Oops!
Oops, seems appropriate this morning for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, I never got around to posting yesterday. I had to work and when I got home, the lovely Mrs. Sneed was chomping at the bit to go somewhere, so we left right away and got back late. Even though the lovely Mrs. Sneed is presently fast asleep in the other room her personal radar just interpeted the previous sentence to mean that I blame her for not being able to post yesterday. (Yikes, she just came out of the bedroom, I think the radar alarm went off.) So, even though I meant to post yesterday it just didn't work out, not blaming anyone, just saying, I could have stayed up later, my fault, all my fault.
In another oops-related matter, it seems that we are going to Daughter Sneed's house today for a brunch. I didn't know. Again, my fault, I must have misheard or something because I thought it was tomorrow. The occasion is a visit from the lovely Mrs. Sneed's sister, who lives in California. She is here for the weekend and Daughter Sneed wanted to have it at her house because she has a lovely home that is presently a dazzling Christmas wonderland. Which brings me to another oops.
I had an email from Daughter Sneed this morning, asking me to call her when I got up. In her quest to win the Chritmas home-decorating contest in her subdivision, she took the locks off the front door so that she could properly decorate it. When she put the lock and handle back, they no longer work and the door is stuck closed. This probably isn't a big deal, but since she is a Sneed, she likely tossed and turned all night, mentally constructing fantastic senarios in which the house would have to be demolished in order to fix the door lock.
More later.
Merle.

I have to say thank you so very much!! I noticed a charge on my debit card that seemed strange on 12/18/06 for $12.95 to Icon Design Concepts in Florida. At first I just thought maybe I bought a Christmas gift on line or at the mall in one of those little booths and their home base was in Florida and forgot to record the transaction. However, I am really good at balancing my check book, check my account balance at the very least 4 times a week and match all my receipts to the transactions I see posted on my account. When I did not see any additional strange charges I thought it was my mistake. After I received my latest statement the other day, I noticed this charge again and tried to call the phone number 386-951-4388 which was on the transaction. I received the same message you did every time I called them, all operators are busy, etc, you can send an email to support@iconconcepts.com. I received an automatic reply that the email address did not exist. After that, I knew something was wrong. We hopped on line and googled the company and found nothing but that email address came across your blog. I immediately called my bank and cancelled my card. The bank told me this transaction was done on line and that they verified my address (which is very scary- how did they get my information???- on line somewhere I assume). I am so thankful you had posted that information about this company on your blog. You saved me who knows how much money and headache. Thank you very very much!!
