Babies R Us Complaints – Problems With Babies R Us Registry?

Posted by on March 30, 2009 · 18 Comments


FREE stuff for the coming baby!Have you been having problems with the Babies R Us Baby Registry? My daughter is registered at Babies R Us, and I’ve already bought several items online from her baby registry at Babies R Us, for the baby shower planned for next month.

My biggest complaint about Babies R Us is that the items I purchased continued to show up on the baby registry as not having been bought, even though I received shipping and tracking information when the registry items were shipped, and even after I’d received the baby products ordered.

The reason why baby registries are so popular is to avoid receiving duplicates, but given the numerous problems people have had with Babies R Us, I’m convinced there will be duplicates and problems returning or exchanging the duplicate items.

Once I received the baby products I ordered, I checked the registry to see what else I might want to buy, since we’ve only purchased a minimal amount of baby furniture and other baby supplies so far. The Babies R Us registry showed everything I had bought and received from the registry as not yet purchased and still needed, including the total quantity of each item wanted on the baby registry!

I called Babies R Us to tell them about the problem with the baby registry not updating properly, and the person I spoke to at Babies R Us told me they’ve been “having a lot of problems with the online database updating purchases made online”.

Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson Sing “You’re The One For Me” on American Idol

Posted by on March 28, 2009

joss-stoneDid you see Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson sing “You’re The One For Me” on American Idol Thursday, March 26th? Many online reviews of Joss Stone and Smokey Robinson’s performance on American Idol say the duet was “weird” and even “creepy”, due mostly to the age difference and the lack of chemistry. Good grief people, it’s just a duet performance like any other duet, not real life.

I’ve been a huge fan of Smokey Robinson for many years now, and even though Smokey is 69 years old, Smokey’s vocal ability has been consistently smooth throughout all the years he’s been singing. Smokey Robinson now has two well-deserved stars representing him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for his amazing career as a solo artist, and a second star for his contribution as lead singer of the infamous Motown group, The Miracles.

If you missed watching Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone perform “You’re The One For Me” on American Idol, or if you just want to watch it again online, you can see the full performance YouTube video at the American Idol Fan Site as many times as you like.

Robinson and his former backup group were recently honored in a “50 Years of Motown” 50th Anniversary celebration, that included Motown greats Stevie Wonder and Mary Wilson of the original Supremes, as well as Motown founder Berry Gordy. “I’ve had a star for the last 20 years or so, and it is way, way, way, way overdue” for The Miracles, Robinson told the gathered crowd, according to the Associated Press.

GoFish Guys Mom Song by Go Fish – Best Mom Songs for Mom

Posted by on March 24, 2009

gofish-guysHave you heard about GoFish? How about the Mom Song by the Go Fish Guys? GoFish is a Christian singing group of three guys, Jamie Statema (founder of GoFish), Jason Folkmann and Andy Selness. GoFish, also known as the Go Fish Guys, started out as an a cappella group founded in 1993, using nothing but vocals and percussion.

GoFish became branded as “a cappella with an attitude”, whose songs include the Mom Song, Christmas With a Capital C, American Kid, Superstar and many others. The GoFish website, www.gofishguys.com, is labeled as “Go Fish – Great Music For Kids That Won’t Drive Parents Bonkers!!”, which was enough to cause me to spend some time on the GoFish site and check out Jamie’s Go Fish Guy blog at www.gofishguy.typepad.com. Jamie must be a very cool guy, considering the fact that his blog logo includes my favorite Dr. Seuss quote “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” which is my personal motto in life.

“Party Like a Preschooler” by the Go Fish Guys is a best-selling album collection of 11 songs kids love and won’t drive parents bonkers, and there’s even a bonus track for dads, “It’s hard to be cool (in a mini-van)!” This “Party” album contains song titles including “Do Your Ears Hang Low”, “The Wheels on the Bus”, “Pop Goes the Weasel”, “5 Little Monkeys”, “The A,B,C’s”, “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt”, “The Cow and The Peanut” and other kid songs moms and dads will enjoy just as much as kids do.

Dear IRS Letter to the Editor of Wichita Falls Texas Times to the I.R.S.

Posted by on March 21, 2009

This “Dear IRS” letter is an actual letter written to the IRS by Ed Barnett of Wichita Falls, Texas, by way of the “Letter to the Editor” of the Wichita Falls, Texas, Times Record Newspaper and I couldn’t help but share this funny letter. I know the I.R.S. has to do their job making sure we all pay our taxes, and chase down those who skip paying their taxes, but we also know there are those who don’t pay their taxes and get away with it.

Taxed to Excess

Dear IRS,

I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to pay taxes owed April 15, but all is not lost.

I have paid these taxes: accounts receivable tax, building permit tax, CDL tax, cigarette tax, corporate income tax, dog licence tax, federal income tax, unemployment tax, gasoline tax, hunting licence tax, fishing licence tax, waterfowl stamp tax, inheritance tax, inventory tax, liquor tax, luxury tax, medicare tax, city, school and county property tax (up 33 percent last 4 years), real estate tax, social security tax, road usage tax, toll road tax, state and city sales tax, recreational vehicle tax, state franchise tax, state unemployment tax, telephone federal excise tax, telephone federal state and local surcharge tax, telephone minimum usage surcharge tax, telephone state and local tax, utility tax, vehicle licence registration tax, capitol gains tax, lease severance tax, oil and gas assessment tax, Colorado property tax, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico sales tax, and many more that I can’t recall but I have run out of space and money.

When you do not receive my check April 15, just know that it is an honest mistake. Please treat me the same way you treated Congressmen Charles Rangle, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and ex-Congressman Tom Dashelle and, of course, your boss Timothy Geithner. No penalties and no interest.

P.S. I will make at least a partial payment as soon as I get my stimulus check.

Ed Barnett

Wichita Falls
