There's A Very Fine Line Between Hobby and Mental Illness.

I might need an intervention!

Spent the weekend in Grande Prairie!

The hilarious thing about Michael's  this time, was Vanessa & I went in and out with the coupons (cause I had a whole whack), different times of the day, and got different cashiers!

So the big items were 40% off!

There was cake to be had!

After we went to dinner at The Keg!

I got the rest of the roll of ribbon!

I have a stamp similar to it!

These are the cake makers!

Vanessa & I.

Worked Volunteered at the casino!

Friends of The Library go between Christmas & New Years.

Finished those cards I was working on.

Vanessa's boyfriend Shawn has the BIG 3 OH coming up!

The guitar is a paper clip.

Michael's had different shapes!

Got home late Monday night.

Last night I mowed; couldn't finish cause there wasn't enough gas!

Tonight I whippersnipped where I did mow, and mowed over by the cat house.

Yesterday I had a great day!

I won some stamps over here on Sheree's blog.

And then.....Steve from Chrysler Canada called me!

Actually he called & left a message on Monday, so I called him back.

Chrysler Canada is sending me a cheque for the difference of the rental!

Remember, I was feeling screwed over!?

So I e-mailed my friend, who knows people....

This is her reply:

I'm so glad they took action Gail. You were treated poorly and I'm glad they recognized that. Chrysler really does strive to provide superior customer service and in my years of working with them they have been quite good with clients. PR Chrysler was out of line in how they treated you and sometimes those northern dealerships need to be reminded that people up there know people who know people at head office! hehehe! I'm glad you are getting a refund!

And he's following through.

He told me he spoke to the Service Manager, but unfortunately the owner was away until Monday.

He also asked me if there was another dealership I could go to.

On the way to Grande Prairie, I stopped at Fairview for an appointment.

After the whole Service department was rolling on the floor laughing, or trying not to, their Service Manager told me that "sometimes it's not about Chrysler Canada, it's about looking after the customer."

Things are good in my little world!

I'm working on my cards for.......

wait for it..............

Christmas Cards all Year 'Round!

Hope everyone's doing great!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!

I think I'll have to lump everyone together so the hole's big enough for my troubles this past week! I'll get the cheese right now.
And before I start, I just want to say that I still can't comment on some posts!?

Myrna, your stuff is great; like always!

Bonnie, I am terribly sorry for your loss.
And that right there folks will make my crap seem trivial!

Took the van to PR a week ago Monday for a sleep over.
S, in the Service Dept. at Peace River Chrysler told me, "You're right; this has gone on too long, bring the van down, we'll have a rental for you yadda yadda!"
I drove a Jeep Cheroke all last week, and I was happy, cause I wasn't vehicle-less.
Remember, this is the 6th time the van has been there, cause of the cruise control. (I still have the dust problem)
Took the rental back Saturday, picked up the van.
Monday ( July 18th) the nice lady from AVIS calls me.
"Did you know Peace River Chrysler only pays $40.00 a day?"
"I don't know why they don't tell you people that."
They paid $168.00, I paid $229 and change.
I called the manager at Peace River Chrysler, asked him if he thought that was fair, and after the "Didn't anyone tell you?"
"That's Chrysler Canada's policy, not ours."
I snapped.
I'm not a freakin mind reader!

Let's figure this out.
6 trips there and back 1200 kms at .35 a km $420.00
2 tanks of gas @ $70+ bucks a pop.
My time......12 hours of driving time, anyhoo, lets say $10 bucks an hour just for fun, never mind the waiting time, and inconvienience. Lets say 20 hours total (I'm being kind) $200.00
I'm into this for $760.00 already, and remember this is warranty.
THEN. I. HAD. TO. PAY. $229.00 FOR. THE RENTAL.
Don't forget I had to wash it & fill it up with gas before I dropped it off, I'm going to say $65.00 for that!
I'm in it for $1,054.00, just on the cruise control, which does work now thankyouverymuch.
Getting screwed over by my vehicle dealership....PRICELESS!

But wait, there's more...............
I went on Facebook, and trashed them (Peace River Chrysler), just like I'm doing here.
Apologized to everyone for the 'DRAMA' (go to the college and take a course), and one of my 'friends'  KNOWS people.
People at Chrysler Canada.
She didn't promise anything.
She's gonna make sure a LOT of people at Chrysler hears about this.
I LOVE her!

I e-mailed her a copy of the original letter I wrote them.
I had issues with the document fee.
On TV they advertised that the $150.00 document fee is negotiable.
I had to pay $499.00, for nothin'! No trade in, no financing.
And when I mentioned the ads on TV, the woman asked me "What the hell are you talking about?"
I shoulda packed it up and walked out then.
I'm so guilible, and a sucker for punishment!

Ok, I'm DUN..........................
You don't wanna know what I told the manager at Peace River Chrysler, let's just say my mom would've washed my mouth out, and then I was so frustrated I bawled!
And I gotta be REAL mad to do that!
I DO have an appointment with a dealership in another town, that is another 1/2 hour away, but oh well. Maybe they can solve my dust problem.
Shoulda bought this vehicle there, that's where we usually shop.
I'll admit to making a mistake, and it won't happen again!

K really I'm DUN.

And Wednesday night I took the peeps from the OFH for ice cream, at the hot pink ice cream shack down the highway!
They make me laugh!
We drove around aimlessly for 2 hours!
We gotta do that again!

Today I found this!
Nope the guy isn't related, but I sure laughed!

Got some pictures for you.
The moon was out the other morning!

My one & only peony this year!

The only 2 tiger lilies blooming!

Ray's peas & potatoes!

These guys are getting bigger!

I have pictures of them Here!

I've been making Sympathy cards.

I'd like to get ahead with these but it never happens.

There you have it!

It's Rodeo weekend in town! Yeee Hawwww!

Vanessa & S are on their way!

I took smokies out for a snack, and it's raining!

Got my fabulous rhubarb crisp in the oven.

All sorts of muchies and beverages out!

I told her they had to stay in the guest suite (camper), cause the whole house smells like mothballs/long story/I'll tell them when they get here!

So I've ran across the yard, turned on the hot water, put out the slide, the rug, the awning, and lit a mosquito coil for under the step; so the little critters don't hurry in when you open the door.

I'll tell you the mothball story later!

Have a good weekend!

Ta ta for now!
