A dog’s view

by

It's the rainy season here in S. FL right now so it's not unusual to walk outside and have blue skies with white clouds and a dark cloud lingering above waiting to pour on you.

I gave in (being the good mommy I am lol) and … [Read more...] about Birds creep me out

Bad vs Good Customer Service

by

Okay yesterday my cell phone finally decided to die with no way to repair it. I knew it's day was coming, had hoped to prolong it though. I dealt with having no phone on Sunday and part of today before giving in and heading off to TMobile. Well I get there this morning and some nastyattitudey girl was working there.
