I said I would post about the 'New 3DS XL Game Console' when I received it and I did receive it today.

Actually I wasn't expecting it because I ordered through DELL along with some other items. Their
customer support told me a couple of days ago that it was out of stock and wouldn't be available
until March.

I haven't used it enough yet to know if it is really worth upgrading from the DS2. It just depends
on what you want, I guess.

Set up was easy. It connected to my internet quickly. I even pulled up ClixSense on it.

From what little I have used it, the 3D is hard on my eyes. It really is. It's very cool, however.
I'm mighty sure I would not want children using it for long periods at a time and probably not good
for adults either. There is a slider control on it in which the 3D can be turned off.

I put the 'Zelda Majora's Mask 3D' in and played it for a short period of time. Seems like it talked too
much. Talked too much in regards to reading what a player says. Perhaps further into the game, there
won't be as much 'talk'. It is very cool tho.

My adaptor/charger that came with my DS2 does work with the New DS 3 XL. I'm not sure if the
screens are any larger than the DS2. I haven't compared. I don't know why they call it a 'XL'.

Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Many years ago, they were very strict in what children watched. Not so much today.

My sister and I went to the movie theater. She's several years older than I. We didn't
know what was playing. So we get there and it's movie 'Black Sunday'. I was like maybe
ten years old. They did not want to let us in to the theater stating we were far too young.
For some reason that I don't recall, we would have to wait a couple outside in the cold for
some time. (Chicago). Maybe it was going to be awhile til the next bus. I don't recall.

The point is, they did let us in to see the movie since we didn't have an immediate ride.

The movie started. I think it barely got started when we came flying out of there! I mean
we ran like running for our lives.

I don't remember what happen after we entered the theater lobby. Maybe we sat there
until the next bus run or maybe we went into the stores shopping. I don't remember
any of that.

What I do remember is a campfire, witches dancing around it and a person tied to a pole
of some sort. They took an iron mask that was full of sharp prongs and pushed it onto
his face. That is when my sister and I ran like no tomorrow.

I want you to know, to this day, I have tried a few times over the years to watch that
movie and I can't. It's a movie I rarely even see listed.

Of course today I guess that movie would seem like nothing and I have certainly without
a doubt watched worse. The few times I have tried to watch it, I just can't. I get a really
sick feeling every time it gets to the mask part which is at the beginning of the movie.

I hope you get to feeling much better very soon.

Hopefully you'll feel much better come Christmas. Merry Christmas!

Good name Charez for the exercise class.

Of course Santa is real and ALL those in Turkey know that.

A monk name Nicholas was a very kind man, living in Turkey. They say he gave to everyone he
met and the children especially loved him for his gifts and generosity. He was made a Saint due
to his generous nature.

Nicholas was then known as Saint Nicholas.

Everyone tends to shorten things over time so Saint Nicholas was eventually known as simply
'St Nic'. Eventually it became St Nick, due to English spelling I suppose.

As time progressed, someone came up with Santa for Saint. Probably the Dutch or some sort
of mis spelling that stuck. I am not sure where the 'Clause' came in but that might be from the
Dutch too.

So if you ask if Santa is real, the answer is of course. He may be up there some where, watching
all the people, children and adults alike. So you best be very good because St Nicholas may be
watching YOU!

The bonus is always very nice and can make a huge addition when cashing out.

Yes the cents can really add up for useful purchases.

Same to you and yours Punica.

Oh my my my I watched a horrific movie the other night. The acting was good. The movie
was very different. It is a 'horror' movie. It's new being either 2016 or 2017. The name is

The Autopsy Of Jane Doe

If you like horror movies and you don't have a faint heart, watch it. It's bejeeperish.

I think the thing to beware of is unscrupulous selling ploys and horrific customer support.

I ordered a 'New Nintendo 3D XL' and a game for it through DELL during the special deals days.
I've been an online customer with them for 15 years. For the most part, whatever I order arrives
in two days. Sure enough, I received the game in 2 days. However the game console, I did not
receive. That was OK because I knew there was some delay with it but not like I was in some
sort of hurry. It said I would get it the 16th.

The 16th came and went. I looked and it said I would get it by the 20th. The 20th arrived and
the FEDEX guy had already came and gone but no game console.

Actually the 19h I had sent them an email about it since I did not see any tracking for it. A
customer support sent me an email with a link to software. Go figure because all I could
do was scratch my head.

So yesterday I hit the online chat. I was number 32 in waiting. No big deal, I needed to clean
up my desk anyway. Finally after 25 minutes, I was number one in the online chat. YAY! After
about ten minutes of chatting with a customer support, he finally figured out what I was wanting
to know. After another ten minutes, he told me that item was out of stock. He gave me a phone
number and told me to call because it was the DELL number for more info.

So I call. I get an answer that the item is out of stock and it will be delivered in March. You do
NOT want to know the rest of our conversation.

Bottomline, I told them I was not born yesterday and I knew exactly wha they were doing. It
was a marketing ploy, more or less, for them to make more sales. IF the item was going out of
stock, they would have known it and not listed the product. IF the item could not be delivered
they would have sent me an email notification. IF the item was going to be delayed for whatever
time period, they would have sent me an email notification and they would have canceled the
order or gave me the option to cancel it.

Instead, what they did was sell those non-existent consoles to their customers knowing they
would NOT receive them before Christmas. They knew it would be months before they would
receive them. They knew it would be a hassle for their customers to cancel the order. They
also knew that many customers would order other products too.....like I did ordering a $35
game.

So guess what. I have a 3DS Zelda game and nothing to play it on. I have a 2DS but the new
3DS games do not play on the older consoles.

Talk about fired up! They hung up on me!
I told them they needed to compensate me some way, an extra credit or something. They
said they'd do that and put me on hold....then hung up on me.

THAT is the problem with ordering online and ESPECIALLY through the holidays.

Several stores are being sued 'Macy's, Kohl's, JCPenny, and at least one other major store
for stating sale prices when the products really were not on sale. What they would do is place
sale prices on the tickets that were actually the original price!

This day and time, it is really difficult to trust stores offline and online. To top it off, the customer
support people will often do simply copy/paste answers to emails and phone calls are even worse.

I believe we need better enforcement of consumer products cost, sales, customer support, and
even shipping. I think all these things have gotten much worse than better.
