Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

Employment applications always ask whom to call in case of an emergency. I always say ‘an ambulance.’

Don’t you get tired of having to prove you’re not a robot? I sure do.

But… you’re a Bluebird! How could anybody ever confuse you with a robot? 😉
Yes, I do get tired of it. One website wanted me to prove I wasn’t a robot after every time I put an item in the cart, before it would let me continue shopping. That’s not a user friendly way to do business. I call that User Surly. 😦

I had that happen once too! I definitely would have given up if I hadn’t wanted the things so badly. It’s almost as if they were testing me, to gauge how desperately I wanted them…

Right, I would have given up, too, if I hadn’t really wanted those items. I sent their customer service a polite complaint, and they fixed the issue immediately, yaay!

Bless you for taking the time to send that polite complaint. You saved other people some needless frustration.

I love the sand trap and the recharging magic wand in particular. Cartoonists have such nimble minds! Thanks for sharing.

Very funny–thanks from someone who is reluctantly getting a cellphone for business use only and still hates them–

I hate them too, although I suppose one of these days I’ll be forced to break down and get one. I’m extremely absent-minded, so having to keep track of a small, expensive, easy-to-misplace device — not to mention having to remember to recharge the %$#@! thing — is bound to be a major source of stress. Just what I need more of in my life. 😦

They have some oriented for seniors (and children) actually that have less monetary value–the one I got was $49.00 refurbished, and there are companies that offer free simple models–and I got a pay-as-you-go plan meaning that I pay for a month in advance on a debit/credit card. The ONLY reason i got it was because of the fact that many others in the world want to use phone and text to make tarot appointments with me, and if I am downtown at my office four days a week without a way of being contacted by clients, I could easily miss calls to book or cancel or change appointments. I will certainly disable the tracking device aspect of it and the other things i dislike–no facebook or rubbish like that for me.

I think the geeks have already inherited the Earth, some of the richest people on Earth made their fortunes from the tech revolution. Myself I have limited technical whizkidd ability which probably explains my limited finances.
