Well folks, that's half a day of my life I won't be able to get back. Was rudely awakened by a robo-call from our credit card company informing me that my card had been compromised. Me, being of soundly suspicious nature, went off on a wild goose chase trying to ascertain if the number they wanted me to call was legit. Couldn't find it anywhere so I went to the credit card statement and called that to report what I thought was a scam. Well turned out it wasn't and yes my card is compromised and they would issue me a new one. Fine. And then......then.....
I have an automatic debit for my cell phone from Public Mobile which is due to come off in the next day or two. So...I needed to inform them, right? Well, talk about being sent into online purgatory!!! I ended up in a continous loop of 'push this in order to do that' and of course none of the options were what I needed. So one of the options was to 'push this to contact them' - which I dutifully did. Only to be told that my account password was no longer valid. Say wha??? Ok - reset password (multi-step process that required yet more pushing of this and that) only to be sent back to the beginning of the loop. Me, being a lady-like person, refused to turn the air blue as I went through it AGAIN only to be sent to the same loop as before and outright refusal to allow me to find the teeny-tiny-little button that allowed me to leave any sort of message outside of their allowable options. Finally (did I mention that all this has taken pretty close to two hours?)....I left a private message and I await their pleasure of a response. Good thing my cell phone plan is cheap!

Part the 16,453 of the ongoing saga/rant - I got a response! And you'll never believe what it was. They sent me back my own message and so, in effect, I'm talking to myself. AND.....This morning I got another copy of my original message from them...still with no actual response.

On to other things that are more fun. The doll is finished! I'm searching for a pair of socks for her but that can wait. In the meantime, here she is (she measures 32" high)
Not bad for a nearly 70-year old pattern!
- I enjoyed clicking through THESE so thought I'd share.
- Of course you know I liked seeing THESE!
- When I scrolled down through THESE I laughed at some and had an 'awwwww-moment' over others.
- There are lots of free quilt designs HERE.
- I thought THIS concept was rather intriguing and some of you might like to give it a try.
Today this quote is very fitting..."I'm not angry. I'm just very enthusiastic about expressing my frustration"
