Microsoft Brainwashes People
Right on CCN.com, Steve Ballmer admits to brainwashing. Says his children are not allowed to have an iPod or use Google. What a stupidly myopic idiot. Wonder why Microsoft is having so many problems getting things like Windows Vista and Office 2007 out the door on time.
Funniest part is that one of the big selling points of XBOX 360 is that you can use it with your iPod to play music while you are gaming. Guess not if you are one of Ballmer's kids. You will have to use one of those wonderful Microsoft MP3 players, if and when they ever get one to market.
Dumbass.

School Districts Just Don't Get It
I can't find the best quote I heard about this on TV this morning while watching the news. It was a school official, commenting on the students that had walked out, saying, "They need to obey the law and go back to school."
Dumbass. They are ILLEGAL immigrants. They are not here becuase they are good at obeying the law, they are here becuase they have total, utter, disregard for the law.
Shit, time to get a bus, round them up and send every one of the little buggers waving a Mexican flag back to Mexico.
Go legislation! Come on Felony! Let's deport Juan and his friend Carlos.

Burning The Midnight Oil
Ok, had a customer that was originally located half in Houston, half in New Orleans. So for the past six months or so they have been all in Houston. Last week they went back. I forgot to load Exchange System Manager on the new server. Been trying since 8PM to FTP the image of the Exchange 2003 CD to the server in New Orleans to load up ESM. Finally have it loading. Guess I'm going to be a friggin zombie tomorrow. Look out coffee pot, here I come...

Toe Update
My toe still hurts like hell. This photo doesn't do justice, it is really black now. Think maybe the black part will come out soon and I'll have an even scarier picture to put on here.Labels: health

Thats gonna leave a mark...
Coming through the house last night in the dark during movie hour, I smashed my right foot into the bathroom door. Stubbed 3 toes, and one of them has the oddest bruise. I've had bruse under the nail before, but never one just behind the nail. Wierd.

Defrauded on eBay
Quick updates at the bottom:
Ok, started a new blog to handle this, see eBay Grifter ID Project
I'm going to keep moving this post up the list as it is updated, so the POST date will actually represent the last UPDATE date. Figure I have a couple more days before I get my money back, or give up in exasperation.
Original post 2-16-2006:
Ok, I ordered a video game from:
undergroundworld2006
ronda strauser
5715 will clayton, #1214
humble, TX 77338
United States
(281) 754-4941
undergroundworld_2006@yahoo.com
As a second chance item.
My bad - I didn't check before bidding or accepting the 2nd chance offer to see either their feedback, or that they took PayPal.
So I sent a money order for $35 via Certified Mail, return receipt to them. Postage was $4.64, so I'm out $39.64
Got the card back in the mail, it arrived 2/10/2006.
On 2/12/2006 they filed an unpaid item complaint against me, and have been dicking with me back and forth ever since.
Today they entered an unpaid item strike, then closed their account.
Did a Google search on the address, it is a PO Box from the looks of things.
So, time to:
1. File a theft complaint with the Humble Police Department. (I live less than 50 miles away from them.)
2. File a theft/fraud complaint with the United States Postal Service. (Done 2-16-2006 online at usps.com)
3. File a complaint with the PO Box company if I can figure out who they are. Figured out who they are below.
4. Figure out where they are located for real, and pay a visit.
Here is their user history at eBay:
undergroundworld2006 Dec-26-05 Not a registered user
humbletexasgirl Oct-09-05 Dec-26-05
So, it looks like they have more than one address for ripping me off, but there is at least more information.
Here is what I found by Googling the phone number:
!! -- THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE THE MAILBOX COMPANY -- !!

By phone: (281) 361-7200
By Fax (281) 754-4941

Going to go after Ronda.
UPDATE 2-17-2006
Called my credit union this morning. Money order has not been cahsed yet. Going to call the PO Box company today.
Ok, called the PO Box company and spoke with a Laura. I had to explain to her the nature of theft, but eventually got her to agree to have the manager call me. Later, I was called by Raul. He confirmed that the letter was received, and that it was there. However, it turns out that Ronda Strauser is a deadbeat and has not paid her bill there in quite some time. He cannot release the letter to me, and he cannot help me furher, but now I know it has not been cashed for sure, and it is not in the hands of theif Ronda Strauser.
Next call will be to the Humble Police Department or the United States Postal Service.
Late updaate: Ok, e-mailed another eBayer that had left her bad feedback. Got the lowdown that she lives in Iowa. I think I found a page with her information:
Ronda Strauser
And here is her Tripod
So, she really lives in Manchester, Iowa. I'm on to the bitch now.
Signed her guest book and got another yahoo e-mail address for her: tear_drops_on_the_inside@yahoo.com
2-18-2006 Update:
I found a pair of mailing lists that she runs on Yahoo and the e-mails to send the messages to her there.
InjectingGothicFreakIntoYourVeinss@yahoogroups.com
Gothic_Freaks_4_Ever@yahoogroups.com
Found her My Space Page, Yahoo Profile and a website where she was selling her used panties.
Here is what she looks like, so I'm thinking the panties were not a popular item.
Oh, almost forgot, also found her real phone number, it is listed, but her address is not currently. Searched the tax roles for her town, and didn't find anything conclusive for her address.
Ronda Strauser - 563-927-9092, Manchester, IA, 52057
Next step? Well, as the money order is at the PO Box company, I'm going to e-mail all of her addresses and share with her what information I have found on her for free on the internet. Tell her to call the PO Box company and authorize them to return my money order. Remind her that if I don't get it done, I will be making her life as difficult as possible.
Oh, I'm also contacting any other eBayer that has bad feedback for her and providing them with the information that I have found. Hard to do becuase she hid her feedback when she closed her account, but I have faith in my ability.
2/19/2006 Update:
Ok, I sent her the following e-mail last night:
-- start
Lets talk about our recent eBay transaction.
Yesterday I spoke with Raul at usa2me.com, and I am aware that you have not paid your bill there and that my money order was still there with no chance of being forwarded any time soon to you. Please call him at 281-361-7200 and have him return the money order to me by writing: UNDELIVERABLE / Return to Sender on the envelope.
Else, ship me the Gun game. I fufilled my part of the transaction, if you are not able to fufill your part then that should be your problem, not mine.
I want the game or the Money Order by Tuesday.
I have begun to contact other eBay members that had recent transactions with you, and have been sharing information with them. By doing this, and searching on the internet, I have found out the following information:
E-mail addresses:
tear_drops_on_the_inside@yahoo.com
undergroundworld_2006@yahoo.com

Mail Lists:
InjectingGothicFreakIntoYourVeinss@yahoogroups.com
Gothic_Freaks_4_Ever@yahoogroups.com
I also have the following information, and know your phone numer and city/state/county of residence:
563-927-9092, Delaware County, Manchester, IA, 52057
I searched the tax roles for Delaware county, and it does not look like you own a house, but it could be in your husband's name.
I did find a lot of sites offering me more information about you for just $20.00
Next time you decide to accuse someone falsely of trying to rip you off, you should consider that they might take great offense and track you down.
--end
One of the four e-mail addresses bounced back. The others were all aparently delivered, but no response so far, no surprise either.
2-20-2006 Update:
Got an e-mail back from one of the addresses. Now, being a geek, I've had to deal with my share of bullies. If you go look at her tripod site, then read the e-mail, she is either blessed with multiple personalities, or is using a classic bullying tactic that I won't bait on in any way. I'm used to bullies dicking me around, then being very nice when they they think someone is looking. So I don't buy the friendly response from someone's web page that consists mostly of "fuck you" and "fuck the world". Nice try though. Going to have some fun with her now.

Man, it could be really difficult to catch up with someone like this.
Good news is - This post is now the number 1 search on Google for Ronda Strauser, so maybe other folks that are getting ripped off will find this and we can make life difficult for her.
Oh, just found out her husband's name is Leo. Leo Strauser clueless husband, or co-conspirator? Only time will tell.
Time has told. They are a husband and wife stealing team:

3/1/2006 Quick Update:
Got an e-mail from Ronda on the undergroundworld_2006@yahoo.com askig me for my address yesterday. Didn't respond.
Now I have something in the Dispute Console on eBay saying the item was shipped. Dind't respond. But I am curious and would like an answer from eBay about how someone who is "No longer a Registered User" can log in and add content to the dispute. Maybe I'll get to that sometime today if I have a chance to get their Help Chat console up and running.
3/8/2006 -
Can't explain everything right now, but I got my money order back. Removed the other company names from the post, looks like they are legitimate businesses and Ronda was the one running a fradulant business out of that location. I'll wrap up more on my other blog shortly. The short explination is that the squeaky wheel, in my case the really squeaky wheel, gets the grease.
