Hello! Is blog-Stedman there?
No, he is working.
Oh! Then I will call him back another time!
Is this about a donation?
Yes!
I am his wife. I can handle this. I will give you $50.
Blog-Stedman gave $100 last year!
I will give you $50.
I am only taking matches or ups!
I said I would give you $50.
Your husband gave $100 last year!
I said I will give you $50. Are you going to take it?
Oh. I guess so…
And now for a totally random photo I took last week:
Love the photo! Makes me want to take white out to the window! lol…
And hey, if you are giving away money, throw some this way!
You might be the only person I know who is nice to people begging for money on the phone. I won’t even talk to them. Not that that’s any sort of consoltation.
argh….
just … argh…
(yeah, i’m profound this morning)
Next time tell the brassy phone solicitor, “Oh, you don’t want the $50? Okay, how’s about $20?” and keep working your way toward -0-.
Love the store front. Consolation/Consultation/Consolida-
tion? Whatever it is, they’re nice to offer to bring it to your house.
I will glady take your 5o dollars! I will even give you a consoltation in return because that’s the kind of gal I am!
Oh, and kudos to you for not telling that chick where she could shove your contribution.
How charitable of you!
Maybe it’s one of those new fangled words we’ll soon see Webster’s adopting (one of my all-time top pet peeves – we all evolve, but stop catering to the masses by butchering the English language!)
You know – they console and consult?
Now where’s my red pen?
Em
Dude, they didn’t want to take your money… That’s just pushy and obnoxious.
Can I just tell you how utterly insane it drives me when I see things misspelled on businesses. I find it so very very unprofessional and obnoxious.
But it does make for great blog fodder 😉
I think I’d go after that window with a Sharpie.
you were so sweet to actually talk to them.
nice sign.
