WTF? last week this cheese cost $20....
COMMENTS: now I really want your opinion on this one (PLEASE)...
If you visit a person's blog over and over again, leave nice comments every time.... but that person NEVER comes over and leaves YOU a nice comment now and then.... do you think I should just stop visiting their blog and stop leaving comments??? I am in this 'position' with quite a few blogs I visit... I LIKE these bloggers/blogs, but am feeling a bit.... sad? that they don't return the favour.
(Some of these bloggers DO acknowledge my comment with an email... but still don't visit/leave me a comment EVER.)
So: tell me what YOU would do in this situation... IF you are someone who actually leaves me comments! lol
OH and another thing bugging me right now. If I send you an invite to read my Private Blog (cos you asked for it) then I never hear from you again.... I feel awful. So if this applies to you... I am weeding my private blog readers again... and you will be deleted. Sorry, but if you read my private blog and don't even bother to comment... ta ta.
LYNDA: we usually buy it once a fortnight. And what do we do with it? Just the usual thing really ... WE EAT IT. DOH. Sliced thinly on sandwiches mostly.
Right, I've been out and about this morning. THANK YOU for so many suggestions re: comments etc. Muchly appreciated.
NOW on to my morning! Bit of a long story ahead:
I mentioned the other day that my SD Camera Card was jammed in my camera eh?
Well... I rang the place where I bought the camera from, and the guy there said to bring it in, and it would cost me $57.20 to get it assessed at Panasonic Head Office Service Department. He also said it would be a minimum of three weeks until I heard anything, and repairs cost $120.00 +GST an hour, with the minimum charge being 1 hour.
I'm like... bugger that!
I found out where Panasonic's Head Office was and drove there this morning.... 10 minutes from me house.
The lady at the Service desk said she would take me camera out the back and see what the technician thought.... I waited about 10 minutes then the lady came back with the technician.
He told me the card was cracked and jammed in there, so it was a physical breakdown, NOT covered by warranty.
I said BUGGER, and could I book it in to be looked at and repaired after Christmas?
Well that really NICE MAN said he would have a go at getting the card out right there and then, and told me to go have a coffee and come back in an hour!
So I did. Well OK, I didn't have a coffee (ikkkk).... I went up to Botany and posted some mail.
When I got back the camera was FIXED! AND they waivered the assessment fee ($57.20) AND did not charge me a cent for the repair either! I was gobsmacked.
They said I would need a new SD Card as mine was dead, and would I like to buy one while I was there? I said 'YES PLEASE', how much?
The cards are $40 in the shops... I got TWO for $50 at the Panasonic Head Office!
Those people are just so nice, I went out and bought them a dozen slices/pieces of cake for their afternoon tea!
I would have taken a photo of the cakes, but hadn't put the SD Card in me camera at that point.
So, I've had an EXCELLENT experience with PANASONIC again!
After that I went and bought a set of Tie Backs for Steve's room:
I mean, I show you fulla's just about EVERYTHING don't I? lol
I am really, really chuffed (happy, thrilled) with my day so far!
End of Day: well after all you gorgeous buggers leaving me comments today I feel much better about what I am doing. Blogging is quite a time consuming thing... well it is if you are me and blog on and on and on... all day! lol
But I do love it, and I love visiting blogs too... but the number of blogs I read now is crazy, and I will probably have to start cutting down to just those who are my 'regulars'. I think this is necessary just so I don't have to spend 6 hours in one day reading/commenting just to keep up!
