I loved to tie them up for as long as I could. I got a call about resurfacing my kitchen cabinets right after we bought our house in Minnesota. The house was new, no one had ever lived in it before us. I took the bait, or so the caller thought and I became hysterical, asking him what other things in my brand new house needed to be worked on. "I am looking at my cabinets right this minute, and I think you must be right! They are defective!! How soon can you get here? Do I need to file suit against the house builder or the real estate agent who sold us this house?" The poor man kept trying to calm me down, but as HeWho likes to say, he might as well abort that mission!

NOT MY WINDOWS COMPUTER! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" <br /><br />That's when we kept getting the same call 6-8 times a day. The Pony was mortified. Like he actually cares what people think, and like the caller would even know he was there, and related to me.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-41768317890514386972021-02-24T01:00:57.154-06:002021-02-24T01:00:57.154-06:00Heh, heh!

She gave that caller the information they asked for about her computer, then she called me saying they were supposed to call her back for more info. <br /><br />Lucky for her, she had no vital information in her computer, and I made her promise not to answer if they called back! She only used it for email and to play games.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-66579632600093422252021-02-23T19:39:04.993-06:002021-02-23T19:39:04.993-06:00So this is one time we can be thankful for Hick...So this is one time we can be thankful for Hick's and The Pony's laziness.
