Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

From The Corner Of My Mind

* Not as cold this morning. It was showing 37 on the ride over. Next week doesn't look so pretty. Chance of snow and/or freezing rain on Tuesday.
* This week week went by fast.
* We will be keeping Ava Grace all night tonight. Let me change that. We will be keeping Ava Grace till about 11 tonight, then I'm going to bed and W-spouse can keep her till in the morning.
* I had a record number of hits to my blog this week. I also had a record number of comments. Food is a hot topic.
* I like helping friends out with problems that they might have. Your Welcome!
* Watched a movie last night called Green Zone. Very Matt Damon-ish. We thought it was a good movie though. 3 stars.
* They were out of Sweet and Low at my coffee getting place this morning. Equal is not equal.
* I was in a hurry yesterday typing my thoughts and it showed. I corrected 3 spelling errors last night. I'm surprised no one else did. W-spouse said she noticed, but didn't comment. Yeah right!
* I may get to work on the welder Saturday. That project has been put on the back burner due to work and other things. I need to get it finished.
* We are having a class reunion get together tonight where I graduated from. 265 miles from here. Not gonna make that.
* W-dog goes to the groomer tomorrow. Someone remind me of that about noon please.
* Remember the story about how Best Buy charged my account 3 times for one purchase. I finally got the money back around the first week of January. A representative from Best Buy called me last week and tried in vain to make it right. I said some things that would not look good on this blog during the course of our conversation, which was over 30 minutes. They want me to take my negative comments down off of their site and off of the Google reviews. I also posted them on the Denton Best Buy store website. I told her I would remove them in June. The way I figure it, 6 months of negative advertising is a good trade for keeping my money for 3 weeks.
* So quess what I get in the mail? A $50.00 Best Buy gift certificate with a long letter of apology.
* Do I use it, give it away, throw it away? I did say that I would never shop there again.
* That used to be my favorite store.
* This is similar to the girlfriend that broke your heart and now wants to rekindle the relationship. Do you forgive her and start over, just because her product is what you SO desire?
* In the words of the Angry Squaw, " I need therapy".
* Hope you have another blessed day. See ya Around The Corner!

I'll take the Best Buy card off your hands!

Use the $50.00 gift card but don't spend a dime over because they don't deserve your hard earned money. I quit shopping at Best Buy about 14 years ago over a similar experience. They sent me a gift card as well.

You should donate the gift certificate to school or church since your not going back. That way it doesn't go to waste. Just sayin

never leave money on the table...people and companies screw up. Use the card or donate it your church or another worthy cause

Ok, I laughed so hard I nearly peed myself. I'm going to copy and paste your response to kitten paws and send it to the hubby! (it's not stealing if I tell you first right??!?)

Use it... if $50 is all your word is worth. Kinda surprised you would consider it. I think you send it back to the store. But if you dont I think the negative comments have to come down-
