It's November already?!?

I just went and viewed my blog. According to the preview I haven't posted since July! What happened to the 10 or so other blogs that I wrote in between then and now?!? I think someone hacked my blogspot and deleted them. I hope you got to read then before they were deleted. And don't worry, I have full intentions of finding who did this horrible deed.

I really don't have anything of much excitement to write about so I'll give a life lesson instead. This comes from a phone call that a lady at work received recently. The nice gentleman on the phone had ordered a set of golf clubs online, I didn't take the call so I'm not sure what site he ordered them from. Just for the fun of it let's say he ordered them off of ebay. Now, I don't golf, but according to this gentleman they were a very nice set of clubs... and amazingly inexpensive for how good of quality they were in. Seemed like a deal too good to pass up. Let's now take the opportunity to add that they were coming from China. I must say that they do send over some nice knock-off Kate Spade and Coach purses, but golf clubs? Let's get real here. If the clubs are half the price then they are normally worth that should be a hint to not buy them oh innocent golf club buyer gentleman. I'm just sayin. Needless to say that the bank could not do anything for him as he couldn't find where to ship them back to (ooh, suprise there). Goodwill might accept them though. Maybe.

So life lesson. Things, or sometimes even people, are not always what you hoped for or expected. Get over it as best you can and move on. (Although if we're speaking of people, please don't drop them off at Goodwill) I'll also add that 9 times out of 10, if an item is coming from China and the offer is too good to be true, then don't buy it!
