How To Make a Cookie Salty
I ate brunch at Teaism in Dupont on Sunday. Not quite as heart-warming as homemade bacon and eggs, but the chai is phenomenal. I spotted this poster in the window of the store and thought it was humourous.
Back to the title, how 'does' one make a Cookie salty? 99% of the time, this Cookie drips with ooey-gooey, sugary sweetness and smiles. It takes a LOT to make my temper flare. Remember, I'm powdered with an ESFJ conflict aversion and spiced with the desire to make everybody happy. But it's possible to make me angry. How? Be Sears. Maintain an appliance repair power over me to fix the household dryer that has been busted for 2 weeks, and dangle that knowledge in front of my face like a 3rd-grader singing 'nana nana boo boo, whatcha gonna do about it?' You know I can't call another contracter, the bitch-ass machine is under warranty, so you just make me sweat it out. Finally grace me with an appointment where I have to miss a morning of work, but still be up and waiting by the door at 8am for the omnipotent serviceman to arrive when he pleases. Then, don't show up. Then tell me the appointment was never in the books. Oh yes, that will put a frown on Cookie's face and brown her edges. But if you'd really like to see her burn, tell her she can't get an appointment for another week and a half.

Poor phone-service lady. She didn't even see it coming.

The phone service people always must get the brunt of it!
You could turn it into a bad maytag commercial!!

I WISH my dryer were a Maytag right now...

How sweet would it be to have Gordon Jump repairing your dryer right now?
For an added bonus, he might even try and molest you as he tried to do to Dudley on Diff'rent Strokes.

...and he could do so while sporting his horrific fake Irish accent from his days as Maggie Seaver's dad on Growing Pains. He really hated Jason, hoo hoo boy!

But you are a scorpio. And we scorpios tend to keep it in until you cross us and act like a damn fool then we decide to let it out. I, gave the guy at the Apple store the finger. Sometimes these things just happen.

Yep. RIP, Gordon Jump.

So I ask you...who is the Kenmore man? That's the guy I 'really' want to see repairing my dryer.

I loathe Sears with white hot heat. I just spoke with a friend last week who had her new Kenmore (under warranty) dishwasher break...still fighting with them four weeks later to fix it.
My refrigerator died two years ago...four days before Christmas. I went to Sears, picked out top of the line stainless Amana. Did the salesperson give me ANY warning there should be a problem? No. Promised delivery in two days...that would be December 23rd. Turned out it was on back order until February.
My brother lent me his marine sized cooler from his boat, and that was my refrigerator until about...oh say...February 20th. I called Sears. I called Sears Regional. I called their Headquarters. I called friggin' Amana out in Iowa. Unbelievable. I cannot say enough bad things about Sears.

I am actually a big fan of those salty oat cookies at Teaism. They're a great splurge after eating something light and healthy there. Good luck with the dryer!

Oh hell yes. I ate two of them (salty oat cookies...not dryers)
