All Purpose Rant Away Thread - 3.2.1 GO!

I ordered dd a Jake and the Neverland pirate ship for xmas on friday from Walmart for 30.00. I check the SC blog today and the price has dropped to 17.00. Of course Walmart won't give price adjustments for clearance so I have to reorder it and figure out how to return the first one without dd seeing it be returned.

And I was up to 4 am with dd cus she's sick, the battery died in my new thermometer I just bought two weeks ago, so I had to run to Shoppers to get new batteries. The second I get dd out of the car she pukes on me and I had to go through the store with my pants covered in puke.

Hope you got swift service in the store since you had a sick child! Mom award for action in a tough situation.

WHO study being released as a big revelation linking processed meat to cancer risk. I think we all knew about this yet it is being blown up as a new revelation. Nobody could think bacon 24/7 is good for you. Everything in moderation.

awww, crap. Now I want bacon!

[seylz_gurl]

^hey, I just ate a double bacon cheeseburger right before the study came out. double crap lol.

^ Honestly, I had no idea this 'no bacon' would also spur me to have bacon on my mind - cooked up some this morning to have with tomato on toast; will have more with kasha tomorrow. Yum.

Another rant for PC Plus...

Tried to push forward a REGULAR offer on one of my cards in the app, and what does it show. "You Cannot push forward this offer". I am beyond the point of anger with PC, PC Plus, and PC Financial. I think it was because i pushed it forward 3 times already. SO BEWARE, no more than 3 pushforwards. WalMart, START A REWARDS PROGRAM, not just the rewards mastercard, please!!!. I don't wanna shop at Superstore ANYMORE

And another rant I just remembered now from a little while ago. I was trying to get my first credit card through PC Financial with my stepmother as a co-sign, but they said that they don't do co-signing. Now i'm stuck with the soon to be devalued Scotia Scene Visa. At that point, I wanted the mastercard to get more PC points to get free groceries. 10pts/$1 is a lot better than the finicky 5pts/$1 on debit. (90% of the time, my points don't post and I have to put in an inquiry, done about 6-8 in the past 2 months for it)

So, in my closing of this rant, I will simply say that WalMart is starting to look much more tempting to shop at than stupid superstore!!

Why not get a MasterCard from Walmart then?
You can be approved instantly at a cashier and they are generous with their credit limits. I actually canceled my PC MasterCard because I had them for four years and they never put the limit higher than 2k. Walmart also offers a higher limit during a transaction at the cashier too

someone wake up and walk the dogs please?

Three people on our block already have Christmas decorations up (and on at night). I'm all for decorating but Halloween isn't even over yet. October for Christmas decorations? Geesh!

SIL rant and grumble
First somehow my phone bill was delivered to her house. We made arrangements for me to pick it up at my MILs the next day. So I drive into town SOLELY to get my bill aaaand she forgot it. So I drove into town for nothing. Grrrrr
Grumble- she has got to get those kids of hers into a dentist. The oldest is in first grade and has a mouth full of cavities. And the youngest has started kindergarten and he has a couple starting. She feeds them candy all the time and doesn't make them brush their teeth.. So gross.
And on a side note, the youngest spent his first day at school in the principles office for spitting on people. Hehehehe!

Mainly because I have already applied, and denied for other cards before and I don't think my credit score could handle it. I have applied for a total of 4 different cards over the past year (Costco, Scota twice, and MBNA), and I already have my Scene with 1k limit. I'm only in University and don't want to risk my credit now. But in the future I may get the WalMart Mastercard, or maybe one of the Scotia Momentum Visas.
