D-Link Stole From Me

I bought this KVM Switch from newegg.com. They rock with
computer hardware at competitive prices. Thing is, I send in the rebate to
D-Link some 6-8 weeks ago and they send me a card saying my rebate is denied
because of an invalid UPC code. So I call them up and they ask me if I plan to
resubmit. I ask them how am I supposed to resubmit if I sent them the original.

?Well sir, do you remember how much the rebate was for??

?I don?t have a clue. I bought the thing weeks ago. I don?t
even remember what I bought. I would guess twenty bucks.?

?Sir, it was ten dollars.?

?Okay. Regardless, I still can?t send you the UPC code since
I sent you the original.?

?It wasn?t valid. Your rebate is denied.?

?Then send me back my receipt.?

?As our policy says, those items become our property.

?Let me get this straight. I send you a rebate form, my
receipt and my ONLY UPC code from the box, which effectively means if anything
happens I can?t return it to where I bought it?and you?re telling me that I can?t
get back the proof of purchase.?

?Sir, it?s our pol??

?Yeah, I got you. What?s your name?? pause ?Thanks [Steve].
This has nothing to do with you. I?m reporting your company to the Better
Business Bureau. This is ridiculous. Good day.?

First Evangelical Blog Awards Finalist

Cue 20th Century Fox Fanfare

The Finalists for the Evangelical Blog Awards have been
announced with yummy goodies in all categories. Somehow this site has
managed to remain in the running under the Apologetics category and still no
outcry of ?foul!? or ?heretic!?

With such fine apologist?s as Razor?s Kiss, Real Clear
Theology
, Joe Missionary and Weapons of Warfare on the field I?m sure that the ?heretic!?
cry may even rise from my own category! Either way, if it makes you ill
thinking that my site can be crowned Best Evangelical Blog in Apologetics make
sure to pray earnestly and get out and vote for one of these other guys during
the allotted two days when the polls are opened. Otherwise, my hands are clean
of this matter.

Also, look forward to the Salon du Refus??my
completely arbitrary and likely fanciful choosing of Blogs not in the Awards!

The Polls are now officially opened! Send in your 1 Vote for any of the fine blogs mentioned or the Archive. Send an email to eblogawards@gmail.com
with your vote. (Plus check out my sleek new graphic on the Lower Left Hand Corner!)

Thanksgiving: Tulip Girl

From her site:

T7 was tickled this morning when the doctor said he could come home
today. Hubby bundled up the three other boys and met me at the hospital
tonight. My heart felt so full seeing the reunion of all the boys and
how excited they were to see each other. The boys vyed for seats next
to T7 when we stopped at McDs on the way home. C4 kept saying, "You get
to sleep with ME tonight!" And I was just so happy to see Hubby. It’s
good to be home and all together again.

God’s Unlimited Power to Save

What happens to those who have never heard the Gospel? This addresses
the sweeping portions of the population which ranges from the heathen, the
mentally handicapped, the infants, the still-born and the miscarried. Eternal
life unto him who believes (Jn 3:15)?but
what if a person never heard?
