Missed it by *that* much...

And props to anyone who knows what character that's attributed to!


So I sat down at the 'puter to place an order after a long evening out. Next thing I know, the dogs decide they need to go out, and the water in their dish isn't fresh enough, and even though there is food in the bowls they would really like to be fed... Okay, yes they are spoiled, but have you ever thought of what a dog's life entails? I mean, no internet, TV doesn't seem to hold their interest for long, they sleep, they eat, occasionally the teenager makes an old blanket look like swiss cheese. They don't even have opposable thumbs, I know I'd certainly get bored!

Anyway, I finally get back to my order, log in to complete it and add the mayflowers discount. Hit the submit button aaaand, IT pops up, in a creme colored box on all that black; Coupon code "mayflowers" is not valid. The coupon expired on 4/30/2010. I look over at the clock on the desktop and it's 12:00 am and 1, yes, one second!!! I just sat there staring at it for the longest time... figure I can submit any time this weekend now.

I swear, those dogs are not getting treats before bed tonight!

Try it again Storm, he reapplied it...and that's Maxwell Smart

Hmmm odd. I placed an order using the mayflowers code not 10 minutes ago and had no problems. Time zone difference maybe?

Lol Thank you and Kudos Rou!


Edit: Worked! And a flowery thank you to V4L!

I think I may have just caught it between the expiration and the reapplication toad. I'm good at doing things like that.

Doggies get treats now?

ROFL Like I would have denied them in the first place. All they have to do is look up at me with those big, sad eyes... well, at least all of them but the schnauzer, and you can't see her eyes cause I keep putting off trimming her eyebrows.

BTW ArdentHope, I keep meaning to tell you, I adore your avatar!

 

[Adrenalynn]

I know, right? I can't look at it without thinking the accompanying "BAM!" sound.

YEAH for the doggies!!!!!! YEAH for Kung Fu Kitty!!!! I'm happy that you were able to get the discount! Discounts = warm fuzzies

 

[Sherrick]

You were sitting in the "cone of silence" so they couldn't hear your shout for the discount.

For me it's more the "Ki-Ya!" exclamation, but I know exactly what you mean!


Discounts definitely equal warm fuzzies ArdentHope, especially when it's V4L discounts. I got a new, purple XL battery coming next week, along with some restocked 5ml samplers I've been wanting to try!

Well Maxwell Smart may like those doggies but I got told by Agent 6 and 7/8 (props to anyone who gets that more obscure reference) thinks my cats have it even worse. They don't make blankets look like Swiss cheese and to make it even worse sometimes the sun isn't out so doesn't make warm spots to catnap on
