Retailers

Why is it that the moment I hit the pay button, the money is gone from my account, but when I want a refund, it takes 14+ business days?

(I think someone posted this already, if so, I apologize)

That is called a cash flow problem....money has to go up hill to get back to you.

The day after the Half a Million Mexican Man March I drove thru the city hall area of Los Angeles- I was buoyed by the news that there were no arrests and no real problems the day before.


My "buoy" sank when I hit the streets around City Hall.

Trash?

All over the fricking streets. When there was no more space in the cans signs, sticks and all kind of other crap littered the streets.

My father came to the United States and instilled pride about my country and the area that I live in.

You'd think that people would care more about the country that gave them an opportunity.

Another thing?


IT GET'S ME P.Oed that people who have no regard for the laws of the US demand that the law give them citizenship....


Nope, no way, no how.

Especially when they get put ahead of the people doing it the "right" way.

Richard, I thought of you when I read this. I aplogize if you've already received this:

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo fromPres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your VP. Thank you so much for your kind help.

Deb,


I think I am going to run with some scissors now...

[Lobodeb]

How about people who go out of their way to reach out to you, offer to do something for you, then disappear when you take them up on it?

I didn't ask you for anything, you offered, why do I feel like I'm hunting you down???

People in training courses who think they know more about the subject matter than the instructors and insist on sharpshooting the lecture. (But then eat up training time because they can't do the lab tasks without 2 instructors helping them)
