Okay, this one's a little long so stick with it if you can. I was gonna promise not to bitch about anything else, but that probably isn't going to happen, given my own human nature. The whole concept of rebates makes me nuts--why not just sell it for less money in the first place? Did you know there are sort of sub-companies that just handle the rebates for other companies?

I enjoyed watching this. I hate dealing with all those rebate forms, too... I know- they should just give you the money upfront instead of making you wait so long, fill out all the stupid forms, etc...
but at least you got the $100 check : )
My new favorite thing is, when you check out at the supermarket and if you have their little shopping card, they say--"You've saved x amount of dollars today!" in a perky little voice. And then I say "Can I have it now?" I usually get a blank stare from the clerk.
what you should do is go to the store with a small billy club, and when they offer you a mail in rebate, just start smashing in the cash register. When you are done, and the cahier is looking at you blankly, just tell her you thought that was a better idea.
Hey j.k.n., I really like your idea and think it could be applied as a solution to many other situations as well! I guess the important thing to remember is not to hit the cashier?
I like your style. Your sense of wit and humor are not unlike my own. I will definitely add this to my RSS reader and I hope you update soon.
Sidenote: Your page looks like you haven't strayed much from the standard Blogger template. I could help you out a little with site design if you are interested. Cheers!
Hey Matthew, thanks for the nice remarks. Looking to post something new real soon! And maybe I'll take you up on that offer to make my site look spiffier, too..Right now I'm struggling to find time to edit and post. Jena

Well, at the end you say you got the rebate offer. Can I take that to mean that you do not actually have the check, and have cashed the check? Can we expect a sequal to this one?
