Is your mail order experience breeding Bolsheviks?

What's a Bolshevik, you ask? Layers of allusion to the Communist revolution of 1917 in Russia and to commercial propaganda in the US.

Allusion to Scott paper company campaign "Is your washroom breeding Bolsheviks?" Use your search engines to find the images because RantWoman has no patience to care about actual usage rights.

Back to RantWoman and mail order. RantWoman has had several vexing efforts to spend money recently.

--There was a clothing order to a company RantWoman orders from about twice a year, in a transaction amount typical of RantWoman's usual order. Somehow RantWoman's bank decided the transaction should not go through. RantWoman is annoyed on multiple grounds. RantWoman has not made it back to the site and probably is going to have to go through all the work of picking her desired items all over again. Did RantWoman say she is annoyed.?

--Pens. RantWoman needs specialized pens, extra bold, with ink that does not bleed through paper. RantWoman's preferred brand just quit making the pens RantWoman preferred. RantWoman has had to COPE with an inferior product by mail order, or sundry unsuitable products of local store shelves. Hence the pens in the picture!

--RantWoman needed a 2018 calendar. RantWoman's favorite Office supply store downtown closed. RantWoman was VERY glad reliably to find calendars that met her specifications, week at a glance with the day sections horizontal and enough contrast in the printing that RantWoman can tell the days apart. RantWoman has been dreading the thought of mail order or letting her fingers do the walking to other locations where she might shop in person. No More! Yesterday RantWoman found a BlueSky brand 2018 calendar.What passes for bliss around RantWoman today.


Ahhh, but lest RantWoman become too contented, the universe brought still more vexations.

RantWoman got her new Blue Sky calendar at a new pharmacy chain on the ave. RantWoman dutifully consented to sign up for email. RantWoman even GOT email.

RantWoman got ...drum roll please....a SURVEY. A survey that asked RantWoman to input some 17-character code off RantWoman's sales receipt. Sorry! Sometimes RantWoman will make the effort and a chance to win $1000 might theoretically be a motivator. But the survey also was not behaving well with RantWoman's screen reader. Something got restarted once but RantWoman does not have enough patience to troubleshoot. Bleah!
