This fight should have been a no contest. Hopkins looked like he had a dislocated shoulder. I believe the Dawson win will be overturned. What do you think

CONSUMERS SPEAK OUT "SEARS SUCK"

SEARS SUCK!

I purchased a washing machine from sears on the 21st of August 2011, it was delivered on the 24th of August Wednesday. I ordered the machine originally with hoses which are sold separately. My machine did include the power cord which sears will sell you separately as well, on other models. After making arrangements for the delivery I called back to check on why I did not receive my email confirmation of this order. After speaking with the representatives I was informed that they had my email address incorrectly in there system.

Upon reviewing my order with the representatives. it was discovered that they did not include the hoses, which I ordered with the machine. After making arrangements with the representative on having to purchase hoses which they didn’t include on the original purchase. I was concerned if the hoses would now arrive with the machine when delivered. I was placed on hold by a representative while she spoke with the delivery department about delivering the washing machine and the hoses together

I was told that she spoke to they delivery department and she informed me that the washing machine and the hoses would be delivered together. The machine was scheduled for delivery on Wednesday the 24th 2011. When the delivery arrived they informed me that they did not have the hoses I was surprised regarding this situation. I called immediately while the delivery people were still here and was told that arrangements would be made for a install it the following day on the Thursday the 25th. After calling to check for the time of the delivery I was informed that no one would be coming out that day.

They told me that the did not have the hoses available in there store after speaking with numerous representatives regarding this matter they indicated that the best solution to this problem would be to purchase the hoses myself, and have the hoses available in my home so that it can be installed when the Sears representatives come back to my home to install them. I was told that they would be coming now on Friday the 26th 2011. I thought great finally, my machine would be up and running.

Although, now a hurricane was forecasted for the New York City area my machine would be up and running before the Sunday the hurricane was predicated to come. I called on Friday in order to find out what time they would be coming. I was told that there was no record for a delivery for me on Friday. These arrangements where mad by a case manager by the name of Lisa E. who assured me that they would be coming out on Friday. Having called a representatives on Friday. and being disconnected. I was then called back and told that all deliveries were cancelled on Friday. due to the expected hurricane on Sunday. The representatives then schedule my installation for Monday the 29th 2011.

I called to confirm the installation on Monday. I was told that no delivery was being made today, because of inclement weather. I informed the Sears representative that today’s forecast was sunny with the temperature being in the 80’s. I was told that the delivery would have to be rescheduled due to this reason. I was so frustrated and upset, as it is beyond comprehension, that Sears would be so unreliable in carrying out a service that should had been completed on the first day of delivery.

I called Sears.com case manager to complain about this matter I was told that no date in time was now available for my installation to be completed. I was informed by a supervisor that someone would call me today regarding another date and time for installation of my product. I can only tell you that I don’t even believe there latest representation, as they have never given me the curteousy of calling me back ahead of my inquiry into there arrival to complete these services

I would have requested a refund of my money awhile ago, however I weighed this option after speaking with a representative. Upon finding out that they would give me a future date for the pick up of the machine, and the week or more that it would take for them to give me my money back, after the pick up date. My families dirty clothes are piling up everyday, It was my belief, that Sears had a reputation for installing washing machines and providing services for washing machines which they have been known, for many years. Well, times have changed.

I told the representatives that I spoke with regarding this matter, that I would never believe that they would let this matter drag on, for so long. I have lost all confidence in Sears! They were my first choice for anything to do for washing machines. I now regret that I didn’t try any other outlet besides Sears I will report back as to when my machine is finally put into service

it is a Maytag washing machine I can only wish that I had the Maytag’s man number maybe he can help. However, Sears is need of help as well. They are no longer a industry leader in selling washing machines in my opinion. They have failed at providing this service for me and my family. I can only advise any reader of this report to choose carefully when buying a washing machine. Don’t rely on what you used to know about Sears. They are a disappointment. My experience buying a washer from Sears has been a true nightmare.

THIS IS DEPRESSING ME

I recently asked my daughter what are you concerned about? I wanted to know what was of interest or concern to a teenager these days. I also needed a story idea. She stated that she was concerned about the depression. She stated that the price for everything has went up. She mentioned all the important things that matter to teens; pizza, soda and gum are up. Prices are up 17 to 25% higher in cities across America for food prices and 5% for all products nationally. This may be a blessing in disguise as prices rising for “junk food” pizzas, burgers and the like. People may turn to healthy alternatives such as fruits and salads.

The increase in fuel prices were responsible for the rise in these prices and may level off due to downward trends recently in gas prices. At times it’s easy to forget that our children are as in tune with the politics and economy of this society as we adults ‘should be’. I believe they are more astute then us on many occasions. We need to keep ourselves clued in as much as possible, when they are concerned. We must remember that they will inherit this society and need to address the issues as they see it.

WHAT’S YOUR ISSUE?

What’s your number one issue or concern? Let me know what’s bugging you and what you want to do about it. I will list the top ten issues and give the best responses needed to fix the problem. So get to it, I know that you have a lot on your mind.


TAKING MY ADVICE

So whose advice are you taking in the decisions you making? There are some important choices for you to make in the near future. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has recently endorsed Sen. Obama for President. Former First Lady, Nancy Regan has endorsed Sen. McCain. Wall Street observers have indicated that you invest in this buyers market and take advantage of major sell offs. Real Estate brokers are suggesting that you buy now and acquire property that is way below market prices. What do you do?

My advice is that you do your own research. Now more than ever is the time to educate your self about the issues that matter. People are often taken aback when they rely on the counsel of others, and find that those assurances were not worthy of their assets.
Whatever, decision you make, be sure you are ready to live with them. Give them the time and attention that is needed for a successful outcome.



TIME FOR A POEM

It’s time for a new beginning and a break from the past,
Or at least all those things, that I don’t want to last,
It’s time for a feeling that I want to endure,
Instead of the uncertainty, and lost of allure,

It’s time for a Change, My feelings have said,
No more of these aches, pains, and dreads,
Its time for a feeling, that captures my heart,
The hour has come, the counting has start.



HOW DO YOU HAVE FUN?

That's a question which has a million answers. However, I believe some people really know how to have fun, and some are just kidding themselves. I had fun this weekend reuniting with some old friends, and playing some games. What have you been doing?
How do you have fun? Let me know how to get some fun back into those down days?

MID-LIFE CRISIS

A MID-LIFE CRISIS

So are you having yours? Have you already had it? Or do you feel one coming on?
I have answered affirmative to all three already. My dilemma is what to do about it. There seems to be many response’s to it. These were a few of my initial thoughts. First, ask my wife, why? The questions are too numerous to list here. I don’t have that much time or patience. The second question arose when thinking of my children. Why? OK! You’re starting to get the picture. A mid-life crisis was diagnosis. So now the question is asked, what do you do? I decided to paint, create many home projects and use my hammer to tap away the frustrations.

Many people have chosen some remarkably unsound choices when facing these times. Some decide to return to their youth and take it back to the streets. However, I decided that the clubbing and weekend warrior activities were not for me. Some engage in affairs of the heart. However, they soon find that the roaring flame that once burned in their heart has begun to flicker. So again you ask why? Why aren’t you in that place you envisioned when starting your career? Why don’t the passion burn between me and my spouse still. Well, I decided that the answers are not in the stars, but somewhere inside of me.

I am coming to realize that it is my crisis, and that I am the one who must resolve it.
I believe it may be somewhere in my next visit to the Home Depot. I plan to look for it in either a shade of lamp blue paint or a space saver. What do you think?
