Winding Hall of Fate

I recently left feedback for an item I purchased through eBay, and then I read the feedback others had left the seller. This seller has quite a way with words. I thought I would share a few gems:

BUYER who left (neutral) feedback says about my SELLER:

Neutral : Never left feedback.
Response by SELLER - Well, you can bet your a$$ that I'm going to leave you feedback now!

Then I read the (negative) feedback my SELLER left this BUYER:

Complaint : NEVER leave neutral feedback because someone hasn't left you any yet, you dolt.

There's more:

Complaint : it's been 3 weeks and these people still haven't sent the goods. buyer BEWARE!
Response by SELLER - (sigh) hey, look!! A new Ebayer! You're off to a great start! Try PAYING first!

Then my SELLER responded by leaving this feedback for the BUYER:

Complaint : Customer gave me a neg fb and hasn't even paid for the order! Bad buyer beware

A few more:

Neutral : Good email, slow shipping.
Response by SELLER - I really wish there was something I could do about the USPS - enjoy your item

Neutral : No shrinkwrap, box was dingy. DVD was obviously in used condition. Ripoff.
Response by SELLER - It was a brand new sealed dvd when I sent it - did the shrinkwrap fairy visit?

Complaint : Item did not arrive; seller will not respond to e-mails. Loser!
Response by SELLER - ordered April 28th!! Have NEVER heard from buyer bout this til now. Happy 4th!

I like this guy so much that I wish I had left the following positive feedback:

Great transaction! Has a big dick and knows how to use it! Thanks! A+++++++

A little known fact about me: I was once kissed by J. C. Penney himself.

I was killing some time surfing around fark.com when I saw a picture someone posted of JFK standing up in a big convertible while in a parade. It might have been the Dallas motorcade, but he was standing and I did not see Jackie in the picture. Anyway, I do not remember the day he died - I was too young - but for the first time it struck me as how incredibly stupid I would feel if I had to stand in the back of a car and wave at people lined up on the street. Is that a weird thing to do, or what? When I was about 10 years old, some friends of my parents owned a pool supply and installation company and invited my sister and me to ride on the "float" in their July 4th parade. This was in Naples, FL around 1970 back when Naples was a small town. We all wore bathing suits and sat on the back of a pickup truck and waved. I don't remember feeling embarrassed but then I was only 10. I don't remember loving it either.

And who wants to see a bunch of kids in bathing suits? Well, maybe people who go to small town parades do. I would rather see sexy, good-looking people, but then I hate parades. And maybe this is why.

I'm feeling Andy Rooneyesque today.

A co-worker is talking about a "bottle of asprins." What is the plural of aspirin? It sounds weird every time he says it. It is annoying me greatly.

This same co-worker is a short man who is about 20 pounds overweight and one of his favorite topics is exercising and going to the gym. He is also dead-set on getting the closest parking space to our building. He reminds me of women I used to work with who changed into their walking shoes on their break to walk outside in a group. These same women will circle the mall parking lot until they get the closest parking space possible.

He was making a big deal out of getting a hotel with a gym for a future business trip. I got tired of hearing about it so I told him, "They've got sidewalks in Minnesota, you know." Geez.

This Betsy.

Things to do today:

1. take son to get Nike Air Force One shoes if they can be found
2. take daughter to size finger for Championship Ring
3. start a blog

I always wanted to be a writer. Well, here goes.

You can thank my friend Betsy for this.
