			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I swear, people are unbelievable.  Got ready to pay our credit card and before I do that I always check over our statement online.  I saw a charge I didn&#8217;t recognize as KHBILL.COM so I called the hubbs and asked if he charged anything I didn&#8217;t know about.  He said no.  So I went to the website and the following came up:</p>
<p><strong><em>Why was I billed?</em></strong></p>
<p><em>You purchased a product, membership or subscription from a website that uses Jettis International&#8217;s services. You should have received an email receipt at time of purchase. If you do not have your receipt, use the Account Information Retrieval Form to view purchase details. </em></p>
<p><strong><em>Why do I have multiple charges?</em></strong></p>
<p><em>For your convenience, many subscription-based websites renew your membership until you cancel. For more information, visit the website to which you subscribed. If you&#8217;ve subscribed to multiple websites, the charges will be listed separately. </em></p>
<p><strong><em>How can I stop the billing?</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Fill out the Account Cancellation Form. Once you&#8217;ve cancelled, you will not be billed again after the date of your cancellation. To maximize the value of your membership, your access will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.   Customer Service support is powered by Jettis International, a division of Jettis, Inc. Click here for Customer Support.</em></p>
<p>Guess what you need in order to verify your supposed subscription?  That&#8217;s right, your credit card number!  (That should be the first tip off!)  Oh they tell you you can provide your subscription number (which there is none because you didn&#8217;t subscribe to anything), your credit card number and email address and conveniently you only need to provide 2 of the 3 items listed in order to get any info!  How nice of them!  So you mean I can provide you with my email address AND my credit card number so you can charge to your hearts content and spam my email too!?  Lucky me! </p>
<p>Unfortunately there are plenty of people out there that would give up this information to get the $39.95 or whatever amount they charged to get it removed.  Guess what?  They&#8217;ll also charge you repeatedly!  We haven&#8217;t gotten to that point but after some online research, many have.  I called the number for giggles and guess what they ask for in order to verify your account?  Credit card number AND expiration date!  Are there really people out there stupid enough to hand that info over to complete strangers in this day and age??  Oh and don&#8217;t forget if &#8220;you&#8221; paid by check there&#8217;s a little logo for that too!  I&#8217;m sure it asks for your checking account number and routing number but I wasn&#8217;t going to click it to find out.</p>
<p>I am blogging about this so that others who may get an email from the many company fronts this place uses can rest assured that this IS a scam, you MUST cancel your credit card and dispute the charges and under no circumstances do you email them!  I would also delete the cookies in your documents and settings folder and restart just to be safe.</p>
<p>Some of the names associated with this scam are : <strong>KHBILL.COM,  Jettis International,  Jettis Inc and Kelker Holdings, Ltd. and Nicosia Cyprus</strong> were listed at the bottom of the page.  Based on some research apparently <strong>EELimit.com</strong> is also associated and other various porn sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know my husband worked at a place who had a dirty reputation before he started.  There was no insider trading or drugs being sold out of the back rooms (that we know of) but the reputation came straight from the bowels of the operation&#8230;the bathrooms.  The people perpetuating the reputation?  The cleaning people who had to clean them, who incidentally cleaned our building.  They would always say how they loved cleaning our bathrooms over the building behind us so we asked why.  With a shiver, one of the cleaning people revealed tales of nose goblins (aka- boogers) and feces (for those not down with the techical term&#8230;poop) on the walls, floor and even the ceiling once.  How does one even accomplish this?  Never mind, I don&#8217;t want to know.  We would all wretch at the mere mention of this and blamed it on the low class bill collectors that occupied that floor.  (I&#8217;m not knocking bill collectors as a whole because unfortunately I used to be one at a law firm but these people were truly like they were in some kind of release program.) </p>
<p>Hubby has moved on and thought his booger and shit days were behind him.  Well apparently some dregs have gotten into his workplace because he commented yesterday there was a nugget of crap on the floor and he refused to use the bathroom on that floor.  He said how stepping in dog crap is one thing but stepping in human crap is just so unacceptable.  I told him it was because humans have a choice!</p>
<p>So to the mannerless douchebags of the world who get some kind of sick thrill by wiping their nasal and anal excrement on walls of bathrooms, KNOCK IT OFF!!!  Do you do that at your own house??  Not likely or your woman would divorce you!  Given how many germs are already floating in the bathroom anyway, I pray with everything in me that when you wipe your boogers on a wall that there is some horrific bacteria on the wall that you then insert back into your nose when mine for goodies again and you come down with flesh eating bacteria.  That would serve you right, to have your nose begin to erode and have to have it amputating.  The bacteria should go to people who actually deserve it, not the innocent people who typically get it.  Oh and learn to aim on a toilet.  I think that people who crap on the floor or on the toilets instead of in them should have DNA tests run on the turd to identify the person responsible and then they are made to clean the bathrooms for a month top to bottom after someone else has been named the designated crapper so they can see what its like to clean up someone else&#8217;s crap!!!  I cannot believe in this day and age we have full grown adults walking around with this problem!!!!  Grow up you disgusting pigs!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Or at least fire all of their writers.  I&#8217;m watching the Seth Rogen episode and his talent is being completely wasted as are most hosts these days.  I grew up on SNL and always looked forward to it.  I&#8217;ve held on through the rough times and the bad casts but this is just ridiculous.  The skits are always too long and basically they don&#8217;t know when to stop. </p>
<p>I mean what ass wrote the skit where Rogen accidentally puts &#8220;You&#8217;re the One That I Want&#8221; on a CD that goes out to 50,000 clients and most of the skit consists of his &#8220;co-workers&#8221; who worked hard on the program that was supposed to be on the CD glaring at him while the song plays?  Then the big boss walks in and asks how he knew that was his favorite song and it ends.  WTF???  How is that remotely funny?  These writers have really sucked the past few years and at this point I would rather see it cancel than continue to be a continuous poop skid in the toilet it&#8217;s being flushed down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If anyone reads this, I feel I am remiss in not introducing you to both of my neighbors.  One has the demon dog that she refuses to train and then there&#8217;s our other neighbor&#8230;techno boy.  He&#8217;s playing it right now at 9pm.  Now I&#8217;m not an old fart, I don&#8217;t get overly irritated unless it&#8217;s past 10pm and after 11pm. it&#8217;s just not acceptable.  Acceptable music levels means I should not have to turn up my tv because you have the need to get your beat on.  I often imagine what it is that makes him randomly bust out his rad beats on a Wednesday night at 8:50pm and worse, what he&#8217;s doing.  Let me first describe him.  He&#8217;s probably about 5&#8242;6&#8243;, has the hair fringe that he opted to shave but you can still see the stubble, thin and in his late 30&#8217;s, early 40&#8217;s.  I get this horrific vision of him all oiled up in leather pants, no shirt (kind of like Right Said Fred&#8217;s little brother) doing booty shakes and pops while a strobe light flashes.  Sometimes it takes a worse turn and I picture him doing lewd things with the windows open because the techno told him to.  It usually lasts for 20-30 minutes and then he&#8217;s done.  One day I should really try to walk past and see if he has the decency to close the windows or maybe I don&#8217;t want to do that.  It would be bad to see my heinous visions were anywhere near right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The one good thing about having a blog is when some websites you buy from don&#8217;t allow you to review a piece of crap you bought from them, you can do it yourself!  So if you are looking for a multi-tiered plant stand like I was and see <a href="http://www.improvementscatalog.com/product/eucalyptus-3-tier-plant-stand.do" target="_blank">this</a> beautiful wood one from Improvements Catalog, beware.   There&#8217;s a decent amount of assembly which is probably best with 2 people.  I was hoping this folded up to store away neatly for the winter.  Nope.  I put a flower box on it and it bowed like there was a person on it.  By mid summer the finish had well worn off in spots and it began looking pretty ragged.  When we removed the plants at the end of the season, the stand was permanently bowed and isn&#8217;t even worth saving.  I wouldn&#8217;t waste my money on this thing.  It looks really pretty in the picture but bottom line is, its poorly made and not worth the effort to assemble unless you plan on putting knick knacks or something light on it.</p>
<p>To go to the product, click <a href="http://www.improvementscatalog.com/product/eucalyptus-3-tier-plant-stand.do" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know how many people watch those home shows on HGTV like My First Home or House Hunters and the like but I can say I watch them alot.  I don&#8217;t know what my (or others) obsession is with it but there&#8217;s something weirdly entertaining about watching other people shop for their dream home and yelling at the television as though they can hear you. </p>
<p>In this crappy economy, we&#8217;ve heard alot about &#8220;predatory lenders&#8221; which is essentially when banks give people who can&#8217;t afford a mortgage these crazy terms like balloon mortgages or reverse interest mortgages or paying one mortgage at one percentage rate while paying a 2nd mortgage at another interest rate and these people, being desperate, fall for it.  Then they wonder why they&#8217;re being foreclosed on??  I&#8217;m sorry but I don&#8217;t really feel sorry for these people.  Are the lenders fully responsible for this foreclosure crisis?  No, because it&#8217;s the person who wants the home so desperately that has the final say.  These people should be going over their monthly finances and have some elbow room to save for emergencies, vacations or whatever and not be married to the house with no way to have a life outside of it.  (Unless they pay with plastic and pretend they aren&#8217;t going to have a crapload of debt until the bill collectors start calling.) </p>
<p>I just watched &#8220;My First Home&#8221; where this couple had looked at a house after like 40 homes and they had an inspection and there was a laundry list of things wrong with it including the outside wall was going to collapse at some point and would cost $30-40K to repair.  They walked away from it and I thought &#8220;finally, people with some sense!&#8221;  Well the seller comes back a few weeks later and lowers the payment by $15K by repairing some of the minor things and they&#8217;re like &#8220;okay, problem solved!&#8221;  Not only that, they got one of those 80/20 loans, were $130/mo over their max and now the lady has to get a 2nd job to afford the mortgage.  REALLY??  I do not feel sorry for these people who are so blinded by a pretty house (to them, this place was a purple nightmare) that all common sense walks out the window.  I say we call it as we see it and admit that 80% of the housing market collapse can be blamed on people like this with unrealistic expectations and are desperate to accept any terms the lender gives rather than buckle down and save up for when they can truly afford it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know it amazes me about the whole social networking phenomenon is people&#8217;s incessant need to have as many &#8220;friends&#8221; as possible to prove to others that they&#8217;re &#8220;popular.&#8221;  Like I have a family member who has over 1500 friends.   Could she really pick these people out of a lineup?  I mean if they&#8217;re supposed to be friends, then she should know each and every one of their faces in detail, right?  What amuses me the most is the whole high school social acceptance thing.  People who have been out of school for a decade or more that add people that they genuinely did not like in high school or didn&#8217;t hang out with.  I know several people on both Facebook and Myspace who add anyone and everyone in high school because they asked.  I saw a friend add someone who I distinctly remember she called a &#8220;skanky, lying bitch&#8221; but now they&#8217;re buddies after having not seen nor spoken to each other since high school.  How does this make sense??  I mean these people have access to your pictures, your private thoughts, your likes and dislikes and you&#8217;re essentially opening yourself up to be judged by these people all over again.  Would I want a skanky, lying bitch having access to that stuff?  NO!  I can&#8217;t count how many times I&#8217;ve seen people added as friends and then those people never write a word on the person&#8217;s wall/page.  Yeah, because they don&#8217;t KNOW you and they don&#8217;t care enough about you to do so!  Get the hint.  They added you because they were too nice to say no or ignore you.</p>
<p>Maybe the man and I take the whole thing too seriously but we add people that we actually consider friends&#8230;gasp!  The concept!?  I may sound like some uber dweeb that was rejected by all of the social groups and is bitter or something but I&#8217;m not.  I was a &#8220;neutral.&#8221;  I knew people in every social clique- cheerleaders, jocks, nerds, hoods, drama, goth and of course the neutrals I hung out with.  But honestly, I could count on one hand how many people I actually would care to know anything about from high school to catch up with in an email but add them as a friend, no thanks.  I just don&#8217;t see the point in reconnecting with people who never sought me out up to that point so that they can add to their friend count.  So my friend count will remain just under 30 and I&#8217;m fine with that.  I don&#8217;t need to add the cashier from the grocery store, a dude I met at a party, a friend of a friend of a guy I had a crush on in 5th grade or the security guard at the front gate to make myself feel more important.  My circle of true friends has always been intimate and my friend count will reflect that on my social networking pages.  If that makes me unpopular, so be it but I&#8217;d rather be real than trying to fool myself into thinking all 1000 people on my page actually gave a squirt of wee about me.  Think about it and if need be, weed your social networking garden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that you need to pay EXTRA to plug in a new appliance?  That&#8217;s right, just because you spend thousands of dollars on an appliance does not mean it comes with the cord you need in which to plug it in to operate it.  Mmm hmm.  You need to pay an extra $9.99 for the power cord.  When the hell did this become acceptable???  For every appliance maker out there nickel and diming the paying public by charging them for the luxury of operating their own appliance, shame on you and I hex your own appliances so you two may have to pay such a ridiculous fee for something that should be included!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re like us and ordered the Twin Draft Guards when it was oh&#8230;0 degrees outside, chances are you got a rude awakening and were told it was on backorder after you ordered.  I checked twice to see when it was coming in and was told they couldn&#8217;t give me an estimate.  We saw them at Bed, Bath and Beyond for HALF the price of what they advertise on tv for the same ones.  So we grabbed them and ran home to cancel.  Oh, surprise of surprises, they just happened to ship it that day and could not cancel the order.  (Something tells me this is their practice when people are tired of waiting, tell them it was sent and get it out the next day.)  Hubby cut them to fit and honestly, we noticed no real difference and the one on the garage door moves constantly when you open the door and you end up shutting the door on it.  Then you shove it back in its place angrily and close the door and grumble.  The box we received from them directly was badly damaged so there&#8217;s no way we could&#8217;ve sent it back without packing taping it to death which I also think was on purpose since I called to cancel and they wanted to make it harder to send it back.  Trust me, it left the factory in this condition, I highly doubt the shipping company did it.  So we&#8217;ll be taking the ones we got a Bed, Bath and Beyond back because it&#8217;s not worth having extras around the house and given how crappy they are, I&#8217;d be embarrassed to give it as a gift.</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;ll have better luck than we did but we just did not see any kind of noticeable difference and especially not one that made it worth the almost $30 we paid by the time they screwed us on shipping too.  (Because remember when you order direct you get their crappy over the door hooks to hang something on until the spot welds give out.) </p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re going to buy the Twin Draft Guards, go to Bed, Bath and Beyond and get it for <strong>$9.99 and no shipping costs!</strong></p>
