a stupid item i bought @ walmart, from 3rd party seller that just never arrives! this is my "question to seller" note...

 hi, i purchased this from u 8 DAYS AGO! i STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT!! i don't understand what & why it is taking SO long! u r 1 state away from me, a 5 hr drive, i was supposed to receive it YESTERDAY! after waiting ages, nope, still didn't come, now it's "delayed" wth?? what is the problem? i sell on sites & i mail THE DAY I SELL SOMETHING! i gave u leeway, a courtesy wait, for something USED & OVERPRICED & yet i STILL dont' have it! again, ,wth? u really should get ur stuff together if u want to sell products! i still don't even have a "due delivery time"!! will i still be alive when this item arrives?" ok, hope to see it VERY SOON NOW! i could've driven to vegas 40 times & back by now & picked it up!! thanks!!!!!!

**to any readers, i figure i'm already typing up some crap, may as well post it elsewhere to vent my frustration, anger. funny, had a boyfriend w/a band name re that & that was their saying, about venting their anger, just occurred to me. seriously, though, it prob. seems like that's ALL i do, is vent, but no, it's totally not. i am generally a positive person & i REALLY, truly try to be positive, grateful, have gratitude everyday, etc. was thinking about that. how people rarely leave reviews about GOOD experiences, unless it was over the top great, something that blew their minds, but r SO quick to post bad reviews, cuz we r pissed, frustrated, feel unfairly treated, etc. want to BE SEEN/heard! also, to warn others. that is generallyl my main reason for reviews good or bad, to tell others, a recommendation or a warning if they don't like such & such to NOT go. so yeah, there's that...(as walt in "breaking bad" said). cheers :)

ELAINE DANCING. omg the HELL i have gone thru, the hoops i have jumped thru 2 try & share this on INSTAGRAM!! not happening....

the HOURS i have spent, trying to copy it, embed it, email it to myself, share it, every fucking single thing to post this bloody thing on instagram, all for naught! wtf? i don't like instagram! i always refused to join it. 1. i don't take hundreds of pics of myself a day or even a year! 2. i'm not in LOVE WITH & OBSESSED w/myself, like so many others. 3. i HAPPILY do NOT live on my phone, the internet or social media. my life is NOT dictated by tik tok & trends like apparently almost everyone else who's alive, or below the age of ummm, 60? 40? i don't know. everyone else, their phone is like oxygen to them. i still remember the days (oh god, that makes ME sound old as dirt) when we barely had cell phones, or few had them, i had 1 i left in my car for emergencies only, that i would buy a card to add minutes. or even before when we had NO cell phones! NO INTERNET!! imagine!! gasp! kids are horrified at that prospect. horrified! haha, behind me the news on my tv just went to a commercial where someone is SCREAMING" WHERE IS MY CHARGER"? HAHA. oops, caps still. fyi, i use caps like italics i suppose, to emphasize a word, maybe looks shouty? i hope not, hence the explanation. 

yeah, so horror. u know christopher nolan, the great, esteemed, just won an OSCAR for best film "oppenheimer" & best director, et al, does NOT allow cell phones ON HIS SETS! (not sure about the crew, but actors for sure), which i think is BRILLIANT!! people's heads were NOT down, not focused on their phones & every incoming ding, ting & just plain hand grab addiction just to check, they were all FORCED TO SOCIALIZE, talk to each other, focus ON their jobs, be regular human beings, w/out the assistancce of technology. i think EVERYONE should jump on that bandwagon. 

back when i was on sets, they would just announce for us to silence our phones, etc. but back then people weren't so addicted. 

do how the fuck do u post other media to fucking instagram anyway? it's done! i've seen it done. the emailing it to myself to then create a file didn't even work, pulled up some old, funky version of my email (blame at & t/yahoo & their crappy service, professionalism, they literally blocked my out of my own email on & off for 2+ yrs, mostly during covid & they had NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO ONE ANSWERING PHONE CALLS, took me yrs for them to fix it. was all kinds of fucked up!).i tried to create a file & folder on my computer, but that wouldn't work either. WTF? i ended up w/hrs of wasted time, a backache (my chair in front of my laptop is too high, so it's PAINFUL to sit on compuer for hrs), same if i use my other laptop sitting indian style wherever, not so comfy after a certain point. ut still hunching over basically. i've only posted a few pics i uploaded on instagram. i joined to contact my former therapist, as she's on leave & i just wanted to tell her some GREAT news! that was months ago, she still hasn't responed. then friends found me, started following me. so i only uploaded 1 pic of myself for friend purposes, then others like my dragonflies having sex, family w/guns (BAD!), that's about it. y am i going on about this? gotta go. computer back is setting in, plus i have to work & do 1,000 other things. sigh. 

now here's elaine. the whole reason i am here. thought maybe if i posted it here, i could save/share it to myself & upload on INSTAHELL! cheers!

and now for something different..haha, no python here. another review CHIPOTLE BAD TIMES (i like never eat fast food, it's been a rough couple of months that i hit up these 2-3 places)

 I & we have been here numerous times over the years. it's across the street from where i used to live, so convenient. it was mostly okay for yrs EXCEPT for there ALWAYS having FAT, tons of fat in any/all of it's meats. i ask, every time, that they try to give me NO fat or as little as possible. have tried every meat, the least fatty, or findable turns out to b the barbocoa, still TONS of fat though. was there recently after some time & yes, the portions get smaller & smaller. I always get a bowl.  Usually add a bag of chips (cuz I like the corn salsa), to eat another day. This recent time i again asked to give me NO fat if possible. he dug thru it, we both studied it, barely gave me any meat btw, or much of anything. no grilled veggies, my favorite, can't do too much wrong to them, though too greasy, it seemed less fat-y, nope, get home & almost every bite is fat or filled w/fat, HUGE CLUMPS OF FAT! i set them aside (even my cat has never eaten them), it's gross! i should have taken photo of the fat as well. i was gonna take it back, but that's a pain in the ass & i was too busy. who wants to go back & forth every friggin time? isn't that Y we get "fast food", 2 be quick about it? not have to call them afterwards, drive back there, yada yada, nothing fast about that! the carne asada (or anything else), LOOKS fat free & i've had many of the staff tell me there "is no fat", ha! r they blind? they have no taste buds? seriously, the general public just LOVES eating fat? even in sandwiches? or simply chews & eats so quickly as to cut thru everything & swallow it down lickity split. i don't get it. it's disgusting! i don't even want fat on a steak, cutting it off or not. *when i have a steak, every decade or so*, filet mignon baby! i digressed. the carne asada LOOKS lean, but is loaded w/fat, gristle, u name it & chewy as a tire. pick up stix (who just closed btw) famous for this too. food cooked w/in an inch of being charcoal or IS charcoal. same w/that bowl place, the teriyaki place in park plaza as well. briquettes! even when u ask him (the owner) to not cook it so well done. & the prices! for some charcoal, half an orange & a couple veggies, really? Ur mouth is sore after a couple bits, from chewing. mine is anyway. 

so yeah, the portions, in agreement w/many a review i read previous to typing this, SO much smaller, rice does taste odd, i get very little rice & beans (also not so tasty), NO guac, No sour cream & not even cheese, so the less & less they give u, the less i even have in my bowl. a handful of bites, of not so tasty food & a bunch of fat, for $15 or so? really? i used to have a full meal & another 1 or 2 depending. cuz i don't eat a lot, not saying they gave soo much before, but they gave enough for 1 meal at least, as they should be. again, what happened to quality & retaining customers & getting NEW customers as well? have the not noticed the multitudes of businesses in that/this area that have shuttered their doors, vanished into the ether? if they have, they simply crank up the prices even further! everyone, everywhere. greedflation rampant. quality? screw it! money, oh yeah!! bring it on, bring it in!

now onto the chips. oh yeah. kept wondering y over the yrs the chips, which had always been good, the lime-y taste, salt, crisp, started getting crappy. no lime taste mostly or only on a couple chips (salsa still seems good), stale half the time. well, this particular time, they were not stale, they seemed fresh-ish, i tried 1on way home, but guess what? once i got home, i noticed almost the entire bag was almost transparent w/grease. YUCK! reminds me of a Simpson's episode, Home was trying to gain weight to go on disability, dr. nick was showing him the "window of grease" on bags, that were "good" for him to eat. i forgot what term he used, but was funny, that window of grease, making bags see thru. so yes, SATURATED IN GREASE CHIPS & BAG. i DID take a pic of that. (this was after i had tossed the meat fat, unfortunately, which were quite big hunks! big, big hunks! like off a roast, 2" in size & diameter... now that is some fat!

PAPA JOHNS NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE! don't order from them! they SUCK!

(copied from review i just posted) i gave 1 star because u can't choose less. 

greedy morons!!!! should be ZERO STARS! 1st: i call due to a commercial: $13.99 stuffed crust large pizza. i'm told, no, i have to have a minimum of $30! so much for saving any $$. then, they don't answer the phone. i order double (not wanting to), give very careful instructions HOW to get to my place easily (it's 2 blocks away from them), after it's due, i get a call from a guy that speaks NOT ONE WORD OF ENGLISH!! no joke no exaggeration!

he's calling from his phone, not the gate here. has no clue what i'm saying & vice versa. he won't hang up. i'm trying to call papa john's asap to have them call him & explain. i have to go thru the whole select ordeal. u select "order already placed", an automated thing says "your order is on it's way", then disconnects u. yay! so i have to call over & over, the only spanish speaking guy is still on my phone, i can't disconnect him. i finally reach someone at location, have to tell 1 guy, then another. 1st guy: 1 i placed order w/is asking ME what to do. wtf?? i tell him U hired him, he works for U, can't U call him, can't u re-give him directions from 2 blocks away? can't U figure it out? someone speaks fluent spanish there right? someone can communicate w/him, but it's not me (i have some spanish, but not direction spanish), he puts me on hold, another guy gets on, have to ret-tell entire thing, on & on it goes. he puts me on hold. comes back later, tells me guy ONLY needed my gate code. huh. really? i gave it to them earlier & again! guess what? guy doesn't even USE gate code! he got in some other way. have no clue where or how. jumped the fence?

guess what? food is cold as shit! (well, shit would be hot eh?), there r barely any toppings, it's thin bread (fine w/me thin), but virtually no cheese, sauce, topping. it's like eating nothing. cold nothing. other thing they forced me to buy, still haven't tried it, it's next day now, i had had ENOUGH, didn't need any more stress from them. didn't look great though & highly overpriced of course. 

so.......here's the thing. never get pizza, used to get it once in a while yrs ago from this papa john's, it was GOOD then. it was. 

here is what boggles my mind about ALL food places, fast or non. restaurants, crap food, high priced food, fancy restaurants, (1 i can bitch about on here to from recently, italian place over on coast in PV, oh wow. sooo overpriced & unpleasing by far), i digress, WHAT BOGGLES MY MIND ABOUT ANY PLACE THAT HAS FOOD AND/OR SERVICE OF ANY KIND, PRODUCTS TO SELL..shouldn't u always care about the quality?? And the service? if u sell food/make food, shouldn't u want it to be the best possible food u can make? that ensures happy, return customers, right? right. same w/service. places will start out good, get customers, then turn to crap. get greedy, start cutting corners, get cheaper help (worldwide epidemic, esp. the US), crap  food quality. many don't care about their palate or have one. do'nt care what goes in their mouth. i do! i know lots of others do. when u skimp on ingredient quality, employment quality, on & on,  yet still raise prices (inflation, shrinkflation, greedflation), u slowly or quickly lose ur customers, then ur out of biz. it's happened time & again. WHY NOT stick to best quality food & service? be proud of what u sell & pleasing ur customers? they think no one will notice, a cut here, cut there, greed greed greed. i'm so tired of greed. i live in the wrong country to be tired of greed. its' disgusting. all of it. 

copy of my MESSAGE TO MARLBORO CIGARETTE CO. or is it still Philip Morris, since the days of I love Lucy & them sponsoring & vice versa?

 dear Marlboro,

WHY don't u snail mail out ANY coupons anymore? i know u print them out! so don't lie. we see them. new coupons. how about the lovely "promotion" you had that u mailed out to ex-smokers or everyone BUT me? the $25.00 off coupon? that you couldn't even call or request for? the reps stating they were "random", i noticed ex-smokers received them aplenty, isn't that sweet of u?  also, where are my Xmas & bday coupons & gifts i used to get? u raise ur prices non-stop but not ur coupon value or how many we can get. we spend ALL of our money on YOUR PRODUCT & our health & u can't reward us w/coupons or gifts or price incentives or anything at all? we get a measly $3 off coupon a MONTH? r u joking? u must be laughing ur asses off! we just give give give & u take it ALL!! & whistle all the way to the bank? ur rewards r a joke! 18,000 entries, u pay w/ur points 500 times the amount that the item's worth AND your time (OUR time), by typing them in for centuries. capitalism is 1 thing, but insatiable greed is another! raise ur coupon values too! the other brands have, u greedy bastards! how's everything on your yacht i paid for? your children's private schools? good, i hope! thanks ever so. :)

just a lovely VENTING customer service message to Marlboro, who does piss me off. yes, i realize smokers choose to smoke! but they didn't know it was SO addicted & made to be addictive when starting. all the extra chemicals added. walmart SO ripped me off & bent me over this morning for the 800th time, it's not even funny, so i'm uber pissed off about that right now & happen to see Marlb somewhere & voila! :)
