DISQUS

Looks awesome baby doll! Good job! I'm glad to see you're back at it!

I get drunk. :)

Just kidding. I go and pamper myself. Press my suit. Get a haircut (although, I think your safe here, lol), and read over my resume a few times. It's done me well over the years.

I wish you the best of luck in finding a job in the Niagara Region Todd. Knowing what I know of you, any employer who hooks you will be a lucky one.

Fixed baby doll

I've been reading through this persons updates and have come to the conclusion that he/she is really a weak, cowardly person. How's this for a best shot...Reported...oops, seems he's in a direct violation of the TOS. It's going to make me weep when I navigate to http://twitter.com/microsoftword/ and find it not there. No...wait, wait...I will be at ease...that's what I meant.

I think this is genius if this is actually M$. Just think, they have some guy in their work environment who has some anger issues, but is the most loyal employee you can ever have. What do you do with him? Twitter assault of course! But, keep it silent. Plus, you know what they say, no publicity is bad publicity!

Everyone copes in their own way I think. I deal with death by remembering the good times and the memorable times (because they aren't always good) and knowing that there's a reason that death has to happen.

I hope that I can help you and comfort you when you need it most.

Not as amazing as the man being honored

This is a very good list Zoe. Those are nice moments to remember in a very sad moment in time.

I would also like to add a nice thing. You know, the 'If you need anything, just call' line. Well, we called and without hesitation, our request was answered. This was what Sherri and Al did for us when they took Spanky for 2-3 days while we were taking care of things.

So thanks Sherri and Al. It may not have seemed like a huge thing, but it very much appreciated.

It was a very touching Eulogy Zoe. Both you and John have the gift for speaking. Although you can't see it on the outside ('cause apparently I'm a robot ;) ) I felt your words on the inside.

That's brilliant. A nice pat on the back for the Brown's and Fort Erie Paints! It always warms the cockles of my heart to hear stuff like this still go on.

You still need to post some before/after shots of the place. I would love to see the metamorphosis!

Holy moly, I've uses some fancy words here today :)

You also deserve a pat on the back Todd. If it wasn't for you, the work wouldn't have gotten done. So Kudos to you my friend!

arrrrgghhhh...damn you and your chain letter post!! I'll do it though only because I fear the internet will break if I don't do it.

I don't know 6 ppl to send it to after me though so I'm afraid this will die with me...ha ha...HA HA...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! (maniacal laughter)

That's some of the coolest packaging I've seen for a DVD! Very relevant.

Zoe and I just watched the Big Lebowski the other night with a multitude of caucasians. What a great movie AND drink! What is your plan once you get it?

and handsome...don't forget handsome :)

I have a good time sittin' round the ol' table.

THERE IS NO KATA....

god I hate you soooo much...

:)

Congratulations Zoë! I hope you enjoy your new flip camera.

Great job Jim!

I liked that place...and am still thinking about the living room decor :)

I guess we'll just have to give that place another shot with laptop and camera in tow. The things I do for you Zoe...

HuH? lol

Rallo - I chant as well - LONG LIVE THE BAN!

r3 - Interesting read - naive at best. I think if Mr. Ingrisano did a little more research on the history of the people that he quoted - namely the banking moguls - his views would change on these 'revolutionaries'.

But I digress.

In fact, based on principal, if the mom 'n pop shop did business in this same way, i.e. not honour their own store policies, I would react in the same way.

I've been in the same situation with Staples that Rallo has been in. This isn't the one and only time that Staples has reneged on their own price match guarantee.

Now, I've played the same games with Future Shop and have never had a problem price matching using their price matching policies. And some of the stuff that I've tried to price match there has been rediculous!

Bottom line, I think the store could have handled the situation with a little more dignity. Which brings me to my original point - Why should we respect them and their policies when they only honour their own policies when it works in their favour?

They should be there to provide service to their customer, not the other way around.

I think what the issue here is this:

Staples says that they will price match anything from an any Authorized Canadian Dealer.

Staples themselves are an Authorized Canadian Dealer.

On their website, they posted a lower price than they had in their store. It's their own fault that they didn't fix the price in their box store to match their website.

On the way into the box store, there is a giant sign stating their price match 'GUARANTEE' key word, Guarantee.

They were bitten in the ass and they knew it, but like children, couldn't - or wouldn't - admit it.

The issue at hand is not the money that could have been saved, but the principle of the matter. Because the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing, they technically fell within their own guarantee offer. I personally think it's appalling that they didn't honour their own policy. What they should have done is just been honest and said 'You're right, here you go, you got us'. Honoured the deal, then contacted their Corporate HQ and tried to get the problem fixed either on the website or in the store...wherever the problem was.

To me, I believe that this is a prime example of why people are starting to regard box stores with very little respect and are trying to get as much out of them as possible. Why should we respect them and their policies when they only honour their own policies when it works in their favour?

I am soooooooo badass!

I was thinking of singing show tunes professionally this day, but I just don't have the physique...yet.

I think the sink is taking a hit. We're going to have to hire a plumber to take the 5lbs of hair out of the drain.

I now know why cops have the moustache, it looks damned sexy!

I stand corrected :)

This was a great post Zoe it made me happy to read this.

You forgot to mention however. You forgot to mention how handsome and witty your best friend/husband is. I've met him and he's simply dashing :)

What are you talking about Colin? He's the catch of the year!

Zoe: I like to take 1 day off a year...plus, what better way to eff with people who know you like pranks, than to take off the one day everyone expects to get pranked? So I guess in that respect, I haven't even take that day off :)

I love those shirts... and they look really comfy too!
