update: The Q&A from the company that took over a year to answer my question, interestingly enough I was told that it had been answered not by that company, but by one of their online customers, huh? Now here’s the rub the email had their logo and their nearly everything that is unmistakably utilized to make you BELIEVE that they were whom you were dealing with and they denied it. They said their help-line is who I should have contacted, not the Q&A on the product page, huh? Now, today, they, the company that has people not working for them answering questions, had the nerve to send me a survey on how the associate handled my problem when I finally got a hold of one? Whew, and that my friends is the meaning of CHUTZPAH! Audacity is us? I had my say, which I am sure that you all know that I did. That meant that I told them what I thought. I felt that they needed to clarify who is doing what and GEEZ, I wouldn’t want just anyone using my logo and misrepresenting me that way and without customer care that most international companies strive to project and protect reputation wise. In my opinion the way the email came in, it had no indication that it wasn’t from them and so I recommended that they are more clear on just who these people that are doing their bidding for them or not allow them access to their letterheads. The company I still will not reveal, since they are claiming it was my mistake not asking my question to their help-line instead of their Q & A on the product page that I was inquiring about. Enough already, I feel like I am going around in circles. I am more than sure you get the gist. And you are more than able to agree to disagree with them or me. Towards the middle and end of my Mom’s life she was acting a little bit like Gracie Allen: to learn more go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Allen Yes, George Burn’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Burns wife, whom was the better half of a wonderful comedy team called Burns and Allen. She acted ditsy when George would ask her simple questions and the fun would ensue off in many directions but always come back to where they began and resolved. It was told later by George himself that she, Gracie, was actually the brains of the team and came up with most all of their routines. Well, My Mom never owned up to her doing it for the fun of it, but she would always beat me at Scrabble and so I knew she had it altogether. I did beat her a few times, but I never knew if she let me or not. She had been a legal secretary and so her spelling and grammar were impeccable. Darn it never rubbed off on me! I have no idea what brought that on… oh yes I do, me being confused by people who think I can’t understand why they make things tough for us normal beings! HA! Any-who, allow me to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with the Sandys and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
