RAVENSGATE KEEP REALM OF MYSTERY
FEBRUARY 2003 RANTS AND RAVES
NOTE:
Anyone who vexes my husband, children, and my friends, vexes me and, trust me, you do not want to vex me!
If anything untoward is directed toward my husband, children, and my friends, you will answer to me. Seriously…You do not want that to happen.
This is a RAVE for the music of John Williams! Hear, Hear!!! He makes some intriguing sounds, and has incredible talent for music. He also is proliferous in his music-making. You should check into is music on the Internet search engines.
This is really bitchy, but needs to be said. If you saw the movie, A Knight’s Tale, you might recall what ‘Chaucer’ said to his tormentors. It went something like this, You can torment me for a day, but I can/will eviscerate (stab) you for an eternity with my words. So with that said, let me explain.
For most of our married life, my husband and I have owned our own homes. However, when we went overseas as International Service Employee with his company, we were forced to rent from landlords. The real estate lady that helped us warned us that South African landlords are notoriously lousy. That turned out to be an understatement. So without much ado and because this woman was truly a bitch, I am going to present her housekeeping skills on this page. Actually, I’m going to make a special page.
Our first landlady was Karen Olver. She thought it was okay to just toss some “bits and bobs” (as the realtor called them) of our things away instead of giving them to the realtor. The movers (more on them later) screwed up and left a few items at the rental house. At first, she (Olver) said she would give them to our realtor, but then decided to just trash them. By the way, she knew where we lived. We only moved a couple of blocks away in Fourways Gardens, SA. She could have simply dropped them off at our house. She trashed them instead, SO. . . this is how Karen Olver keeps house. The first picture will show the cleaners cleaning the drapery in the master bedroom. The second picture will show the difference in the cleaned (white) area of the drape and the dark (DIRTY) area. Disgusting, isn’t it?
Karen and Nialls Olver now live in Switzerland.
Mims of World of Interiors is one of the creatures who inhabits my Dungeon.
Dungeon
Why, you might ask? Because she did an evil thing. We purchased a Genf massage chair from World of Interiors in South Africa on 23 December 2000. It came with a 24 months guarantee. On December 4, 2002, I phoned her to tell her our chair needed servicing and informed her that the guarantee said we had until December 23rd for it to be repaired at the manufacturer’s cost. She was supposed to phone me back with details of the manufacturer because she said they could not help us from SA. We live in Poland now, but the chair was supposedly built in Germany which is basically ‘next door’ to Poland. Of course, the guarantee did not SAY that it could not be serviced from anywhere but South Africa, so it should have been binding in Poland. I tried several times to phone her, but I believe most heartily that our phone number was blocked. Either that or no one ever answers the telephone at World of Interiors. I tried several times for several days. Anyway, our guarantee has now lapsed because it is, of course, past the deadline. It’s as if we have been robbed.
We will have to pay for the repairs ourselves, but we will certainly warn anyone who may entertain the idea of doing business with World of Interiors. This isn’t the first time I had problems with these people. If you have anymore questions or need anymore information, please email me. Meanwhile, Mims goes into my dungeon because she acted in a very deceptive and uncooperative manner. You might want to read this before purchasing a Genf Massage Recliner Chair as the obviously do not own up to their guarantees. Not only that, but they make it nearly impossible to be gotten hold of when repairs are needed! I STILL can’t find a contact number for this merchant. I’ve even tried the Internet and Goolge Search engine. Actually, I ventured there between the time I phoned Mims for the information and when the guarantee expired. No luck. They simply did not provide the necessary information or contact for repairs. Think twice about purchasing anything by Genf!
I don’t know who penned the next two sayings, but I like them and wanted to share them with you.
Someone to love,
Some work to do,
A bit of o’ sun
A bit o’ cheer
And a Guardian Angel
Always near.
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now
And bless you evermore.
