Monday 6th June

This hasn't been the most satisfactory of days.  I tried to find a digital clock for my bedroom wall that wouldn't keep me awake with its ticking.   I actually bought two, but didn't even leave the shop with the first one because after I paid for it I took it to Customer Services and asked them to set it up, but they couldn't, it was faulty.  As I'd already paid for it I asked for a refund.   I was then told the refund would go into my account in ten days.  I was hacked off with that, pointed out I'd purchased a shoddy item, hadn't even left the shop and I have to wait ten days for a refund!!   Asked for the manager, who said she just couldn't make the refund go through any quicker.   Made mental note not to go back to that store (for those of you who live in Shawnee, it was K-Mart).

 

So went to Walmart and got another one, but decided to set it up myself.   But that doesn't work either, I don't think it is me but I'll have to take it back to Walmart's Customer Services tomorrow and see.   They will either have to get it to work or give me a refund and give up on the idea of a clock that doesn't tick.

 

These clocks are made in China and I just don't know why American companies don't pay Chinese workers decent wages.  In Britain our imports from China are nothing like they are here.  So that's my rant for the day.  

 

What is in the news.

 

I can't see Hilary Clinton making it to President.  I really can't.   She hasn't been giving the media the interviews that other candidates have, although I think one is scheduled in the future.  Her appearances have all been carefully orchestrated, such as being filmed in a coffee shop with handpicked guests, not the general public.   She doesn't want the general public shouting out embarrassing questions about missing e-mails, and all the other questions surrounding her.

 

I think she will be overtaken by the other Democratic candidate, Bernie Saunders, sometimes referred to as the dishevelled socialist.   But he actually scrubs up quite well.

 

 

 

I think this is so sad.  I used to love the Cosby Show.  How did he get to this.  He is accused of administering these sedative drugs to women and raping them.

There are other news stories, but I think I'll call this a day.
