Email Etiquette - Reply or Reply to ALL - Know the Difference

Now for the rant of the day:

There is a choice of 2 buttons to use when replying to an email.

They are:
1. Reply
2. Reply TO ALL

Reply indicates that you (the sender) is sending a reply to the one person who sent you the email.

REPLY TO ALL indicates that EVERYONE who received the original email will receive your response.

For Pete's sake people, I do not want to know Sally (who I do not know and do not wish to know) in North Dakota's feelings about Uncle Chester's prostate health and cousin Myrtle's new tattoo! Be careful!! In some situations this type of reply can be awkward at best and very bad/embarrassing at the worst.

To be covered at a future date....BCC. Stay Tuned :-p

Excellent Customer Service

My Skagen watch had a warranty issue. I called the toll free number, which was answered by a human and I was told to send it in with a check for 8.95. I was told turn around time was about 3 weeks.
I received the watch back in 20 days. It appears to be an entirely new watch.
Way to go Skagen!!!

Dinner Inspiration



Got the passports out last night and went to Cary to eat at
"On the Border"
Loved the great drink coaster and thought I'd try a stab
at making some bead faces.

Felted Purse



My first attempt took 2 sweaters and a fair amount of time to construct.
There are some substantial contraints to size and shape of the bag when you're cutting around sleves and such!
In blue, winter white and brown.

DMV Words of Wisdom

OK, this is very important and you MUST listen to Miss Linda:

ALWAYS make an appointment when planning a visit to the NCDMV. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes while other saps were standing in line just to get a number! With an appointment you just cut to the front of the line at the given time (just like Disney!)
Also, bring your checkbook or a lot of cash. The new licenses are for 8 years at $4 a year. If you're a sex offender be prepared to sign some weird statement.
Lastly, if visiting the Capital Blvd location forget about what to wear as the picture is such a tight shot that no clothing will show (and my pink shirt would have looked so nice with the blue background).
Miss Linda is finished with her pearls of wisdom for today :-)

Fun At Frankies

Took the extended family to Frankies. The kid I took out on the GoKarts is recovering nicely!
