This Is Gonna Cost You!

Today I took Ashton to FRA to get her new laptop, and the nice people at the help desk gave me back my Dell that they had recovered the hard drive from. It was covered with mud and muck from my flooded home. Unfortunately, the awful smell brought back BAD and VIVID memories. I had to get it out of my car ASAP. I was tempted to throw it away, but decided to recycle it, if I could find a place VERY close by. Addie ran into Office Depot, and they told her they would recycle it for $5.00!!!! When she took them the $5.00, they wanted $0.46 in tax! Seriously????? There was a trash can right outside the door, and I am telling you, it was VERY tempting, but Addie's puppy dog eyes won, and I gave them the money. The lesson learned: Try to do the right thing, and they'll kick you while you're down! This flood is costing me more money every day!
