What I'm Reading This Week #17
Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot! Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere. They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it. Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?" 7,422. I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!! You listening up there, Sir or Madam? Can we please be done?? The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rat bastards. The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them). This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years. Th...
Yes I really do want to know. I remember when I was excited to finally have a house and eagerly waited for trick or treaters only to end up getting like 3. And as you said we haven't gotten any at all in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteI was just a kid in the 70's, but in my opinion that was the best time for trick or treating, I think parents are to scared in this day and age, just trying to keep their kids safe, but it is nice to see that some people still go all out decorating. My husband and I have lived in our new area for 2 years now, no kids coming to our door or any of the neighbors, all this candy, bad for our diet!
DeleteI haven't had trick or treaters since 2005. It is now trunk or treats at churches or schools. I know parents today don't let their kids do much. I guess they don't trust people. Understandable since there aren't the consequences for bad behaviour there once was.
ReplyDeleteNo trick or treaters here, I noticed when my kids were young, 2004 time frame, people started turning lights off and not decorating back then, people were saying in was a "sin" and were not going to participate anymore. so glad we moved from that area in the south!
