I'm going completely off topic here for a minute. I am not a member at i but I peruse deals and comments there periodically. Both last night and then today whenever I have gone there, this strange pop up comes up. "Dear AT&T Customer..." Then it tells me that I'm one of 100 who have won something.

The i screen changes to a Customer Reward Program screen and I can't get back to i without opening a new tab. And generally speaking, I am only able to have it open for a minute or two before this happens again. It is the ONLY website I am getting this strange message on.

I am guessing this is a scam. The web link is extremely long and comes from xyzinnovations.xyz/ I might think this was something more valid IF it didn't only happen when I go to i and I could find more information about this company. We do have our internet via AT&T.

Does anyone else who visits i have this coming up? I know erica used to be on SD, but I haven't seen her in a long time as a poster. Anyone have an email for her to check in with her on it?

At the moment, I'm not sure if I wanted to join i I could stay on their site long enough to figure out how to join them without this coming up.
I also browse her site. I signed up for Disqus but I've never posted. I just went on there and I got this big pink box on the right side of my screen. There was some weird stuff on my screen last week or the week before but I forget what it was.

If SD would allow rebate talk I'm pretty sure that the threads would get jumping again. What's the reason for no rebate talk on SD? Unfortunately (for me at least) rebates are the future. You can't have a couponing site without talking about rebates.

It's really only the one site that can't be named.

It's because SD sees it as a competitor, because both of them have an extension to track your purchases online and offer a rebate. It's sad not only because activity would pick up, but also because the SD extension is definitely not as good.

When I am shopping online, the SD version generally is paying 20 - 30% less. In addition, you can only collect from the SD version when you hit higher thresholds than the other site and since the other site also allows you to collect from rebate style purchases, it is easier to earn enough to pull your monies faster there. One final comparison between the two, the other site offers MANY more options for cashing out your credits.

I have not signed up for i heart for a number of reasons. I'm simply hoping to find a way to reach out to erica to report the issue to her. I feel like a few weeks ago I saw someone commenting on an ad that took over the site for them. It didn't happen to me at the time, but she said she was going to turn it off, it was simply a way for her to help earn money to keep the site up. Maybe this is intentional on her part, and maybe only those like myself who have not signed up get the weird ad. Or maybe I really could have won something (haha, not!)

I actually was asking why it's not allowed to mention the rebate sites on here. It seems like you need a deal site and a rebate site although it would make sense for one site to have everything. I don't really know what I'm talking about (I just set butter up lol). Rebates are outside of my wheelhouse.

It's so annoying. I'm trying to watch UFC and they keep on playing this Cologuard commercial every 5 seconds that is so bad that I have to mute the volume and change the channel. Then I come on here and forget that I'm watching UFC. There are two really good fights on the the main card. I'm surprised that the main event isn't a ppv. I'm team Alexa but I have no idea who's going to win.

Nothing weird happens when I go to iheartriteaid.com (on my laptop). There is a web form for emailing her, but it looks like maybe [email protected] might work to email directly. Rite Aid is the only one I regularly visit, but I tried iheartcvs.com, too, with nothing weird happening. Contact link from that page looks like it goes to [email protected]. Good luck figuring it out with nothing bad happening!

Same thing happening to me but it's Frontier that I'm getting pop up commerials/offers for. Must be an issue with ericas site.

Yep. Should be a good week. I have BCC for Listerine and Softsoap that should fit together nicely for one easily planned and profitable (especially with the currently available Listerine rebates!) $50 transaction. Looks like there's more to be had, too. I have kind of a dud little Rite Aid that doesn't even carry a lot of the stuff other people make money on. Never get cats or mailers, very rarely get the extra emailed coupons other folks do and am hesitant to use screenshoted posts of them. So I don't go as crazy over it as some folks do, but I do play hard enough to recognize that next week holds a lot of promise. Happy shopping!

The Listerine deal looks great especially with the $1.50 cats and the early $1 mq's. I got a lot of SS this week so I'm passing on it next week unless I need a filler. I'm planning on doing Listerine with the P&G deal. The Duracell deal should be a $10 mm which will give me a cushion for the other deals. I'm not sure what else I'm going to do. Listerine/P&G/Duracell will keep me busy enough. Oh, there's the Pepsi deal but I don't want the big bottles. I'd rather pay more and get the 6-pack of 16 oz bottles but I've never seen them at RA and they're listed in the ad. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough lol.

I still have to close out my cards at CVS. I did a lot last night but I still have a lot to do. It's crazy getting everything for free at RA but paying full price at CVS for the same thing. I'm going to walk down the aisles at CVS and throw a bunch of junk into my cart and figure it out at the register. It doesn't matter what I get because everything at CVS is going to be a crappy deal. I just want out. The RA deals can't go on forever so I'm going to do as much as I can the next 3 weeks. We've got a 15/ 50 this week and in-ad BC coupons for the following 2 weeks.

Some other things. I'm wondering if the Dove 2-pack deo deal will DD with the monthly Dove deal. Schick could be interesting with the $9.99 sale price and monthly deal. I wish that it was a penny more. RA always does this. Halls cough drops as a filler 2/5 and get 2. Nature's Truth Vitamin E with the 3/2. I'll look at the Scunci deal but I'm not sure if I'll do it. Monthly A&H deal also bogo free. 6 Spinbrushes but the $9.99 price will put you 3 cents short. I might get Lays instead of Halls. Look for Vicks Severe cough drops on clearance for $1.32. The $2 L2C works on 2 of them. The cough drops work very well but are super strong. You're only going to take them if you really need to. I'm sure that I'm missing stuff. I'm not up on the monthly deals other than the obvious ones like Dove, A&H, and Schick.

Wow, around half of my lab tests come back out of range and I've never had the red stuff. It begs the question - if covid is such a big deal, why are they sending you home???

Are you a tough stick? Unfortunately, I am, too. My record is 5 sticks to get the blood to come out. Then I bruise up because of the blood thinner. The tape is the worst part. One time I took the tape off and my skin came off with it. It's no big deal. You get used to it. I used to be very depressed about all of the ugly bruises all over my hands and arms but now I don't care. it's ok if I look like a zombie. I must say that being off of the blood thinner for 3 weeks now has made my hands are arms look almost normal. I don't cut when I just brush against something anymore. It feels really good. I'm sure that I'll get yelled at and ordered to go back on the blood thinner when I see my doctor on Monday. I'm going to refuse unless they either put me in the hospital or the ER when they give it to me. I'm afraid that I'm going to die. When I had the one pill last Monday (or was it the week before?) I had multiple episodes where I couldn't breathe. Nothing is as bad as not being able to breathe (well, maybe some things are but thank God that I haven't experienced them). The worst part is that it happened in the hospital and they didn't do anything for me. They sent me home. I said in an earlier post that I may have to see a psychologist over it. Your mind goes into a panic but there's nothing you can do. It all depends on if it stops or not and if it doesn't that's it. ​
I think a positive covid being red is more of a big deal for the staff to see it and then avoid the patient as much as feasibly possible. And then to get said patient out of the building as if at all possible; as long as they are not dying. Let them come back if they get worse; but of course they don't tell you to come back if you get worse as they've pretty much stopped coming into your room and talking to you at this point.

Yes, many blood takers cannot find my veins. With your cardiac problems, I'm guessing you've had at least one blood gas test done. At least that's what I think it was called years ago when I actually had a panic attack but the ER needed to rule out a heart attack. Anyway, apparently this is a special draw and it had to be done in the wrist area. The regular worker couldn't get it so a nurse anesthetist was brought in. He was brutal. Kept jabbing me over and over with the same needle that kept getting less and less sharp. I finally told him he needed to use a new needle and he got it on the next jab. My wrist was so bruised and was full of small scabs from the dull needle jabs.

And they don't use the tape here anymore. They cover the jab with a wad of gauze and then wrap that with a long strip of gauze that starts as a roll and they wrap it around the arm several times and tuck in the end. You should ask about this or suggest it if they haven't heard of it. Works nicely and nothing will stick to your skin.

And yes, I know about having trouble breathing. With my COPD my oxygen saturation is usually between 90 and 92% and was down to 87% when I was tested in the hospital so I'm often wheezing even without covid. And one of my medications tends to lower my pulse and when that gets down close to 40 bpm my breathing is very hard.. That's when I try not to do any walking for fear of falling. I just take breaths as I'm able and try moving my arms and legs around to try and bring my pulse up. If that doesn't work, I just wait until it passes, usually within an hour or two.

My pulse dropped down to 24 when I was in the hospital the last time. My oxygen is usually at 100% but I still have the breathing problems. I've heard the term blood gas but I don't know what it means. They use the troponin level to gauge if you've had a heart attack. A reading of over 100 indicates that you've probably had one. I had a reading of 3700 on my first heart attack. I don't know how I'm still here.

I only visit that site when my husband is traveling somewhere with a CVS and that hasn't been for several weeks now. And this worries me as I'm paranoid as my husband's personal computer got hit with some virus earlier in the week and all he gets is a black screen when unlocking it. I'm so careful not to get a computer virus; but then I was for covid, too. Our computer guru, aka our son who actually works in cyber security, has been unavailable as he's been traveling for work and now with covid I don't want him around us or any of our stuff. Of course, he can't believe his dad had this happen and told him to 'keep his hands off of the computer' until he can take a look at it.

Good luck getting an answer to your problem and hopefully your pc didn't get infected.

Wow! I don't think my pulse has ever gone that low or if it had I was probably too out of it to even think to test.

And yes, the lower pulse seems to make breathing more of a problem for me than the oxygen saturation.

I never heard of a troponin level but I had this happen probably close to 40 years ago. Heart was okay; it was just a panic attack. And I've never had another one so that was good.
