I’m So Happy I Can’t Stand It!!

The sun is shining, I’m just finishing up breakfast at McDonald’s, using their Wi-Fi with my new laptop (I saved up nearly $300.00 in Amazon gift cards and a couple of my friends kicked in enough to push the laptop fund over the top). I bought a wireless Logitech mouse today because I hate the… Continue reading I’m So Happy I Can’t Stand It!!

An Open Letter to Cascades East Transit

I’ve had it clean up to my eyeballs with being harassed about my wheeled cart (not to mention my drink cups and my bicycle) by many of the drivers at Cascade East Transit. Do the bus drivers (not all of them, but enough to be a constant irritation and source of stress) actually think I… Continue reading An Open Letter to Cascades East Transit

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the TOTALLY INSANE!!

Yes, this is a rant. A good old-fashioned rant that has been brewing for a while. The Good #1: On November 15 2011, I was waiting (somewhat patiently) for traffic to clear on 15th street so I could cross and get to the bus stop which is about two long blocks down the street. There… Continue reading The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the TOTALLY INSANE!!

Birthday Parties, Family, and Ford Focus(es)

(not to mention Enterprise car rental, which made my attendance at the birthday party possible). On November 2, 2011 my aunt turned 80. On November 5 her family (my cousins) threw a big party for her in Chelan, Washington where she lives. I had seen my aunt in August when she came to Bend for… Continue reading Birthday Parties, Family, and Ford Focus(es)

Excellent Customer Service, Version II

Grocery shopping is supposed to be relatively quick and painless. In this case it was neither. First, I have no transportation so each time I need to go to the grocery store I either need to cadge a ride from a friend or take the bus. Coming home with huge bags of groceries –and walking… Continue reading Excellent Customer Service, Version II

Relevant to WHO??

Good post, but it seems no longer relevant The post in question is this one: http://www.i-dont-think-so.com/?p=189 It was relevant at the time it was posted which was April 12, 2010–almost a year ago. It was relevant to ME…..and that is what is important. Do I care if some commenter (hereinafter to be referred to as… Continue reading Relevant to WHO??

Safeway: The Final Straw

Since I’ve been ill (more on that in another post soon) I am lucky if I have the energy to finish more than one errand or task in a day. I pushed myself too hard last Thursday (2 doctor appointments, a trip to Albertsons, and two trips to Walmart) and ended up sleeping nearly all… Continue reading Safeway: The Final Straw

Safeway Blues AGAIN….I Wonder Why I Still Shop There!!

Now, I have a Starbucks card that I received when redeeming points from an incentive site that I belong to or I couldn’t even afford Starbucks at all; I received this card… Continue reading Safeway Blues AGAIN….I Wonder Why I Still Shop There!!

Freshly Made Salad, My Hind Leg

Safeway strikes again! First off to get what I wanted I had to drive to two Safeway stores, one off of Highway 20 and the other at 3rd and Franklin. One would think that if a store was going to sell shredded cheese at all, they would have more than one variety (mozzarella) available. But… Continue reading Freshly Made Salad, My Hind Leg
