The Chicken Adventure.

So Friday and yesterday my hubby and the girls were in Ottawa. They visited the 20 YR old and hung out with her and went shopping at the mall( she also got to drive her BF's Porsche! How awesome is that? I've never even been in one, let alone drive one, the closest I've been is in my cousin's apple red Corvette Stingray with the white leather bucket seats when I was a kid and it was amazing.....an incredible experience I will never forget) and the 16 YR old got to attend a speaking engagement with former American Prez Obama, who she loves and admires more than anyone else in the world;he's her idol; it would be like me going to see Bob Marley live in concert or seeing Jesus in person. I was hoping she'd get to meet him up close and shake his hand and get a Selfie , which would be the opportunity of a lifetime and most likely the highlight of her life, but no such luck. She had a great time though and she said she got photos and I asked her to e-mail me some but she claimed her device doesn't 'allow' her to send photos.....yeah......right....

That brings us to our Chicken Adventure.

While they were gone my mother decided the rest of us here at home would have KFC for dinner and with no car and no one here to go pick it up we had to have it delivered so I went online to their site like I normally do......except something was wrong and it said Error 404 ( the most hated words ever when you're trying to do an online task)  and re-directed me and it kept screwing up my order changing what I ordered, and adding stuff I didn't order and substituting stuff I did order and leaving things out and I had no way of going back and deleting it; it wouldn't let me somehow,  and I logged into my account but forgot my password so I had to do another one and they were so picky about what it had to contain: password must contain at least one capital and lower-case letter plus one number and symbol.....oh, f*ck it.... the password I usually use( so that I can remember it) doesn't have all those( so it's easy for a dolt like me to remember, that's the whole point; so it's NOT too complicated) so I did that and then it had my address wrong ( a BIG problem when you want delivery) and it wouldn't let me change it so I just shut the whole damn thing off, rebooted and tried again but it automatically re-loaded with the old wrong order still on there.....I'd so far spent 45 minutes  on there trying to do it, getting increasingly frustrated......that was it.....enough....I gave up.

So then, Plan Two.

My mother decided to try the old-fashioned way: PHONE in the order, like we used to do in the Old Days, and how we still do order-in pizza and Chinese food. So she tried to call them , getting the number out of the phone book.... except it was the wrong number, so she asked Google Home and it gave her the number of the individual franchise and when she called them they said she apparantly had to go thru the call centre service and place the order thru them and not thru the restaurant itself ( WTF, man? This must be something new.....and annoying) so she did. So far so good....

Not.

The order arrived but my mother didn't get her French fries. (Last time we had KFC we'd sent my hubby and he'd forgot my gravy so I couldn't eat my fries without the gravy, otherwise it just tastes like cardboard so I gave them to the 12 YR old, and my hubby and mother hassled me for being mad I lost half my dinner) and she was absolutely livid! She was furious and called them back in a raging fury and kept yelling, I didn't get my fries!(so now she knows how I felt when I didn't get my gravy  but for some reason it's ok for her to get mad and rage but when I do I'm yelled at to shut up and be grateful you have any food to eat at all! etc...)so eventually they sent them, free of charge, but why does everything always have to be so hard for us all the time? All we wanted was some chicken!!
