Trying something new

I'm trying out a new blog over at BlogCharm. If you'd like to check it out, follow the yellow brick road....uh, I mean link. About the same content at this blog but with a little different look.

Let's hear it for...extended warranties!

About 3 weeks ago I turned on my CD player to listen to a little music at bedtime. Expecting to hear the dulcet tones of Don Henley, I was quite displeased to hear "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" instead. WTF??? Okay, maybe it's the CD. Let's try another one "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" again. After trying all 5 CDs in the changer (I'm nothing if not persistant) and getting only "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" on all of them, I finally come to the conclusion the damn thing's busted. CRAP! So, after being totally pissy, I decided to check my warranty just to see how screwed I was. Well, what do ya know! Seems I actually bought an extended product replacement warranty! And, wonder of wonders, it doesn't expire for 2 more weeks. Woo hoo! So after getting on the Best Buy website and getting the return authorization, I boxed that bad boy up and took it to the post office (postage was prepaid too!), then sat back and impatiently awaited my replacement voucher. Really, the whole process was quite painless. It took about two weeks to get the voucher (actually a Best Buy gift card for $104.98) and I was off to Best Buy to get another player. They didn't have one exactly like the previous one but I did find one I liked. This one still has AM/FM radio, casette player and 5 CD changer but is about half the size of the monster one I had. It was a little more expensive and with the extended warranty, it cost me about $60.00. Not too bad really. I'm just tickled pink to have my music back!
