Christmas presents given to grandchildren - 6

Thank you notes received - 0

I know I'm old-fashioned, but what has happened to the concept of good manners these days?

Good manners are / should be ageless Andy!

I was referring to previous years, but I don't expect this year to be any different! :)

Anyway, 'tis better to give than receive so I'd better take my Scrooge hat off now.

It's also rather annoying to call a "not-quite-so-brand-name" appliance's customer service TECHNICAL phone#, only to be answered by a guy with a difficult to interpret accent - eating what sounds like a greasy turkey leg with a mere "Hello?!" (and of course there's children crying in the background) - He has no idea of the product (but he was a real tech, just incompetent) And his whole tone is, "why are you bothering me while my family is eating dinner?!"....of course I'm wondering the EXACT same thing! (that's AudioVox for ya' ~5 years ago)

Sounds a bit like the electrical shop with the spotty fresh out of high school individual who comes up and says can I help you sir? (to which I am thinking eerrrrr you don't look as if you can but.......) yeah does the whatever dada come with HDMI DVI and VGA sockets and you get that have you just arrived from the planet Zod look!

(when in fact you have just landed on the planet Zod)

You can still find those little magnets to strap onto your fuel line to "Improve Mileage" and that scam is at least 35 years old now so... why not? :)

Fseal also magnets can 'cure' arthritus pains too.

Some nitwit even tried to convince me that you could use them to stick pictures your kid had drawn to the refrigerator.

People.

He he Prof I've got some rare earth magnets I used for gold prospecting you could stick the kid to the fridge with
