CSI SEARS..............

We had our carpets cleaned earlier this week by Sears.....
Both me and the Boss were a bit curious to see the cleaning guy come
in and start going around the house with a
black light....
You know like the ones they use when looking for crime scene clues....
I felt like I was in an episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent...
The Real Crime was when he handed me the bill and the amount
was different then what I agreed to online....
It seems in the tiny print on their contract they have a
$14.00
Fuel Charge.....
Can you imagine if everyone that performed a service for you charged you for gas to get to work.....
Leave it to Sears.......

Not surprised at all. It's NOT the Sears/Roebuck we grew up with anymore. Their charge should be all inclusive rather than having a separate fee for something like gasoline. They are just like the banks charging for every little item.

How the heck can they change the price once it is agreed on? That stinks!

That happens here..they have to come 45 min. over the mountain so most places charge $50.00 for gas! I just hate it!

I can believe this as we have paid for the last 10 years a charge for some companies to drive onto the island and there is NO charge to go over the bridge so we can never figure out this bogus charge? Ripoff! If you do not cancel your Drs. appointment within 24 hrs you are charged but if the Dr. cancels your appointment does he send us money? Crazy upside down world!

When gasoline headed up toward the $4 a gallon mark a few years ago, a lot of my building material suppliers started tacking on a fuel surcharge for their deliveries. Now that gasoline is only in the $2.50 range, they still have the same fuel charge.

Let me see, were they coming from 50 miles away? Because that's enough gas money for quite a trip. Ridiculous!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
