I just saw a poll on the local witn.com site about the proposed dollar coin. It seems in this non-scientific poll people don't like the idea. Well it's time to do it anyway and if folks don't like it they can use a debit card. it costs too much to keep printing dollar bills. Perhaps a canada like system of 2 dollar bills with dollar coins.
In fac, it's past time to do this and perhaps while we're at it get rid of the penny.

walmart has not responded to my last email reply so it looks like
i will take delivery of the item coming to the house then
get my money back for the "guarantee"
and of course stop shopping there
too bad i liked their online stuff but hey i would rather pay more not to deal with jackasses

walmart update

The problem was the check out clerk didn't charge ta thus i have insufficient funds on the card. Their solution is not me to go back to the store and sort it out there.
Don't think that is likely to happen- they then told me if i just wanted my money back i had to go back to the store anyway.
NOT GONNA HAPPEN
I will be glad to add the tax to the card using my walmart account which will be closed shortly if they do not resolve this in my favor. My wife thinks this is a ploy to avoid having to sell the TV's at that price---if so it is dumber than "new coke" as they will lose a pretty good customer.

Great job walmart

We need a sarcasm font--
we went to walmart to get the 32 inch cheap doorbuster tv.
they had a one hour guarantee -- if you get there within that hour you can have the item at that price.
we were way back in the line and got the guarantee card-- jsut tried to register the card and
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

called the number and they say fixed now try again--
 this is how you turn a great idea into a
MAJOR SCREW UP

ideas and execution folks

worst call i have ever seen in lions game--and terrible rule
are*t we all glad the real refs returned

happy thanksgiving
we ate with our neighbors and the food and conversation
were great
btw pies decent
crust needs work

Made a sweet potato pie for the first time. Crust just ok -filling is good. Needs to firm up a little but i"m pleased on the whole.

Well i'm back to blogging.I blogged for years and lost the desire and in the process disappointed several readers.
Well i'm back-- no politics this time except in the general discussion and perhaps mainly church stuff that interests me-
