Mrs.MoT and I have a tradition of stopping at Sonic on Friday night for a slush. Well, the car-hop failed to make sure the lid on mine was secure and it dumped all over me and the inside of the car.

Great.

EEK!

Did they offer to clean it, or anything?
Nope.

Replaced my drink, handed me a pile of napkins and that was it.

I'm going to take it to a detail place to be cleaned properly (including the carpet).

I contacted Sonic corporate for resolution, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Tripped/stepped on the cat this morning while early morning stumbling in the dark. Mrs.MoT and I decided to take her to the vet to make sure she's fine.

She is, but our account is going to be about $700 lighter because she needs dental work including a couple of extractions. :roll:

Possible Scam???

Post by rich_in_the_lou »

I received the following in an e-mail from Daniel Trice
I need to get an Amazon Gift Card for my Nephew, It's his birthday but i can't do this now I'm currently Traveling. Can you get it from any store around you? Please let me know if you can handle this for me.
I know a "Kaye Trice" but not Daniel - I responded that he appeared to have Internet access so he could do it himself - I responded without thought of any scam possibility (DUMMY ME)

Your thoughts please

I think you nailed it. If he emailed you, he has internet access to Jeff Bezos' place.

Since you didn't fall for it, you ain't no dummy!

I went to close up some extra holes on a couple of dials and ended up closing up ALL the holes. #facepalmImage

I was nearly sold on the traditional Le Locle signature and picture of classical chic, but in the end it was just a regular watch.
