That reminds me of what one Congressman said when asked what HIS wife would say
if HE had just committed a marital indiscretion like some politician of that era had just done.

"Well, ... she'd be looking down at me ... in a pool of my own blood ...
... asking me: "Honey, how do I reload this?""

Okay, first of all, I don't use "thingy" for all the things I can't remember the word for! I also use "doohicky", "thingamajig" and for some reason "hockey stick". That last one only because I think it sounds hilarious! Whistling

You're right, Rosie...I use that one also! Today I was on the phone with my newspaper customer service (can we still call it that even though they're not very helpful?). It seems the newspaper came up with the really (not!) bright idea of automatically signing up all its subscribers to receive an extra sports magazine called Spurs Nation for an added price of $1 a week. Wow, what a mistake they made...now people are riled up! They're also going to charge $3.95 per printed bill mailed to subscribers. Why can't companies just leave well enough alone. I'm too old to start dealing with this crap! Well I opted out of the magazine and opted out of the printed bill. Now I'll have to pay them a more complicated way to avoid their "EZ Pay" option...don't like those automatic payments and way too old to change now! Grumbling

I don't like being tricked into buying something I didn't want. Angry Angry Angry we need to check all of our statements and receipts closely to make sure it's ok. Also we've had people at restaurants take credit cards and copy the info and steal from people. Now I try to pay cash if possible. Some restaurants can scan at your table. Whatever happened to honesty Crying

Nope ... I took a tumble and didn't bounce ... *Blush* I wasn't hurt and didn't fall down the slope, so it really was no big deal. This time.
