Now as serious as that was, the thought popped into my head that said I should use some thermal past and reseat his heatsink.

Well the dryer is fixed, I am going take in another car to be fixed and try to sell the bad one for 750 bucks hopefully. The baby had a scratchy throat so the dad decided he wasn't "equiped" to handle that so he took the 3 year old over night but not the baby. They called and said they are super busy on the oven and that it will be about 6 more business days from Thursday. So stupid, it sucks not being able to cook.

It could be worse, chugging though. ]]> lemans81 http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/883-ok-its-bit-better.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/874-stress-overwhelming.html Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:22:48 GMT Its been a stressful week, lets recap. -Our newest car, the rods are knocking(this means its done).(mind you that its a 98 but still our newest) -The oven broke(warranty work will take 10 days before it will be fixed) -Dryer broke looking at 4 days before they come look at it. -My razor... Its been a stressful week, lets recap.

-Our newest car, the rods are knocking(this means its done).(mind you that its a 98 but still our newest)

-The oven broke(warranty work will take 10 days before it will be fixed)

-Dryer broke looking at 4 days before they come look at it.

-My razor cellphone died....for the third time.

-We are foster parents, we have had two kids with us for 10 months, the kids just got a new case worker, and she has a hard on for their dad. She is rushing them back to him. Now lets give a little history, they are 10months and 3.5years old. We have had the 10 month old since he was 24 hours old. The 3.5 year old has spend more time in the system than out with her parents. The dad who is all thats left(mom disappeared) has been busted for possession SINCE the kids came into state care...we really wanted to adopt and the parents are horrible, which I would love to share more but can't. ]]> lemans81 http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/874-stress-overwhelming.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/644-folding.html Tue, 02 Sep 2008 12:16:33 GMT Random post and recruitment attempt.

Paypal paid the man, then started to process the card. In the 3 days it took to process my debit card expired. My bank denied it obviously, well paypal never sent me a message saying... Ok basically I purchased a cpu from someone, $115 was in my paypal, and 73 had to come from my bank(debit card). Paypal paid the man, then started to process the card. In the 3 days it took to process my debit card expired. My bank denied it obviously, well paypal never sent me a message saying anything but my bank did. So I saw my card expired so I added my bank account to my paypal and my new debit card. Today the guy comes calling for his money, because paypal said they cancelled it. Still no email for me, from paypal. I go to paypal and it says it was denied and my account is $40 in the hole(I got a payment on something else for $33). So I pay it instantly and its now shows my account balance as $0.

But he has no money, and I don't have the money. Paypal has taken his/mine $189 into their imaginary land of not existing. So I am left with the debate, resend the money and hope they refund it. (which will hurt me financially, because it will put me behind on some bills) Or wait and see if I get it back and resend immediately....guess I have to see what the guy wants to do.

Its going to be a bad day I just know it. ]]> lemans81 http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/553-my-own-stupidity-paypal-crappy-day.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/535-another-day-another-dollar.html Thu, 22 May 2008 05:46:33 GMT Its my friday, I need this weekend been chugging through work sick for 2 days.

It was scheduled to be shipped today, its not, they pulled it off the truck this morning due to an "error" but you can spend an extra $70 and get a q6600....bait and switch.


There now telling me that I can just pay an extra $70 and have a q6600 their current cheapest cpu. BAIT and SWITCH. I will post chat log in a second.

Here we go:

You have been connected to Rachael P.
Rachael P: Thank you for contacting Tigerdirect.com. How may I assist you?
Jeremy : I ordered from compusa(you guys), an e8400 and it was scheduled to be delivered today, but you guys requested that the package be shipped back to you.
Rachael P: My apologies. Please bear with me for a few moments while I figure out the issue.
Rachael P: Ok, I apologize, this item is being recalled from shipping as it was mis-marked on our site. We are offering two similar CPUS: CP2-DUO-Q6600 or CP2-DUO- Q6700.
Jeremy : ....
Jeremy : your basically screwing me over
Jeremy : You messed up and I have to pay for your mistake
Jeremy : This is how you treat customers on their first purchase from your company
Rachael P: No, this was a mis-advertisement and before the adjustment was made they were shipped. We will fully refund your entire order if you do not wish to substitute the item with one of the other CPU's.
Rachael P: I do apologize for the inconvenience
Jeremy : So my options are to pay $30 more or take one of those cpus?
Rachael P: We can request a price match of one of the replacement CPU's if you wish.
Rachael P: I apologize, I meant a discount, not price match.
Jeremy : Are you saying I can have a Q6700 as a replacement straight up for what I have paid?
Rachael P: Not for $139.99, but we can request a discount
Jeremy : So basically bait and switch?
Rachael P: Nothing about a bait and switch. It was an advertising error that we must correct. Again, we are issuing a full refund if you do not want a replacement.
Jeremy : I need a cpu, I have a customer waiting. I am going to lose money, maybe a sale. So what good is it. I lose reputation and money on all the other parts i have spent
Jeremy : So basically I have to spend more money to get any cpu.
Jeremy : or I get a refund and get nothing but the knowledge that you got to keep my $150 for a week
Rachael P: Sir, I apologize for this issue, and I wish I had another option than what I have already provided. Unfortunately, I do not.
Jeremy : How much is a q6600
Rachael P: It is $219.99
Jeremy : So what do you have thats 139.99
Rachael P: In the core 2 Quad (775) $219.99 is the least expensive.
Jeremy : Guess I will take a refund which I expect to be very very quick. You have had my money almost a week. I guess I will take all future business elsewhere.
Rachael P: As we have confirmed that the package has been rerouted, we will issue a return expedite. Once again, I can not apologize enough.
Jeremy : Ok well guess were done then, this is going to damage your companys reputation horribly ]]> lemans81 http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/503-compusa-tigerdirect-scam.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/lemans81/501-waiting.html Tue, 13 May 2008 05:50:08 GMT I just bought a ton of junk off ocn, and now I have to handle the worst part. Waiting for it to arrive, the board actually showed today, which considering I bought it on Friday isn't bad at all.
