Yup, you read it right and you read it right here!!! Down 2.6 more, of course this is really only 1.6 to cancel out the 1 lb gain of last week. Which brings up another point.....AVOID STARBUCKS!!!! I don't drink coffee (barf barf) but I love the Pumpkin Spice Latte they have this time of year. I had 2 last week. Each one without sugar is 550 calories!! 550!!! OMG now add 4=5 sugars (see why I don't drink coffee?) and it's at least 600 calories, now multiply by 2 and it's over 1200! That is a whole day's worth of calories!! One extra day of food! I could have had one small m&m bag for 10 nights straight for those calories. I would not have had to freeze them, sort them or eat them one at a time. I could have eaten 4 bags of M&Ms the day I drank one drink!!! Don't get Starbucks.....eat m&ms!!!!

Okay, now my new gripe. Blockbuster/new privacy act. For a few weeks my account with them has been screwed up. I got a phone call saying I was going to be charged for my overdue movies. What?? I have the 3 movie pass where you can keep the movies for as long as you want. This is perfect for us because we take forever to watch and return movies. I called to say I have this plan and the answer was...get this... "we cancelled your plan because you haven't used it lately" again...What?? I still have the movies out so it's being used And when were you going to tell me you cancelled this?
Well, that's why we are charging you for the movies. This is your notice.
But I don't want the plan cancelled.
Okay, we'll reinstate it.
I returned those movies and got 3 more. A week later I get another phone call to say we are charging you for your movies. They are late.
I call again. First person I speak to - oh we don't have a 3 movie plan any more so you'll have to get a 2 movie plan.
This changed from last week? When were you going to tell me?
Oh, anyone who has the 3 movie plan is grandfathered in.
Well, I have had this plan since you put it into place so shouldn't I be grandfathered in?
dead silence
um, yeah, I guess so. Let's just double check your account. We will have someone get back to you in 3-5 business days.
today- store manager tells me the credit card denied the transaction.
call visa- there have been no denials on your account.
call block head backs. oh yeah no denial the charge for the 3 movie plan went through yesterday when you rented the movies. And the charge for the movie you never returned also went through.
Okay, I rented those movies 2 weeks ago not yesterday and I checked in the store and my account was accurate and I have nothing outstanding. What movie did I get charged for?
I can't tell you what movie because of the new privacy laws. You'll have to go into the store and check>
Wait you can charge my account for something but can't tell what the charge covers?
Am I speaking to the corporate location?
Yes, but we can't help you with the movie title, it's private information.
to end story..called visa- please deny all charges for this dumb ass company and at 10am I am giving them my cut up card and movies. They can stuff it. They have no customer service and after 10 years with them I no longer have to worry about this because I am no longer a customer.
Wish M luck. We are leaving to go to Charlotte tomorrow for a competition. Dance a jig for her!
