I've looked at the recipe several times - Gordon's version and others - and I've never felt like trying it. Cooking should be fun and maybe even challenging. But cooking shouldn't be torture. And that recipe? That's torture. No thanks. So good for you for trying. And for deciding that life is too short to try that recipe again!<br />Amy Z.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292987969900249699.post-58389004680004961612013-12-29T01:45:22.138-08:002013-12-29T01:45:22.138-08:00Wow I never thought of it that wayGood Read for su...Wow I never thought of it that wayGood Read for sure.Many thanks for posting this, It?s simply what I was researching for on bing.

So when my Aunt asked me which craft store I would like a gift card to, I said Joann's. I recieved the card in the mail and my Aunt forwarded me the email with the electronic card and PIN numbers. After receiving my physical card, I tried activating the card online four times and I then tried activating usine the 877# method a number of times. No luck activating this card.<br /><br />I decided to use the email link on the Joann webpage. I never heard back. I then wrote a good old fashioned snail mail letter. I'm still waiting to hear back. How do they stay in business? All the 50% off coupons in the world aren't worth getting ripped off out of my $50 gift card.<br /><br />I've been doing my craft shopping online more and more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859863110782297167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292987969900249699.post-53467415163552054942012-02-11T12:52:34.914-08:002012-02-11T12:52:34.914-08:00Thanks so much!

I "stumbled" upon it as I googled Joyce Valenza to find out what new things she has shared with the world. Mid-way through my first Joyce Valenza presentation, I felt the same way you did. I decided to heed her admonition right then and there. That admonition was to take one, two, possibly three ideas away from her workshop that I could apply. I attend her workshops every time I can because I've been able add those ideas together to come up with a bag of tools and tricks that works for me and my students.colleagues and administrators. I do feel a little humbled each time, but know that I am better for it.Stewiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706776962093459933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292987969900249699.post-7950147868987337832011-07-31T19:13:02.300-07:002011-07-31T19:13:02.300-07:00Well it's a year-and-a-half later (end of July...Well it's a year-and-a-half later (end of July 2011) and guess what? Apparently nothing's changed! Our situation is that we're in Canada and in the past had Joann's ship to a mail service bureau just across the border where we would pick up shipments. After a couple of orders that required manual intervention by customer service to complete an order, they advised us to buy gift cards to use to pay for online orders. So this past week, we drove to the nearest bricks-and-mortar store across the border to by a $300 card. The maximum $value card they could process through their register was $250 and they couldn't override it so we ended up with TWO $150 cards instead.<br /><br />Today my wife tried to order US$250 of stuff online discovered TWO problems. First, you can only use ONE gift card per online purchase, which meant she'd have to split her order into two. OK that's annoying but manageable. THEN the FOUR number gift card entry payment problem. Guess what, we don't have a plastic card PIN number, so I guess we have to call the 1-888 customer service number. Guess what? It doesn't work from Canada! So I called the bricks-n-mortar store and after getting hung up on (by accident I'm sure) spoke to the Ops Manager. She said we shouldn't need a PIN, that gift cards purchased in store are activated at purchase time. Well she took our info, scratched her head (figuratively) and said she'd have to call HO tomorrow (alas it's Sunday today) and call us back. We'll see...Unca Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404316161595842893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292987969900249699.post-4226445035830564982011-07-26T05:27:10.480-07:002011-07-26T05:27:10.480-07:00Wow, fantastic!

You have been someone I have looked up to and followed for a long time. In fact we discussed your manifesto at one of our dept. meetings. But it was so long and challenging! We picked out the things we do, and picked out the things we wanted to try, and then picked out the future things.

I am flattered but so sad to hear that I have anything to do with you feeling depressed. OMG, it is so opposite my goal. This new information world is so exciting and a bit intimidating and a lot like laundry. You are never done. Stuff keeps getting thrown into the hamper. I know, the pace is accelerating, but you need to accept/embrace that you will never be on top of it. And whatever you can do as thoughtful scout and information/communication leader for your learning community will make a difference. I look forward to learning from you!JoyceValenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707735963513537796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292987969900249699.post-34381265286278962312011-04-09T14:30:05.931-07:002011-04-09T14:30:05.931-07:00I am sad to read the name of your blog, that was t...I am sad to read the name of your blog, that was the idea that I had for a blog to write about the perfect book and the perfect recipe.
