I may have actually spelled "ALBUEQUERQUE" properly...pretty darn close anyway. I had a spell-checker/grammar-corrector Chrome "app"...but after using the free version for a couple months without actually buying it---it started cutting me off. A message would come on the screen saying something like:
"YOU'VE REACHED YOUR LIMIT OF 10 MISTAKES THIS WEEK" and it would shut off on me! I would have to actually think again!! It's horrible. I got so mad I deleted it---no piece of technology is gonna hold me hostage!
So now I'm looking for a new free spell-checker. One that's a little friendlier, less demanding.
BTW....to Red Means Go --thank you for the kind words which weren't coerced in any way
--What was I going to do--Nail the guy for $35.00 for a program he accidentally ordered and can't use?
I never read everything either....I check the hi-lites, the cost, sounds good--yeh okay I'm in! Later on is when I find out more about it LOL.
Why do you all buy MACs anyway?
Okay now...let me get to my feel good story:
I'm up one night as I always am..and a guy sends me an email. He says he doesn't have PayPal, is it possible to just send me a money order, or cash?
Now, if you've never done internet business, you have no way of knowing this---but almost 100 out of 100 times, the 'No PayPal Guy" is trying some kind of scam to avoid actually buying whatever it is you are selling.
I'm not making that up, I'm not just an old scrooge...you can ask anyone you know who sells online. This is going to be in my online blog BTW.
It really irks me sometimes--I sell my program very inexpensively....and I still get some people who just don't want to pay for the dang thing.
I saw a guy steal an ice cream bar in the Dollar Store...so anything's possible. So getting back to my internet guy.....(he reads Pace Advantage so he'll see this) he asks if he can send cash...So there was just something about him, maybe I don't know...but I tell him "yeah sure, but instead of sending me cash--make a $5 bet on the Early Double @ Belmont tomorrow morning--Criss-Cross the PACE VIEW top two picks in the 1st and 2nd race.
That will cost you $20 bucks--if you win, send me $35....if you lose---keep the program with my compliments---fair enough?
So I send off that e-mail...and never hear back from him. Okay I'm not surprised--he got me. No biggie, I had it coming for trusting yet another person with no PAY PAL.
I think it was later the next day (I didn't even look to see if the double hit--that's how much faith I had in this guy) ...I get an e-mail from him. I'm thinking he's probably gonna say he needs cab fare to go collect that payoff or something.
The e-mail says "Sorry NCG, I got called in to work and never got to make any bets...I'll get your money to you---thanks."
So by now within a minute I've completely forgotten about this man. Been very busy with "real' customers, etc. So today I go out and check the mail---and get a letter from Texas.
I open it up...it's from this man, who happens to be from Texas---enclosed is $35.00 CASH.
Sir if you read this--you seriously have restored much of my faith in people.
I was stationed in Texas during the Army--in know Texans to be decent people---thank you very much. Anything you need---let me know--NCG
