New Penny, Old Results

I tried to do the penny thing again, this time w/ a bright new one, but I couldn't duplicate the better results I had in previous attempts. -sigh-

I probably shouldn't post such crappy pictures.

I'm a Squeaky Wheel

But refused to get "greased".

I was watching TV yesterday afternoon and a 3M advertisement came on, showing a new product, an "easel pad" that sticks to the wall, similar to a desktop "scratch pad".

They offered a free one if you went to their website, but when I did, I found a note that said "All samples are gone.".

That made me angry...why advertise something --even something free -- if you don't have the product? That's the first step in the classic business con game "bait 'n switch" and I emailed them and told them so, also saying that such practices made me think less of ALL of their products.

I got an email from them just now saying they'll be sending me one of the pads.

I got the power.

New Software

I downloaded a duplicate file finder and set it to index my mp3 folder so I could get rid of any doubles of songs I've put into my jukebox.

The only trouble is, it deleted all of my Nickleback except for one song.

I Get SO Cold

When I switch channels on my TV.

For some reason, when I use the "recall" button on my remote, the one I use to flit back and forth between two channels, my air conditioner turns on.

The a/c has a remote, but I'm afraid to use it; it might turn on my microwave.
