UPS = The evil empire
July 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment
I am so frustrated and angry right now I am writing this in tears. Perhaps I’ve become too emotional in my peremenopausal years. I’m in the middle of yet another battle with UPS … and this time I’ve had it. I can’t take it anymore. I posted this over at Medialine yesterday … when the frustration was almost comical: Speaking of bad customer service … can I just vent for a moment? I hate UPS. I mean … I really really REALLY hate the company and their policy towards customers... [Read the full story]

July 19, 2008 · 2 Comments
Yeah - silly name for a new weight management program. I’ve signed up to be a guinea pig for this new program out of my Family Doctors office. I’m not sure how many people they have in the program .. or how long they’ve been doing it … but I do know the doc was complaining that the program peeps didn’t give them top notch equipment {he wanted a LASER printer .. not an INK JET} to run the program.

It’s one of those songs you’ll find little girls singing at the tops of their lungs while driving in the back of the car to the beach. You know what I’m talking about …. Come on … you used to do it too! Katy Perry... [Read the full story]

All right .. I will admit to being obsessed with Reality TV. I think it’s become a new addiction for me … I don’t have a life of my own so I’m living vicariously through the people I see on TV! I’m not pretty enough, good enough, whatever enough for that unnamed show - so I stay at home and play along with other shows like The Mole. So far this summer I am watching - or have watched since some have wrapped this past week: The Mole - I stand by my original prediction - Alex is the Mole! Hell’s... [Read the full story]
