Disaster!
Tonight when I went to Walmart to pick up a few things, I came fully prepared with enough money to buy that watch that I had been lusting over. The first thing that I noticed when I went to the display case was that it had been rearranged and there were new watches in there. The second thing that I noticed was that MY WATCH WAS GONE!!! Some effing bastard bought my watch! DAMMIT TO HELL!!!
I am soooo pissed! I knew I should have bought it the last time I was in there even though I didn't have enough cash on me. I should have just put it on the damn credit card. I doubt that I'm going to be able to get another one that nice for only $55. The other watch that I kinda liked, an Elgin(I think it's like this one), was still there but it was $10 more and was more of a fashion style than a strictly utilitarian style. It was one of those "skeleton" styles that you could see a bit of the gears from the front and it had kinda offset dials. It looked cool but was a bit difficult to tell the time just at a glance. And then the band had weird black highlights that made it look cheap. Bugger!
All the other Amitron watches that were similar to the one I wanted had those damn blue faces and different bands and were at least $20 more. But who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and find one like the one I want at another store. Most Walmarts have the same items for sale. Grrrrrr...I am NOT a happy camper at the moment.
****Update****
Okay, now I'm EXTRA PISSED!!! I was looking around that website where I found the pic of the Elgin and THEY HAVE AN ARMITRON WATCH LIKE THE ONE I WANT!!! And why would this make me even more pissed? BECAUSE I HATE BUYING THINGS ON THE INTERNET!!!!! Harumph!!!

Wouldn't ya know it? I guess someone else has an eye for bargains as well. :/

But you'd lose a lot of money on gas driving to all of those, I think.
BECAUSE I HATE BUYING THINGS ON THE INTERNET
Yeah, I only buy expensive stuff online from stores that I know are *quite* trustworthy. And by "expensive" I mean anything over 10 euros, I am Dutch after all ;P

I have to go to Sam's in the next few days to pick up some things and there's a Walmart next door. I'll have a look when I go.

Yeah, me too. Only from large national stores. I *have* bought items from other places online and only got ripped off once, but not really. I reported that place to my credit card company, my money was reimbursed, and the credit card company dealt with the legal stuff. Since then I stick with well known businesses.

LOL Mi familia! ;P I *may* have inherited that gene. ;P ;P ;P
I just had a look at your comment archives list and noticed that you've been blogging for 6 years! Wow! Did you think you'd be blogging for this long when you first started?
Also, I don't think I've ever noticed the XUL MUST BE OBEYED banner at the bottom of the page. Stylish. :)
BTW, weren't you going to do a OUAT post?
you've been blogging for 6 years!
Yeah, 'Wow' is right! I hadn't noticed myself!
Did you think you'd be blogging for this long when you first started?
No. If you notice in the first few years, I didn't post that much. It's kinda 'a thing' now. :)
Stylish. :)
My EQ side showing. ;P
BTW, weren't you going to do a OUAT post?
I figured that's what you were waiting for! LOL I'm working on it. I got distracted by some things on a particular message board and dragged out my psychology textbooks for a little refresher. Not surprisingly, what was said was WRONG but no use arguing with idiots on the internet although there *were* some valid points.
Then I got to thinking about one particular scene and how it was just so 'WTF?' that I started cracking myself up doing a "Retelling According to Xul" and I was cracking myself up so bad that I'm going to do two more scenes "As Told by Xul" and hopefully you'll see the humor. (It's funny cuz I imagine it the way I'd be having a conversation with my sister...we used a certain vernacular like we were straight out of the Roseanne show or Beavis and Butthead...a sorta early '90 teenager dialect...and it makes me LOL.
