My Rebate Rage is alive and well. I wrote earlier in this blog that although I always fill out rebate forms properly, the submission always seems to be declared invalid. The latest case is a DVD set I bought at f.y.e. with the promise of a $20 rebate. Yesterday I got an e-mail saying that my form was invalid because the clerk had given me a form that was coded for a Wii and I should go back to the store for the proper rebate slip. Yeah, right. Then the rebate sadists would tell me that I had been given the form for a robotic dinosaur or something. So I got my money back. I have read that it does no good to write to a store to say you will never shop there again. Instead, I just won't shop there again. And I'm never applying for another rebate again. Absolutely not. Well, probably not. Well, maybe not.

Answer to Tuesday's puzzlement: The blind beggar was the sister of her brother, who died.

Unsolicited testimonial: My favorite newsmagazine is The Week, because it does what Time originally set out to do: provide a lively summary of the past week's news.

You know what's boring (besides this blog)? Insomnia is boring. Fortunately, I don't have it much anymore, but I can sympathize with those who spend never-ending nights of staring at the ceiling.
