Because I love Paul

May 02, 2005 | Category:



Auterrific has a lovely troll war going on about Sears. As an added bonus, Linda gives a fabu lesson in how to bitch-slap a troll in 1 easy step.

Trolls aside (hey, did you ever have one of those freaky troll dolls?) I must say something here, because I love Paul.

You know, Paul DiMeo from Extreme Home Makeover? That man, wow. I love him like a flower loves the sun. Me and CD, both. This is our one "must-see" program every week.

I know they get free advertising from it. And that it's a business decision. And they, like most every large corporation on the planet, probably abuse their customers and their employees regularly with rigid one-size-doesn't-fit-all rules and profit-driven behavior.

But you know what? I don't care. I love my Kenmore appliances. I take advantage of their 1-year No-interest sale every year. And I LOVE PAUL.

So Sears? This is one customer who is sticking pat.

I LOVE that show! Every Sunday...that's me watching it. And enjoying every moment!

I love Extreme Home Makeover, too. I like it because the designers are so emotional. It's not like "This Old House" where it's just a paycheck to those guys. I wish reality TV was less about ratings and more about lending a hand. Good for Sears in sponsoring such a great show.

I'm in the process of fueding with Sears right now. Their delivery guys (subcontracted to a subcontractor) unplugged our freezer when they installed a new washer, and nobody wants to pay for the ruined food.

Their customer service has become non-existant. It was a major effort to get someone to admit that they're responsible for their own delivery people.
