Yeah, I only really found one link, but it was unavailable. Saw a couple of other stories while googling that I remember. UGH--sickening

I always tell DH that we are going to have the cool house so that all the kids will want to come play here. I agree 100% with your ways. All sleepovers will be at our house and hopefully most of the playing will be done here too. I can remember which houses I wanted to go play at (especially in the high school years!) cause their parents weren't home or just didn't care.
Not happening with my children!!!

Ok so I posted my story and went to bed. This morning I see responses and I realize I shouldn't have posted that like I did, Ok so that's the end of my novel....off to have my morning coffee!
Must not post and go to bed! LMAO

I appreciate your posts - even the scary ones! I know there is a lot to be afraid of out there and it's a tough balancing act to not over-protect and still allow creative freedom... most kids turn out ok despite our actions - I just feel horrible for those who don't have parents that care enough to even want to over-protect, kwim? Here's to all the moms (and dads) on this board!!! It's obvious we all care enough to make the effort to save a few bucks to help make our families lives a little easier - couponing isn't always the easiest or the most fun (at least not for me, remember, I hate shopping!) But the proofs in the pudding (and the Sobe, and the Softsoap, and the Kashi... LMAO ).


I'm jealous of your coffee morning...."Why?", you ask? Because the sun is shining in a clear blue sky but the electricity in my neighborhood is out so I can't even make myself a cup of joe while I read aimlessly on my laptop - outside, in the clear of day. Undoubtedly some nearby workers cut a line somewhere... EEK! . Good thing I don't need to blowdry my hair to go to work today! I'll be here studying again for my CIA exam... judging from my math last week I need to put in as many study hours as I can!!! Teehee.

Ok, I'm all confused about what the heck you yahoos are talking about.laugh out loud

In other news... found out today I'm having a girl.
Congrats...took me 4 tries heart


We live in the country. My kids *could* easily play outside by themselves. We even have a fenced in yard. My 13 year old rolls his eyes when they go outside and I open the windows to I can see and hear them. I say, what if a snake bites you or you fall and hit your head and can't cry for help. He thinks I'm a total psycho.
My sister caught the bus with a little boy , Justin Turner. He didn't catch the bus one morning. Police drained my parents pond and searched his parents house and camper. Nothing...

Then a few days later, searched the camper again. Found his strangled, molested body in the same camper they searched a few days earlier! They think he had been frozen or something because his body was very cold and well preserved. Step mom was person of interest...best part....to this day NO ONE has been arrested and it's been over 20 years Mad

The bad part about being divorced is that the oldest goes to his Dads and has one helluva time. He gets to do whatever he wants and no amount of bickering with Dad will change, he just skirts around it. He wants to be his "friend".

When he remarried, his new wifey stepped waaay over her stepmom boundaries. My son came home a few years ago and said he tried a Jeigerbomb with her while Daddy was at work (Red Bull and Jeigermeister) He was 8 years old.

WHAT?! Here I was 9 months pregnant and opened a huge can of whoop a$$ on her. I also went to jail. For future reference, it is illegal to threaten someones life over the telephone. It is literally called "Misuse of the telephone". Also for future reference, jail is the sucks. I love living in a small town though. Some old high school buddies who worked at the detention center got me up for the next bond hearing and I was out in a few hours, but damn that was nasty. vomit

Still fighting the good fight, but he hates being here cause "I'm like a warden"

hug hug You may be the warden now, but years from now when he is an adult, you will be the one he is thanking. And it will be your guidance he uses as a tool in raising his own children. For the record, my jail time would have been more than a few hours because what I would have done would have been in person. Pity the fool that would have given my 8 year old alcohol Angry

4BB, I would be spending some hard time behind bars had that been me. Reaper

Oh, yeah, I started my pee-ing in a jug. It just doesn't get any better than this.

I am supposed to go to the dentist at 11 for a cleaning. They just sent me a bill from Sept of 08 that says I owe $471. I had a full onlay as I had a filling go bad and the tooth cracked. They got pre-approval for the onlay and I paid over $500 at the time for the portion that insurance wouldn't cover. Now 9 mos later they are telling me that insurance only covered $181 of my treatment. Trust me I would NOT have had that treatment done here had I known that I would pay nearly $1000 oop for it. I would have most certainly gone to Mexico. Now, I get to bark at my insurance and figure out what exactly the dentist had pre-approved. The dental office stated that insurance didn't cover it because it was procelein. I am more than slightly Annoyed Thinking about cancelling my cleaning because I do not want to even see those asshats right now.

so annoyed. Was finally able to print a fresh batch of Kraft Qs (bbq, mayo, etc.) and didn't notice until after they printed that my ink was running out so they are unusable Head Bang Doh

I loathe the dentist and the billing dept at the dentist. Really. We go through the same shit with our's every time we have something done. For what the insurance company actually pays, it isn't worth the premiums shake head

Any further news on our Ponds-to-Fandango bucks? I know I used a couple this last weekend with no problem, but I haven't heard about anyone using any since then.

Ugh, all these stories are about making me vomit and Crying at the same time.

4Busy, you rock, is all I can say. "Misuse of the telephone"-- that is rich. Rofl2 Sorry, I know it wasn't funny at the time, but I'd say that's a perfectly appropriate use of the telephone. nod

Oh, and we recently had our own sad case here which made the national news. You all may have read about him; they called him the "Angel Baby" b/c the body was found buried in a park but no one knew who he was for quite some time. I couldn't even bring myself to read the stories. Sadwalk Hundreds of people showed up to the funeral and were saying "He was loved." Where were they when the mom was suffocating him??? (OK, now I'm Crying again. Must stop.)

I woke at 6 and then I've basically slept on and off since 8 this morning. I am exhausted. I need to get to the bank and the grocery but have no energy and need to be close to this st00py potty for my fun fun collection.

I was just able to use Ponds to Fandango codes to purchase tickets to Star Trek tonight. I still have most of my codes, since I don't have much time to go to the movies. I guess I will start having to make time. Are some people having problems with these codes? I thought about giving some away to my children's friends and families, but I wouldn't want anyone to have problems with them.

I know another user posted that all of hers and a relative's were canceled/invalid. Fandango said they were purchased fraudulently. I have A LOT of these and when she questioned if my codes were good, I checked them. Well, I didn't check them all, but I did check several of my most recently redeemed codes. They were all valid at that time for $10. Not sure if they're catching up on all of them or what. Just crossing fingers that mine remain valid!

Me too. I checked mine a few days ago when I read that post and they look good for now. I 've only seen one movie with them, so if they vanish it won't be a big deal...but it's nice to know they're there if needed. One thing may be be an alert is the amount. Anything over 500.00 usually is a flag. Under that amount seems to not be looked at.

Dito!


I do remember someone posting that their codes were canceled a while back, but I hadn't heard of anyone else since. I know I turned all mine into Fandango at least a few months or so before the October deadline (when the Ponds ticket said it had to be used by). I think as soon as I redeemed my Ponds codes I turned them into Fandago bucks right away and didn't wait if I remember correctly, so it would have been more the end of July or so. Whatever the deadline to enter ponds codes was is when I got my Fandango bucks. I also did mine in a few days and didn't do any after that.

I thought the person who posted that their codes got cancelled redeemed much nearer to the end of the October deadline, and that they had also redeemed some a few months back. So at least for the last of their codes they would have redeemed the Ponds codes by the July (?) deadline, but didn't turn them into Fandango bucks right away. Maybe Ponds had figured something out close to the end, and went to see who recently redeemed a lot?? Not sure, but I hope mine stay alright.

Where is the post you read? The post I saw was several months ago, I haven't seen the recent post.
