Rent-A-Center — Local services in Kaufman

Brad and I will be Grand Marshals at this year's San Diego Pride Parade, and we were looking for just the right touch to add a bit of pizazz to our appearance. So when we stumbled across the PASSION NATURAL WATER BASED LUBRICANT - 55 GALLON drum, we felt we'd struck gold: "Just enough volume to soak an entire parade of spectators, and yet fits easily in our float." Double win.

Now, how to spray the lube on the excited on-lookers? Why, by water pump gun, of course. To test out our delivery mechanism, we purchased a drum for our back yard and set up a slip and slide. I had Brad charge toward me down the slide, and I fired at will. It helped to imagine he was a Klingon Bird of Prey: Target that explosion and FIRE.

What I didn't expect was that Brad's forward momentum would cause him to crash into me, upending the entire drum along with us. Utter chaos. Our unfortunate cats, who had come out to judge our activities as cats will, were caught in the deluge. Looking like drowned rats, they howled and sped around the yard in hysterical circles, then tried for ten minutes to climb a tree.

Once again, the neighbors thought we'd set something on fire, so the LAFD arrived shortly afterwards. Try explaining any of this to a stranger, especially a hunky one in uniform. "Hose me down?" I offered. He kindly did, then retrieved our cats out of the tree with only minor scratches to the face. (They still aren't speaking to us, by the way.)

Bottom line, we decided against soaking the Pride Parade revelers lest it create an "incident" that could upstage us entirely. But we do have a great new weekend...

This is gonna be a big one. I've bought from RAC since it was Colortyme, years and years. I made a huge mistake when I decided I'd support a new place that came to Terrell tx since we moved to Terrell. Canales Furniture charged us over 2500.00 for a double recliner with console, electric, USB & outlet, etc. It was 1 loveseat. Not with sofa or chair. They gave a percentage off because they're "Grand Opening". We also bought bedroom set, mattress, and mattress bumper, etc. Over 3000.00. They made a mistake in the addition of the contract of over 300.00. We didn't force them to honor it because we wouldn't cheat anyone. Redid the contract and paid the extra money.. After receiving the loveseat. It was horrible. It wasn't the same as the showroom as far as comfort. I'm not sure what they carry there. Maybe factory seconds? All cash and no refunds. All sales final. They never did what they said. They wanted us to be happy. Saying in the end that the Headquarters refused. Unable to use the loveseat we were forced to buy again. Of course I went back to RAC in Kaufman. They've always done me right and gone above and beyond my expectations. They again, did not disappoint!! Thank you all so much for your professionalism and for being a place a community can trust!! DO NOT BUY FROM CANALES FURNITURE!! Special Thanks you to Ms Jennifer Bennett Ross & the...

When I first purchased items, if I needed a day or Ttwo extra days to pay, they were like SURE NO PROBLEM, Once I got like 5 months into paying, I was assigned a new account person, JOE, and suddenly I felt harrased. If he called and you couldnt take the call at work, he would send 2 or 3 text messages ITS URGENT THAT YOU CALL TODAY. The same day it was due! I felt HARRASSED. They called it a 'courtesy call or test'. I KNOW WHEN ITS DUE. I BEEN PAYING 5 MONTHS ALREADY...HELLO?? And now they dont want to work with you... now if you have to pay late they threaten you with REINSTATEMENT FEES. If its not paid the day its due, your contract is actually null and void and we can charge you RESINTATEMENT FEES. I paid off two expensive items with Rent A Center, I never had these problems with them. I only went with Colotyme because I moved over an hour away from RAC. Now I know why they usually have 'returned/used items' on display alot. Because they reposses or customers return stuff cuz they dont like being harrassed! Before my tv and bed set, I paid off two coffee table sets with them, no problem. Seems to me they enjoy people paying 6 months into a contract and picking up the stuff to resell to the next sucker. NEVER AGAIN. TRY CONN'S,THEY ARE EASY TO GET CREDIT WITH. LOW LOW PAYMENTS. MY NEW FURNITURE AND TV IS BEING...
