]]> Comment on 5 Minute Chili by grampa http://blog.sapara.com/2009/10/21/5-minute-chili/comment-page-1/#comment-1750 grampa Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:32:54 +0000 http://blog.sapara.com/?p=408#comment-1750 HelloH James; Saw this chili last weekend. It has too much corn. I would suggest that you look at Stagg chile, in three different hot modes. Easy to buy, easy to cook and very good. Saves on heat, washing dishes and serves the purpose in two minutes in the micro-wave. grampa HelloH James;

]]> Comment on Advice for Paypal users by grampa http://blog.sapara.com/2009/07/28/advice-for-paypal-users/comment-page-1/#comment-1734 grampa Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:57:56 +0000 http://blog.sapara.com/?p=406#comment-1734 Hello James; I figured this out long ago-no reflection you Yourself is intended. I do not use Pay Pal and cancelled my Paypal about two years ago due to the same things that you write of. Shame on them It is all for them and nothing for the customer, whom they obviously do not trust at all in any way. I also shy away from Facebook, Utoob, flickr, etc. not due to my old suspicious age etc, but because every so often, I read about problems with their secuity and recent site hackings. Shame on them, as they seem to not care about the people's lives whom they have affected. Pay Pal, E-Bay and every merchant that we trust to purchase things from make money from us and they make sure that they get paid first and foremost. The customer(You and eye) do not count in the least. Then one has to live with the bank telling you that your credit stinks due to NSF charges. Really, their policies made the situation happen. Phooey to them for sure. Banks are not our friends either. Went to Boston Pizza yesteday and used my MC for the bill. When I got home, I checked out the charges. They had charged $51.32 to my CC when the bill was only 39.18. The real total including tip was $44.18. Well, how then did my CC get billed for $51.32? I called MC and the Pizza place to whine and complain and the Pizza place did return my call. They over charge/approve you on your CC for 30% more than the total to make sure that THEY get their money. Good for them, but not for the customer. What would happen in a large transaction where they overcharged you 30% and there was not enough on your CC to cover this. I am not finished with BP's or with MC yet about this issue. In any event, James, good to read you site. Have a good day. I will be enjoying me Nokia E71 soon. grampa and the Kat, MaggyK Hello James;

Even for a replacement plug for a cord, or light bulbs, or switches (rarely) I look for quality and then do not worry about things catching fire or overheating. Good quality electrical outlasts lower price items usually by 10 to 1. Chinese electrical is to be avoided as there connections etc. are not the same size as are CSA items. Shocking results for you in this crazy world-prices are only what we will pay for things these dayz.

]]> Comment on My Review of the Ramada Inn @ Regina by grampa http://blog.sapara.com/2009/04/02/my-review-of-the-ramada-inn-regina/comment-page-1/#comment-1607 grampa Mon, 06 Apr 2009 01:18:17 +0000 http://blog.sapara.com/?p=392#comment-1607 HelloH James; Good story. Your are in Regina SK though, don't forget. Different rules and standards there and none that are with customers in mind. I will place the Ranada on my black list with all of the things that are made in china. I have experienced similar things but usually in very small places as Yorkton where they do not even know that you have a confirmed booking. Oh well, hope you find a good place to stay for your trips abroad. Best Westerns are good, I find. A rocket stick would help out as well. I am going to get one from Telus soon. They are quite good to have, I think. Was in a hotel in Drumheller in 1981 and the tv did not work. I called the front desk and was told that "so? you are lucky to have one." Then in Edmontonchuk on a military training week, found a black lacey bra(quite large) under the pillow. After a good row, got another room right next to the noisy bar. Great. Have a good day and week. grampa HelloH James;

Transition lenses havse been around for 35 years or so and are the same today as they were when first introduced. Good for many uses, but have a few drawbacks. I have had many pairs of these and always liked them for driving busses about. Use a pair of $10. glasses for driving in the really bright sun.(which has not been around for about 6 months here) Make sure that you have a good day and week. grampa m and Maggykat HelloH James.
