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
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!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, since moving to the lake house and now being Larry's caregiver it is just easier to buy things online. We are more rural for shopping here than when we lived in the woods.
Deletesadly Sam's club has really gone downhill with their online buying-it's been over two years now with issues with them so I am going to not renew and they keep raising their yearly dues. They have a Plus card that was always free shipping-they took away the free shipping two years ago
Wal mart is usually pretty good online-this was a fedex delivery issue, and me not reading all the particulars for the embroidery boxes. oh well stuff happens haha
Take care and Happy Easter
oops anonymous is me haha

ReplyDeleteThank you Christine and Happy Easter to you and your family
DeleteI just got an email from Sams Club that they will be raising the membership rate $10. I only get a couple of things there, so will think about if I should let the membership lapse.
ReplyDeleteWe always had the business plus card-the plus gets you in the store earlier and they always had free shipping when shopping on line. Ours is due to renew June 1st and the price went up to over 100.00 I think 125.00 so no longer worth the money since their stores are too far away from us now and their online site is horrible. sad to let it go but not worth it anymore. I love the brand of bird food I get from them so will need to search for something else. I will buy two more bags before my membership runs out
DeleteLovely illustrations. Happy Easter to you, dear Kathy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter
DeleteI can relate to your online purchase experience - I don't like AI at all either.
ReplyDeleteWe did watch the Artemis II launch yesterday - I still remember all the Apollo missions and found them fascinating as a child. This was pretty cool, too, but I don't like the idea of building a base on the moon. Why can't we just leave it alone?
I watched all the space missions too as a child-I am not all for building on the moon either-some if it sounds like military stuff too takes away from the awe of the moon for sure
DeleteUGH on the online ordering. Bob had his c-pap order go to a neighbor way down the street from us. Thankfully we know all of our neighbors. She called Bob and told him she had his package. I watched the lift off yesterday. So glad they took off safely. I watched the Challenger and it was so sad seeing it live on tv. Janice
ReplyDeleteI was working when the Challenger had that sad event. that's good to know your neighbors
DeleteHappy Easter and Passover! We have been getting daily rain for over a week-getting pretty old... Take good care my friend-hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of rain we got a good amount of rain too along with very strong winds in the last two days Happy Easter
