Speaking of Gift Cards

I do surveys on a site known to a lot of Canadians that is run by a well known and rather old research group. It took me 2.5 years to get enough points for a $25 gift card. I redeem my points and it tells me "it will take up to 4 weeks for your egfit-card to be emailed to you".

Dude... it's electronic, this should be like "it will be there tomorrow" at best, so what is doing to take 4 weeks? Like seriously.

It's like a money transfer, it should be a couple minutes at best but can take up to 8 working days. I thought computers where supposed to be fast these days.

Man, I want my Amazon credit so I can order some freaking chocolate. Don't stand between a fat person and candy!

Fake News? How About Fake Ads?

Well ya know. There is no price and I have to guess what the hell this actually is - But I'll click it and order some, just because there is a time limit on it. Did I mention I have been seeing this and several others like it all week and they ALL expire 10:00 PM Tomorrow... It's been saying that for 4 days now. Not to mention the genius of posting a B/W photo and saying there are 3 secy colors. Honestly by the look of it, it's a charging cord just like in the dollar store. I also bet it's going to be like $6 or more and then there is some absurd amount of shipping you don't notice till the last moment in hopes of catching the people who quick click threw ordering stuff. Yup sadly I know several people who have done just that multiple times and wondered why the charge on their PayPal or credit card is 3X the price of the item. Not to mention do I really want to dive some unheard of site my credit card info? Come to think of it, I keep seeing the same batch of ide

OFFICE 365 (MS OFFICE) IN YOUR BROWSER.

Image
So if you set Bing as your default search engine in Chrome, it come sup in a blank tab with the 3 dots thing. You can click that, then Office and launch the Office 365 online apps in the browser. I'm told this is free to use. I subscribe to Office 365 to get the 1TB of cloud storage with it, and have the apps on my PC and Tablet - so I don't have first hand experience with the web versions. I fired up Word in the browser and it had my files from the cloud handy to use, but had less features than the installed version of them. Still it's enough to do most things you want with a document. Did not try the other apps, I assume they are also scaled down a bit. As for subscribing to Office 365, I love it for the storage I will never use unless I live to be 90 and lets face it, I'll be a pile of ashes before then. You can also go to  https://www.office.com/ sign in and use the apps from there. Even with the free version of OneDrive, you can have a pile of files to edit and sh

To Hell With Your Facebook Group

Image
Just dumped a local group from my life forever on Facebook. What a bunch of ignorant people. It started with a woman asking for help to feed her children because they ran out of money and the food bank is over limit and gives very little now. Well all kinds of twats jumped on her telling her to get a job and much more. They no literally nothing about the families situation and they don't care, they live to look down on others and attack them for daring to be poor, or disabled, or whatever. I've seem far too much of it over the two years I've been a member and I'm freaking done with it. No more. This is every day someone gets attacked by ass-hats looking to offend anyone they can. You would think there was no mods at all, but there is. They seem to only take down posts for people looking to sell things and so on, while allowing businesses to post ads all they want. Not one of this group of malevolent twats has been booted or even restricted. I'm in it to ask question

CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business. I was inte
