The Vent

[Mephys 2]

Vent: Some people are just good at regurgitating brainless bull$hit, and they are even more good at posting them everywhere, saturating any subject and making the main subjects drown under comments with no sense, and then even reply to themselves...

I am fading away from VJ...

And I don't even want to post anymore, because then if those people would come and add stuff among the other cool people, it would feel like letting people I don't want in my house. Ya know, intruders.

Even putting them in a ignore list isn't ignoring them completely, you still see the 15 "ignored" posts in a 30 posts thread.

gah...

Links please. It's a phase...happens to me about every 2 months. I just about slipped into it recently...I'm one post under the line right now...

Don't fade away!

Dear Mephys, there are so many "undesirables" in so many threads.

Welcome to this planet.

Hahaha.

Why are you leaving the safe haven of the Canadian forum??

We all go through that, as Carla said.

This forum is so tame compared to a sailing one that is the only other one I have been involved with for about 4 years.

When I first came on board here, I was so thick-skinned and ready for flaming and cynicism and sarcasm, that I cried with each sweet, loving response!

They (the other forum) are truly sharks...mean and ready to eat you.

Scary stuff.

Not for the feint of heart at all.

After discovering people can be good on-line, I almost fell off the radar on that other one.

I am slightly in and mostly out of that place since VJ.

I VJ!

And an aside rant from me (yes I have said it before):

What does godd have to do with getting a green card????

Arrrrrrrr!

Don't people get we are all goddd?

We all have great manifesting powers when we tune in.

Ahem.

Back to your regular scheduled programming.

Okay.. so here's my vent for today.. Hubby calls 1-800 flowers and says.. hey i'd like to order 12 gerbera daisies for my wife's birthday - can you get them to her? And they say SURE!! (famous last words).. so this small (3 daisies) arrangement arrives on Friday afternoon (beautiful but i didn't know what they were supposed to be).. and they are FULLLLL of golden rod... I'm stunned.. i've never seen a florist put golden rod in an arrangement, so I pull it out.. obviously.. and then about 1 hr later the daisies start to wilt.. so now I have 2 almost dead daisies (of the 3).. hubby comes to my office and looks at the flowers and says "that's not what I ordered at all!!".. so i'm thinking.. you'd better call them..

So 1-800 flowers says "well if you are not happy we'll have to have the florist come and pick them up and see if they really are sub standard".. whatever.. I wait all day and no one comes.. so then I call this afternoon and say " no one came today".. so the lady on the phone reads her notes and says the florist said "it's not my fault she's allergic".. WHAT THE?

The lady from 1-800 flowers says.. um... golden rod is not even IN the arrangement it's just a dozen gerberas and italian Rucus.. and if he was substituting ANYTHING the florist was supposed to call my hubby.. Anyway.. she calls them and orders a full refund.. but honestly.. 2 strikes your out!! How do you go from 12 gerberas to 3? And then they wilt as soon as they get here, and THEN you put in golden rod as a "filler"?? gAH!!!

Anyway.. i guess i'll just enjoy the one loan daisy.. bah !

Unbelievable!

A digital photo and an email to them with it might have kicked their butts into gear.

How incompetent can a company be??

Sorry to hear about that E.

Mephys,

I was going to write something here so I could see if you would respond....to ensure i'm not on your ignore list

I hear you, it's that darn off topic forum - I think it is interesting how people can set a tone in a forum - if some of the people that post in OT came in here and posted the same they would be sent packing - and the same is true in reverse (ie: go in there an post something that is not offensive and someone will flame you for it). (Also true in some regional forums)

When I made that comment about OT the other day I kind of down played it a bit - it's not that some of the people in OT are just weird...they are really WEIRD - these are people, if you met them at a party would have you running out the door - so I understand your wanting to drop out.

That said, as Carla mentioned, I hope you don't leave, stay here in the Canada forum and talk to us

And Emancipation - how completely annoying, instead of getting a beautiful bouquet you ended up trying to get some customer service...blah!

Hubby made it all better... he bought me another bouquet yesterday on the way home to replace the bad one He's a keeper!!

[Mephys 2]

No I am not gonna link, because I wouldn't even know which one to link anyways But this is agaisnt TOS and would be obivously obvious that I am dragging attention on someone.

No it's not you Carla, or Trailmix, or Spirit or E, you are among the people I come here to read. Same for Laura, Kri, Sprailenes, Cat, Marilyn, BH45. I am probably forgetting someone, but you gals are my bunch, the people I know the best on VJ and the people I am looking forward to talk to.

The posts I am venting about are unfortunately not in OT. They are in the Canada forum, and are breaking that spirit we have in here. I must admit I do lurk in OT once in a while, and while it bothers me sometimes, it's not nearly as bad as how this is irritating me....

Anyways. nuff said.

Awww, E I am sad the company screwed up your hubby's surprise, but glad he is a keeper

Hubby had flowers sent to me a few times (like huge bouquet that was almost as tall as me, with Roses bigger than my hands) and now that we are with the kids, the 5 yo always ask him if they can by me flowers when they go shopping of Fridays So I regularly come home with a nice bouquet He's teaching his kids the right way

The cats love the flowers too...a little too much unfortunately....

Your hubby clearly has a clue on these things too..

Hubby also got me Chaplin - Robert Downey Jr. - He knows I love the little messed up actor so much, it's actually a great flick (what I saw of it last night )

I know what you mean and I have been finding it irritating too

How can you not let it bother you, unless you are feeling-less - but like you say - oh well, what can you do.
