                          Its Friday the 13th

   Well its happened once again. last Friday I was feeling weak and out of breath. So I went to the Wentworth Douglas Hospital in Dover N.H. I think the exact date was 3/08/2009. While in my room the first night they brought another man in with ashma. He and I caughed most of the night in good harmony, he was getting worse by the minute and around 6 AM outside our room was the nurses station and they were having a meeting with the changing of the shift. There were about 20 people in attendance. The man next to me was ringing his nurses call button for about 10 minutes, with no responce. So I went to the nurses station and told them the man was having severe breathing problems. The answer was they would be in shortly. The coughing and choking are getting worse, I went to the nurses station and told them for the second time that he was in serious trouble. All of a sudden all of the people from the meeting are in our little room. Mass confusion.

 One of the first things they said was where is the respirator team. After about 10 minutes of looking for the respirator team, I said did you check the cafeteria? i dont think they liked that remark one bit. The respirator team was never found, then they start frantically looking for a respirator. I told them he had an inhaler in his draw but the hospital told him not to use it. Out came the inhaler and everything calmed dowm. Then the nurses finally came in with the respirator mask and all was good shortly

 Well my finger is getting sore again. Come back tomorrow and hear the rest of my story about my stay at the Wentworth Douglas Hospital. It gets better.

 Does anybody out there have something they want to say

                      My last blog was about Burnham Boilers and the trouble I am having. I said this before but whatever you do read the reviews before you buy.

                      Well my replacement boiler came in today. Now i have a V7 Burnham boiler and I recieved a V8 boiler so I called Burnham and told them about there mistake. According to them its no mistake, they no longer make the V7 so they sent me the updated V8. Come to find out the V8 is going to take some extra piping. The installation of the boiler and added piping is going to cost $1500.00. Something wrong here. So Im trying to find a lawyer to fight this. What do you think will happen? Ill keep you informed of my progress.

           Come on people Im not the only one with these problems. Lets hear some of yours. This is a good place to vent your frustrations and get it off your chest.

Feb. 20 2009

                        It must be me, I have all the luck. does anybody else have anything to complain about. Let me tell you about my latest adventure. Burnham boilers. As you have probably guessed I have one. Feb 17,2009 my boiler started leaking after 9 years. I didnt know much about boilers so I looked in my instruction manual and kinda get the impression it might be under warantee. I called customer service at Burnham, they said I had to call one of there contractors and they would come out and look at the problem and make an evaluation. So I called the contractor and told the secretary my problem, she said somebody would get right back to me. Mind you Im in Maine with no heat and hot water. Well anyway nobody calls back so I called again. This time Kevin will get right back to me. Nobody calls back. Nobody in the office till tomorrow. I decide to go to Home Depot and see if they have something. I bought some boiler sealer and all you have to do is remove the relief valve pour the sealer in and your all set. When I releast the relief valve water went every where. So now i dont Know what to do for tonight. The next day the contractor calls me and tells me the facxtory rep has to look at it first and hes on vacation till Tuesday, this is Thursday morning I call bernham back and they tell me the rep doesnt have to look at it. Now Im really steaming, so I call my oil man and he says he can get a new boiler from Burnham free of charge including shipping.  My house is pretty cold by now, so I called my homeowner insurance (Liberty Mutual) and she says they have to send out an adjuster. All I want to know is if the problem is covered . It cost money to send somebody out to see if Im covered. Well any way hes still not here. So I drain all the water out of the house and put the Home Depot sealer in the boiler and turn the water back on and start the boiler and low and behold no leak. Do you think I can tell my oil man to keep the new boiler when it comes in Wednesday and save it for me. When my boiler goes again he can install it then. Nobody knows I have heat and hot water. If you read the reviews on Burnham Boilers this happens every 7 to 10 years reguarly. Why dont they correct the problem? According to my oil man this happens all the time. If you have any answers or have had this problem please let me know.

As i said before I recieved my refund from Worms Wrangler after a long hassle.
Sandelwood ent, Howdy and Worms Wrangler are all 1 company i think. Worms Wrangler makes you dealer, some guy named Steve, then you buy wholesale thru Sandlewood ent, Wholesale, you can buy cheaper Red Worms over the internet. They cant even ship the worms half of the time. They say they sell Guasanito worm factorys.made in the US. They are made in China. If you get them in the cold and drop it, it shatters like glass. You can always buy replacement parts.
I need to hear from you about these people, so we can stop them.
Does anybody have anything to say about

As I mentioned i finally recieved my refund from Worms Wrangler ( Howdy and Sandelwood Ent) after a long hard battle. I still find it hard to believe that a company that size runs out of worms and leaves you hanging.
Im still waiting on the return shipping label from Eden Pure Heaters;. Thats been about a week. Believe it or not, somebody called me Friday from Eden Pure to find out how I liked the heater. You can guess my reply. I feel sorry for those people like that, that call and have know idea what is going on.
That should bring you up to date. Now let me tell you some of the other tricks. A company, Homestead and Doba and more will give you a free trial. They ask for a credit card just in case you keep it. Anytime during that 30days you decide to cancel and you call them to cancel, nobody answers the phone. This runs you over your 30 days so they can bill you. If your lucky you only get one bill. Doba gets 3or 4. The only thing you can do is cancel that credit card or bank account I cancelled doba the same night I applied and didnt get a cancellation until they got $150.00 out of my account. No wonder they are the largest drop shipping company in the world. I could be the second largest in the world at $150.00 for doing nothing per person. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIGN UP FOR MY COMPANY JUST GIVE ME AUTHORIZATION TO GO INTO YOUR CREDIT CARD OR CHECKING ACCOUNT.
I still havent heard anybody elses complaints. Come on speek up dont be afraid.

More about my troubles with Worms Wrangler, its not over yet. Today is Sunday and I still havent got my refund. Steve said he would release the money Friday, which in itself was unexceptable. Here it is Sunday and still no money. Steve said he released the money Friday and its still not in my account.
A company like Worms Wrangler or Howdy or Sandelwood Enterprises, whatever the name is cant refund $102.00 and ship 5lbs of red worms. Something wrong with that picture.
You can buy those worms for $84.00. I just thought I would try them out. Next thing I know Im in this mess.
Why would a legitimate company need three names?
What else can I do to get my money back.
Worms Wrangler (Steve) said I should go to Pay Pal and see where my refund was. Why should I? When its there responsibilty to see that I get my refund.
I wish there was something I could do. I cant file a complaint with Ebay because it was bought thru there website. All I can do is try and tell people to stay away from people like this. Thats the reason for this blog, I cant do it all alone, but if I just put this on every piece of mail,email listing I do, it will hurt them a little.
I need some more people to join in and tell everybodt who did what to them. I think we can do a lot of harm if there are enough of us.
So please tell me some of your horror stories.

I had another interesting experiance with one of our so called ” Power Sellers” , Worms Wrangler. It all started about a month ago, I was looking for a company to buy worms from when I ran out. After listening to all there crap, I decided to try them. They made me a Guasanito dealer right away. About a week ago i needed some worms,so I placed an order for 5 pounds. Three days later I get an email saying they werent going to ship until some time in February.I canceled the order that day because I couldnt wait. Then I had to request a refund And was told I would not get my refund till this Friday. I cant understand why I have to wait when they got there money from me right away.
Meanwhile I have lost a couple of customers and some orders now and in the future. Suppose I had them drop ship those worms to my customers. They would hit the roof, when they got there worms the middle of February. Thats why i didnt have them drop ship. Well I still havent got my refund.
Im going to add Worms Wrangler to my list of crooks. The list will be quite long in a couple of months.
If youve had a problem with Worms Wrangler or anybody else please let us know. This is the only way I can think of to get rid of these guys. That is if we all stick together and warn everybody. Maybe we can save some people some money and get rid of these crooks. The internet is so full of scams right now. You are afraid to open your Email. This has got to stop or slow down. Can you see the internet in 10 years if this keeps up?
Well the finger is sore again. The madder I get, the harder I press.
Again if you have something to say about this, including Worms Wrangler and the rest of them,say it.
Check back often for my updated list ofpeople to stay away from. I would say check back here before you buy anything. Im looking for new COMPLAINTS everyday.

Today my complaint is about buying worms for composting and fishing. Why do worm farmers sell there worms by the pound? Because it is a lot easier and takes a lot less labor. They just pull out the worms and put them on a scale and tell you thats a pound. How can you tell.with the castings and all mixed in. They say there is about 600-800 red wriglers to a pound. Ive bought some worms that should have been 2000 worms to the pound. So I recommend, before you buy find a farmer that sells you 200 if you order 200. When you buy like this, if you have any doubts, you can always count them.
Why do they ship the worms dry? Because its a lot lighter and saves on shipping. If you find a Worm Farmer that ships in castings, you and your worms will be a lot better off. The castings are natural to them and contain moisture which they need badly. Plus you will get some starter bedding. The worms were born and raised in castings, why put them in some dry powderery stuff. Worms need moisture as every body knows.
Well my finger is getting sore again.

One more thing does any body have any complaits about.

Today is sunny and 30 degrees, We are supposeto get some melting today.
Today is one of my bad days. I would like to have this blog where everybody who gets a lemon, can complain about it here. Do you have any complaints ?
My gripe for today is Eden Pure heaters I made one serious mistake before I purchased the heater, I didnt check the reviews. If you go on the internet and type in Edin Pure heaters you can read the reviews. Id say out of about 50 people that purchised this heater two of them had something good to say about the heater. Thats my own fault.
I had heard people say the heater was great and if you listen to Paul Harvey he swears by it. So I laid out my $400.00 and sent for the heater. It arrived in good time. Iset it up according to the directions and it work pretty good in our living, saving on oil as stated. Well when I got the electric bill after 3 weeks. It had almost doubled. Then the following week it stopped working and I begin to finally check into this heater. Thats when I read the reviews. It makes you wonder why these people are still in business.
I called customer service and got the run around as they say in the reviews. Finally I got to talked to somebody in customer service and they said they had to have it in there hands before the thirty days are up. Well this is about the 26th day. so I rush and get it down to the Post Office and trhey want $76.00 to ship it. No way! I would have been charged $76.00 to ship it back and if they didnt get in time I would have to pay for parts.
I took it home and before I took it to the dump I decided what the heck may be I can fix it. Let me tell you after taken out 52 screws and still not being in there I quit. Somebody doesnt want you to get inside that heater.
When I was working I was an electrician, i fiqured maybe a fuse. But no fuse or reset button. I think this is against the law, what happens if the heater overheats with no fuse? Fire
Before I take it to the dump I will get inside of the heater.

If you decide to get inside your heater be carefull, very sharp sheet metal.
Does anybody out there have any to say about Eden Pure Heaters?

FEED YOUR WORMS AND STARVE THE LANDFILL

January 10, 2009
Its still snowing and very cold, !5 Degress F.

This is not an internet story but it is one of deep concern.
I went to wally world to pick up my medication yesterday and upon returning home I looked at the manufacturer of this medication and it was manufactured in Canada and shipped to New Jersey for distibution. This really takes the cake.
We as individuals cannot buy Canadian medication because it is not as safe as ours. less inspection, less standards. Large corporation can bring the cheaper medication down from Canada and put a large markup on it and resell in the U.S.
Did you know that the government ( VA ) cannot negotiate with the drug manufacters for better pricing on drugs they provide to veterens. Wally Wal Mart can do all the negotiating they want and get the price down to $4.00. I am a vet and should get my medication from the VA. The Va told me to get my medication from Wal Mart its cheaper. Know wonder our drugs are so expensive. Does this make any sence? Any thoughts on this subject? I only hope Obama can straighten this mess out, although I doubt it very much.

STARVE THE LANDFILL AND FEED YOUR WORMS THIS IN TURN REDUCES THE RELEASE OF METHANE GAS FROM THE LANDFILL
