Rant Thread-Tell 'em off Thread

I very much dislike North Dakota.

Among the hundreds of other issues I have with this state, I've been trying to find fresh salmon and cannot. There are only two different grocery stores in my town, and only one of them has a fresh meat/fresh fish/butcher counter. The one that does has some very sad offerings. I may be forced to order fresh fish online, which would be very expensive.

I want so badly to get out of this state.

I sympathize: I don;t like the whole area we live in, our neighborhood or our house; but my huzz loves it here and refuses to move.
 
I was so irritated the other day. I actually splurged, to the tune of $113, on some fresh flowers to be delivered to my daughter, in another city, because her twins were born 5 weeks early. I almost never buy fresh flowers—usually just for funerals—because they're ridiculously expensive, and money is tight. But I wanted to do this given that the babies are both in the NICU, and I of course love my daughter and her husband and wanted to brighten their day (even though they're not down; they're ecstatic about the birth, and the babies are doing well).

Well, the darn arrangement never arrived! I got a confirmation from FTD, and I don't know what happened. I spoke with someone at the hospital's front desk and someone at the nurse's station on the floor, and nobody had seen them at all. I got back on the phone with FTD and insisted on a refund, which they said they issued. (I'll be checking my bank balance to make sure.)

The strange thing is, her mother-in-law also sent flowers, and they didn't arrive, either! I don't know who dropped the ball here: the local florist(s) or the hospital. It was very disappointing, though. Not the end of the world, or even very important in the overall scheme of things, but disappointing.

That is disappointing. Some flowers that friends of ours tried to send for Huzz's mother's funeral never made it; they were so aggravated. You wonder what goes on sometimes, especially with your daughter's MIL's not getting there either.
