I guess many stores are getting ready for Black Friday. The economy this year has been bad for retailers and this is pretty much the only chance they have to recover some of their losses. Plus, they have to get ready for tax season coming up. So, I don't care when they put out their stuff if it helps them out.

Just for fun:

Oh come on, already. What's a little early celebration? I'm in the mood for Christmas but for my own personal reasons. I may shop early and then again I may just wrap some of my exquisite collectors items. (read stuff, rat pack items)

Did not someone say at one time or another that we should keep the spirit of Christmas all year long? Well maybe this is just that. And I do know that many of the citizens of the little town near here are thankful for the jobs that they have at one of those big box stores. My humble answer...do not shop for any items that are suggestive of the Christmas Holiday season. Ignore them, just as you would a neighbor cutting his grass, blowing leaves, chopping firewood on a peaceful Sunday morning.

Oh yes, I agree, GloryB.

Which ever floats your boat! You can even eat turkey at Christmas if you so choose.

Unhappy Other annoyed isses in your lifetime warranty!

More annoyed issues!

Okay,,,, I have a repair issue at home in the kitchen. I checked online with the manufacture and answered their questions about the problem and asked for their thoughts as to what steps to take for correcting it.

Today I receive an email with an answer that doesn’t fit the question. So it appears that I have to play email tag for a while or reach someone at the company who knows and understands their products.

Call me frustrated ~ so I’m going to take action myself and do what’s needed. However it’s crazy to think that a company has a customer service department, a warranty, or any type of desire to help resolve customer problems and issues after the sale is made. Seems it’s the last time I’ll believe the packaging that states “lifetime warranty”.

Anyone else have issues that will make the rest of us feel better?

Going out to each and buying french fries and they are overly salty! Now that’s criminal. What happened to the great flavor of potatoes?
