Zenni Optical’s Customer Service

I called Zenni Optical yesterday, I had read some unfavorable reviews regarding Zenni Optical’s customer service, so I braced myself for the worst.  I set a timer so I could keep track of the time it took for the phone call. At very least, I expected to be talking to someone in a third [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

The Zenni Optical Glasses Order

I’m not sure what to think.  My Zenni Optical order placed April 3rd arrived yesterday, but… well… I think… I hope… that they shipped the wrong glasses.

First off, there are three pair of glasses, which is what we ordered, shown below. I ordered this first pair in “Clear Burgundy”. I ordered this pair [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Arizona’s Raising Our Withholding Taxes

Since I take care of Mr. A’s transaction privilege taxes online, I get a monthly email with reminders, updates and changes to Arizona taxes.  A couple of weeks ago, an additional one came through stating that Senate Bill 1185 had been approved and our withholding will be increased beginning May 1, 2009.

April Garden Update

My garden is doing so wonderfully! I planted sunflower seeds about ten days ago and eight of them have come up. I’m hoping to see one more pop out. They are the gigantic sunflowers so they have to be planted eighteen inches apart. I was sick on Wednesday (food poisoning) and am still feeling [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Owe Taxes and Didn’t File An Extension?

Whooo boy… one of my coworkers is in this boat. He had someone come into his house and help him get his home organized, and this included filing his paperwork.  On April 15th he discovered he didn’t know where the person filed his tax information!  The person was in Oregon and didn’t remember filing [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
