georgia girl 35 Posted July 18, 2008 I have TOTALLY missed something here I think! But I bought Australian size 11 jeans today so I'll just think about that instead.... Me too, lol! I have no idea what is going on... Anyway, congrats on the jeans! That's wonderful! Can't wait to get where you are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pix 4 Posted July 18, 2008 This is funny, I take my quilts and blankets in every 6months to get laundered (I wash them at home, but I take them ALL in every 6 months) and found out here on the military base they are starting to offer a laundry service. I pay 80cents a lb off base (min 10lbs, all my quilts and blankets total almost 20 so I make the weight) Welp here on base they want to charge 2.40 per lb!!!! I was like WTH, and when I talked to them about it they said they can't/wont match the cleaners off base and if I wanted them to do it I had to pay 2.40. Yeah, I left and told them to forget it, I will drive the extra 1/2 mile and pay .80, needless to say she wasn't happy AT ALL. and posting to post ...

losingjusme 12 Posted July 18, 2008 thats just crazy, pix. that's a huge difference. i dont blame you for driving the 1/2 mile!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pix 4 Posted July 18, 2008 I know its insane, I couldn't believe they wouldn't even try to match the cleaners off base. Most places (even the base exchange) will match or beat prices off base because they don't want to lose you as a customer. Ah well, I like the guy that runs the cleaners off base, he is friggin hilarious as hell. Retired from the Army after almost 30 years in. He likes to play up not being able to speak english and likes messing with the kids that come in pretending to speak broken english. His dictation is beyond perfect but he likes to mess with the lil gang banger wannabe's. (He came to the US from Korea when he was a kid fleeing the war with his parents) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeliciaLevy75 0 Posted July 18, 2008 OK, been a while since I read up. Short of rehasing it all.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Just had to get that out of my system. My assistant walked in and I was laughing so hard, she turned on her heel and walked out. :thumbdown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
