Mrs. CE wanted to make a stop to pick up her glasses at our favourite glasses store so we checked the website which clearly states that closing time on Saturday is 4:30. Not do fast, we arrived to learn that they close at 3:30pm.
Moral of the story is don’t believe everything you read on the web.

Unfortunately CE spent the better part of the weekend visiting a loved one at the emergency room. Thankfully the doctors nurses and staff at The ER were amazing and everything will be ok.
One rather bizarre almost mind numbing takeaway is that the vending machines in the ER waiting room are stocked with unhealthy drinks and snacks. Might this be a way for the hospital to drum up business? Shouldn’t the hospital be the last place to find sugary fat laden food?
As always caveatemptorbuyerbeware
anyone want a piece of that kit cat bar?
oh I get it “a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down”.
“Facebook is therefore I am”
why do adults insist upon posting their lives to social media. Why does CE get the impression (false or true) that most people who are active on Facebook lead unbelievably wonderful lives. Isn’t Facebook presenting a shallow narrow narcissistic view of the world?
there are exceptions of course, check out beautifulself.org to see what happens in the “real world”.
so what are the rest of us doing Tikkun Okam ( to repair the world )?
sorry but the doctor just told us that he won’t be in on August 3rd. What? I’ve waited two months for the appointment. And I scheduled my vacation around the appointment. Well I am sorry the next available date we have is September 21st
CE will keep you posted.

CE loves a good salad bar, but come on people now, didn’t your parents teach you to not eat with your hands? Let’s see if the next platter was handled better.
No such luck. CE can only imagine what sort of bacteria is being transmitted while enjoying this buffet.
this afternoon CE’s daughter booked an Uber in advance to drive her to JFK to catch a flight to meet her husband in Ireland. Six minutes before the car was supposed to arrive, CE’s daughter received a message from Uber that there were no cars available.
Thank you Uber for caring and for refreshing CE’s recollection that if a corporation does something to benefit the consumer, it’s a coincidence.
according to the Fenway website;
Fenway’s stature as one of the pre-eminent golf clubs in Westchester results from the time tested greatness of its golf course and the rich history of its professionals. The course, designed by A. W. Tillinghast, one of America’s greatest architects, opened on July 4, 1924. Fenway’s sloping greens, deep traps and deceptively difficult landing areas, have proven time and again that this golf course need be compared to no other and stands on its own as a premier test of golfing excellence
CE and CEjr. Thank their hosts for an amazing day but isn’t it time for a water upgrade? The community wears its Tillinghast legacy proudly on shirts and tees
But it’s hot out there and 1924 could be imprinted on bottles, so perhaps it’s time to bring Poland Spring to the club.
Fairways and greens.

in days of yore CE was of the mindset that the lack of cleanliness as seen below was a corporate and lack of management issue.
those days of yore are over
come on people now we can do better. As consumers we have the choice to purchase our espressos where ever we choose, but that does not give us the right to be disrespectful.
single use plastic items might soon become as rare as pet rocks. But remember if a paper ( it might be time to invest ) straw is not available, be sure that the drinking glass is clean because a cold virus can spread.
CE has updated the email newsletter to keep you all informed. Stay tuned!
Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware
this Deli on sixth avenue. CE and Mrs. CE stopped in to purchase some water and were clearly treated like tourists. We purchased two bottles of water (rather expensive) the cost came to $4.50 I handed the gentleman behind the register a $20 bill he proceeded to give us back $5.50.

Explanation here soon
Welcome back to caveatemptorbuyerbeware. In the days to follow, CE will explore this topic.
As we commence and then speed through the new year CE will be raising a few Ethical concerns. I. You are done and there are still a few sheets left. Do leave the roll as is, or do you replace it?
For some reason as 2016 draws to a close and we reflect on the events of the year past, the first line of the Star Spangled Banner keeps coming to mind.
“Oh, say, can you see? By the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;”
Let’s raise a glass to the year gone by and toast the year to come, and let’s be careful out there.
See you in 17’

CE has been asked by several of his colleagues and clients to comment on the election. so without further ado here goes ____________ ( your choice for fill in the blank)
Prior to the election CE was clear in his comments and voiced a cautionary tale that should have raised our readers Caveatemptorbuyerbeware antennas. But alas the people have spoken and CE will take a wait and see approach to see how the Trump Organization shapes the first 100 days of the new administration. Is there another choice? NO. Certainly the protestors have a right to protest but to what end? The Republicans and Democrats will have another chance to go at it in less than 2 years when the Congress is up for reelection. Until then, we wish, hope and anticipate that President-elect Trump and his administration take reasonable and measured steps in the days and months ahead, and that the vitriol of the election process is behind us.
Shalom/Peace

is it ok if I post this as indicative of what is wrong with america?
From: respondent
Of course it's ok. There are no rules when it comes to complaining
What's the specific issue?
Waste- sanitary-or you wanted onion and none were left ??
From: CE
1) they don't use the untensil
2) they often keep their filthy golf gloves on
3) they don't wash their hands
4) there are pesticides used on the course
5) they get their grubby pesticide covered hands on the bagels cut one in half and throw the other half back in the bin.
Who are these people?
