After promising to give you something for free, can it then be taken away? My husband and myself, agreed to sign up with Sprint for another two (2) years with the condition that we would receive three (3) new phones for each of the renewed phone lines. When speaking with the Sprint representative we told him to only list the Sprint phones that were up for FREE. Among those he listed were the TOUCH BY HTC and Centrino. While on the phone with him, I was doing a review search on the internet and the TOUCH had a better review, so we decided to go for the TOUCH by HTC. The gentleman was very nice and was able to cut our phone bill in half and we were very pleased. But, I did tell my husband to record the call (if they do it to us for their protection, we need to do it for our protection - but he kept insisting everything was fine - and I kept telling him that unless we have something in writing we are not). The next thing you know, the gentleman tells us that he needs to transfer us to a different department because he cannot order the phones on his end. So, here we go. We get transferred - I now leave to take care of our two young guyren (age 3 1/2 and 2) and by the time I return I am told that he was informed that we were not told we would get the phones for free and there is no way for them to know who we spoke to but for our inconvience, she would be willing to give us she would give us $50.00 per phone along with the credit for resigning for the contract but would have to come up with an additional $50.00 for each phone. By this time his was off the phone because I would have stepped in and stopped everything and made them honor the deal that was set forth. Now the phones arrive and they are turned on, the next day, my husband goes to use the phone and it does not work, he calls Sprint and gets a very rude woman who tells him that no such agreement was made and that he needs to make an immediate payment of $200.00 and even with that there was no gurantee the phones would be turned back on. He was so angry at this point he just hangs up, he calls me and is so emotional, he can barely speak, and just blurts out words Sprint, hung up, so angry, can't talk. I kinda get the gist but figure it is better just to let the matter calm down rather than ask questions and further inflate the situation.
When he comes home, he explains what happens. Now, I step in I call Sprint and get a supervisor Cody who tells me, that it is very much so written on the screen that there was a credit that was to have been applied of $150.00 and I explain the situation with the price of the phones and I tell Cody that by the time I get off the phone with him, there is no guarante that the price of the phones will not change yet again. Cody assures me that he will remain on the line with me until the problem has been resolved (this is a lie). I am put on with what must be the moron of the century John who does not understand what my problem is since I got my $150.00 credit. My husband and I try to explain calmly - we ask John to please explain the price of the phone and we record the call. John states his name that is a representative of Sprint and that no money is owed for the phones. Now please remember two things Cody has said that he will remain on the line till the phone situation is finished and at the begining of every call into a Sprint center it starts with "YOUR CALL MAY BE MONITERED (ANOTHER WORD FOR RECORDED). Now, John has been no help and I want to transferred bank and all Cody says is wait till that reprsentative hangs up, so I wait and John gets annoyed and tells me that no such thing can occur. Now, I am pissed at having been lied to again. I tell John to give me his supervisor which he hems and haws until he finally gives me Ebony. During the conversation where I repeat the whole situation again, . At that point, I had had it. I tell Ebony I have John recorded stating that John has just been recorded stating that we owe nothing for the phones, she tells me I cannot record them, I tell her I most certainly can, if you can record me I most definitely can record you and your telling me you will not honor what your agent just said and then she informs me that my husband agreed to pay $199.00 for each phone. I said enough, enough of these lies, enough of these games thats it. I want to cancel my contract. She says she needs to transfer me to another department and then hangs up on me. I call back and get a wonderful lady named Elca, who bends over backward but I can't believe anything that is said anymore. Elca does not understand any of it since it was clearly written in the notes that we were supposed to get the phones for free. Elca says she going to send the problem to escalation but surprise no return call.
I decide to call the corporate offices and after much run around I speak to a woman named Jennifer who informs me that several heads will undoubtably role but in the end Sprint will not honor anything and will do nothing to keep us as a customer.
My question is was any of this legal since the only people who will loose their jobs will be the nice gentleman who made a mistake and Elca because she admitted that it was in the system to begin with that we were supposed to get the phones for free. As opposed to John and Ebony for the things that I wrote and other things they did that I did not repeat.
Does anyone have any legal advise on how to handle to big guy? | | There is nothing free in this world anymore. I am sorry that you were taken advantage of by a con artist. You can take the case to your State Public Commissioner who regulates the phone companies. | Why do White guys have so much built up anger towards Black people? I don't get it. I asked a question on a website and a White guy left this rant that had NOTHING to do with my question!
"The simple fact that you posted a thread like this,shows you are an obvious racist black wench,but also a naive one.Your young if that photo is you and all you know is what you've been taught by your racist peer's who hate like you.Your proud of your heritage that's good,but so are we ebony princess!We Whites grow weary of pissed off Blacks that blame us for not liking you,dating you,putting you on a pedestal so we can bask in your self indulging so called brilliance.We don't give a shi_,truly about you and could care less what you think of us or how you think we think moron!I think White women overall are hands down more provocative in every regard then Black women are and that's to dam bad if that ruffles your racist azz!You'll find as you grow up hate monger,it's people like you that are the real reason racism exists because you'd be nothing without it.That goes true for the NAACP they need the hatred to exist or they'd be out of cushy job that pays them to do nothing!"
My question was not even racist, but some guy said I looked nice because I don't look full Black and I told him many Africans are gorgeous and smart and that ones in Americas are mixed because White men couldn't stay off of Black women and keep their d!cks in their pants. Then this dude came out of nowhere PISSED! | Most white men/people have NO issues with black people. Only stupid people results to racist comments like that. We can and must agree that their are racists in ALL races and that it is wrong!,
I have several black friends and I am attracted to many black women, but that's because I keep my options open. Its more about the mindset of a person. I really would enjoy seeing a picture of you! | Is my cat agressive or not ??? Should I adopt? Okay so i've been thinking about getting another cat. I decided to see if my current cat would be aggressive by bringing my cat (Ebony) to my mothers house, she owns a cat as well. My mom's cat got VERY pissed, her tail fluffed up and she hissed loudly. Ebony hissed, but her tail didn't puff and after a few seconds she just walked away. I'm wondering was my cat just hiss because my mom's cat was very threatening or was it because she is aggressive. Should I bring a none aggressive cat into my home?(I'll have the shelter check to see if the cat is aggressive towards other cats.) Or should i be fearful that something might happen??? | You took Ebony to your moms house - not her territory - very scary for her. Very upsetting for your moms cat. Ebony was an interloper in HER house.
Cats are always going to hiss when they feel threatened. They are going to hiss when there is a stranger in their territory. You cannot just bring a cat in and let it loose and expect everyone to be happy. Some cats adapt quickly to another in their house and some take longer. The most important thing in their adjustment is a good introduction, which takes time.
It is very possible for you to get another cat IF you are willing to do a proper introduction.
STEP 1 (2 to 4 days)
Put your new companion in a spare room or bathroom, with his or her own water, food, litter, bedding and toys. Visit your new pet frequently to show love, pet and talk to him or her. During this time, be sure that your original cat receives lots of your attention, more than the new cat! They will use this time to sniff & visit under the door. Both new & original pets will be listening while you visit the other.
STEP 2 (2 to 4 days)
Several times a day over this period, crack the door to the room your new cat or kitten is inhabiting. Stand there supervising and verbally reassuring both parties. There will be some visual contact and they may sniff noses through the narrow opening.
STEP 3 (2 to 4 days)
In this step, you should allow short introductory visits (5 to 15 minutes). Don’t force them together. Allow them to make contact at their own speed, to enter or leave as they choose. If there is a combat, bullying or excessive vocal threatening, then end the visit at once. Return to Step 2 for another day or two. Be especially reassuring to your original cat(s) or kitten(s).
STEP 4 (2 to 4 days)
This is your final step – leave the door open for free exchange as long as there is someone home and awake to listen for any problems that might arise. Break up confrontations promptly! Non-play type, that is. Show love to both in extravagant measure, trying not to show favoritism. Never withhold attention as punishment. | How do you feel about women like Halle Berry getting called the most beautiful black women? She doesn't look remotely black to me. She looks white. Totally white. And when she topped Ebony's poll as the most beautiful black woman, I was pissed off. I mean, of course I was happy for her, but I think that picking a woman who looks completely white as the most beautiful black woman basically sends the message that white people are prettier than black people. And besides all this, I don't even think she's that pretty.
Pic: poponthepop.com/images/gallery/ha… | She doesn't look toyally white and she does look black especially before the nose job but anyway there are many pretty women who are just black.

i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss165… | Is there something wrong with this....? I'm just teed off! My neighbor's cat keeps coming into my yard at night peeing all over the stuff my husband spreads in the driveway to soak up the oil and other wet stuff he spills while making his daily mess doing god-knows-what. Anyway, when I come outside to get the paper I get this whiff of kitty funk that can only be likened to wild cats that live in alleys and eat trash and drink other animals piss. Honestly. I don't know where they got that funky assed cat from, but I don't like that thing. I like cats in general, but not this cat. Ebony is her name. The black cat from the depths of hell is what I call her.
So anyway...
I was so fed up that I sprayed ammonia along our property line to keep this foul feline from marking our yard with her pissy scent. I've already gone thru the trouble of asking her "mommy" to keep her mangy assed cat in her own yard, but that doesn't help. All she says is, "Thats okay. She keeps the mice away. *giggles*"
Well, the sh!t aint funny to me | LOL I doubt the dog would work. I have two dogs each 100 lbs and I have alley cats that come right up to the chain link fence all the time just to tick 'em off LOL.
But, here's what ya do........first, get some white viniger. Dogs and cats both HATE the smell of this stuff with a purple pasion, it also DE-SCENTS urine smells (which is why pet owners use it to clean carpets). This is important for two reasons.....
#1 - Animals return to their own scent to continue marking.
#2 - it will get rid of the smell for you lol
Just get a spray bottle and go to town.
Also, buy one of them motion sensor sprinkers, they will spray a jet of water when something triggers the sensor....just be careful not to set it where guests come in/out ROFL. Or you can set it at night....would have an added benifit of dousing any would be burgalars LOL! | I'm getting sick of white girls coming on to me, i want black girls? As you know i live in Bali and i see countless of white girl especially from Australia coming here daily in their little things or bikini w/e and it really piss me off, they would often try to spend a night or two to sleep with us beach Indonesian boys, but i'm sick of it. I want black women now. This is the situation i'm in.

Should i just get a one way ticket to the Caribbean to see them beautiful ebony queens and never come back to this white polluted tourist place. Would you mind if i do that black men? I bring over some Indonesian girls for you | | Is it THAT hard to tell them you're not interested? Just be flattered and then go on to date black women. | What do you think of this excerpt of my story? This is a small excerpt of my story, tell me what you think. I prefer harsh criticism
P.S. the (i) means the words are in italics and are thoughts.
(i)"Hey!"(i)
"What" I asked shaken from my stupor.
"Um, Sapphire, we didn't say anything," said Bethany a confused look on her face.
(i)"It's me idiot."(i)
Realizing it was Alexis, I quickly excuse myself to go to the bathroom. After Rick has checked it and I'm given the okay, Tony and him post themselves outside the bathroom. Heading to the sink I pause to look in the mirror to check my make- up.
"What do you want?" I say irritably, pissed off that she had make me look like a fool..... again. I knew she did it on purpose just to anger me , but I could never help rising to the bait.
(i)"I've got school tomorrow and its already 9 o'clock."(i) she grumbled as I checked my make-up in the mirror.
"So, like I care," " I almost never get to hang out with my friends. I'm not leaving yet."
(i)"Fine, then I'll just keep nattering away in your head. I wonder what your posse, sorry.. your 'friends' will think of you when they realize there's a whole other you inside your head."(i)
"You, wouldn't dare." I gasp, outraged, my hands falling to either side of the sink as I clench my fists in anger , strongly wishing I could choke the *****.
(i)"You bet I would. I've got a major test tomorrow, and I refuse to fail it just because you want to stay out till midnight with your friends."(i)
Letting out a frustrated groan, but knowing it was a losing battle, I check myself in the mirror one last time and head back to my friends, Rick and Tom at my back like large shadows. To let them know I was leaving .
After saying goodbye amid many protestations that it was too early to leave yet. I head out of the club, and head towards the black sedan that is my personal car. The loud thud of the music fading, as I fold my long legs into the car and close the door. Taking out my phone I check my schedule. The opening and closing of the door lets me know that Rick and Tony have now gotten in the car.
"Miss Sapphire, to where are we headed?" I hear Anthony, my driver ask.
"Head for Central Park." I say as I go through my weekly schedule, making notes here and there to ask my manager Fiona about.
Arriving at the famous park, I head straight to the public washrooms to change with Alexis. Tony and Rick doing their best to protect me from the sudden mob of fans, that recognized me. " Dammit, I should have worn a disguise."
"We'll have to do that next time." says Tony as he is suddenly pushed against me by a particularly devoted fan. "Well at least the press isn't here."
The slow progress to get to the bathroom, starts to wear on my nerves. I adjust the bag on my shoulder, my hands clenching around the strap. Being a celebrity can be tough sometimes, but the perks were so worth it. Finally arriving at the bathroom. I see that it's rather run down. The walls outside have so many words graffitied on them that you can't make out each individual word, and several of the windows are broken. Arriving at the door Tony opens the door and gently pushes me inside, shielding me with his body and quickly follows me inside. Tony and I leave poor Rick outside to keep the mob of fans at bay while Tony checks the bathroom. After making sure no one is in there. He head outside to help Rick with the mob.
Heading to an empty stall I reach up to remove the necklace that is my persona. After removing it and stowing it in the bag I always carry with me I feel the effect of the glamour falling away. My 5' 11" frame starts shrinking to a measly 5' 2". My long blonde hair that I'm famous for changes to longer ebony strands. Soon Adonia emerges. It always takes us a while to switch. | I'm torn between WTF and being very interested. I think your story has potential....but then again I don't know what the **** I just read. I don't really understand what it's about and I think your language is a bit awkward. It's vaguely ok, but I think you need to read it out loud. Something about the clarity, the sense of natural flow is off. Change the writing so that it seems more like your own voice. Also, what the hell is this story about?? Some of it seems a bit pretentious. Her "5'11 frame"?? The fact that she's a celebrity? You can make it work but you don't want to have your readers rolling your eyes do you? Get inside her head. Just because you may idolize the character doesn't mean her life is awesome. I see you doing that in your writing.
My personal opinion is that I want to have a character that I can A) relate to and believe in or B) want to get inside their head and follow them around their life. Even if you take option B, you still need to have a character that is relateable. | What do you think, please? This is a scene in my story. I'm wondering if it makes sense, and if it flows well. I prefer harsh criticism. Thanks :)

After saying goodbye amid many protestations that it was too early to leave yet. I head out of the club and towards the black sedan that is my personal car. Opening the door I slide in say a quick hello to Anthony who was sitting in the drivers seat, while I wait for Tony and Rick get in. After everyone is in I tell Anthony to head to Central Park.
Arriving at the famous park, I went straight to the public washrooms to change with Alexis, but had to wait until Tony says the coast is clear. Getting an approval from him ,I head in leaving Tony and Rick posted outside.

......................................…
Still feeling disoriented from the switch, I sit on the toilet seat for a minute to rest. Looking around and not realizing where I am, I start to panic. " Where is this? "What am I doing here?"
(i)"Calm down Adonia, we're in the public washroom of Central Park." (i)
"Where's that?" I ask feeling a little calmer now that I know that Sapphire is with me.
"I want to go home Sapphire," I whimper scared of this unknown place. The walls around me have strange words written on them, and I appear to be in a metal bathroom of sorts.
All I could think was that there's nothing at all familiar about this place, and that I want to be back at the house with my comfortable bed and familiar surroundings.
But realising that this is one of the rare few chances to see a world that is outside my house I slowly get up from the toilet seat. My legs trembling as I walk to the door of this strange metal bathroom. Opening the door I slowly poke my head out glancing around. "Sapphire, why are there no people in the bathroom. Aren't there suppose to be a lot of people outside."
Sapphire seems to take a minute before she answers me.(i) " Yes, there usually are a lot of people around but we specially made sure that their was no one in here." (i)
"Why would you do something like that?" I ask, confused by her response.
(i)" You might have been too young to remember this but when we first came here, their were some dangerous people that almost hurt us out of fear and excitement." "Remember Mom told us this, when you when you went outside on the day of your fifth birthday and almost got taken by those bad men." (i)
I didn't really remember that, but I knew that Sapphire would never lie to me. " Why are we here?"
Margaret answers me this time (i) " We're here so that you can switch with me." (i)
"Oh" | | I am very sorry, but it doesn't really make sense. If this isn't the beginning of the scene, then it would probably make more sense. If not, I'm totally missing something! You should read it over a few times, the edit it a few times. I'm really sorry about that! | Help,please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… This is a scene in my story.
