Got a new truck----Woo-Hoo!!

My brother-in-law, whom we are staying with, got a new truck on Friday. It took all day to do it, but we got one. It is a 2008 Chevy Colorado crew cab. He had a single cab Colorado, but since I have 3 kids, we all couldn't go somewhere together because that was the only vehicle that he has. So, he decided that he had saved up enough money and we went to Alexander Cheverolet. They were wonderful people there. Not uptight and pushy like alot of dealerships. But really nice people who will work with you to get you into a vehicle. Our salesperson's name was Dustin Davis so if you would like to go there, please ask for him. He traded in his old truck, which he was upside down in, but he still managed to get the truck. And my kids love it.

We had gone to a previous dealership on March 13 to get a truck at Mark Pirtle Cheverolet, which they changed their name since to Pritle & Howerton Automotive. The dealers there were rude and abusive. We went there when they were having a sale, and sent every flyers and if you came by you got a $2 bill. So he decided to go then. The salesperson that we had is Sam and he was very rude! First he was talking with the financial manager trying to get the deal going and came back and asked him when did he make the last payment on the truck. My BIL answered that he had made it the night before. He then cussed at us and threw the brand new truck key down on the desk, which bounced onto the floor and stormed out. I stood up and told my BIL that it was time to go that he needed to go and get the his truck key from the dealer. The dealer came back and told us that the payments (which he wanted to pay around $450-$470) would be $600! What?!? So we told him no way and he just wanted his key back. He then got into my face and told me that we were stupid to think that we were going to get a new truck in our price range. {Now I have to tell you that I am a red head and I don't take crap from anyone} So I said "Excuse me!" He then preceeded to tell me that I didn't know anything about cars and that I cannot walk into a dealership thinking that we we going to leave with a truck payment in our range. I explained that first that I was not stupid and in fact I knew more about repairing and taking care of cars more than my BIL did. That I had taught him how to work on his truck so he didn't have to take it somewhere to change his fluids or anything. We then walked out and noticed that the passenger side window of my BIL's truck, which didn't work and we told the salesperson this, was down. Whoever tested the truck, rolled the window down. I explained that they had to put the window back up the way it was before we got there. We were told by a different salesperson to take it to the service dept and explain what happened. They told us that they had to hear it from a salesperson or they would have to charge us to get the window back up. AHHHH!!! By now, my blood was boiling. I have had a salesperson jump into my face, verbally assault me, and now they damaged my BIL's property and was not going to take responsibilty of it. So we marched back up front to the sales area and asked to speak to the sales manager. A man named Larry said that he would help us. So all 3 of us went back to the service department. He looked at the window and heard what we said and said that "He wasn't going to pay for the F**** window! Why didn't you have it fixed when it broke?" My BIL explained that he didn't have the $500 to fix it. The salesperson started cussing then slammed the door which made the window fall again and then grab a paper out of my BIL's hand and wrote down his name and phone number and said to get the window fixed and to call him and he would reimbursh us. I told him that we needed the window pulled back up or fixed now because my BIL had to go to work and couldn't go with the window down. He then asked me "What the f**** do you want me to do?" So I replied "F*** fix it!!" He then said that because I said the F word that he wasn't going to help us. WHAT?!? He had been saying just about every cuss word that I know and he wants to claim that I cussed so now it's not his problem?!?
So, now, I was in tears because I was sooo upset of what was going on. I couldn't believe how I was being treated. So the service dept called the real sales manager back there after watching what was going on. The sales manager and a couple of the guys from the service dept managed to manually pull the window back up to where it was suppose to be. We thanked him dearly and explained to him what had happened. He of course, said that he 'would take care of it'. He then told us that if we bring the truck back, that we would only have to pay $100 to get the window fixed. I explained that I was NEVER going to step onto the property again.
So we got into the truck and pulled out of the service dept and around the building. Larry, Sam an the other guys from RUSH were standing out there. As we passed we saw in the side mirrors of Larry flipping us off.
So, when the survey lady from the dealership called to get our opinions of what had happened, we told her everything. She couldn't understand what had happened and said that she would let Mr. Howerton who owns the dealership now, know about the situation and then told us that we should've called up there and told Mr. Howerton after it happened.
Anyways we did the survey last week, and still have not heard anything from the owner of the dealership or anyone. Go figure!

Pretty in Pink~~Quick Pick

Here is a quick-pick that you can use.
It comes with a frame, sucker, and word art.
The layers are open so you can move things around if you would like. I created it while I was making a tag so I thought I'd share it.

~~Truth about Digital Transition~~

I found out today that even if you get cable, you will still need a converter box. I read it in an article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24073432 That if you get your cable from a wire connected to the back of your TV, then you will need a converter box from your cable company. I have Charter and I called them to ask and see if the article was true and they told me yes. And that they will send out a notice to everyone around August or Sept.For us, it will cost an extra $5 a month per TV. (+ tax of course)

Scary and Crazy Day~~~

Today has been one crazy and scary day. First, we have a couple of dogs that stay outside. I went out this morning to feed them and noticed that there was only 1 dog. The only one, DeeDee (my kids named her after the character on the show Dexter's Laboratory), was standing over by her doghouse. Emily (DeeDee's sister who was named after Emily Elisabeth from Clifford) was missing. After about a 30 minute search I finally found her hiding under the back porch of my neighbor's. We have a 6 ft property fence around our yard except for the back part which is closed off with chicken wire. Apparently our neighbor's free-roaming cat came into our yard, like it does commonly and makes our dogs go crazy. But the cat came into the yard and Emily (on a chain) went crazy because it was in our yard. She snapped her chain and went after it. When I found Emily, I found the cat up in a tree near the porch. Emily had jumped over the chicken wire fence and couldn't figure out how to get back.


Now about 1pm, we heard that my city was under a tornado watch. The system had already spawned a possible tornado a couple of counties away. The news stated that it destroyed around 30 homes. Then when the storm came over our house, you could feel the energy that it had. I have been in many tornados (*sp) and severe thunderstorms but this one was different. They showed on the news that a tornado was spotted in the clouds near my home. My children were at school and the news announced that their school was on lock down because of the threat of the tornado. I live out in the country so we do not have any tornado sirens or anything to warn us except for watching on the TV or going outside and looking for ourself. But the news reported that a couple of homes were reportedly damaged down the street from me.

It's 3:55 cst and I just came in from checking the property and it seems that we are okay. Thankfully. I called my children's school and they said that they didn't have any damage either but around 20 minutes down the road from there, a couple of houses were damaged either by straight line winds or by the possible tornado. Sometimes I hate living in the south because we have to go through mess like this.

Spring Break

My kids are on Spring Break this week, (early I know, but that's how our county is). And so I probably won't be able to get anything done this week. I have 3 girls 9,8, and 6. This will be their last Spring Break for a while because starting the next school year '08-'09, I will be their teacher. Since the county that I live in, passed a dress code that only half of the county can afford. So, I will homeschooling my children, starting this summer.

Writing Time Scrap kit



I have two links for this one.It has come to my attention that some people cannot use the psp form of my scraps. They need pngs. So, I have made 2 of these.
