Why Did I Buy This Thing?

Week 1

I have been a loyal customer of Comcast for at least 4 years.  In that time, my internet and/or cable service was interrupted 4 times.  Each time this occurred, I would call the Customer Service line and find out that there was a past due amount. The first three times, I had forgot the schedule the payment and was a few days past due.  Really?  You'll shut off my service for being past due a few days? 

Ok, you may have seen our review for the Columbia Coretek WP Hiking Boots, but what about those Omni-Heat electric boots??  I must say, paying $350 to $450 dollars gets me pretty warm just thinking about it, do we really need a USB charged battery pack for a few extra degrees?
 

 Wow.  If you would've told me 6 months ago that it would take 6 months to install 2 windows, I would've called you crazy.  Now, I'd probably call you Jack Tilka.  These amazing people have given me the runaround since the beginning of the install.

 Ok, maybe I shouldn't say 'Finally', its not like the music was never available.  I just couldn't find it in the stores and many of the sites I frequent to purchase MP3's hadn't made it available yet.  Alas, "Everybody Knows It's Going To Happen Only Not Tonight" is available from Amazon's music library.

 Here we go again... Its been over a month since I reported about the unfortunate interactions regarding my purchase of 2 windows from Jacks Wholesale Windows.  Currently its been over 100 days since the date of purchase and I still have partially installed crooked windows.

Based on the recommendation made earlier on this site for the Bliptronic 5000, I recently purchased one as a gift for friend who is a bit more musically inclined than I.  In fact, when the Bliptronic was presented, there were several musicians around to see the unwrapping.  It was like each one of those musicians received the gift.  The synthesizer was passed around for a few hours, each new user filled with delight as if was a gift unto them.

Don't get me wrong, polygons are very important shapes and I appreciate them greatly.  Unfortunately, I paid to have more equally sided rectangle windows installed. 

Buyers remorse barely touches what I'm feeling now.  I am filled with deep regret over my purchase through Jacks Wholesale Windows.  In my initial review of Jacks Wholesale Windows  service, I gave them the benefit of the doubt in that I was optimistic that they could redeem themselves.  Boy was I wrong. 

If you live in the Mid-West, Jacks Wholesale Windows may be an option for you.  You may want to read about my experience working with them before you sign anything.

I finally bought an iPod touch because the opportunity to pick up a brand new 2nd Generation iPod dropped in my lap.  $100 seemed like a steal at the time.  What helped fuel my decision to purchase the iPod was that the forums for my Vera by Mi Casa Verde was sprinkled with praise about the sleek interface.  This was to be my Home Automation controller extender.
