Jay’s Spin on the World….

The only way to fly

Posted July 2, 2009 Comments Off

I was lucky enough to get a ride on a private jet from Portland, OR to Oakland International, CA. We were in Portland for a day and a half on business and had a great time. We flew up there on Horizon Airlines Tuesday morning and returned on the private jet Wednesday afternoon. It was my first time flying on a personal jet. I’ve flown many times on private propeller planes but never a jet. It took about 90 minutes gate to gate which is about the same time flying commercial but without the hassle of checking in, TSA long lines and the crowds. The plane is a 1979 Citation,we flew about 31,000 fleet at about 510 mph I was told. It was an incredible experience and I loved it. It’s the only way to fly.

Democracy is a wonderful thing that Sean Penn can produce such a one sided left wing movie like “War Made Easy”. I consider myself a moderate but even I can see that this left wing movie is deceiving and anti United States. I commend Sean Penn’s enthusiasm for the subject and his devotion to his convections but please have an open mind when watching this movie.

I struggled to complete watching this movie knowing the politics of both the left and right sides. If you intend to watch this movie keep an open mind and seek out knowledge of the other side of the argument and then make your own unbiased opinion.

Active.com vent!

I want to vent……………..

Last year I signed up for two races through Active.com. The local race director requested everyone sign up through Active.com. I signed up for the 10 day free trial and paid the amount requested (I think $20.00). And while I was there also signed up for a second event that I wanted to do.

I didn’t think much about it at the time but yesterday I found on my checking account statement a charge for $59.95 from Active.com. Not only that, I researched back a year and exactly 10 days after the free trial expired I was also change $59.95. Obviously I missed the first change for some reason (I need to more diligent). I also didn’t read the fine print saying that if I didn’t’ contact Active.com before the 10 day trial period was over I’d be charged $59.95 yearly for their services. So for a local charity event and a local road race and two tee shirts I’ve spent $179.90.

Call me naïve but couldn’t Active.com tell me in advance of the charges that I’m about to accrue in a reoccurring account of $59.95 each year before they charge me. And better yet give me an option to opt out. I know they won’t make as much money from me but as a courtesy to their customers.

I called Active.com customer support which offers 100% customer satisfaction and the message says they’re not open on the weekends and of course Monday is a holiday.

I run a business that offers a reoccurring payment plan for my services on a monthly and bi-year method. Before every payment is due we send an e-mail indicating the date of the payment and an option to cancel our services if they wish. Very few people ever opt out but I’m not offended if they do. Why wouldn’t a bigger company like Active.com do the same.

Anyway I’ll wait for Tuesday to try to get a refund for at least the one charge.

Vent over…………………..

Happy mothers day & Angie's B-day!
