Friday Feast
Appetizer
What comes to mind when you hear the word bizarre?
Actually, shopping!
Soup
Using just a few words, describe your childhood.
Long, traumatic, hurtful and over.
Salad
Name one thing you do each day that you feel improves your appearance.
I put on makeup. If not, I would be scaring the children of the world.
Main Course
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how would you rate your self-confidence?
8
Dessert
Where did you last find a bargain?
I got the 1SG XM Satellite Radio for his birthday and they are running a two for one special. So as soon as I get off my duff and mail in the rebate stuff, I will get one of my own in 8 to 10 weeks.
Do your own Friday’s Feast here.

Re: Rebates, et al.
I think I have probably purchased about a half-a-dozen electronic gizmos over the last five or so years that promised rebates. Most of them came from Circuit City. Each time, we filled out the required paperwork, made sure we included the obligatory proof of purchase and in some cases, completed little questionaires that asked us things like – What is you household income? – How many younguns do are you feeding each night?, etc. But never have we ever once recieved the actual rebate. Not a check, not a coupon, not a doggone thing. Followups to both Circuit City and the various manufacturers were fruitless because each referred us back to the other for answers.
I hope you have better luck at it but personally, I don’t even consider rebates when I make a purchase anymore unless they are the ‘instant’ type that you get when you check out.
