Mental Meanderings

More ventures with my mother. Krching!

So Mum actually dislikes the name but I think it's pretty cute. Today we went jointly into another venture. We invest from time to time in things jointly both going halves on the outgoing and reaping the benefits in halves too. It works out very well for us in most cases and I expect it will in this too.

Krching is the name of a great business opportunity. It's local to Perth, Western Australia but trades all over the world (except Russia and China apparently) From what I understand it's a great chance to get in on the ground level of a business unlike anything I've ever seen before.

I don't really understand it all too well just yet but I'm learning more and more. From what I do understand we bought opals developed in Australian mines. These are unique Oora Opals that are quite valuable. Not only do you get your opal but you also receive membership placement on a board. You're encouraged to sell opals to two other people and then you get a comission. They are in turn encouraged to sell opals as well and the more you sell the more you make.

It's not just opals either. Krching deal with herbal remedies and travel. As a member we get discounts and points that accumulate and can be used on these products as well as business cards and letterheads etc. Oh and wine. There might be some other products I don't know about yet. Again, the more you sell the more you make.

I sound very exciting and today we saw the beautiful opals a friend had already purchased and received. She was thinking of turning them into jewellery. They were particularly stunning, especially when we went outside and watched the way they captured the sun. Ohhh I had my camera in my bag I should have got a picture. *sighs* Oh well, when I pick up my opals I'll take a photo.

Meanwhile, I'll be looking into everything this business offers and how it all works. The deal sounds very enticing and it took a lot of effort to convince me it wasn't too good to be true. *chuckles* I'm naturally sceptical because my family has gone into lots of 'get rich quick' schemes and been disappointed. This one sounds something altogether different. In a way I guess it's sales but so many people make good money on eBay or trading on the web that it sounds like something I could do.

The opals are enticing too. Australia is lucky to be rich in opal deposits. We ship the precious gems all over the world. In fact opals aren't worth a mint in this country because their rather common but the rest of the world loves our opals. *chuckles* Go figure. I mean I used to have an opal as a child, a natural blue, I can't remember how I got it but reflecting I realise it was probably worth a fair bit of money if I'd had it valued.

Anyway, it's late, wow! really late. Oh, one rant before I go. DAMN AIRCONDITIONER INSTALLER MEN!!! As it grew dark tonight I went to turn on some lights in the house. But the light wouldn't go on. I figured ahh a blown globe so went to get a new one and the kitchen wouldn't go on and the laundry, and the bathroom, and EVERY ROOM's light wasn't working. Nor was the alarm system. Or the bathroom heater/fan. Basically power to everything that goes through the roof is gone.

Strangely all the power points, the wall points still work. So I have TV and computers and alarm clocks, microwave, fridge, etc. all the appliances, just no lights. Apparently they stuffed something up when wiring in the aircon today. *pouts* It was already too late to call them when I realised but I called my step father and after we determined it wasn't just a fuse he took their details and said he'd call them for me in the morning.

They better be over ASAP tomorrow to fix it and if they think they can charge me for that they've got another thing coming. Overall while I LOVE the new aircon I was very displeased with the service. Sure the younger one was cute and it felt nice to be chatted up a little. But that was before my family arrived. He shut up good and proper when the troops got here. And wow, he got stroppy when we insisted on having the unit wall mounted instead of blocking the path between the shed and the house. I mean seriously, it HAD to be mounted because otherwise it blocks the access from front yard to back.

They charge extra for wall mounting which is fair enough but gee you'd think they'd be nice about having to do it, especially since we willing paid the extra. And then he had to charge even more to main wire it to the grounds. So a job that was supposed to cost $440 ended up costing $580. Which was MORE than the actual airconditioner cost. It cost more to install then it did to buy. That's just rediculous.

*sighs* Anyway, this rant turned out more rantish then I'd planned. Basically I'm peeved and won't be recommending these people to my friends. I do however recommend Krching (email me if you want to know more) Which reminds me, I got invited to a Tupperware party. WOOT!! *chuckles* Ok, time for bed. G'night all and have a great day.

PS. The aircon makes me sneeze. What's up with that?
