Cat Food or Hot Sauce?

So Angie was so nice to send me a $50 gift card with a Christmas card. I really did not expect it and am very thankful. But it's for amazon.com and not amazon.ca so I had to set up with the .com version and add it to my profile there. Not hard to do.

I went around looking at hot sauce on there and after 20 different sellers refusing to ship to Canada and not really being in need of anything at all. I decided to use it to get a good friend who has less than I do something for her cats. She has a wish list you see. So I pick a cat carrier that is eligible for free shipping. It's enough that I figure with 12% tax it should still go threw. After all who has more than 12% tax I figured. Well it would not do it.

So I got on chat with the help desk. She said (after a 20 min. span of not understanding what I was saying and me not being able to say it any better) that it's because there was too much tax. Well so I deleted that one and added in pet food for about $13. Being that I have $50 with tax and shipping it should be good. NOPE it won't go threw. So back to the lady on chat and tell her this won't work as well. She had not one clue as to why. Well I did some looking and on a forum I read one person say that some companies that dead threw Amazon do NOT allow you to use the gift card. I think to myself, "why is this not stated instead of just saying enter payment option"? Well what ever... So I go and I delete the pet food and click on another pet food that is actually more money and no free shipping. Guess what? It went threw. The nice lady on the chat had no clue as to why this one worked and why the other 2 did not.

So I was left thinking, "what the hell is the forum right"? I guess it must be. I can't see any reason why it would be that way. After all the money is handled by Amazon and then they take a cut and send the rest to the distributor. So why would this be happening? I have literally no explanation for it at all. It makes no sense to me. But I am left thinking it is so... Who knows, it's not to be found on the site or threw the help desk LOL.

Oh well Crouton gets pet food and I don't have $50 sitting there that I will never use and will forget I have. So it all works out in the end. Happy eating Crouton and the other kitties. It should be there between the 18th and the 20th. Enjoy little buddies. All in all this is better than if I got my hot sauce anyway.

Peace, Love and Contentment - Dave :)

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
