So I never ever buy the warranties offered on stuff you purchase. Which is all the more puzzling that I would buy one for the car I bought last year! But I did and I just finished paying the warranty off. I was told I was supposed to get a cool new card to keep in my wallet but I never got one. So I called the dealership and asked, "What is up?" The very nice man took my vin number and input it into the system. His response was something I would have never expected. In the most upbeat and surprised tone he says "WOW!" Which sparked me to say "What?" And he says, "You have the very best warranty that we offer." "Really?" I said surprised. "Yes, you do." he replies. He goes on to tell me that I have a lifetime warranty on my car and that the most I will ever have to pay on it if I take it in is $100 bucks. I couldn't believe this. I have taken my car into the dealership before and never paid less then $500 bucks! The way he was talking I felt like I had "the golden ticket." I immediately start to get the feeling that no one ever buys this warranty with the way he is describing with excitement all the features of my warranty. Each thing he got more and more excited about. Either I got a good warranty or this man just came back from a very long coffee break (and he didn't drink decaf). I kept thinking about how I ended up with this warranty? I never let anyone try and sell me stuff. I just hate being bugged. I don't like it when I go into stores and people pester me. I don't know why I am like this? Although on a rare occasion, I will unfreeze and actually speak to person trying to get my attention. I guess, I hate being fussed over. Let me shop buy myself and let me make my own decisions, I say. I sort of feel like people are going to scam me if I listen, so I don't. I guess everyone has their phobias and being pestered by sales people or anyone to buy something is mine. Anyhow, I must have been in an unbelievably good mood the day I bought my car, to have bought a lifetime warranty! Anyway, the thing that made me chuckle about this whole call was the fact that I have this warranty until the year 2090. Um, that is 15 years after I would hit 100 years old! Yes, the man assured me that that was the expiration date in the system. After we both had a good laugh I felt determined I was going to live until 2090 and gosh darn it, I am keeping my car till the end! I never got the card I was calling in about. I guess they started to go green and the information is in all dealerships' computers. Even though this man was very nice I still had him mail me a little something that I could use to prove I had this "golden ticket" warranty.
Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...
