ToRn’s takes on life and happenings.

Married 10 years today

Morning, today is Pauline’s and my 10th anniversary, so we are just waking up and getting ready for our day.

We just exchanged gifts; I got her a white gold ring with blue topazes and a matching pair of earrings. She got me an authentic Peyton Manning Indianapolis Colts white jersey.

We got a suite at the Hilton on the beach today, so we going to head over to our favorite Irish pub for lunch and then to the suite where we both plan to chill out.

I love my life.

How Do I Feel?: happy happy

Sorry Joe

“You just lost my vote”.

This was the email I just sent to Joe Biden.

I was VERY interested in his campaign for 2008, but his vote “Yes” on the Irak war bill was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I know it was a no win situation, but you know what? I don’t care anymore; I am sick of the fucking pussies who bitch and cry about the war and then fold like a map when it comes down to it.

Joe, you are just as bad as George, you say one thing, and you do another. I have watched you since last year when you was on Bill Marh and he asked you, “are you going to run in 2008” and without blinking you said “Yes”. Nothing more, no “Yes but….” Nothing else was needed, you just said “Yes”. That REALLY impressed me and made me take notice, so I have been rooting for you for a long time and planned to send you money soon, but this approval of George’s tactics has showed me you are just like the rest.

Obama, Clinton and Dodd all voted “NO” and Edwards is also against it.

Right now I am rooting for Edwards, and I think an Edwards/Obama ticket sounds incredible.

Clinton scares me, not the woman thing at all, but the dynasty thing, There has been a Bush or Clinton in office since 1980, that is fucking scary, but if it came down to it and Clinton was the dems choice I would vote for her, but I would not like it.

How Do I Feel?: irritated irritated

SME: You were right, I was wrong.

And I hate you for that 😉

I just got screwed by tigerdirect big time. I bought a 1 terabyte hard drive last Thursday, it said it ships in 24 hours and here it is Tuesday and I still do not have it and it still has not be shipped. So I called 4 times in the last 2 days and today I am finally told they do not know what it will be shipped. So as I mentioned, nice false advertisement on their site “Ships in 24 hours” ha….

So I finally have had enough and tell the guy I want a refund, he says it will take 24-48 hours to complete, so I am ticked and asked to speak to a supervisor and I get “William, Sales manager” and I explain how unhappy I am since I have GREAT need to have this HD days ago, not days from now, so I am really screwed right now and days behind on work.

I mention the $1000’s I have spent there and asked why do I not get respected enough to at least get a email letting me know that the 24 hours will turn into a week and after all the $ I have spent with them and how I am being treated is total “bull shit” (exact words) He tells me don’t cuss, I asked “Why, what is the worse your going to do? Hang up on me?”

“Come down to the store and find out”

Shit… meet fan.

So this is where tigerdirect will never see another dime from me, I was a die hard loyal customer and as noted here, I have stood up for them and even promoted them to others, but NEVER again. Fuck you Tigerdirect and a big fuck you to “William, Sales manager” at tigerdirect, amazing how tough people are on the phone.

The best news is, I found the exact same thing, for $120 cheaper then TD has it for, so I bought it. So not only are they unprofessional and use false advertising, they are over priced.
