Friday

Yes, folks, it's Friday, that magical day of the work week where you know in a few hours, it's all done, you're going home (or wherever you may like to go after Friday work) and you get 2 days off.  The miracle of the weekend. 

Meanwhile, the eBay seller that attempted to give me the shaft continues to have negative feedbacks pouring in.  No surprise there. Some poor soul bought 2, separate items from this seller who found that both items were not as described OR pictured in the seller's auction.  Surprising that, either.  That's what he attempted to get away with with me.  He's a freaking scammer and I hope eBay continues to monitor that guy's activities and eventually put him out of business.  Anyway, the person that bought the items got their money refunded, yes, but that person had to pay to send the stuff back!! BS!!! 

Plans for the weekend:  Not sure yet. I have these ponds to deal with, I just haven't had any motivation to do much of anything outside in the last almost week now.  It's the heat.  I will adjust eventually and then head back out there, but right now, it's not very appealing.  It may be a clean the windows and sills and get on hands and knees and clean floor crevices and such weekend instead. 

I was happy to see that Greene was kept as the nominee for the democratic party in SC.  Not because I think anything of Greene - I wouldn't vote for the man in a pall's stonebearer's step, but, the people voted and that's what they came up with.  You can't just come along and say, "Weeeeeellllll, I don't like the guy and he has no chance of winning, so let's oust him and get someone else in here".  I guess they can, but it can be challenged in the state's Supreme court - I have doubts that a panel of those judges are going to look favorably on an institution that "didn't get it's way, so they're going to make sure they force their way upon the situation".  But who knows.  The man apparently can't speak his mind very well, doesn't want to speak to reporters and basically keeps to himself.  It's a very strange situation if you ask me. 

Well, the work day approaches.  There is nothing in there to do.  There WAS going to be something, but it has been put off until Wednesday.  Which means I will probably be out back pushing a broom again - there are a lot of rocks all over the asphalt and it really doesn't look very good.  I got a lot of it the other day, maybe I'll finish that little project this morning.

Anyway, have a great day!

Sorry to hear about the seller being less than forthcoming.

I've been buying and selling on eBay for 11 years now - that's how long my user id has been in effect and that's how long I've been using it. I only know that because eBay has a page that tells you all that stuff about yourself - I was amazed. Doesn't seem that long since I first bought something that - was the worst eBay deal I have ever had, even worse than this one. Well, this one turned out okay since I got all of my money back. It happens - dealing with strangers you just never know.
