Let Sleeping Dogs Rant

[Ontarkie 13,980]

So I complained about my Roborok vacuum on Amazon review. I have had it almost a year and well I didn't like it as much as their other version. I got a email from Roborok and they wanted some video's and pictures. They asked a lot of questions and then offered to fix it. They sent me a postage paid shipping label and I shipped it off. I didn't expect too much out of it. Just simple we fixed it here you go. 

 

Yesterday I found a box outside. Brought it is and it felt like my vacuum. I opened it up and saw the box. I'm thinking hmm they put it in a new box, no way did they send me a new one. Open it up and yes it is a totally new vacuum. I charged it up and now it's running through the house and so much more quiet. I can actually walk away from it and not hear it in another room.  I'm impress with this and will see more when it is done cleaning if it picks up and holds the dirt better.

nutritious

 

I just learned after moving here that Louisiana has huge rats called nutria.  We were driving by a vacant lot one day --

 

MrChancy:  "That's the field where I saw a lot of rats."

Chancy:  "How could you have seen them small critters while driving?"

MrChancy:  "Well, they're around 10 to 20 lbs big..."

Chancy:  😲

I waited all day for the inlaws to show up so I can fix a fil's phone. First time they have been back since March. Ya I'm not over it yet.

I feel this to my bones....

My father....

So help me.....I  may strangle him.....

He comes I to my office and throws sh77 at me...his phone (and wants me to fix the video of himself that plays as a screen saver or how to get the stream of letters running across the bottom of the screen or the phone). For F's sake....I  was in college in 1996 and two of my classmates did a report on this new thing called "the world wide web" that was going to take over the world and I actually said "that's crazy and will never take on"....I probably wouldn't come to me for technology advice....

My MIL is the worse of the two. She does this passive aggressive junk and she will do it to the kids. Well my younger two are not her favourite as they have sass and aren't afraid to use it.  MIL likes to say if I said one word to my kids they would listen they wouldn't disobey me and all this #######. Well my husband turned out to be one of her kids and seems to think she has lost her marbles.
