The Gift of "Customer Service"

I'm part of a monthly blog chain whose topic this month is "gifts from the heart." Right now it's hard for me to actually think of something pleasant in a gift as I have been trying to take care of a billing problem with Verizon. So this will be my gift for you of a warning of doing business with a mega company and the promises that they make and don't keep, and how you might resolve the "customer service" issues.  Read more >

The High Cost of Thanksgiving -- Depends on Where You Live

I currently live on the outskirts of a metropolitan city with a population of 1.3 million. I've been waiting for this week to see what the final prices would be at my regional supermarket for frozen turkeys. According to stats from last year this chain sold turkeys at 58 cents a pound if customers were making $10 purchase or more purchase. Now that same brand turkey is at $1.09 per pound -- or you can get it for free if you purchase a spiral sliced ham (priced at $2.98 per lb.) Not a great value! I want the same deal as last year.  Read more >

I Love Christmas but...

Last weekend I went shopping at a megasupermarket and they were having their holiday open house. This meant lots of food and wine tastings and competing Christmas music blaring through the store. Though I loved the assorted tastings and certainly had my fill, the push for Christmas before Thanksgiving is a bit jarring.I don't need 8 weeks to do my Christmas shopping - 4 weeks is sufficient with the mad dash on Black Friday. And now they're even trying to hijack The Black and make it on Thanksgiving day or even sooner!  Read more >

Just in Time for Thanksgiving -- Turkey Vultures!

On my way out of my neighborhood today, I saw an unusual sight - two turkey vultures scavenging on the side of the road. I thought that was unusual until I headed back home and saw 5 circling around our neighborhood. They had apparently spotted a dead squirrel in the street and were drawn to the scent the same way sharks are to blood in the water.  Read more >

About Me: 

Chris has been a writer since she was a child when she made teeny magazines for her dolls. One of her friends once told her she would someday be a well-known writer, so she would keep all the letters and cards that Chris sent her. Chris may not be the famous writer her friend thought she would be -- yet. She's working on it!
