Well…..I am here to tell you about something that happened to my family….this is MOST CERTAINLY NOT hearsay. On Monday the 15th…We (mom & myself) went to one of our local Walmart stores to pick up several supplies…including several for my grandfather. Well, the cashier that checked us out…..was certainly NOT the brightest cookie in the package…but definately NOT his fault. I checked the spinner thing to assure myself that all the purchases were retrieved. We left and…..now FAST FORWARD to Wednesday. The home health aide was at our house to bathe my grandfather….and well….we noticed…the shaving cream was missing and 2 other items…a body wash & a box of q-tips. These 3 items were valued between $12-13. We searched the car several times, the house and the 3 items were definately NOT here. So we called the Walmart and the customer service associate checked for us….and comes back and says…”yeah…they were put back into the computer”. They went on to tell us all we had to do was to go get the 3 items again and bring them to the service desk. Well….we did just that and got the items back….no questions asked.
NOW…the deceptive part of this is that good old Walmart….put those 3 items that were paid for…back into their inventory and were placed back on the shelf so be purchased AGAIN!!!! That is just WRONG on so many levels….what Walmart should do…is to donate those things left & not claimed by customers to a food bank/homeless shelter…etc. NOT put them back on the shelf so they can make even MORE money. So….just think on all those items that invaribly get left behind….and one wonders why Walmart is so filthy rich…..WELL, NOW YOU KNOW AT LEAST 1 REASON WHY!!!!
So until the next time, better double check to see that you got ALL the things that you paid for….I wouldn’t want you to pay TWICE :)

Well…I figure that the first one will be about the nasty weather we are having. Ok…now I know what you are going to say….”bond…it is middle of December…what do you expect?” Well….I expect some weather in the 60’s & 70’s…because that is what we have had for the last number of years. Blame it on El Nino, La Nina, global warming, Al Gore, Obama, Pres Bush…or whoever or whatever, but the last major winter weather…as in deep snow…and a long cold winter was in 1994 or 1995 (while I was in Hawaii) and then…..I come back and BOOM…Florida like weather….I distinctly remember people mowing grass a week before Christmas a year or 2 ago. This year…we seemed to skip fall…..and we went straight to winter…YUCK :( As you can tell….I am a SPRING/SUMMER/AUTUMN type of guy….guess that is why I want to live in Phoenix so bad. Like right now at 8:21pm in the east…we are suffering through snow, freezing rain & bitter cold. I like rain…just not when it makes a ice skating rink outside….I can attest that when a 6 foot 2 inch guy falls….it hurts….hurts bad….So unfortunately I am stuck with the “freezing” consequences of mother nature…until next time!!!! STAY WARM!!!!
