rickproehl Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 i wish to share a project i’m doing this year. There is a Facebook Group called Home for the Holidays - the group is based on LGBT teens and adults that for what ever reason have no one during this holiday time. They are only asking for a Christmas Card to be sent to them. So i got a box of cards and sent them out all over the USA. it is a simple act but it means so much to the people that receive them. just thought i would share a positive idea during this holiday season. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it's on Facebook. i know but when you read some of the stories your heart breaks for them. This idea could be used almost anywhere i’m sure there are a few GA readers that are lonely at this time of year. So if anyone is reading this and would really like a Christmas Card let me know. i still have a few left to send. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not want to join it ... but i agree, it is a nice and worthwhile thing. The mission that Michael and i donate to, they send out paper place mats at Christmas usually. They are looking for donations but ask you to write a message so the person who sits down to eat their Christmas meal can read it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them, told them what happened. A guy replied and ask me why i was unhappy and wanted to return them, and i should take pictures of the boxes and the sku numbers, whether they can be returned is up the the vendor, etc., and other crap. I wrote back, i told you i never ordered them, i dont want them, didn't pay for them, i dont know what is in the boxes because they are not opened, and why do i have to jump through all these hoops when you have sent me unrequested things? A couple of days later a delightful person named Molly wrote back. She said we are very sorry for the inconvenience, we've deposited $25.00 worth of points to your account. We do have to ask, if you would, to please pack all the boxes into a box, attached the return courier label and drop it at the nearest post office. We packed them and took it in today. The post office is across the street from us. So that is taken care of. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL tim maybe order it and send a nice email to molly and give her a heads up. i’m glad you got it fixed but it’s a shame the customer care / tech people they have on calls. The really said thing a lot of the call center jobs are being done by people in India. So it’s nice that you found a good customer care person that really does a good job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto would need to call in the army again if we got that much. No where to put the damn stuff. It was a Colorado low that kept us from travelling to our annual Christmas party. Lots of freezing rain … damn stuff. I drove in that as a cop, but no way will I unless I have to. Just is not worth the risk. Good to see you, Mac. Hope you're doing okay. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fae Briona Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Yesterday was.... well... it was yesterday. Going into work some this morning (though I'll clock it as yesterday) to make up for taking off early on Friday because of pain -- not that I have to, but will make the next week a bit less stressful if I spend a couple of hours today (ahem, yesterday) taking care of a couple of things. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm extremely grateful for having a boss that understands how the weather can affect me; and realize that I'm quite lucky as I know people who have had bosses who would have expected them to be at work if they had just been in a wreck. It helps that I still manage to take care of things. One reason for going in this morning (and I'm about to leave - got distracted) is I can get more done in two hours this morning without any distractions that I would during the week with interruptions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
