Default I want to ruin the following groups*

Asking for the man or woman of the house is not a good starting point in
my book. Even if I were going to do anything other than hang up on a
salesperson I would sure hang up then. Why not ask for the person who
buys or uses cleaning products or "does someone in your home use power
tools"? Why would you start of by alienating any thinking person.

I hate sales people (could you tell?)

Andy [man of the house]


I used to do a LOT of phone work and it wasn't easy then and it's even
harder now.
I'm never mean to a person who calls me, because I've been there and done
that.

Oh yeah..I'd hate to have her mad at me.
I have her DVD
Some Judge Judy-isms:

I'm Speaking!!
Put on your listening ears!!
What are you, an idiot?!!
If it doesn't make sense, it's usually not true!!
I don't believe you!!
On your best day, you're not as smart as me on my worst day!!
Hurry up, I've got better things to do today!!


And her baliff, Byrd, is doing crosswords on his clipboard while she's
'judging' She is the only TV Judge that doesn't use a gavel, and she
has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

There ya go G
Kyla



more Judyisms

She/he may find you cute but I don't find you cute!

On Mar 4, 9:06?pm, Daniel Mahoney

?"Stormmee" DH slow roasted a beef roast for later... it was
outstandingly complex,

he
took it out of the package, put it in the baking dish I gave him and

roasted
it... oh yes I learned how to turn off the oven in case he fell asleep

and
he did have to cut a bit off to make it fit in the dish I gave him. Lee


Sounds like what I did for dinner tonight. Cut up a 3 pound roast,
peeled and sliced potatoes and carrots, and dumped them all in the crock
pot with some stewed tomatoes. ?Was pretty decent. And we'll have
leftovers for quite a while.


Sounds good, my mom also adds onions and Worstershire sauce which is
good. My Grandma K added onion soup mix. When we do pork roasts I like
to add rosemary.

My phone number is on a no call list. As soon as they call they are in
the dog house with me but I don't even answer the phone today unless I
know who it is calling. I do not, however, share your sympathy with
people who call my home after they are told not to. In fact, the only
people who should call my home are people I have asked to do so. If a
person works for a call center that disregards no call lists they need to
get another job because they are breaking the law. In general I consider
calling people to "cold canvass" amoral. Unless an individual is paying
my phone bill they have no business calling me unless I have asked them
to. I ran a contracting business for 20 years and never did that. Now,
let me know if you want to hear what I think about spam.

I used to get this kind of call too.
Them: Can I speak to the man in the house?
Me: No, not unless you are clairvoyant..
They hung up on me too.



I got one today. Mike had to take Emily the Ford Tempo to the repair
shop.
Guy: Is Mike there?

Me: No, but this is Mike's mommy. Can I help you?

Guy: Please tell him that the repair bill is going to be bigger than
we thought/

Me: What needs to be done?

Guy: Besides the new Cee Vee axle that we agreed on, the tie rod
needs to be replaced, he needs a new tire, and a full alignment.

Me: Wait a minute. We get free alignments from Firestone and the
tire is already arranged from them.

Guy: The steel is showing through. The tie rod must be throwing off
the alignment.

Me: I said that the alignment is arranged as is the tire.

Guy: (talking very loud and very fast) He needs a new alignment
after we replace the tire and tie rod.

Me: But he isn't going to get one through you. How much do you want
for all of this on top of the Cee Vee axle?

Guy: Only $220 more, we're giving him the best price that we can.

Me: How much for just the tie rod?

Guy: But it nee-

Me: You aren't getting the alignment and tire. So how much for just
the tie rod?

Guy: (sulking sounding) $90.

Me: Good. replace the tie rod and the cee vee axle. We'll take
care of the rest.

Guy: The steel is showing on the tire. It won't make it on the road
anywhere.

Me: It will make it to Firestone, and that works for me.

Guy: (Sounding desperate now) but we can do all that here.

Me: But you aren't.

Guy: It's not your car, lady. Mike has to authorize the work

Me: Check the registration. My husband and my name are the only
ones on it. You will do as I say or die.

Guy: Are you threatening me?

Me: Yes, now do you want to risk this?

Guy: Ok, just the tie rod and the cee vee axle. It will come out to
$250 + tax.

Me: Good. call me when it is ready.

We both hung up at the same time. He got me on sound, I got him on
points.


I lost the laptop all the the e-mails about Cary's birth were on in a
somewhat similar way. Th elight bulb for hte screen had blown, and the
hard drive was a bit twitchy so that you'd have to re-boot it several
times before it would 'catch' and recognise the hard drive.

So I took it to a supposedly reputable place for a *quote* to have it
fixed. If it was under $200 they could fix it, if it was over that,
I'd have just backed up the hard drive and thrown the thing inthe
trash (it was a *very* old laptop). I specifically put on the form it
was for a *quote* only, but I got a call a few weeks later to say that
they had replaed the hard drive and hte light and it would be $900. I
said no, I only wanted a *quote*, not actual *repairs*. They argued,
and hten pointed out the fine print that they would charge for any
'exploration' and replacing the light and hte hard drive were part of
hte 'exploration'. So I said, fine, keep the damn thing, I'm still not
paying for it. I've never gone back their for repairs, but I am Very
Very annoyed with myself that I didn't back up the hard drive *before*
taking it to the shop.

Yowie




The real question is does the hard drive spin the other way around where
you live?

By the way, we have a technical name in the IT world for places like
that. We call them s**th**ds.

Over here we call them "toppers" and I reserve all of them for toast because
they are just the best toast luckily Dave isn't keen on them or I would have
to kill him to get them! The odd thing is that sandwich bars and cafe's never
use them, they just bin them! I even tried asking for them in some places but
they look at me like I'm mad (Okay I know I am)

that is so interesting, one of the best things about this group is seeing
the differences and in the end the similarities among all of us. DH doesn't
fight me for them, and will eat them if nothing else is available, but I get
them if there is other bread, I could never actually save them I like them
too well, Lee

I had a telemarketer ask to speak to my mommy once. I asked if he had a
really good long distance plan.


A few years back some telemarketer called and asked to speak with Mr. Fritzie
F. Szczepanski. Louie said that would prove to be difficult since Fritzie was
his cat, and not to worry about the trouble as the retelling of the story
would outweigh any inconvenience.

Apparently our drugstore sold customer names to a mailing or calling lead
list. Store policy says that if one must get scripts for an animal, it is
recorded with the pet's name in quotes, a middle initial F-feline, C-canine
or A-avian, and the surname of the human own...servant.

Blessed be,
Baha
