Good morning ladies! Man, sometimes I hate men! I sent all that BBB stuff by email to my son because he had paid to have it done. He calls me and tells me he called them and they will be out this morning to redo it at 9 AM! He says that he has worked for a long time with customer service and you have to handle people with kid gloves to get what you want! Well, he smooth talked the receptionist and she did it and NOT the snot of an owner. Hope she doesn't get canned over it because the owner, who is a real you know what of a woman, said she wouldn't redo it. She also lied and said the bill hadn't been paid and I ask my son yesterday and he said it was paid awhile ago! Anyway, out they come today and I am going to make them hook up the dryer vent and turn it on and I am going out and check the vent myself and if it isn't working I want to know why! My son said if they didn't fix it to call him before they left because he wanted to talk to them. Good luck if they send out the same dopes because their accents are so thick you can barely understand them. I hope they don't send the same two because I am none to happy with the way they did things last time then told their boss something that wasn't true.
Gail: I am pm'ing you the address as we aren't supposed to do links on the posting page. Sounds like you had a nice quiet day of work. Good for you! I know that a lot of ladies think they would like to retire and sit around at home, but then when they do, they get bored prettty quickly because it is such a big change to their lives. I have been trying for several months to get started with Red Hatters, but I haven't been able to go to the lunches when they are scheduled. I am bound and determined to do it for December though. As for Jack, the elbow and thigh went away but during the night a patch came up on the other thigh! I wonder if we connected the dots would be get a picture? I shouldn't tease him. It is bothersome to deal with, poor thing.
Susan: Your friends are going to adore getting quilted gifts from you! I wanted to get more knitting done for Christmas this year, but I think I started too late. Maybe I can get some stuff for the adult women done for next year. I would like to try and make them shawls or shrugs. I think my dd would like the shrug and maybe some socks, though I haven't tried to make either of them. Good after Christmas project to start on to practicing get the technique down. We are going to dd's for late breakfast, then play games, then to Cracker Barrel for lunch than back to her house and just kind of snack and such and watch movies etc. She does the Black Friday thing. I think it is insane. She talked me into it one year when she was a senior in high school. Now this is in Indiana and it was colder than a snowman's nose out! We stood outside Target for an hour before they opened! I had to go pee so bad I can't believe I didn't wet my pants. We were pretty close to the front, but good grief when the doors opened, you would have thought they had one Cabbage Patch doll and everyone wanted it! We got trampled! She loves it! I start looking for online sales back around August and start buying online. I usually get some pretty good deals and a lot of times you get free shipping. I think I am going to start buying diapers and wipes and such for the baby when I go to the commissary each trip and then haul them all up to their house when she has her baby shower. Get different size diapers, boxes of wipes, baby shampoos etc and she will be all set for awhile. If I get one of each every time she will be stocked for quite awhile.
Jean: Shame on you being happy that kid got arrested! I bet you are dancing to school now! It was bound to happen the little dirt bag! The stockings are just beautiful. They are needlepointed. I think they usually retail for like $35 apiece without the monogramming. The neat thing is they have matching mantel hooks that are like $7 apiece or something. I can't wait to order them. I have no clue what I am going to get the adult kids for Christmas. I don't have time to knit the women anything and my son in law is sooooo difficult to buy for. I have sent a request out to my son and dil, but haven't gotten anything back. Of course, I sent it to Jay so maybe I should send it to his wife instead!
It is so balmy this morning, the AC kicked on. It is raining cats and dogs so they will surely make a huge mess dragging that vacuum hose through my house.
Well, got some chores I want to finish before they get here at 9 so I better hop to it!
Have a great Wednesday!
