Blackberries! (the kind you eat, not Crackberries)

Yesterday when I was up in Hampden for my appointment, I stopped at the Giant grocery store which is in the same building...they had blackberries on sale for 99 cents...I took several looks at the sign to make sure I was reading correctly- I'm used to paying four or five dollars for the same sized container.

But no, I read right. I grabbed four packages. I was vaguely afraid that they wouldn't be very good, despite the fact that they looked fine, but as soon as I popped one in my mouth when I got to work, I was very happy to find out that they taste even better than the ones I usually get elsewhere. And they're huge- some of them are nearly the size of ping-pong balls. I ate an entire container last night, took two of them home today where Gavin devoured most of one this evening (wouldn't be surprised if the other was gone when I got some in the morning) and I am currently three berries shy of having lain waste to the fourth.

Er wait...nevermind the three berries shy bit.

I do love me some blackberries.

It's a little out of the way, but I'm seriously thinking about doing some more of my regular grocery shopping up there- at least occasionally. They sell the Red Sauce Of Awesomeness (Thai Kitchens' Sweet Red Chilli Sauce) and their prices on a good bit of produce and other things are better than Superfresh or Safeway.

Dreaming Blade by Rhea's Obsession

He dreams in light
So moon and stars can fight
While he is playing
In the pale moon light

With eyes shut tight
His dreams are sharp as night
And he is saving them
Until the timing is right

Wake now child
In the middle of the night
The edges of your mind
Have grown a little wild

Dreaming blade
Take the fear away
Dreaming blade
Cut it all away

Can you cut like a knife
Destroy what I don't like
Dreaming blade
Let me dream away

*sigh*

So customer writes in with an error in his security software.

We know about this error and there is a new version of the program to correct the issue. We advise him of this and provide the link to the download, instructing him to completely remove the offending version and then install the new version.

His response?

"But if I just uninstall the old one, won't I be unprotected from viruses?"

*sigh* Yes, you caught us. The new version doesn't include an antivirus. That's how we're fixing the error.

Dear Fucktard,

You have a most fascinating definition of "fraud".

Please sir, do go right ahead and attempt to file a lawsuit. When the court sees that you refused to follow provided directions to get the software on your computer working properly, they will likely point and laugh at your "fraud" suit.

Additionally, it is well disclosed on the software packaging and inserts, as well as on the website and in the terms of use that you agree to when you install the program that the license is good for one year at which point you must either purchase a new license or cease to use our program. Which choice you take is entirely up to you. But it is well documented. This is also not fraud.

Enclosed, please find a dictionary with the definition for "fraud" clearly marked and highlighted. Once you have read and memorized the definition, please apply dictionary repeatedly with copious force to your forehead. If you do not wish to do this, please call me and I will be most delighted to do it for you.

Thank you most kindly for your attention to this matter.

Cordially,

Fuego
