the daily rant

[Hey-O]

which brings us to one of our favorite Thanksgiving family stories.......... I was a baby, and have to take everyone's word for it; but my sisters would never lie

Mom and the girls made a bunch of homemade jam and capped the jars with wax. They were stored on a shelf at the bottom of the basement steps. Apparently, everyone was a farmer back then; Pop had a few pigs, chickens, ect; and rats were not uncommon.

Well, somehow a rat got into the basement and chewed through the wax to get to the jam which obviously had everyone freaking out. Evidently the old man sat on the basement step for hours with a 12 ga.; LOL. he was a patient man.......... anyway, about 330 AM let him have it with both barrels; problem solved. My older brother's had to clean up the mess.

I cannot believe it's been 8 days........... 3 different types of trap, 2 of each; peanut butter, ricotta cheese, strawberry jam........ nuttin

Then Morty decides he's seen enough, has a "Hold my beer" moment; and slays the mouse!........ good job Morty!

You can't compete with a good mouser

Did you have to threaten him with a replacement feline? Typical cat, just long enough to really piss you off before they do their job, then strut around like a king.
Ricotta cheese?, was it an Italian mouse?

High end residence using ricotta cheese! No more Mr. Jingles!

We don't do mice! If my wife EVER knew there was one near my house, little less in my house, it would have been on the news. Have you ever seen the National Guard pull up in full panic mode...........

Morty last Christmas

I might send him out to do collections, he's pretty intimidating

 

[moparwacko]

Maybe all it took was a little persuasion on your part?

Since he's learned the ropes, now he can drop presents for you.

My daily rant today:

I ordered 1,000 rounds of .223 from Wild Horse Ammo, not realizing that they require photo ID in Washington state. When they requested a copy of my driver's license, I told them to cancel my order as I have NEVER received that request over many purchases from many companies. They cancelled the order immediately, then informed me I would be paying a 5% cancellation fee, as described in the terms and conditions. I wasn't aware of that (my fault) and told them I didn't want to pay a fee for nothing so please reinstate my order. They refused! I read the terms and conditions carefully and nowhere does it say that an order cancelled by customer request cannot be reinstated. I explained this to no avail, and they kept 5% of my money. I consider this an unacceptable business practice, and I intend pursue it through my credit card company.

It would also be hilarious if a few hundred of you copied and pasted the following message to [email protected]

In light of your business practice to charge your customers a fee when an order is cancelled, I will never buy any product from Wild Horse Ammo. Have a nice day.

Or ad lib if you'd like. It would be pretty awesome if they get this message from all over the country/world. Have a nice day!

Haven’t sparred a live round since July because overworked with moving into the new house and all that goes with it. I’m tired but go in anyway. Only free body is some white belt who is about 60lbs heavier than me and much taller. Half my age. I tell him I’m his rest round so chill. Thirty seconds later my ankle is definitely badly damaged possibly torn because his fat *** falls on it because he’s overzealous and doesn’t know how to roll with a guard pull. Now I can hardly drive even with it in a brace. Which is doubly great since the roads are all snow.
