Very Important Update on NeuTab product

Back in August of last year, I wrote a post about a tablet I had purchased.  http://mysouthernmoon.blogspot.com/2014/08/purchasing-tablets_10.html

This is a horrible product that should never have been put on the market.
When I purchased the product, it never connected to the Wi-Fi like it was supposed to, so I gave it to my grandson to play games on. http://www.neutab.us/  That was a very bad mistake! This past weekend, my family and I went on vacation and naturally  my grandson took his tablet with him. He had complained a couple of times about it cutting off  so we assumed it just wasn't charging correctly. My daughter in law went to check it and she noticed the casing was coming loose at the top. She pulled the tablet out of it's protective cover and it practically fell apart in her hands! She held it out for me to see and I noticed right away that the battery was swelling up like a balloon! My husband and son grabbed it from her and raced out of the hotel room with it. This thing was about to explode! In a little while my son came back in the door and said that they had no idea how to dispose of this thing. If they put it in the garbage, it could explode and hurt someone. If they laid it outside the door a kid could get it or someone else might call in a bomb. We didn't know what to do. My daughter in law and I took it down the main desk. This was about eleven PM. The people at the desk tried their best to find out what we should do with it, but we couldn't find any way to properly dispose of it. We were told by the local fire department that it was highly volatile! The only thing we could do was put this stupid tablet in our shower in the bathroom overnight with the door closed. The next morning we were going to start home, but we had no idea what to do with this thing. We would have six people in the car and two of them were small children. We ended up wrapping it in a towel and sticking it under my seat to travel home.
This tablet should have never been on the market. We have since found out that this is caused by a factory defect. I honestly believe that NeuTab knew this was a faulty product. Thank God Amazon no longer sells them. If you have a NeuTab tablet in your home. Please get rid of it. They can be very dangerous! My four-year-old grandson could have been hurt severely by this tablet. And there is literally nothing I can do about it, short of warning others.

Straight Talk

I haven't done this in a while, and it was really nice not to have the need to. But here goes, I am going to rant.

I recently ordered a Straight Talk Galaxy Centura phone. Well, the phone has issues. Really bad issues. It would freeze if I tried to take a picture, resulting in having to shut it down and restart it. The same thing if I tried to open an app. UGH! I took it on a trip with me this past Friday and it was useless. So naturally I called the straight talk company Saturday.  Of course I forgot that I had taken Lasix and hour before I called them, so you ladies can imagine how uncomfortable this call was!

First, I tried their online chat. When I told "Rowena", their helpful chat person, what my phone was doing. She promptly threw up a well-written document telling me to call the company. It seems as if "Rowena" had no customer skills or was too busy to want to help me. It didn't matter that I had waited twenty minutes to get Miss Rowena on the Chat line. So I called the company's eight hundred number. I am greeted with a guy that has such a strong accent I can barely understand him. I have to get him to keep repeating himself as I truly can't understand what he is saying. I felt bad about this in the beginning. He walks me through the steps of shutting my phone down and restarting it like that will fix the problem. I told him I had done this on numerous occasions. But yet, I did it again. He then put me on hold for twenty minutes. I am assuming he is reading some kind of help manual. He gets back on the phone and walks me through removing the battery from my phone. I tell him I have done this numerous times, but we do it anyway. He again puts me on hold for about twenty minutes. (Back to the manual!) He comes back and asks me what color my battery is.( Back to the manual!) Then he has me put my phone back together and asks me what it's doing. I look at the phone in my hand. It doesn't appear to be doing anything, so I tell him. He then asks me to hold the line. I wait about ten minutes this time and he gets back on the line and asks me if my phone is "better". Well no, we haven't done anything to fix it. (Back to the manual!) He  comes back and asks me what my phone is doing. I tell him it is freezing. He doesn't understand. I tell him it locks down. He once again asks me to hold. He gets back on the phone and asks me to shut my phone down again. We do this again. Then he asks me to remove the battery and tell him what color it is. We are now starting over and I have been on the phone for an hour and a half now! I tell him that I do not want to do all of this over, can he please get me a supervisor. He puts me on hold. I finally get the supervisor. She says hello, gives me her name and puts me on hold! I wait for twenty-five minutes! Now I tell her what has happened and she puts me on hold. By now, I am ready to walk to company headquarters. Finally, this supervisor tells me to send them my phone and they will replace it. I tell her that she needs to send me the new phone, then I will send the one I have. No, they can't do that. What?! I have to be without a phone and loose time that I have paid for to send my phone back to you? Yes, mam. Oh my God! So, as soon as my time is finished with Straight Talk, I will be looking for a new carrier. I am not at all pleased with this!

For the past week, so many of you have messaged me asking what is going on. I'm going to explain it all here.It has become a difficult task explaining this a few times each day. And it is something I would like to put behind me and move on. for all of this to make sense, please bear with me as I take you back to the beginning...

As some of you know, my family and I were having some Paranormal activity in our home. When it started to affect our Grandson, we knew it was time to call in a team of professionals. My Daughter in Law, Cari, and I started an online search for a local paranormal team. This was something we had never done before, so we had no clue whom would be best for the job. We found a local team. I contacted them via email and they set up a time to meet with us. A few days later three gentlemen showed up at our home. (I will not disclose and names here, as I do not have permission to do so.) Mr. One, Mr. two and Mr. three. We noticed right away that Mr. Three seemed bored and uncaring during the interview. This made me very uncomfortable, but we agreed to an investigation. During this investigation, the bored Mr. Three was attacked spiritually that night. To make a long story short. It changed things for him.We ended up having two investigations from this team. After the second investigation, my family and I joined this team. We wanted to help others that were going through what we had been through. Joining a paranormal team had never crossed our minds, but we thought with our experiences that we could possibly help others. I'm thinking it was about two weeks after we joined that I got a phone call from Mr. Two. He told me that he was quitting the team. Well being that we had just joined and I really didn't want to be involved in a big mess, I decided that we would quit the team as well. When I stated this, Mr. Two told me that he was actually starting a new team with Mr one as they didn't like the way Mr. Three was handling things. (This should have been my red flag.) He said he would like me and my family to stay with them on this new team. We agreed and being that Cari and myself are web Designers by trade we were a great asset to the team.Cari excels in branding and social media where my abilities are in web and graphic design so it didn't take the two of us long to get this new team off the ground and running.Cari myself and my husband were given positions on the board. Cari and I worked daily on getting this team's name out there. And it turned out to be pretty successful rather quickly.In the meantime, the people from the original team are left wondering what just happened. A lot of people got hurt when Mr one and Mr two decided to up and do this out of the blue. I didn't know any of these people, so I assumed this had been a long time coming. I learned later that it wasn't. They dropped these people out of their team and their lives with no further explanation. I never felt right about this. But I was told that these people were holding them back from what they hoped to achieve.
A couple of years went by and the team grew into another branch in the lower part of the state. Well tried to grow would be more honest. That hasn't actually worked out yet.Then the team grew into a Cryptid team as well. My family and I were given control over this part of the team and The Carolina Cryptid Crew was born. This Cryptid team began to thrive as well. A lot of our members chose to be on both teams and that was fine with us.Both teams were doing well.

Mr One and Mr two decided it was time for a board meeting. As it turned out, our schedules kept conflicting and getting together was becoming difficult.So last week I received an email kicking myself and my family from the team that we had worked so hard to build. (Just like the people in the past that were kicked.) We were told to take CCC and move on. This was completely out of the blue.
Mr one and Mr Two decided that they were going to make the other members choose one team or the other, they could no longer be on both teams. What? That sounded ridiculous! Cari and I both asked them to please not do this to the other members. But ultimately, it was their decision.Now, Mr one and Mr Two are claiming that this was a mutual decision. I can tell you honestly, that it wasn't. This was their decision, and their decision only. Carolina Cryptid Crew will never make any of it's members choose one team only. We are adults that understand that people have more than one interest.And that once you join a team of people they become your extended family, as they should. But apparently for Mr. One and Mr. Two people have no feelings and are expendable. That in itself is very sad.

Looking back now, a Lot of this makes perfect sense. When Mr Two does not like something, he just drops people from his life and moves on. This is twice he has done this, so I am sure he will do it again in time. No one's position within his team is secure. It never has been and it never will be, that's just the way he operates.

It has been almost a week since all of this has happened, and my heart is still completely broken. I let these men into my home and my life completely. I would have trusted them with my grandkids. Never in a million years would I have thought they would lie. But they have. When they contacted the members of the team stating that this was all a mutual agreement they knew it wasn't true. They knew they had kicked us off the team, and they knew we asked them to please not make people choose. I should have know that anything built on lies and deceit would never grow. Now looking back. I see that perfectly. I have since gone back to the original people that were hurt in all this mess and offered my apologies.As I now stand where they once stood. And it hurts to the very core. Mr one and Mr two had become very close to my family, as far as eating dinner with us one a few occasions that we cooked for them and invited them,.Over the past few years, we were in contact with them on a weekly basis. I guess some people can  just walk away from friends, hurt them and feel no remorse. I however, can not. I think about how my actions will make others feel. As in writing this blog post. I am sure it will upset Mr One and Mr Two. It is not written to upset them, it is written because the truth needs to be told.They know the truth as well as we do. And they know that I can prove the truth if asked.

This has been a very hard week for me. I have been on an emotional roller-coaster. I am hurt, I am angry, I am sad, I am relieved, I am happy.I feel used and betrayed and I only have myself to blame for letting deceitful people into my life...sigh.

Now to answer your questions.
Yes. The Carolina Cryptid Crew will continue right along as it is. We have a lot of exciting and fun things planned this year!

NO. We have no intention of giving up our paranormal interests or our outreach to help others.

And finally, YES. I can verify that everything I have stated in this blog post is true. I have no problem handing over anything that you would like to see. All you have to do is email me privately at southernmooncreations@gmail.com

*Note. I understand that by reading this you have only received my side of the story. My main point  was to let people know that we did not walk away from our team. We did not abandon our team. We were kicked off a team that we were currently working to help build. Right up to the very day we were kicked off.

Kirby Vacuum company

It has literally taken me days to calm down so I could write this post. As you all know, I won't write a post about any company if I'm upset as it's just not fair to them or me. And this Kirby company has left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Allow me to start at the beginning. This past Saturday morning. Please note that I said Saturday. Saturday is when most people make plans to go out and do things.
Saturday morning I notice and old beat up looking van with no company stickers on it what so ever pulls into my parents driveway. My family and my parents share a driveway, so It's easy for me to keep an eye on whom drives up. My parents are both elderly, so I try to keep an eye on them. I notice a man and a young woman get out of this van and walk up to my parents door. I watch as my mom steps out to talk with these strangers.Then to my shock, they enter my parents home. I immediately call next door, my Dad answers the phone and I ask him if everything is OK, He says, "No, I can't get these people to leave." I hang up the phone and am headed out there in a flash. Just as I get half way across the yard, the man is already in the van and leaving. The girl is still in my parents house. What is going on?

I enter my parents front door to see my mother and father sitting on the couch and the young girl is in the floor trying to unpack vacuum fittings, I say to her, "Don't unpack that,you're not staying"
I then look at my dad and say, "Don't you have somewhere to be?" My dad says yes, "And we told them this" I look back at the girl. She says to me.
" I am so very sorry. They did tell my boss that they didn't have time for this."
I ask her just where her boss went? She tells me that he had taken another girl to another house. I tell her that she is going to have to leave because my parents were headed to the hospital to see about my father's brother that was currently in intensive care. She gets out her cell phone and calls her boss and leaves a message that he needs to come get here. We wait a while for him to arrive, and he doesn't three phone calls and two hours later this girl is still in my parents home! During this wait, I find out that this girl is pregnant on top of everything else! Finally, we have to move this girl and all of these stupid vacuum cleaner boxes out to the porch so my parents can leave. This is when my Dad tells me that he and mom were insisting that they weren't interested and this man said he wanted to see my fathers dog and entered the house anyway! I was fit to be tied. This so called boss man pulls back into the driveway. By this time I have alerted my family next door, and my friends from Virginia that were down visiting us. We were ALL in the yard waiting for this idiot boss to drive back up. He stepped out of his van and was met with four irate women! We told him exactly what we thought about what had just happened.He thought he would run his mouth to us, But no, we were four very angry southern women. He got blatantly told off. And we were still telling him off when my mother stepped up and told him that he better just get in his van and leave.

Now here are the reasons I am so upset with this company.
 1. They forced their way into my parents home.
2. They didn't leave when asked.
3. A pregnant girl is carrying around boxes to heavy for a grown man.
4. This "Boss" endangered his employee by leaving her in a strange home with no way to reach him.
5. And this "Boss" told us that our local police department were aware of what they were doing.
That was a bold faced lie as we called to verify this.

Please, do not let these people into you home. Tell anyone you know what this company is doing. Share this post so others can be aware.

Purchasing Tablets

Lately I think I have become somewhat of an expert on purchasing 7" tablets. I think I have purchased three if not four in the past five months. I know! That is a lot. But for some reason, the universe does not think my son should own one, so it's going to find some crazy way to help him destroy it. Like the first one, the car door slammed on it. Yea, I wondered the same thing. Where did he leave it laying? Well actually, it was in his hand. It seems the car was parked on an incline, he got his tablet, stepped back out of the car and the door swings shut mashing the tablet. OK Now I see how that could happen, I guess, so I order myself a new one and give him my older one and continue to do this for he next three or four tablets. Finally, I'm shopping on Amazon one day and I come across this tablet, it has all the bells and whistles, the latest apps, and is a great value, so I buy it. That was a BIG mistake. There was just one thing they failed to mention in their advertisement. It would not connect to the internet! Ok, that is exaggerating just a bit. It would connect. But count three seconds and you have lost your connection.I contacted the company. They basically tell me to reset it to factory preset. Which meant dump all my stuff. OK. Not happy. But i did it. And guess what. Now I have a tablet that wont connect and all of my cool stuff has been deleted. I am really not happy by now. I contact the company again. They wont refund my money but the will send another tablet after I pay to ship this one back to them. What? I get another crappy product and i get stuck with shipping costs? No thank you! Now I contact Amazon. They are a bit more understanding, but it will be three weeks for my transaction to go through and possibly four weeks before the funds are back in my account. Forget it!! I put the tablet in a box, put it in the drawer, and guess what happens if my son kills his again...Yep. He gets this shiny new tablet from my bottom drawer (Evil Grin). My new tablet should be here some time tomorrow. So here is your tip... Stay away from NeuTab!

Breast Cancer Donations

Do you get phone calls from the Breast Cancer Society wanting you to donate money? Well I do, and it makes me so dang mad i could spit nails! OK, let me explain to you why I get so freaked out over these phone calls. I know they need our donations to help women, right? I use to think that too,until I needed help....

A couple of years ago I went in for my mammogram, well they sent me to a uncaring butcher of a doctor for a biopsy.(As long as I live, I will never ever do that again.) Mine was so high up, it was almost to my collar bone. The Dr couldn't deaden it enough. I had to make them stop as i thought I would pass out from the pain! So from there I was to have a surgical biopsy. Well I couldn't afford it and no one at all would help me. The breast cancer society gave me the run around and pretty much brushed me off. I still need this surgery, but me with no insurance and a Breast Cancer Society unwilling to help me, I guess it just isn't going to happen.
Now for the phone calls.The first time my phone rang from the Breast Cancer Society, I thought maybe they were calling with some help for me, NOT.They gave me this long spill about donating money. When I could finally get a word in, I asked why they couldn't help me and I got hung up on. Yep. They just hung up on me.
So the next time they called my DIL asked them they same question as to why they couldn't help and they hung up on her too.So just where is peoples donations going? It really makes me see things differently now....

While I'm ranting on the breast cancer topic, let me just go ahead and tel you about another matter that makes me want to spit nails.If you have been on face book then I'm sure at some point you have received the private email that tells you to post what color bra you are wearing, it's supposed to help breast cancer awareness. Well let me just say, Breast Cancer is not Gender based! It is NOT a female disease. Want to know how I know this? Ten years ago my husband had a lump under his right nipple. We went to our family doctor who explained to us that men get breast cancer.We were sent to a specialist who set up surgery to remove the mass.I was so scared that everyday he would leave for work I would sit and cry. I kept a brave face in front of him, but i was a basket case inside.Fortunately for us, his mass was benign.But some men, just like women, are not so lucky. So please, please do not participate in these face book games that tell you to keep it a secret and make the men wonder.It could be your husband next. But I will pray every night that it isn't.

OK, I am finished ranting. Thank you for reading.
Until next time. Someone loves you. I do! xoxo

Getting ripped off?

I have seen quite a few posts on Face Book lately about No More Rack. It seems to be that more and more people are getting faulty merchandise from this company, or not receiving it all together. Well my experience with them was not good either. But i didn't think much about it, until i saw so many people having similar problems.
Being a Paranormal Investigator, I am always looking for new equipment. So when No More Rack advertised this Bell and Howell Digital Video Camera. I ordered one.I do not remember the exact price of it. But I do remember that it wasn't cheap.And straight out of the box, it didn't work. I played around with it a bit and finally got it to half way operate. But it has never worked like it is supposed to.I wanted to send it back, but after contacting them i realized that would be more trouble than fighting with the broken camera.So, I just removed them from my email and shopping list. With what I have read about them, from others. They argue with you when you want to return something. Then they do not for any reason want to do a cash refund. Well, as far as I am concerned, that company does not exist any more. If you have had a good experience while shopping with them, then I am happy for you! But it seems that most of the people i know are getting "taken" by them. So please be careful when ordering anything off line. And if you can, have them email you a copy of their return policy first.

Meet and Great

Well we had out Cryptid Crew meet and great this past Saturday. This thing had been planned for about two months. We had done tons of advertising for it. So we expected a pretty good turn out.That morning we found out That Chris had class from nine till eleven. Our meeting is supposed to start at twelve noon. This will be tricky, but we can do it.
We make it to the Seneca Library with just minutes to spare. Marty, Cari and I come through the doors hauling tons of equipment. We approach the counter, and Cari tells them who we are. They then tell us, that we do not have the meeting room booked for that day. I could not believe my ears! This was reserved two moths ago. And confirmed last week! After much back and forth with them. We get it worked out, and we sign the paperwork. And they let us have the room.Then i hear a slight voice saying, "excuse me". I turn to  see a woman with the pretties smile.She asked, "Are you with the Cryptid Crew? I tell her yes. And she gets all excited. She explains how they told her at the desk, that we wouldn't be there today.I apologize to her and tell her we will begin as soon as we can get set up.She asks how long we will be there. I tell her until 3 pm. And we head on over to the meeting room. As we are about finished setting up. One of our members comes in.She tells us, that they told her at the front desk that we weren't there! How and why would they do that!?Then we found out that they were telling people that we wouldn't start until 3 pm. This was a disaster! So instead of beginning at 12 noon. We held off a bit to give others time to show up.And we did get a few more in.
The whole thing went very smoothly. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. And it was generally a good time. But now, we have to plan another meet and great for the ones that got turned away.I'm not real crazy about that idea. But i do feel bad for anyone that had planned to join us and couldn't. But we all learned a valuable lesson. NEVER trust Seneca Library with anything important!!

Amazon?

I got this strange email from Amazon yesterday.Apparently I owe sales tax on orders purchased last year. Say what? This hasn't happened before. So i saved the letter and didn't think any thing else about it. Then today i get another telling me the same thing. But this time it has an exact amount on it. OK. Time to take care of this. I follow the link over. Put in all the necessary info. And pay my bill. Now I'm looking back on this and wondering...... Is this really legit? Why hasn't this happened before? Should I find out if it's happening to others, Or just the state of South Carolina. IDK. I just find it odd that in all these years of ordering from them, I have never had anything like this happen.
