另一种中秋

另一种中秋

绪蜚

多少年了
随身带的只有这一本
《三百首》
想象唐时月
李白杯中饮尽

清风败荷
皓月桂香

而今夕
异乡月更明
心还有那么皎洁吗

鱼 (诗一首)

鱼 (诗一首)

离水的鱼
执著地朝着水的方向

我本来是
源于好奇
要到另一片绿地
去看个究竟
不料 却搁浅在
这精致的玻璃鱼缸里

Aug 15, the pea sprouts

We put leaves in a compost area.

We also spotted a daddy long leg in the lawn.

In a raised garden bed, we found a toad, camoflauging on top of the soil and under the cardboard cover.

Later, finally before I was about to leave the garden, I found a pea in a corner just sprouted, very cute!

PagePlus Refill: KittyWireless vs PinCheap

I read a lot great information about PagePlus from kittywireless. The web site is not professional looking but it does have the most information about PagePlus prepaid program available in the internet. To show my appreciation, I chose to buy my next refill from kittywireless to at least give a try.

To be honest, the process is rediculously and unnecessarily complicated.

To me, I just wanted to get my PagePlus pin, pay by credit card and get the pin immediately and add it to my PagePlus account.

However, when in kittywireless, I had to do the following:

  • Verify my cell phone number
  • fill out a form with all my contact information along with my credit card info
  • you have to create a user account there
  • I have to provide a landline number so they can verify my address? (never have I done that with other e-commerce web site)
  • e-sign a form to do business with kittywireless (never have I done that with other e-commerce web site)
  • if you are a new customer, they cannot email you the pin
  • after i went through all this, the next day, I got the email saying that my transaction was cancelled because they could not verify my account/address. By the way, I used this credit card for years with any problem with other web sites
  • I wasted all my time creating this account and now I got nothing. That means, I WASTED all my time
Heck, I just wanted to pay my money, get my pin and add it to my account so I can make calls. Kittywireless does not understand e-commerce. When users wants to buy things online, they wanted it as soon as possible.
So here we had pincheap. It allows to do just that, no PagePlus phone number verification, no landline phone requirements(who has landline numbers those days anyway, are you NUTS?), no e-sign with a third-party web site, no…. just pay your bills, pin was shown in web site almost instantly. I then went to pagepluscircular.com and applied my pin and voila, I have my PagePlus account refilled.
Just one small issue with pincheap, they list credit cards as one of the payment methods, howver, the web site could only work with paypal, from my experience with CHrome web browser. By the way, you have to disable pop-up blocking, otherwise payment would not work. (After you log into paypal, you still have the option to pay with a credit card though)
Lastly but most importantly, if you buy PagePlus $80 365-day 2000 minutes pin, kittywireless sells at $80 face value, while pincheap offers it at a discounted $74, which is really NICE!

    Chili’s California turkey sandwich

    This is chili’s $8 combo sandwich in their Lunch menu.

    I took the soup as the side. It is rich creamy , salty, and of course, a bit spicy.

    The sandwich is loaded with turkey, bacon, avocado and lots of veggies.

    By the way. Their door knobs are  cute:

    craftsman 7.0 lawn mower air filter

    My lawn mower cannot start, but if I take the air filter off, it can start perfectly. Now my air filter is saturated with gas or oil?

    So now I am trying to find the craftsman 7.0 lawn mower air filter…

    Not sure if this is the right one:

    Chillis chicken bacon ranch quesadilla

    $7 combo lunch:

    chicken quesadilla with house salad. Even it is ranch salad dressing, it is still spicy. No wonder it is chili’s.

    There are open or relative private seating. Looks like I prefer the latter.

    Even the decorating lamps look spicy as well. 🙂

    image

    It’s cakes with chicken and cheese inside, served warm.

    I like the table decoration as well:
