Machelle Has Her Say
The weather turned cold last week and we had freeze warnings on Thursday and Friday night. So I brought in my plants and will keep them inside for the winter. I have been tending these plants for several years and I would be so very upset to lose them to frost or freezing.
Just when I was resigned to wearing a jacket and getting used to the cold again, the weather forecast has called for temps back in the upper 70’s and 80’s this week. So I guess we are having an Indian Summer.
The leaves are starting to turn color and blow off the trees. I might have to actually rake my yard for the first time this weekend. It makes me sad to have to acknowledge that summer is really over, even though the days get warm and we have not had a frost yet. But the falling leaves are tough to deny. Autumn is definitely here!
For years I would turn on the TV when I got home each night and then leave the TV on all night. Most of the time it was on CBS and I just left it on CBS. But now I like a show that I just happened to discover that is on NBC. I don’t want to leave the TV on NBC all the time – most of their shows annoy me. But this one is good. So now I just turn off the TV except for when that particular show comes on and when I want to watch the news.
About once a month, sometimes more often, I get an email from GoDaddy about saving money on domain names. Now, I only have a couple of domain names and it really does not cost very much to keep them registered with an annual renewal. But I’m all about saving money when I can. It all adds up!
So I tried to use the last coupon that GoDaddy sent me in my email last week and supposedly good for the rest of this month, promising a 20% savings. When I tired to use it, it said I wasn’t qualified to use the discount. I tried the coupon code, I tried using other links on their site, and I finally had to call their tech support people. Turns out that the coupon code did me no good – I got a better discount without having to do anything on their site except check out. What a great waste of time and huge frustration to me to deal with all of that – all for nothing.
