No zits

I think it is amazing how much money people spend on trying to buy the absolute best acne treatment!  I can remember how many different products that my kids used when they were going through their teenage years.  I can’t say that any one over-the-counter acne product worked any better than another.  Even going to the doctor and being put on antibiotics wasn’t any help at all!  And the research goes back and forth on whether diet has an effect on acne.  I’m glad I’m not a teenager anymore!

Bad customer service

Posted on July 14th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Food, Friends/Family, Life.

Last night my wife decided to bring pizza home for dinner on her way home from work.  She called the Pizza Hut that she drives past twenty minutes before she left work.  She ordered her pizza (only one, mind you) and was told it would be ready in twenty minutes.  She got there thirty minutes later, and paid the $11 tab.  After she paid the tab, she was told that they were short handed that night and running “a little behind.”  She waited over a half hour before her pizza was ready.  If she had known that they had not even started her pizza before she showed up she would have cancelled the order and gone to McDonald’s!  Not impressed at all!  Next time she wants pizza, she’ll be asking if the pizza is ready before she pays for it!

Crime Inc

Posted on July 14th, 2010 by Jerry under Business, Education and Personal Growth, Life, News.

I just finished watching a television show called Crime Inc.  This episode was about the subject of counterfeiting.  I found the subject very interesting, and the content quite scary.  I can’t imagine buying a knock-off purse and then finding out later that the purse had unsafe levels of lead in it!  Good grief!

 

And counterfeit drugs?  People are actually naive enough to buy prescriptions online, thinking that they are getting the real thing?  That can be so dangerous!  The show had a small segment about a man and his wife that went for botox treatments and got counterfeit botox injections and almost died!  Yikes!  And now they are visually scarred for life!  Scary stuff!
