Seize The Deal or Seize Your Money and Run?

I will never buy anything from Seize The Deal again and I encourage others to do the same. In a recent purchase of 4 Christmas gifts, my recipients mysteriously were unable to use their gifts. As it turns out, unknowingly to me prior to purchase, Seize The Deal hired Digital Doorstep to deliver the gifts. DD just went bankrupt. When you call DD, their phone is disconnected. When you talk to Seize The Deal, they say to call DD because it's their fault. Even their CEO will not speak up. No where on ANY paperwork does it say Seize The Deal would be hiring another company to deliver the goods, therefore Seize The Deal should refund the money. But, even after talking to them non-stop, they will not take responsibility. It is STD's (oh wow.... not a good abbreviation!) problem and they are to refund the money of the 6000+ people who purchased this gift and then they are the ones that are supposed to sue Seize The Deal. Our bank is going to help us out and I am contacting the Better Business Bureau and as many news stations as possible to spread the word of this horrible company. They need to ask themselves what I ask my students. "What is the right thing to do?" If I don't get anywhere with my ideas soon, I am contacting my "higher-ups" to take the steps necessary to get my money back because this is wrong. Never have I had a problem with a company not taking ownership of a serious wrong doing. It's really really really really crappy of STD.

Carolyn Braden: My favorite water alternative!

Vitamin Water is a refreshing alternative to my daily water intake. I drink a bottle of it a day. I know that all the nutrients the water has pretty much gets flushed from my system before I can truly get a large benefit from the vitamins (according to a report from Good Morning America). I truly drink it because I like it and it isn't loaded with sugar and calories. Out of all the Zero Vitamin Waters, Lemonade is my favorite. I wish stores would get a clue and stock more of the Lemonade because it is always bought out if a sale happens to be going on. The Lemonade is the only one that always sells out. I guess other people love it like I do!
