Monday Morning Meant Monumental Momentum (until it didn't)!

Hello everyone here in Wealthy Affiliate!

I thought I went to bed early enough, well, just after midnight, but I still felt tired after I had been on the computer within the Wealthy Affiliate Community for about 30 minutes.

I tossed and turned, watched a movie, and finally fell asleep 3/4 into the second movie. I turned off my alarm at 6:38am, and climbed out of bed, and had been working for about 45 minutes in the WAC, when Monica called me. We ended up talking until a little after 9 am.


Kitty had come in the room during that time, and hung around for a little while. She laid at my feet for at least a good thirty minutes. It was then that I noticed that I needed to cut some lumps out of her fur, but that will be for another time.

The rest of the images I took of the morning are below:

I then decided to feed the Blog Dogs too!

I was still euphoric about yesterday's activities with Samantha concerning them.

I then had to go take care of something at Box N Ship for a friend, and run some other errands on the motorcycle. Monica was texting me as I was on the errands with the motorcycle.


When I got back to the eBay house she called me shortly after. She does not seem to be having the best day at work today, but she has almost gotten through it. We shall see if she decides to leave early.

Then it was finally time to get back on some Wealthy Affiliate research that I was working on before I ran out of time this morning.

I still have not rekindled the writing muse on the website, but have been diligently working on my latest manuscript, which is now at 52 pages and counting. I have had a lot of distractions today, although most of them were very welcome.

I know all too well that most of us have days like this, well, this one is one of mine! I am remaining positive no matter what though!

BUYER BEWARE!

One of the distractions (the PRIMARY one) that I had, concerned one of those mini-chainsaws that you often see on YouTube in the ads! The thing looks GREAT in the advertising, but that is about it. I finally broke down and bought one on way back on Memorial day weekend where they had a "half-price" special.

I waited and waited for the fast 3-9 day shipping, but the mini-saw never arrived. I checked the email that I used to order it, and they were already asking for positive feedback and adding gift offers for friends of mine.

I responded that the problem was, I could not leave a review because I had not yet received it. This, of course, was three weeks later! To their credit, they said they would do some "checking into things". Okay, fine.

I kept checking back every few days, and then finally about 1 week later, they said the carrier lost it, and they were sending out another.

I FINALLY GOT IT TODAY, BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE!


The box was somewhat damaged, but at least everything appeared to be in order.

I worked on putting together what should have been a sturdy tool according to the advertisements, but ended up being anything but that! It did finally work, but the battery, which allegedly had two-hour use time with the high speed motor, petered out after barely cutting a less than one inch diameter shoot sticking out of the ground, which is what I purchased it to do--that and other small branches.

You can see in the image above that I had to finish ripping the twig out. Watching those advertisement videos, they were ripping through almost three inch branches in warp speed!

This, of course has slowed my productivity, because it has been a BIG let-down. I normally don't do this, but I was duped after watching these ads for three to four months. Who knows? Maybe I got a dud, though I highly doubt it. I WAS the dud for buying it for HALF PRICE of only $67.99! (I would not give $10 for it at a yard sale!)

Anyhow, aside from my other activities to start the new week, this has eaten up most of the day. I will reach out to them in good faith, but more than likely, I will be initiating a charge-back on my card, if they do not offer me some satisfaction.

I will say that one of the best--if not THE best--deals that I have ever made was subscribing to Wealthy Affiliate!

Here is a final image of another bunny when I was out at the picnic table earlier.

The rest of my evening will be spent both on the computer, and also resting a bit!

I TRUST THAT EVERYONE HERE HAD AN EXCELLENT START TO ANOTHER WORK WEEK. I FINALLY GOT A COUPLE OF TASKS THAT I HAD BEEN PUTTING OFF ACCOMPLISHED, SO I WAS CERTAINLY GLAD FOR THAT.

Sounds like a slightly frustrating start to week Jeff! But at least you were in contact with Monica a few times!

But maybe your mini chainsaw could be put to good use after all...

If it is powerful enough then it could assist you in the tricky corners of the garden when you are mowing the lawn!!๐Ÿคฃ (Sorry, I couldn't resist)!

Make sure that you have a fantastic day today my friend! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฅ‚

๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿถ๐Ÿซ

Yes, indeed, Nick! At least there was that, although, I have not heard from her today yet, not surprisingly! ๐Ÿ™„

Haha, I know you couldn't resist, my friend, but what garden??

I hope I have a fantastic day, but that still remains to be seen!๐Ÿ˜ณ

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿฅฉ

What? No quick call to wish you all the best in the morning??

The garden back at YOUR house which you are kind enough to keep mowing Jeff!

I'm sure you will my friend... just crack open a few cold ones and see where the day goes!!๐Ÿป

๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿป

Nope, not even that! An ex-girlfriend was my first Birthday call! Now, my mother! That's the way that Monica is at times, it seems!

Yep, I do things to help over there for Monica! That won't change until I know that she is with someone else.

I'm on cold one number three, but if this keeps up, I'll have to go get some more while I can!

That's all I can do!

I hope you're having a good day!

๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ˜น

It certainly seems that way Jeff, but good on you for helping out when you can nevertheless!!

Only 3?? And it must be what just after 2pm!! Very restrained in my opinion, but I would always pick up some more before it's too late!

You don't want to run out today of all days my friend! ๐Ÿป

๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿป

Much appreciated, Nick!

I've had a couple more since then, my friend!

I rode the piglet over and got seven more--no worries there!

๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿช๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿฅฉ๐Ÿฅฉ

I hate that you got a dud, Jeff! I have been known to get suckered into purchases like that. You always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but they donโ€™t care. Itโ€™s only a transaction to them and they donโ€™t care if you are a repeat customer or not.

Canty

I do too, Canty! I will remain positive thrroughout this, and no matter what happens, I will have become wiser, but will also be even more leery in the future too!

We shall see what eventually happens! It's just another thing to take care of in the growing "To Do" list that is seemingly never-ending!

Jeff

Maybe you could do a โ€œspoofโ€ movie. The mini chainsaw massacre.
This is one of my pet peeves about companies that sell kraptacular products. They are late in delivery ( warning no. 1), difficult assembly, then a product that the world would be better off not having. And trees have been chopped, water usedโ€ฆnatural resources that could have gone into a decent product.
I hope this blog stops a few , hopefully thousands, people buying this ( in my opinion) obviously shoddy product.

Stevoi

Haha, I love it Stevoi! With this little 4" blade, it would have to be "close quarters" combat, and then it would be doubtful that this item would actually harm anyone!๐Ÿ˜ณ

Jeffoi

Hopefully you can get your money back...if not, leave them a negative review. You're probably not the first nor the last to get taken in by something that looks better than it is. Sorry to hear that, Jeff! What a disappointment.

Great pics as always and nice to hear about your day. BTW, does Kitty enjoy being brushed since she has so much beautiful fur...have a good evening!

Susan ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿถ

Oh, I'll get my money back because I'll do a chargeback on them if they won't honor something, Susan. I'm going to do a little further research and tests first though.. It is disappointing no matter what.

Thanks, my friend! Kitty can't be brushed, I'm having to start cutting all the knots of hair she has.๐Ÿ™€

You have a good evening too, my friend!

Jeff

What a disappointment! I know how that feels when you spend your hard-earned cash on something and it turns out to be a piece of garbage! I hope they give your money back!

Have a good evening!

Barbara

I know what you mean, Barbara! I'll do a chargeback on the card if I decide to return it. I'm still looking into a couple of things!

You have a good evening too, my friend!

Jeff
