It's was a long 3 day weekend. I had a very nice Labor day. spent it with family.(people i love the most!)
Here's wishing everyone the arrival of something great in their mailbox tomorrow
I don't know about you, but it brightens up my day!
I've got my fingers crossed for everyone.
Maybe it will be an Xbox 360 or a Wii?
Maybe it will be a $100 visa gift card?
Or maybe it'll be cold hard cash?
Good Luck ! :wave:
 
lol, Im hoping for a wii, from the shrek contest. Hmm I hoping for anything from the shrek contest, except broken bow and arrows :nono:

I really want a new dvd to watch, so I'm hoping to win one, or for one to just surprise me and show up in my mailbox. :wave:
 
Im glad ya had a nice weekend. The weather here was gorgeous. very nice weekend. I hope we all get something great in the mail today. no bills. :nono:
 
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for us all to get a goodie in the mail today! It makes it hard to type, though! LOL!!

Anything in the mail would be better than the funny little debacle I had recently! Check this out:

I do product testing, the kind where they mail you a product (usually food, household cleaners, or personal care items) have you try it out and then e-mail you a survey to tell them what you though about the product and certain aspects of it. About a month and a half ago I got a product test for Miracle Whip, or a mayo somewhat like it (all I know is the fact I use miracle whip got me this test). During this time we were having weather over 100 degrees every day with 90% humidity or higher, just awful and oppressive. Well... they packed a GLASS jar by taping one thickness of small size bubble wrap around it and setting it in a box with at least an inch of open space around the jar on all sides and did not add anything to hold it in place. When I got it, there was absolutely no way to tell from the outside, a real testament to that cardboard box manufacturer, it didn't leak through at all. I thought I smelled something weird, but I live just outside DC, so I smell weird stuff outside all the time! :laughing:

I got it inside and opened it... ACK!!! GAG!!! BARF!!! It was a box full of broken glass and mayo so rancid it was almost the color of caramel! Even the cats ran away (and they love stinky stuff)!!

When I contacted the company, all they said was "we have no more product to send you a replacement, so you will not be able to do the test". Sheesh! Not even a "so sorry we made you spew your Wheaties". :cussing:

So at any rate, I figure as long as I don't get a box full of broken glass and rancid goo, I will be happy, even if it is bills!

Hope I made y'all laugh a little! :sunny:
 
:sunny: Sure hope we all get lots of great mail this week.

Bikerbabe, Thanks for the laugh! What an terrible mail experience!

Oh wow, that would have made me so mad. I have a really weak stomach when It comes to bad smells.
 
I would have been mad too. Yuck!!!!!!!
I used to love to do product testing. I stopped doing it, didn't get enough invites.
One time I had to make 2 pumpkin pies from scratch, and say which pie shell i liked better. they gave me money and coupons to buy the pie mix and they sent me two pie shells in a dry ice box. I enjoyed that one alot.
I hope you get something great today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got a coupon for a free can of dog food. At least my dog got a freebie!
Here's still hoping for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! :sunny:
 
That pumpkin pie test sounds great! I have never got one that good! What a coincidence - I was just telling my hubby last night that I had a craving for pumpkin pie, I swear I can eat a whole one by myself! Heck with dinner - I am eating a whole pumpkin pie! LOL!!

Best wishes for a goodie in tomorrows mail, mine hasn't come yet. I live in a very overpopulated area, sometimes we don't see the poor mailman until 9 or 10 at night! It's usually around 6, though.
 
You don't get your mail sometimes until 9 or 10! Wow. my dad wouldn't be able to handle that.
by noon he's "where's the mailman?" (he's always waiting at the bit.) I think he gets more excited to see what I won , than i get.
I enjoy pumpkin pie too. I didn't like it when i was younger, but now that i'm older I enjoy it. especially now that the fall is approaching.

speaking of fall, it's approach is coming. Me and my mom take a ride every fall, usually in october, we go to a pumpkin picking farm and we go there specifically for their apple cider donuts. they are delicious. and the bakery in town makes an apple cranberry cake that is to die for, but she only makes it during Sept./Oct. (don't know why?)
The fall season is looking/tasting good!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wave:
