Is the story about the woman who called 911 after being told her local McDonald's was out of McNuggets and couldn't get her money back - read the whole story here. The story mentioned the price of a 10 piece McNuggets is $3.49
Ok, here is where a lot of people can learn a McNugget lesson if you just think a little and do the math. If you want 10 McNuggets, buy THREE 4-piece from the dollar menu. (The majority of the McDonald's I've been to have a 4 piece on the dollar menu). And you will get 12 McNuggets and only pay $3. Not $3.49. You can always throw away the extra 2 McNuggets if you are on a strict 10 McNugget diet.

Today I took a lot of stuff to Play N Trade and got a $65 store credit. I took about a third of what I have to get rid of. I still have several Gameboy Color games and a lot of original Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Atari games to trade in. I am keeping our Super Nintendo and a few of the games that Jacob played. I have a lot of Super Nintendo games that Jacob never wanted to play - all bought at yardsales of course. Tonight I am going to list on eBay two Pokemon Gameboy items that I think will sell pretty good. I don't want to deal with listing all the old Atari and Nintendo stuff - too much work. If you don't sell on eBay, you don't realize all the work involved - taking pictures of the stuff, writing up the descriptions, packing up the stuff to mail, going to the Post Office, etc.
I thought we were going to get Jacob a Nintendo DS for his birthday but DH thinks a portable handheld PSP would be better for him. So whatever, doesn't really matter to me.

Tomorrow I have two phone interviews. The one I started earlier in the week and the second is a radio interview for station in Vermont. Thankfully, they are taping it, and then editing it so I don't sound like a total idiot. Radio interviews give me the willies. Especially when they are "live". The time I did a live radio interview with Heloise - the Heloise Hint's lady - I consumed an adult beverage beforehand to steel my nerves. Then forgot to tell people to visit www.yardsalequeen.com

You always make me laugh.. I love that.. "if your on a strict 10 mcnugget diet"
I agree Ebay is a lot of work.. I hate listing stuff.. takes forrrreeevvveerrr..
That was so silly of that woman to call 911 INSAINE! How hard would it have been to ask for a refund?? I guess she could not figure that one out.
When I was listeing to the news here the other night they said a man called 911 weeks earlier to report a similar problem with a fast food place. Of course he was arrested for mis-use of 911 also. What is wrong with people?
The lady did ask for a refund and the cashier refused to give her one but instead wanted her to pick something off the menu in place of the Mcnuggets. Not that this warranted a call to 911 for any means, but McDonalds did acknowledge their mistake about not issuing a refund.
I'm guilty of not doing the math (I hate math and am terrible at it) but from now on, I will be ordering the 3 4pc nuggets.
