I love horses!

I have always loved animals. Especially horses. Unfortunately I was not raised in an environment that let me get close to them. I wish I had the skills and talents of the young lady in this video! (I also wish I had horses and lots of money, but if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride!) Anyway, this lady is spectacular!

Yuck! Makes me think twice about hotels, that is for sure!

I was thinking about buying some new glassware for our kitchen, and so I was searching the Internet for some new glasses. I found this instead! I know it is an old story, but it still freaked me out a lot!

So cute – dancing babies

My sister sent me the link to this adorable video of a compilation of babies dancing to “I’m a single lady.” So cute I wanted to share it with you! Hope you like it too!

Got the shipment

Well, I got a shipment from that ebay merchant but have filed a claim that was the first shipment that is long overdue and that the second shipment hasn’t arrived. The merchant has promised to ship it out again, but I’ve put a claim through paypal to not pay it until the second shipment arrives. I hope it works! I don’t want a sleazy merchant to benefit from me! On a good note, at least this time the garment fits! I was really going to be annoyed if it was too small too!

I’ll fix their goat!

I have re-ordered the clothes from that same Ebay merchant that sent me the wrong items a few months ago and failed to make good on them. The exact same items. According to Ebay, the items were shipped. When they arrive, you can just imagine what kind of feedback I’ll be leaving the merchant this time!

Paypal says it’s too late

My sister suggested that I put in a claim with PayPal to try to get the Ebay merchant to pony up with the merchandise, so I went to the PayPal website to lay out a claim. I was quite annoyed when I realized that there is a 45 day limit to claims, and that the merchant that stiffed me had played me out over that 45 day limit!

So, with a little research I found that the purchase in question was actually charged onto my DiscoverCard, which gives me more time to dispute a charge! So I called the DiscoverCard Customer Service today and explained the situation and they said that they will investigate and in the meantime will credit my account for the money.

Played for a fool

Last July I ordered several items of clothing from a merchant on Ebay. When they arrived, one was not the size advertised, and one was damaged. I noticed these flaws AFTER I left positive feedback. (Note to self, inspect everything carefully before leaving positive feedback!)

So I contacted the merchant, who told me that he did NOT want me to return them, but that he would replace them. So I waited a couple of weeks, and asked for a progress report and was told “so sorry, we’ll be shipping them tonight.” A couple more weeks, and still nothing. My inquiries to the merchant have now remained ignored, so I am assuming that the merchant has “stiffed” me at this point and has no itention of doing the honorable thing.

I’m just not ready yet

I’ve noticed that some of the leaves are starting to change color. I’m just not ready yet for autumn to be here! I know that every season is three months, but it just seems that summer is shorter than the others! I’m the kind of person who wants to live in a constant temperature ranging only from about 74 – 78! So I’m thankful for living in the modern age of heating and cooling systems, but I wish I could afford to move someplace where the temperature was always comfy no matter what season it was!

The youthful attitude

I was walking through the mall yesterday, shopping for a birthday gift for my mother. I noticed a quarter rolling on its side down the walk-way, and I paused and watched with interest to see where it would go. Maybe by the time I got to it, it would have stopped rolling and I could pick it up! I’m not ashamed to admit that I pick up coins from the ground! Before I got to the coin, however, a teenager kicked it away! I asked the teenager why he didn’t pick it up, and kicked it away instead. Would you believe his response was “A lousy quarter isn’t worth bending over for!” Well, if THAT is the attitude of today’s youth, I think we are in sorry shape!

Self Esteem
