Subject: RE: BS: Comfort food
Mmmm yes Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite cooking-wise. I wish I was your neighbor! I'm already looking forward to it. Chopping to Alice's Restaurant. And the smells - just heaven.
As far as justice for the potato incident - oh absolutely I should and would have read the woman the riot act and stayed put until I got my money back but it was one of those days. I'm sure you all will recognise the syptoms, where everything that has been bugging you for a while suddenly renders you senseless because, this particular day, you bumped your elbow six different times, walked into the door once, had something in your eye for four hours, dribbled bleach on your favorite shirt, your head hurts, your basement flooded, your toast burned, you broke your favorite mug, your sister got on your last nerve - just a pile of silly things happening at once puts you over the edge. So rather than react in your ordinary way to things such as takeout turmoil - you loss it and run out babbling and pulling your hair with spittle on your chin.
As far as reporting to the various agencies intended for consumer protection, well I would have tried that a few months back, in theory these entities are great, but maaaaaaaan Oh man did ya ever try to actually contact one of them? It is almost invariably the changed number, voicemail, pleasehold, transfer, explain-for-the-100th-time, smugf*ck-of-an-operator hell. And no one calls back ever. I just went through it again recently trying to report the criminal treatment I received while trying to have a baby in a hospital. I couldn't go through it again. In fact, I do believe attempting to get somewhere with one of these agencies was a big part of Woman Breaks Down Over Bad Potatos. yeesh.
And hey Jenny! I thought there was a JennyL already so I didn't put L and also I had joined mudcat properly a couple times with jenny variations(though I rarely post) but I have so many cookie problems and stuff with my crap old pc that I gave up. Maybe I'll join again as Sportin'Jenny. Did you ever notice Jennys always do seem to be of the sportin' type in song? Where's brilliant inspiring jenny or sensitive sweet jenny? There is a cool Jennifer song where she has "yellow jokes come out of her mind" or soemthing like that.
Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday and thanks for the kind advice!
