Wouldn't if figure, for over two months I've smelled gass in my house but everyone teels me that's not what it is. We get a relative that comes to visit and their first response is you have a gas leak. I reply I thought so and their response is why haven't I done anything.

Me? I told everyone, everyone thought I was wrong. Apparently smokers can't smell a gas leak or something to that nature. The husband wondered why our gas bill was so high. Umm, now we all know.

So what happens, I call the landlord he calls the gas company and he must come fix things. He comes and goes down into the bottom of the house to fix it. Comes back up says he has turned off the heat and I must wait until morning for the gas company to approve. Fine! Whatever, it's life right? I can go a day without a shower. Can I? Gross!

Gas company comes out, inspects, isn't happy and lets me know two things he must do to fix it. They explain they do not turn it back on, he must do that. I call him once again. He says he'll come over at night (8 p.m.), I get a call around 7 p.m. (I'm counting down until that shower), he can't come over. Wants to know if we can do it.

Hubby tried, it didn't work, probably why he didn't come out.

Long story short, still no gas. Don't even ask me about a shower.

Dell has officially has earned an entry on my shit list. These assholes have seriously lost my business, respect and trust. Long story short: Dell sucks ass! It's that simple... they suck!

13 months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook computer. It's a wonderful system, really have had no problems with it other than the fact that I wear the keypad and touch pad out every other month...

When I purchased the notebook computer, I also purchased an on site warranty. However, this warranty is absolutely useless unless you are prepared to dedicated over 8 hours of time to spend speaking with representatives from third world counties who barely speak English.

I remember just six months ago, it was a crap shoot and sometimes I would get an American call center and others times I would not. However; today, the hopes of speaking to someone from an American call center no longer exists. Instead, I get connected with people who seriously barely speak English and who have absolutely ZERO knowledge of computers. It's completely frustrating!

So, in my humble opinion... Dell, sucks ass, and they can suck mine. :)

What about DHL? Why do they suck ass?

Well.. after investing all the time I did into getting my replacement notebook computer shipped out to me, DHL took it upon themselves to lose my notebook during shipping. Tracking my package leads to it hanging in Nashville TN for over 8 days. I contacted DHL today to ask why my package remains in Nashville and not on the truck for delivery to Clarksville, and I was explained that my package has gone missing.

LOL!!!

How do you misplace a fucking laptop from Dell? That is just stupid! Their response was standard, "we are not able to produce an answer for you at this time"

LOL!!!

What a joke... the truth of the matter is probably a DHL employee stole my computer because they knew that they could get away with it.

So, DHL officially gets an entry into my shit list and in my humble opinion, DHL sucks ass, and I'll never use them as my carrier to transport anything of value.

Anyway... that is my rant, if you read this, I totally would advice AGAINST buying from Dell and I would totally advice against using DHL. They both suck ass. :)

I'll keep the world posted on when and IF I ever do get a replacement computer from Dell.

I am really not sure what is worse, a power outage during winter or a power outage during summer. For my wife and kid's sake, I would say that a winter power outage is worse for the fact that it can get pretty damn cold in the house. However, for me, I don't mind it too bad. Personally, I feel that a power outage during summer is much worse for the fact that the house gets extremely hot.

What brought this post on? Good question! Tonight we had a power outage for about 8 hours and the house got around 43 degrees and my wife and kids were freezing their ass off and I was running around the house trying to figure out how the hell to get on the Internet.

I hate parents that can torture their children, honestly I have no clue how someone could do it. It sickens me, it disgusts me. When a parent tortures or kills a child, all they ever get is prison. Why can't we give them the crime they commited on their own children until they have the same outcome?

Don't believe these things actually happen? They do, read below:

Mom Suffocates Daughter with Autism- Mother depressed over her daughter's autism takes a plastic bag, places it over her daughter's face. Oh the bag is of course clear so she can see her face. She wraps it around and suffocates her. I have no clue how this mother could do this while she stared at her little girl's face as she struggled, probably screaming, crying and confused about why her mom was hurting her.

Father throws his 4 kids off bridge- He got into an argument with his wife and left tossing two children in the river, came back home took the other two and tossed them over. I guess it was easier to toss them since all four weren't together. This is just awful.

How can any parent do something so cruel? Babies are meant to be loved and treasured you assholes. Take those children away from these cruel people and give them to someone that will adore them. The only problem with half these stories is the people show no signs until it is too late.

To the good parents out there: Give your child a hug today.

To the bad parents out there: You know who you are, I hope you get what's coming to you.

Why do so many rich daddy's girls from third world countries have so much trouble with getting their money entered into the USA? It puzzles me how people fall for this shit. The scam is the same every time; however, this one was pretty entertaining as the email mentions that this is from a 22 year old female in distress.

It kind of pisses me off, knowing that many people fall for this garbage. How often do you get emails like this?

Umm, when someone gives you a date to be home and wait around all fucking day, aren't they suppose to deliver? First, when we moved we decided we'd start fresh and new, whick basically means we left all our used furniture. We knew we'd have the money to buy brand new furniture and we had plans, this would be the first time we'd ever have really nice items. When we got out here we wrecked, but that's another rant and it wasn't our fault. This hurt our plans as now we'd be using a rental but we still went shopping. We found a HUGE furniture store that had three floors so we decided we'd buy all our furniture except the tv and bookshelves there.

The couch and beds were first as we don't want to sleep on the floor, even though it was carpet. Who likes waking up to an aching back or kids complaining it isn't a bed but just an air mattress. Heck, we even bought the damn air mattress in the meantime. At the end of our shopping they told us they'd see us Monday, this was Friday. We were really excited to hear we'd have furniture in just a few days. Only one problem, this was a new town and new school, this would be my kids' first day at school. Call me sentimental, I don't care but I wanted to be the one to walk them through those doors on the first day. But due to only having one fucking car because some idiot couldn't see he had a red light, I couldn't. Hubby worked in the city and needed it more than I did.

I wanted to still walk them, but I couldn't do that either as the furniture people never told us a time, just Monday. What if they came and I was at the school, would I miss getting our beds? I was not missing this. But I was pissed at missing the kids first day. I waited, and waited and waited. Hubby came home, principal came by for some paperwork, kids came home. Still no furniture. I called the number, it wasn't suppose to be here until the 21st. So, I screwed up, I'd just have to wait until the following Monday...a whole other week.

We some how got through the week and the day before I get a phone call, "We can't bring your couch, it isn't here." Umm, what the fuck? How is it not there? Just give me the damn couch that was on the floor, we are sitting on the floor as it is. I have lived in hotels for two months I don't want this, I want a real house.

"Ma'am there is nothing we can do, we have no clue why it isn't here." But it should be here by the end of the week. Umm, yeah right, whatever. Okay so end of the week, no big deal. I'd have beds and a living room. Beds came, no couch. Finally I called again, where is it? I want it. Ya'll said by this date, it's past that date. I paid for delivery, what's up?

"Ma'am sometimes things happen. I feel for you I do." No she doesn't, she doesn't care as long as she finishes this call she gets paid. I want my damn couch! Hey if you spent the money I did you'd want your stuff too. I purchased 5 beds from them, a sectional couch with something called a chaise and a dining room table with 6 very nice chairs withe the damn hutch. You'd think they'd want to deliver EVERYTHING on time. Wouldn't you? Well, I just got a call, it'll be here this Thursday....I'm not sure if I want to hold my breathe. How would you feel?

Telephone customer service is a freaking joke. I can't really place my finger on the exact day when the shit hit the fan with telephone support. I think it kind of falls under the same category as attempting to watch grass grow.

Dell.com at one point in time,  had pretty decent customer service. Unfortunately, their phone supports today totally sucks ass. It's terrible. Absolutely dreadful. I had to get warranty work done on my notebook and the experience was something I won't forget.

I started my venture by going to www.dell.com to get their phone number. I called, the number shown on their web site and navigated my way through the menu options. I was prompted to enter my service tag number and a few other pieces of info. After that was done, I was put back into their holding pattern for about ten minutes. At that point in time, someone picked up the phone and I had to re-verify all the stupid information I had already plugged into their system. (What is the point of making me enter it into the phone in the first place if you're going to ask again).

Having gone through all that, finally I can explain that I need to get warranty work on my stupid notebook. Quickly I was interrupted and told that I need to contact their support department. I was issued out the proper phone number and the call was ended.

So, now I proceeded to call the second number, having to go through all the same process as mentioned above. After about 15 minutes of being on hold, a person picked up (mind you he had really bad broken English) and explained to me that the service department to handle my request is closed.

WTF is wrong with telephone support and customer service today? I freaking blows... I paid very good money for my notebook and even more money to have a bull shit warranty. Little did I know that I would have to invest over 8 hours into getting warranty work processed on my notebook computer.

Don't get me wrong, Dell computers are awesome and their support was awesome too, at one point in time. But just like attempting to watch grass grow, you don't notice a difference on a day to day basis. However, if you step out on to your porch and look at your grass after two weeks from mowing it, you'll see a difference. If you're last contact with Dell was about a year ago and if you call them today, not only will you have a pain in your ass, but you'll want to take your computer and shove it up Dell's ass.

Treadmills are tons of fun... I'll admit that I have almost falling off one a few times. My family recently purchased on and it can go up to 10 miles an hour. The fastest I have gone on it was 7 MPH. Here is a video that you might find entertaining.

I'll be honest, I don't know who the hell I am voting for. You're welcome to drop a comment and voice your opinion on who I should vote for. I am going to have a very difficult time in the voting booth and unfortunately time is going very fast and I have no idea where my vote is going. Who are you voting for and most importantly... WHY!!!

Don't just drop a comment and tell me who has your vote, I seriously want to know your reasoning behind your vote and please back up your comments with facts and don't post bull shit propaganda. I need facts and not just a bunch of political mumbo jumbo.

What is an SEO expert? To be honest, the claimed SEO experts that I know are idiots. They don't know shit about search engine optimization and majority try to makes things much for complicated that what things really need to be.

SEO basically is the process of using a balanced HTML code design that is optimal for search engines to read. This isn't freaking rocket science. There are many SEO blogs out that that pick and pull apart the code from many popular websites and blogs and then publicly analyze and speculate the original designers intentions. Specifically what they do is attempt to looking way into the code and determine if the designer is trying to game the search engines or not.

I almost find reading many of the sites of these claimed SEO experts to be entertaining. They pick and tear about and criticize the efforts of others and acts as if they are the head honcho in charge.

If you are wanting to learn how to better optimize your web site or blog for search engines, invest some time into researching the references, articles and documents that many of the major search engines provide publicly.

Again, SEO isn't rocket science, it's a matter of making your blog or web site accessible for search engines so that your content can get indexed, ranked and seen in the search engines.

  It's true... the whole eBook thing really pisses me off. In my opinion, the invention of eBook were supposed to be something that allowed many talented and gifted writers an easier way to publishing by using the Internet. Unfortunately today, most eBooks are garbage and packed so full of propaganda and useless information. 

I am not saying that all eBooks are worthless pieces of shit... there are actually many excellent high quality eBooks out there that can help people a lot. However, what I am saying is this...

Because of how many bull shit waste of money eBooks out here on the Internet, it makes it difficult for me to find and or decipher which ones are the good ones versus the ones that are scams.

I don't know... you tell me, what are some really good trusted eBooks that you have found. Be warned, if you drop a comment trying to self promote your piece of shit eBook, I'll get pretty upset and flame you.

I want to know about some really good eBooks that have changed your life or how your go about doing something.  I could give a shit less about the topic, as I'll let the search engines sort all that stuff out.

I am or was a pretty big fan of the famous CBS show, Survivor.
I'll have to admit, for the first time since the very beginning,
I absolutely did not watch a single show last year.
The new season coming up does look pretty promising
and it has totally captured my attention. The current season
coming up is called, "Fans vs Favorites", and I have to admit,
I think it will be very entertaining.

So what do you think, are there way too many seasons of
Survivor? Do you think that CBS is over doing it and diluting the
excitement with the show? The reason I ask this is because I can compare my own person anticipation
when Big Brother is about to air compared to my level of anticipation with the any given next season of
Survivor.

Personally, for me, I enjoy watching Big Brother much more than watching Survivor. For one, Big Brother
is one three days of the week. Secondly, it's current and live, meaning it wasn't recorded months ago.
Third, is the fact that I can subscribed to the Big Brother Live Feed and watch the events as they take
place. So, I don't know... what do you think? Does CBS product way too many Survivor seasons?

Drop me a comment and share your thoughts.

I can't begin to tell you how many times in a given day I hear or see commercials on TV as well as the radio for newly released prescription drugs. It drives me nuts! For 30 to 60 seconds, the commercial talks about how wonderful this new drug is and how it will change your life and change the world.

The part that I love most about these advertisements is the very ending when the announcer comes on and talks really really, and I mean REALLY fast about all the side effects. Some of the side effects mentioned are absolutely freaky! In many cases some of the side effects are worse than the original problem!

I hate driving down the road and seeing some idiot talking on their cell phone, when they can't even stay in their own lane!

Okay two things happened to me this week. First, how would you feel if you just moved into a house and in the first week of living there get this note in the door:

Mary, (name changed to protect whoever it is)
I wasn't sure if I should knock or not. Let me know how late is too late.
No signature

Yeah, umm, this was found slid into my door. I have no clue who the no name is or who Mary is for that matter. But here's where it gets worse, the note in question was left some time after 11 p.m. but before 5 a.m. You tell me, how late is too late? Buddy whoever the fuck ya are, if you dared knock anywhere during those hours you will have a very pissed off husband and a wife that will attack as you just woke up her kids. Hubby because you just woke him up.

What kind of idiot comes over that late anyways? Buddy you need to go find Mary and leave us alone. You don't want to mess with folks that just got out of the military, or moved into a brand new house. There's no telling what's behind that door.

The cops at my door part (sorry this wasn't included earlier)....
late last night after we had just fallen to sleep, okay, I didn't because I sensed something was up. Don't ask me why, I get those stupid vibes all the time and something happens. Well, hubby had just started snoring and someone began pounding our front door. I pushed him, "Get up, someone's at the fucking door." He jumped up quickly and flew down the stairs. I know this because I could hear the hop hop and not him taking each one.

I could hear a female voice asking for, "Mary," but that was all. When he came back he tells me, "It was the cops, they were here to arrest Mary, whoever that is. I told them she must've moved because we just moved here and no one in this house with that name."

Okay so it isn't a huge story, but when you have a bad feeling and can't sleep and everything is quiet and suddenly you hear a pounding after you've went to bed, how the heck would you feel? I was scared out of my mind.

Okay many of you may know me by Homemom3, others by Eliza. But this blog is going to show a side of me that...well let's be honest, Homemom3 just doesn't. I may say shit, or bitch more often then you are use to seeing and I may actually speak my mind.

I am happy to finally be able to express myself in a way I have held behind a closed door for so long. Thanks to my blogging buddy, Garry Conn, for creating this new blog. Bitching and blogging is going to be a fun place where you can speak your mind and with your own choice of words. In a way it's a blogger's freedom place.

My name is Garry. Many people know me from my personal blog at Garry Conn dot Com. I am partnered up with my good blog buddy, Eliza Ferree, and together we have started something really fun. It's a blog titled, Bitching and Blogging. Eliza and I are both full time bloggers and we invest so much time into blogging about things that fall within our niche and chosen topics. From time to time this can be a little boring and dull. With that being said, I am not sure about Eliza, but that is part of the reason why I decided to partner with her and create Bitching and Blogging.

Bitching and Blogging is a blog where I am personally just going to lay my cards on the table and freely speak my mind. As I invest more time into blogging, I find that there is more and more things to bitch and rant about. One thing is for sure, bitch and rant blogs tend to get popular real quick. So, whether that will happen with Bitching and Blogging, you can count on me to freely speak my mind about things that bother me.

I tend to bite my tongue quite a bit on my personal blog. However, that is largely due to the fact that I am trying to help people learn a professional skill. With that being said, make no mistake, I really enjoy blogging and I really have a huge mouth and have an even larger opinion about many things. For me, Bitching and Blogging will be a place where I can let loose and blow off some needed steam. I hope you enjoy and if you are interested in writing with Eliza and myself, drop me or Eliza an email or a comment and we can get you hooked up with an account so you can bitch about shit too.
