Oh I forgot! We had bowling last night and I was the star We bowl three games and I had a 500 series! I don't know what was wrong with me but I was on fire! I also picked up a split which I have never done before. We won 2 of our 3 games. My husband played like I would normally so that was weird. He is normally our best player. I didn't notice but I guess the guy on the other team was getting pissed. The girls were cool though.

Congrats, Woo! Good job! I've never been able to knock down a split. Though, I'm also lucky if I hit 100.

me too! lucky if I hit 100. I don't usually bowl tho. it hurts my thumb.

 my normal average is 111. Of course I have completely screwed that up now- lol

My highest game last night was 195. I don't remember the rest without finding the score sheet.

just checkin' in. BOSSES are still fishing in Mexico, so i have payroll duty... anyone wanna bonus?

this weekend was maranda's senior art show reception. although only she and another student will be graduating with BFA's this trimester, the exibition was very nice and a lot of people showed up. both showed photos -- maranda's featured the local bands she associates with; and the other student's were of car parts in detail. the reception was only two hours, but maranda was able to tag seven pieces "sold"! YAY! that's over, now if we can just hang on four more weeks until graduation! -- she's stressin' out --

everyone have a nice day!

Hey DS, I'll take that bonus...

7 pieces sold? That's awesome! Congrats to Maranda!

Thank you! I was very impressed too!

Now, she didn't price them very high, she believes that art should be reasonably priced so that everyone can enjoy (and sell )

Present.

That is all.

My father-in-law is getting moved to a regular floor at the hospital as I type.  Conversation was short so I have no details.

Happy Monday, all. So far it is a quiet one here at the office. Quiet chilly today with rain on the way in by afternoon. It's supposed to be really cold tonight so I'm wondering if I'm not going to wake tomorrow to an ice rink. . It's supposed to be rainy for the next couple days and rumor has it we may have snow by Friday.

Woo... fabulous news about your father in law! I know it has to be a major relief.

Ruby... sounds like little Ruby bopped you a good one. Take care of yourself.

DS... congrats to you and Maranda. That is very exciting.

Wow! Congrats Woo.

A 500 series is a rarity for me. My average was about 150 when I bowled.

We can ALL beat Barack Obama though. He bowled a 37 on the campaign trail

Today my big task is starting an angry letter writing campaign to the place I bought my car, the extended warranty company and the company they pay to collect their money.

I got a letter from them Saturday showing that instead of 2000 the amount they were told to collect from me is 2041.

Not a big deal, $41 extra isn't going to break me, and ordinarily I'd just pay it.

But what ticks me off is they have a copy of my contract included with the letter and it shows that Bob King Mazda crossed out all the original numbers and replaced them with the number that's $41 higher. Next to EACH and EVERY cross out are my initials! I NEVER INITIALED ANYTHING!

They changed the prices on the contract and then initialed it all on my behalf! That ticks me off BIG TIME. Now there is no way I'll pay the extra $41. I'm about to go on a phone call rampage.

I was thinking the same thing MZ.\

I'll see what they say when I contact them, but if they don't take the $41 off I will take it to a higher level.

Unfortunately I don't know if I have my copy of the original, but hopefully I do. It's definately not my handwriting that initialed the reworked contract though.

How shady is that? For FORTY ONE bucks??!

I wonder if it's because I wouldn't take it unless they got the price to $2000. Maybe afterwords the guy realized he was losing money at that price or something. But that's not my problem. I would not have taken it if I didn't get the price I asked for.

Is there something like a "call for action" hotline for one of your local news stations? I'm thinking they should probably hear about this. So should EVERYBODY you ever meet who is looking to buy a car.

Well, I bought the car in NC and now I'm in WI. Plus, I'm trying not to over-react until I hear back from them, but I can't imagine a good excuse for this.

I can't tell you how angry I was Saturday when I saw my initials next to each of the changes.

Well, Step one is complete.

I called the finance company. SPP they're called. The woman explained they got the paperwork a short while ago from Bob King. She pulled it up on her computer and saw all the crossed out numbers and intials and agreed that the paperwork was a mess and seemed as agitated as I was at the fact everything had been initialed with what appears to be my intials.

My next call was Bob King. They put me in touch with the comptroller who took the information on the issue and said she would do the running around to get answers rather than transferring me around from phone to phone (I appreciate that).

Now I wait for a return call.
