Thursday, April 11, 2013, 4:44:20 AM- Proof of Delivery
I ordered a new laptop battery from Dell. I received an email with the tracking number. UPS said expect delivery date was Friday. On Friday I checked my doorstep and no package had arrived. So I checked the tracking number. It said delivered on Thursday. I went back outside and checked around the entire house, alas, no package. So I clicked on "proof of delivery". It said delivered to my front door on Thursday. Well, it ain't there!
Several years ago UPS left a package for me at one of my neighbors by mistake. So I figured they probably left my battery at the wrong house. I'll wait a day or two and see if it shows up.
Monday morning arrived and still no battery. So I figured I'm not going to see that one. So I called Dell and reported non receipt. They'll send a replacement out, allow up to 8 days. Not a problem.
A couple of hours later a neighbor who lives 2 doors down rang my door bell with a package in his hand. It was my battery. The way his house is situated, they always use their side door and did not notice the package at their front door until Monday.
I was busy with stuff so I decided to wait until Tuesday to call Dell and cancel the replacement. Tuesday morning a FedEx truck showed up and dropped off the replacement. That was fast. I didn't have to time to cancel the replacement.
So my question to you is, under the circumstances, what would you do? Keep the replacement battery or send it back?
"The gang is right, call and see what Dell says. It might not be worth their time and you may have an extra battery, but if not at least you can say that you were honest about it. *hugs*"

I got this in an email. I thought it was pretty amusing.
A Jack Daniels Fishing Story
I went fishing one morning but after a short time I ran out of worms.
Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth.
Frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me
with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the
head, took the frog, and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to
release the snake without getting bit.
So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a
little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp.
I released him into the lake without incident and carried on
fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that darn snake,
with two more frogs.
Friday, January 25, 2013, 6:25:30 PM- Had To Do It
I did something today I haven't done in about 10-11 months. That's right, I finally had some snow to shovel. We have gotten a dusting of snow several times this winter but nothing that amounted to anything. But today we got hit, yup, an entire inch of the light fluffy white stuff. I'm beginning to think I won't use the snow thrower this year.
Well, all that shoveling has given me an appetite, I think I'll have a slice of pumpkin cake now.

I found this recipe recently. It's a great way to eat pumpkin. It's easy to make too.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
3 eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin
1 cup mini chocolate chip
Set oven to 350 degrees rack set at second lowest position. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. In mixing bowl, blend sugar and oil; add eggs, beating well after each addition. Combine all dry ingredients; add to egg mixture, alternately with pumpkin. Add in chocolate chips. Transfer to a Bundt pan; bake for 60-65 mins, or until done.
You can reduce the fat by using only 1/2 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of buttermilk.
You can sub chopped nuts for the chocolate chips if you like, or use a mix of both, like I did.
If you like your cake less sweet you can reduce the sugar by up to a cup.
"lol, that's funny :) Are you certain about the round bit? I have quite a list of people I was looking forward to throwing off the edge..."

Monday, January 07, 2013, 7:47:48 AM- "I know how to sell, I've been doing this for a LONG time"
Those were the words the salesman at my door was telling his trainee. He knows how to sell and he's been doing it a LONG time. The salesman in this case is a boy no more than 8 or 9 years old. His trainee is his little sister. What he's been selling for a long time is fundraising popcorn for his boy scout troop. Now his little sister is in scouting and the celebrated girl scout cookies are the item. As I looked at the order sheet and made my selection the boy reminded me I had bought popcorn from him and he remembered the order. Then he asked me if I was enjoying it. A natural born salesman.
I keep chuckling over his comment that he's been doing this for a long time. But all things a relative. I remember when I was that age a month seemed like a year. I fear, however, that he has muscled in on his sister's cookie operation and she is just a tag along.
The boy did tell me that he had the number one sales in his boy scout troop, selling over $2,500 worth of popcorn, which won a trip for his family for a weekend at a resort. I hope his sister does as well. I did my part for her, I ordered 4 boxes of cookies.
I don't like going through my mail. Neither my snail mail nor my email. I have 3 active email accounts. I went to hotmail and selected "all" and then the delete button. 5000 unread emails gone. One problem solved but 2 more accounts to visit.
"well that could explain why you never replied to my WWF request :S"

Sunday, December 09, 2012, 7:19:53 AM- Status posts
I often see posts that go something like "I'm really bored" or "I'm really drunk" along with a request to chat or cam. My question is, is someone more desirable to you if he/she is really bored or drunk? Not trying to be judgmental, just wondering.
"No kidding!! My favorites are the ones who say i'm bored and horny. entertain me! Ummmm... no. and if they are lucky i bite my tongue and say nothing! LOL"
