i wrote these 2 things to a good friend of mine who has family that works at a car sales place somewhere in indiana. thats how the topic of the car thing came up. then she had mentioned about wasting money on airfresheners. thats how the story about the ozium came about.

she said i ought to share it w/others. so here i am! hope you enjoy...........

Just wanted to tell you about this stuff..................its called OZIUM. It’s a room deodorizer. its in an aresol can that is like a skinny hairspray can. it comes in different aromas. the vanilla and the fresh air are my favorites. but the original is in a blue/white can. you find it in the auto department where they keep those hanging car smelly freshners.

i found it when i worked at the bar, as id said. i learned that when smoking in a car w/the windows up, you can squirt one squirt of it into the air, and you smell the smell of the ozium for about 30-40 seconds then it disappears and NOTHING! No more smell, and visibly no more smoke. i use it now, around my cat litter, and when i have any of the grandkids at my house. i smoke, but give the room one squirt and you can actually watch the smoke disappear. cooking smells, trash, and so on. id do a commercial for it if they asked me to. i think the can i described is about 3.5 or so ounces. it may be more. it lasts a LONG time. much longer than normal deoderizers and none ive found even compare to how good this works.

if you come to the kokomo walmart and dont intend to shop for anything else, just park in the back where you go to get an oil change. theres a back door to the store. the auto dept is right there as you walk in, and they have a cash register right there to pay for it. you dont even have to go into the store itself. short and sweet.

gotta tell ya this........................................over 10 yrs ago, when i was car shopping and i was going to pay cash for a NEW car, me and (a younger) aaron went to some dealerships in indy to look around and possibly buy, if i found what i wanted. i dont remember which one it was but it was one that was on TV all the time and a well known one, and it was HUGE. aaron and i both had jeans on but were dressed appropriately for the day. we wandered around, walking right past a group of (at one point there was 7) salesmen who were standing around just chatting w/each other about stuff, for over an hour, and during that time men came in to car shop and various salesmen left the chatty group to help them. not once did even one of them ask if they could help me. i had kept an eye on my watch. they seem to think............dumb/stupid woman w/little kid......not gonna buy a new one so lets just act like she doesnt exist and maybe shell go away. ticked me off royally. sooooo a little passed an hour of being ignored, (i warned aaron cause i knew hed be embarrassed) i loudly called out, "does anyone in here want to sell me a car today?" 3 guys headed for me. somehow 2 dropped away and this guy turned on the charm and appologised profusely. i told him it didnt matter (thats all i said aloud to him) ...................and it didnt...............because i would NEVER buy a car from that place or any one of those salesmen.
anyhow, i started looking at high dollar cars in the showroom and picked one. i knew my credit was excellent and the guy kept saying the old, "what will it take for me to put you in that car today?" i THOUGHT..................................show me a snowball from hell.......................i SAID, lets get going on the paper work.

you know how long the paperwork process is? LONG. well over an hour, and closer to 2 hrs. they had to check my credit and all the other crap they tried to sell me, like undercoating and tinted windows, CD player, and other added on stuff. i ordered it all. i asked a zillion questions. FINALLY, when it was time for my signature, i took the pen and put the pen to the paper and then reached over and laid his pen right in front of him, stood up, took my son by the hand, and said, " you wasted over an hour of my time..........................how does it feel?" i walked out of there bursting w/pride. treat me like that, then expect me to buy something from you.......................i dont think so!!!! on the way to the car, aaron asked if i was going to do that at every dealership we went to. i told him "yes, if i was treated this same way?" i went home tired and "puffed up" w/pride. I was proud of myself for keeping my cool, and teaching a lesson to those arrogant men.

kinda like not throwing away junk mail. take the time to write "return to sender" and put it back in your mail box. when it comes back they have to pay return postage.

i LIKE to think of these things as making a point! call it what you will.......................it feels good! ya'll be kind and assertive! :)
