clementine Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We purchased a board game for Christmas. I removed the plastic wrap from the box and opened it so we could start to play. All of the pieces were there, but the game board was missing. A new game is being shipped to us in 10-14 days. I'm thankful for great customer service, but we were kind of looking forward to game night on Christmas Day eve. :lol: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessa516 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Haha! We had calendar issues, too. My DH orders calendars every year for the grandparents. They're full of pictures of our family throughout the year. This year when we picked up the calendars a couple of the months had some other family's pictures. Also, some of the months had been put in upside down. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Dh and I buy a new puzzle every move to keep us occupied until our stuff arrives. The last one had multiples of pieces. I ended up with one full puzzle, one third of one, and an extra bottom of another. All the same picture. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly went mad toward the middle of it though.. Dh has bought me a few that were truly fifty shades of grey.

Melissa in Australia Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 our kitchen wall calender this year had the week starting MONDAY instead of SUNDAY. We have been confused about activities on Wednesday for the whole year. both of us obviously just look and the position of the notes on the calendar, not the actual day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been confused about activities on Wednesday for the whole year. both of us obviously just look and the position of the notes on the calendar, not the actual day I have a planner with this format. I hated it at first but finally decided it was brilliant and Kia want every calendar in my house to use this format. Of course, if I did that, everyone else would be so confused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I once got a dictionary with no letter N. Very weird. They did replace it for me. I got one of these in college. I got home from work at 11 one night and was working on a paper due early the next morning and I had to look up a word for spelling. I was so sleep deprived and I couldn't find the words beginning with the letter in the dictionary. I have vivid memories of sitting on my bed, crying while reciting the needed portions of the alphabet and just not understanding why I couldn't find it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I don't understand? Is it because of the time of the year and lack of desire? February is famous (or infamous) around here for being everyone's least favorite month for homeschooling. It's cold, the holidays are over, motivation is nil. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I had a bible that stopped in the middle of one book and skipped to the middle of another. Many years ago we were given a family Bible (one of those big, ornate, could knock someone out sizes). It had TWO of the Book of Deuteronomy (in two different spots) and missing one other book.

luuknam Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'm my experience this is how most of the non-English-speaking world arranges their calendars. We're the exception in starting our week with Sunday. Something about resting on the 7th day... which would make Monday the 1st day. Unless you're Jewish, Muslim, etc. I borrowed a copy of D'Aulaire's Greek Myths that repeated some of the myths and was missing others. The library had had that book for 2 decades or something. I still complained about it though... it's no fun being in the middle of a myth and then finding out you don't have the ending. I also had a misprint of a Life of Fred book, where it suddenly skipped 2 books or so after a chapter. Story-wise it was a little weird, but not too out there, especially given that LOF is a little weird at times, but then math-wise it suddenly expected you to do multi-digit multiplication, after the book had just started teaching multiplication.

maize Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 That's how all calendars are back home, and I find it makes a lot more sense than starting the week with the day of rest. Especially since we call Saturday and Sunday together "the weekend". Basically we have stuck with the Jewish calendar week while making Sunday our rest/worship day rather than Saturday.
