Quote from teenbean :
I'm stalking a pool at target. the 18x52" one. dang thing is still full price - according to the scanner. Plus this store is super organized, so I know if it was supposed to be clearance they would have marked it. I showed my youngest dd the pool and she says "mommy I will drowned in that." she is right, she can't swim yet so she would have to wear a lifevest. I'm not even sure why I want that large of a pool, I don't even take care of my little 30 inch pool very well.
I was stalking pools too.. Now, I have ended up with 2 of them. I have the 16x42(I think) and the size smaller than that. Got them both at 75% off.. Found the smaller one one week for 49.xx and then last week the bigger one for 74.xx so I had to get it. Still need to return the small one. I can't wait to set it up next summer bounce

Quote from slowtech :
today's alien encounters- swiffer products, namely swiffer dusters and swiffer sweep and vac.

question of the day- how do you dust? answer- with a feather duster. alien- but it will get dirty. me- that's why you use a disposable one. out comes a swiffer duster.
Ahh, my DH is very good with the swiffer vac and the dusters.. Maybe he needs to give yours a lesson LMAO


Been a good day so far.. Got up and went to get a pedicaure this morning. It was a nice treat before work.. Been at work the rest of the day but it isn't too busy. My DS flew into town for a visit today.. so good to see him Smilie

gg- how far away are you from time sq in driving time? and are you north, south, east or west? i know it would be very tiring but would you consider taking the train in? once you got in we could do taxis. i could maybe even borrow dh's grandma's wheelchair. all buses now kneel in nyc so you and me could do a day of it if you were up to it. i don't think tm4d is here on the wknd but if were around my mom's or mil's bday, it's possible i could get dh to drive Evil.

today's alien encounters- .....
going to nyc sounds like SO MUCH FUN.

3.5 - 4 hrs. which under normal circumstances would be nothing. i drove around that much all the time. but right now, where i can't even sit in a chair with my legs down, trains and buses and cars are hard to do even for 10 mins. Frown

now my right hip has gotten really sore from trying to walk on crutches yesterday. may i say that i just want to cry? i just want to cry. everything hurts.

i can't breathe cos of chest pain. i can't stand or sit cos of my left knee. now i can't even walk with crutches without incredible pain in both left knee and right hip and right shoulder and right arm. FED UP.

pain clinic tomorrow. i hope they have an answer that's better than the suggestion of narcotics or tricyclic antidepressants to numb the brain. i really don't want either of those. i don't want to walk around like a zombie. i don't want the side effects. and, i can't even take opioids, so those are out anyways. bah humbug. Heaven always has a bigger, better plan for us, right? I can't see the sense or the plan here. But I am trying to trust.

================================================

laugh out loud on the alien encounters! i LOVE these stories. laugh out loud

Attaching a picture my sister took of the road outside the school where she teaches. That flooding submerged an entire park & ride. Took my hubby 4 hours to get home from DC, due to roads being closed everywhere from flooding. I'm just glad he's home safe. Our county's schools are closed tomorrow, but our school (which is private) is still open. Not sure if they will still have the Chuck E Cheese field trip for the kindergarteners, though. Not looking forward to that conversation!!!

that walmart thread is just so entertaining! today they were asked to put their money where their mouth is and post a picture of the toothbrush w/ cws package they were all using the 7.00cws q on so we could all take a look and decide for ourselves if the coupon was being applied appropriately.

you could hear the crickets chirping all day.

I know I shouldn't have provoked..but couldn't help myself. lol..If that had been a complete newbie buying it, they would have been seriously torched. AND since she just knew it was the correct item, I didn't see any reason why she would NOT want to post a picture to prove it. So she used the wrong cpn on an item, admit it was a 'mistake' and move on. But apparently that was/is not going to happen. You can't be right ALL the time. LMAO

Absolutely hate when they say that. You're not giving anything away for free!!!! The manufacturer is paying you twice even. They get the price of the coupon plus 8 cents. They could actually make more. Granted 8 cents doesnt seem like a lot but consider how many coupons they redeem.

That whole concept burns my toast. I am in now way taking money out of your pocket by using coupons. if the maker of a product is willing to try to influence my buying habits by providing me a free or discounted product I'm sure there's a valid reason for why they want to do this. Maybe they want to increase their marketshare, maybe its a new product and they want word of mouth advertising, maybe they made too many in August. I don't care what their reason is but coupons benefit my bottom line and the stores bottom line as well if they could just maintain a good inventory and accept coupons in the manner the manufacturer intended.

I hop'd in there, ..i think i should visit quite often..

Partly my DH is like yours, always have to spoon-speed him, always instruct him exactly what to do..even then Confused most times No
I can't really trust him to do grocery shopping...
we just brought our my ds#2 home and my mom gave dh the grocery list and when he return, it was to find the bruised tomatoes, little rotten onion and some of the veggies were really started to rot....
when i asked dh, he says that i would get upset if i didn't buy the item from list?ConfusedEEK!
I.ALWAYS.do the grocery shopping...

Yesterday I had my followup knee appointment, I have mild degerative joint disease, artritis and condromalacia.. looks it got little bad and he gave me steroid shot in the knee, i am still in much pain after the shot then i was before the shot.. called and spoke with the nurse, she said it is pretty for 2 days and i should start to feel better then...

i couldn't help myself either! laugh out loud

the silence speaks volumes! and the rush to post a picture of the product, not! you know in target deals, pics usually go up w/in the hour. it's been almost 24.

i was going to dissect tipper's target deal pic but i decided to just let the silence speak for itself. no need to start a war.

and you have to wonder about somebody who pretty much knows all the LP personnel and DM's at all the stores they go to. there comes a point when they are not the problem and you are, when there is such an overwhelming majority that has a problem w/ you.

everybody will try to get away w/ something once in awhile or take advantage of a situation in their favor. just admit it instead of trying to convince everyone you are always in the right. b/c you cry wolf too many times and i won't believe anything you say anymore and i won't be sympathetic to your plight when you are actually correct. or even better, just keep your trap shut when you are trying to pull a fast one. why this need to constantly brag???

Slowtech---we use a Soleus dehumidifier, it replaced our 2 year old Whirlpool. We love it! We wanted the 70 pint one but it was out of stock and store convinced us that we only would need the larger one for the short term and then it would be a huge overkill so we went with the 45 pint. It's super quiet for a dehumidifier(certainly compared to that tank the Whirlpool) and you can run it on continuous until it gets to the humidity level you want and then just maintain. It had great reviews, doesn't freeze up like the Whirlpool piece of junk and we love it.

Bolded above was exactly my thoughts as well. lol
So you did it and got away with it, for goodness sake's don't post about it on here.
And I guess what got me was that the OP, with all her supposed 'law' and LP knowledge knew very well what she was doing. What she does is her business until she posts about it on here. I, for one, am loving WM cpn policy and would like to see it stay this way for awhile.
I really just wanted to hear her 'reasoning' for why it was ok. Cause I am sure it would have been a bunch of BS.
