Lots of Rain & Buying Online Woes & Off to the Moon

   Good morning, 

           The last couple of days and nights we have gotten Lots of rain here-much needed but this area I live in does get flooded especially Versailles, Mo They have done 2 years of road work already-changing the main intersection to a round about I think they are called-it's not completed so such a mess I don't like it. and this intersection area always floods-a lot so would be interesting to see if their labor project actually worked.  I wanted to go into town there but not willing to test it just yet-smiles.

   I do a lot more ordering online now-it is easier for me and usually less expensive. This week I had major issues with my Wal Mart purchase. They split my order into two deliveries. The first one I never could find. Fedex takes photos now of the package-he/she took a photo in his truck looking down at the lake-weird haha.  So I got a refund for that one. Yesterday I got in the rest of my order. I am straightening up the last of my embroidery threads and getting them onto the cards and into the plastic boxes by color. I needed more-the price has gone up on those boxes-the ones I have already are mostly from garage sale finds. From their photos I ordered what I thought was the right size-actually thought these were all the same-opening up the box they are tiny-So this order was a total bust. I call into Wal mart and get their AI she tells me I can't  return my item-not believing "her" I ask for a real person-after several attempts she finally passes me to customer service. Yes I can return-I just have to take it to the Wal mart store for the refund. I am not caring for AI at all

  We have been Sam's Club members for 34 years now-we still have kept it in our business name. Now that we have moved to the lake I am not driving on highways for over an hour to shop there-but I do love some of their items. Lately I have had major issues with them-their online site does not work most of the time, and again have to deal with AI and pretty much beg for a real person. I will not be renewing our membership in June. Life changes  as we get older and older-just the way of life.

   Thanks for "listening" to my gripe session on buying online

  Ever since I was a kid watching the space explorers-I always get excited when they blast off again-smiles.  This mission is their test run for landing on the moon again-and setting up a station there-Oh to be younger so I can watch this unfold.   When I was a kid and the first ones blasted into space-my school set up a large tv screen in the auditorium so we could watch. Do you enjoy following our space exploration?? I have always found it exciting for the explorers and fascinating.

  Happy Passover and/or Easter if you Celebrate

  1. Kathy - it is so much easier to order on line and yet I know there are downfalls. Still think though the good does out weigh the bad. Our closest Walmart is about 30 minutes away and lots more traffic than I care to see...so for the most part online shopping works the best for me. We joined Costco this year and do make a 50 minute trip there every several weeks. The savings is worth it and we can order on line there too. Have a Happy Easter friend. Hugs!
