Darkavich's Daily Ramblings

I have been extremely lucky due to diligence and common sense when purchasing on the Internet. Today, I was going through my old receipts and discovered an order I had placed on March 14th 2009 that never arrived. I purchase a lot of items and it’s hard to keep track of what I bought and what has arrived. Having a checklist of things ordered really helps.

The company in question is called lidomounts.com and they appear to be a legitimate site that sells mounts for all sorts of vehicles. I had purchased a mount for a garmin nuvi for a motorcycle. Well it turns out this company is fraudulent. There appears to be a lot of postings about them, unfortunately it was all posted AFTER I made my purchase.

I looked online with my credit card company to dispute the charge. I was unable to find the charge on my statement so I called. There was no record of the charge. I got lucky… Apparently, their merchant account cut them off and my charge never went through.

I have tried to contact them to give them the benefit of the doubt, but nobody responded to voice mails or emails sent. The only real information I found was through the domain registration, but nobody at those numbers returns calls.

Well I have been away from blogging for a while. After all the hard work I put in the last few months, I decided to take a day off of work and go to Disneyland. I don’t know if it was that my body was run down or all the pools of festering germs from all the kids at the park (maybe both), but I got sick.

I have not been sick in over three years, and not for more than three days in a row. This sickness hit me hard. I am still recovering after two weeks. Most of the symptoms are gone except for coughing every so often. I hope that by this weekend I will be fully recovered.

Doing my 40 mile bike ride today, I ran into the following drivers who may be elligible for the darwin awards real soon.

1) Driver with food in one hand and a cell phone in the other (25 mph). She didn’t see any of the cyclests around her and almost wipe out one of them.

2) Driver who thinks a Yield sign means I am bigger than you so I won’t stop. I pointed to the yeild sign and explained he needed to yeid. I got the double bird and an explitive. I hope he exits the gene pool real soon.

3) Group riders that think they can ride 5 abreast on a two way bike path. Where the F*CK do you think I am going to go you selfish idiot?
