My parents, my mother in particular has a long history of not believing me when I tell her something. It doesn't matter what it is, she just assumes I am wrong and anybody else is correct...especially if that someone else is a male. If that someone is a white male, then forget it, it may as well be the voice of God himself. :irked: Her mother was the same way. So I guess it's hereditary, or maybe it's just because mom is of the last generation to think men must have all the answers and are always right.
Anywho I was trying to get the pool clean. We didn't open it until last Wednesday because mom said not to. More on this monumental headache later.
Today mom almost bought $138 worth of frozen steak and fish from '2 niggaz in a pickup truck'. I think my normally low, blood pressure went through the roof. I'm still clenching my teeth and it's 12 hours later.
The guys worked for some shyster company, the name was neatly printed on the side of the truck to give an air of legitimacy.
I looked at the meat, but it didn't look fresh, even though it was frozen and cryo-vac'd which is like being hermetically sealed. The website was on the side of the truck so I quick looked it up and found all sorts of complaints! I printed out one and showed it to mom and she didn't believe me! She listened to that shyster salesman. She believed some man off the street over ME!!!! I was PISSED OFF! :angryfire2: I went back and printed out 3 different complaints and finally she believed me. She grudgingly made them take the meat out of the freezer in the garage. Luckily she had yet to give them a check.
Let me tell you, I was LIVID! When I tell you something is a SCAM and provide proof of said scam, then Damn It you better believe me and do as I say.
Whatever you do, DO NOT buy anything from The Cattle Exchange! The company is real, but the product is substandard and it's basically just a scam. They come door to door selling frozen steaks, burgers, fish, shrimp and I think they had some pork chops. Best part of the scam . . . it's not a freezer truck. It's a pickup with a freezer in the back of it. :biggrin1: The kind you bend over and reach into, that you buy at Sears. What is this plugged into? It was 3 PM when they got to us, how long had it been unplugged? Since 8 AM or 9AM? Meh, no thank you.
It gets better...I called my cousin Denise who lives like 45 minutes away with my mom's younger sister. She was like please tell me she didn't buy that mess. I said she almost did. She was shocked. My mom will be 79 next month and while she is forgetfull she was never stupid or gullible. Is this a natural part of the ageing process?
Ten minutes later D calls me back, to tell me mom's sister said she would have bought from them too. Now in addition to worrying about them falling in the shower; we have to worry about them answering the door, cause anybody, can sell them anything.
I'm telling you, living with my parents is like living with 80 year old toddlers. But if I weren't here I shudder to think what would happen to them.
Bottom Line: When I tell you the berries are ripe, get your basket and start picking.
