Have you heard anything Meesh? I am sending thoughts! My Dad has lived all his life with an irregular heart beat & murmur ... now that he is old he will get tachycardia & crazy palpatations that will last several days and they have to shock his heart back to a regular sinus. I guess the bad news is that the Cardiologist has said eventually this treatment will stop working - but for the moment it works for a while. He says the palpatations are so bad/painful they make one short of breath, dizzy, etc. Have no idea why I babbled on about this really .... Sending thoughts hope your DH is home safe & sound VERY SOON!

I had a heart murmur when I was little and seizures... so my parents ingrained in me how important it is to care for yourself... He told me today he gaspes for air when he goes through it.. It scares the heck out of me Frown Thanks for all the positive vibes... hopefully I will get another email from him Smilie

I am glad he has some way to communicate with you!!!!

Ok - you are Grad students & parents to 7 in 7 so it goes without saying that there is stress --- is he under an unusual amount right now? That can send BP way up --- what about caffeine intake? That can also drive it up .... then there are various meds/supplements/foods etc which can exacerbate the prob ... Man I hope they get back to him soon! Having super high BP (in addition to be bad for you) can give you one god awful headache!!!!

Did you grow out of the murmur? I think my GP's were hoping my Dad would grow out of his --- never did. He has always had to take care of his health - but his has always required meds ... they have changed over the 75+ years he has been alive but he has always had to take his meds. I remember being on vacation down in Cornwall and my Dad realized he had left his meds back SEVERAL hours on the M1 at home in Coventry --- he went into a druggist and was able to explain the situation ---- and was able to get enough meds to get him through the weekend (it was of course Friday after 5pm) until Mon when the doc could call in a prescription down there. Those memories from childhood that stick eh?

Hope you hear soon!

Yes we are both grad students... I am working on my MBA and PhD in business while he is in Pharmacy school... stress can be crazy and I feel like I can never get enough time... oh well LOL Yes I grew out of my heart murmur thankfully... they claim it just initally was not closed up so I guess I am good to go now Smilie OMG I could only imagine driving that far away and realizing that you forgot your meds..., that is crazy... my dad was probably born during the same time period as your dad.. my dad is turning 75 this year. Oh god I hope your dad will live a fulfilled life even with his heart Smilie Yep the memories from when you were little can drive you nuts a little especially the scary ones... I remember being in third grade bringing home chicken pots home and my mom never had them and they went into her lungs and she was in intensive care for 10 days from chicken pots..crazy!?!

Dec 12th is that your b-day?? That is my oldest brother's birthday Smilie hug

Wow, lots been going on lately. Looks like I missed stuff in the last couple of days.

Good Vibes to everyone, on babies, job hunting, heart murmors (must take care of yourself, my ex didn't grow out of his, drank and smoked too much) and passed away in Dec at age 50 from heart failure due to his murmor they said (and his not taking care of himself)

Trang & DS, envie only went out a couple of days ago.. Sorry Frown long story, but to make it short, forgot you have to lift that little thingy up on the mail boxes when you're out in the country... duh...so mail sat there till I drove down to friends again.. (they have all there mail held cause their in LA for 2 months) and seen it still in the mail box... EEK!
Took it to the Post office this time.

Had a couple of good runs in while I'm down, tonight found some of the single fusions on for $2.24 so grabbed 9 of them used 2/1 mfq (have no idea where it came from) and those $4 TQ was on them and the cashier peeled them all off and started to scan them and wondered why they beeped... I didn't say a word, she K1ed, only thing was that I had to hold back Q's cause I didn't want to go too low oop.

Also did a KM run, I'm not sure what happened there, but it was a STC get the HECK out of here run... I had figured oop would be $20 or so, had a pair of runners for my GD in there. Cashier was wonderful, she looks at the screen and says do you want me to continue with the last 3 coupons - I said of course why not? She said well your total so far is .17 cents. EEK! I was dumbfounded. I told her no you can give those back to me.

She said you just made my day!! I was like WTF happened. The guy behind me asks, do you have any coupons for me to use.. I looked at his flatbed cart, he had some kind of bookcase on it, I asked him, is that over $100, he said yup, I said have a nice day and gave him a $10/100.

He was shocked I had one, and thanked me, I just told him to have a nice night. He met up with me in the parking lot and then said, are you on SD? OMG I said huh, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

He said him and his wife used to go on this site called SD and they did great with coupons but had stopped for the last couple of years.. Told me though after watching what I just "scored" was his words, he's telling his wife they are going back on SD...

So wave if you're reading, but I couldn't blow my cover.. shake head

Still looking at the receipt to see why it went so low. It even deducted from the tax owed, which has never happened to me before.

hug to all - Have a great long weekend!!!

I have only ever told one person about SD. It was a mom shopping at K during doubles. She looked like she was doing pretty well with q's, and had a bunch of printables. I looked both ways down the aisle and then whispered...she probably thought I was a Ninja - felt like a super covert operation!

Me too woot !!

Quote from doublesided :
Don't hurt me. Was traveling. Walked by a VS secret and paid full price for a bra. Honestly I never have time to do anything, my bras are all falling apart (bought them at the same time over 5 years ago) and target sucks for bras in my teeny weeny size.
Bras are important implements, girlie - even with "teeny weeny" ones! Go get yourself a few - even if ya have to spend some $ - order on-line if you have to! I'm probably kinda weird about taking care of "the girls" since when in my 20s, "a few" years ago, a friend got breast cancer at age 20 and had to have both removed. I treat them like gold - they used to be teeny weeny but over the past couple of years I've put on a few pounds and they're not so tiny anymore. I have always worn a bra to sleep (those super stretchy t-shirt bras) and have probably 30 bras that I rotate in my drawer. Not a stretch mark or droop to be found on this 40+ body! Besides that, a good fitting bra can do wonders for your self-esteem and help make you feel like you look good, even when you're feeling worn to crap - like you must have felt over the last year or so dealing with DS stuff. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on about bras or boob care laugh out loud .

Quote from mofome :
I went to Cheeseburger in Paradise for dinner tonight with a friend. I'm a big parrothead and they sent me a bogo coupon for my bday, so I figured it was a good time to try it (it was an hour drive). Attached a pic of my drink - woohoo! Cheers
Gotta get me one of those big frothy drinks!! Yum-O!

Quote from Thrifty-n-SoCal :
Had a craptastical run today. As I'm checking out DH texts me "boob alert". I guess LJ was a little hungry. I hadn't been gone for more than an hour and fed him before I left. Have some pumped in freezer but DH said he'd hold him off til I got there. Oh and my kid gained 20 oz in 2 weeks. He's now 7 lbs 12 oz. He's a freaking chow hound!
Sorry for your crappy run today but LMAO on the "boob" alert!! Yeah for kiddo weight gain!

Quote from sbhiggins :
Car trouble has sidelined me yet again. Grrrrr! No ice cream for me. . .Sadwalk

Good news is that DH went to go look at a "new" old car for me tonight. Hopefully the peeps selling won't sell it to someone else before we can get it checked out. Yay for having a car w/air conditioning.
I can so relate!! I hate car troubles!!! Hopefully I won't have to worry about that for a long while again with the new Rav. By the way, with all the troubles I was having with Lexi, after my last repair I switched to Shell premium gas and I can't tell you all what a difference it has made!! I was using Mobil 4ever and thought that was the bomb - until someone mentioned Shell and I was like, ok, I'll try it.... this car is 10 years old and drives better now than it has in years!! Hopefully it will last a few more years for my DS!

Quote from Devilmomma :

Don't know about deals, but do know there was a q for $4 off Opti Free in a recent insert (maybe 2 weeks ago).
Need to find that one too!! I don't wear contacts but I promised I'd find one of my friends some contact solution for her kid - I know there is a Renu trial size for $1.57 or so and a $1.50 MQ - not even sure if they're expired or not - will have to check that out before I add it to my next list.....

Quote from meeshecat :
Stressing out tonight... we were out for quite awhile today @ Target and my husband has been having heart pulpations (sp) so we got home and he was going to go study (he is a Pharmacy student) and he went to school and called and told me he is going to the hospital as his pulpations are happening more frequently...
Hope all is well with DH!! Can they switch meds?? Yikes on palpitations!!

Quote from sungoddess7 :
Oh, and can I just add that I want to Bonk some people in the deals thread?
I'm right there, next in line!!!

Yeah for you and SD - LOL!! Yesterday I was shopping with a friend and after she checked out she had a little bit of a different experience. Some woman grabbed her arm as she walked out of the store and said "I saw what you did - I was in the cafe and watched your total go from over $300 down to less than $100 and you need to tell me how you did that". My friend is like, WTF?? She didn't know if she was security or what so she just said she spends a lot of time watching sales and clipping coupons.

Then she grabs my friend's cart and STOPS HER and demands that my friend tell her "how you did that" - My friend was scared to death and she says, "go read the book". I would have been like, "let me go, bitch" - and wouldn't have said a word about the Qs! WTF??? She was scared to death - it's not like we were in some ghetto T either - but this woman was GEH-TO!!!

Yeah on your great run!! Despite the run-in with that crazy lady, both my friend and I had nice STC runs too - I didn't calculate right either and had to hold back a couple of Qs. Really it's because they were out of a PC game I was going to get for my son and I forgot to factor that in - oops!

These are not necessarily different than the ones we already have, but there were $10 and $5 Leapster coupons linked from coupons.com here [leapfrog.com]

And someone in the Deals thread posted a $1/2 M&Ms TQ here [target.com]

YAY for new old cars! My 92 van just wasn't doing it for me anymore..it needed brake lines, brake pads, the a/c stopped working, it needed tires...about 1K of work...i only paid 1K for it lol! So thursday when I was driving down the road I saw a 02 Grand Am at a mechanic shop for sale...I stopped and offered them 2200 cash and they accepted! YAY! It needs some little things, I had to replace all the bulbs and fuses for the drivers side because it was in an accident at some point and all that was blown, I had to get windshield wipers, and have to get the drivers window fixed because the motor is burned out. I also need passenger mirror glass and my gas gauge is broke...BUT it is waaaay nicer than my van was so I am HAPPY! Good luck on your "new" car!
