I've been suffering for nearly 24 hours with really severe abdominal cramps, that come and go - fortunately they aren't constant. I don't have any other symptoms except a feeling of the blahs, but that could be due to the weather. I have been going over in my mind what I've eaten in the last few days.
You may remember I bought two 1-1/2 qt containers of ice cream for when Joe's girls were here. I ate the remainder of one of the containers two days ago, an I'm ashamed to say I ate the second one last night. That's a lot of ice cream and a lot of sugar. I think it could be what makes me feel so ill now, but I'm not a doctor, even though I usually diagnose my ailments as well as any doctor! I have no other symptoms - only the abdominal cramps - and I think it has to be something I ate. I just took a long nap and am thinking about what I might have for my supper, which is certain to include some mixed vegetables. In fact, I may make my meal out of the veggies alone.
Today is the last day of low 90's weather, and tomorrow it goes back to much higher temps, a reason to feel sick in itself!
I just got an email from eBay explaining the long wait for my coffee grinder as it is on the slow boat from China. They asked me to give the product a 5 Star rating if I can, and if I want to give them less than 5 stars to contact eBay first. I can't tell you how sorry I am that I didn't look closer at specialty stores here in Sacramento, even if I had to pay more for a similar product. I guess I've always had an impatient streak and it sure has been activated by this purchase.

I hope you get your grinder in time for your camping trip and that you feel well by then. I can't remember when you are going, but it is probably coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteThat camping trip keeps getting pushed back,but I'm hoping to get out for at least a few days. September might be a bit cooler than now, so I'm not in any hurry.
DeleteI am guessing ice cream will not be on the menu today:) Hope you feel better real soon!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the ice cream is all gone and I'm not tempted. Thanks, I'm already feeling a lot better.
DeleteWhy would you have to contact them to rate this item, that's ridicules what are they trying to hide?
ReplyDeleteAll online companies want to be rated, and I guess eBay is interested in knowing how this company overseas is doing, and how I like their product. I sometimes do the rating but most of the time I don't - it has to be either really good or really bad!
DeleteI don't think they are allowed to do that. Don't see how you could possibly give them 5 stats as a company to do business with. I sure hope you feel better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThere is more than one issue: the product could be so good it would merit a 5-star rating. As far as service goes, I should have been more attentive to where it was being shipped from. To be truthful, I don't need it right away and the wait is more of an aggravation to my patience than anything else. I'll have to hold judgment until I receive the product, and if it's a piece of junk, then I will have gotten just about what I paid for. If it's pretty good, then I can justify the wait. I won't EVER order from an online company again unless I have to, and then I will have to know where the product is being shipped from.
