Target chit chat

A special for Luvs2savemomma too!

Hi to everyone!

I've been spending the last hour or so reading different articles about my hubby's aunt who was in the World Trade Center. I am so sad I never got to meet her (we officially started dating Sept 13, 2001, so I had not met any of his family up to that point), because she was such a beautiful woman, both inside and out. She was a woman of faith who not only believed with all her heart, but also lived it. All the wonderful stories her brothers and sisters have recounted of her paint her as a caring, loving sister who would do anything and everything to make her siblings happy. Even my husband, his favorite memory of her is when he visited her one time, she got up early and went outside and washed his car. Just because. I love every one of his aunts and uncles, and it makes me so sad that I never got to meet the one who meant so much to each of them.

Not to make everyone sad, but I just wanted to share my tiny part of this anniversary. Hubby does not enjoy talking about the events of that day and so I guess I'm sharing with you all just to get it off my chest.

Sorry to hear your story. Did she work in the building? I have no personal connection to anyone there, but did watch it unfold on TV that morning, couldn't tear myself away.

Thank you. I'm making it day by day, sometimes hour by hour.

I'm not really posting, but I do catch up from time to time.

Thanks to everyone who sent their prayers and hugs and posted in response to Hope's passing. This is a great group, and I hope to start posting sometime soon.

thank you hon for your prayers and encouragement.

i dread the thought of another 6-8, however many months of pain and immobility and relearning of every movement, and rebuilding of muscles.

but then i think of the alternative and i am very grateful.

a friend's mother once told me something her Rabbi had taught her, that "hope is the greatest thing we have as humans. without hope, we are nothing, without hope life is nothing"

i often turn to those words in challenging moments in my life. and i remind myself that hope is a reflection of our faith in a greater power that watches over us.

so with hope i travel. and i hope one day soon to tell you guys that i am pain free, and moving, walking, dancing, hiking, biking, rollerblading and running again normally.

d it makes me so sad that I never got to meet the one who meant so much to each of them.

I will leave you all with dd's 1st-day-'o-school pics.....sans her backpack because I forgot to have her put it on for the pics....

....Speaking of which, I entered dd into their new casting call contest

Well, I'll be darned. I've had a little hummingbird off and on for the last half hour. It's drinking from the feeder and perching on it and sitting still. And he's hovering around the window, I swear he's looking in. I guess that's fair, since I'm staring at him... or her.

...I have an appt. with an allergist tomorrow. Yay! I can't wait! I'm so tired of feeling itchy and yucky all the time!

hi guys. i am desperately looking for some rcpts for a rebate. does anyone here have rcpts for heineken or dos equis, please? i don't drink either of those, but am required to send rcpts for those along with grocery rcpts.

1. $10 in ice and/or bottled water AND 2 12packs of heinekin - can be separate rcpts. i would need upcs for the heineken, too. purchase can be between 7/15 and 9/15

2. Rcpt and upcs for 2 12packs of Dos Equis - can be between 5/17 and 9/9

ideas, please? i'd be grateful.

GG - I think nerves are very slow growing and can be very painful when they start mending themselves. I researched this a little bit when my husband got surgery. Right about the time when you recover from the pain of surgery - you can start with the pain of nerves growing back.
In my husband's case -we had him take plenty of vitamin B - and the doctor subscribed neurontin for nerve pain. But it still hurt.

Question, I was using that Merona bottoms coupon tonight, and it beeped on all my items. The coupon is $5, items were mostly $4.48, so this might be the reason for the beep. However my Mossimo sp? coupons adjusted down to the two items I had for $4.48

The Merona is a nice coupon, but does it beep on everything it would be for? Luckily the cashier did K1 at a usually very strict store, I got very lucky and they were closing. I got 6 Merona items, and I didn't care about overage, I would rather the coupon just adjust instead of .52 overage (not worth a beep), one of my items was $2 and some change, so the overage was nice there, but I don't think most of my cashiers are going to K1 that. I thought that I could go to some other stores and look for some nice clothes for gifts, but I hate the beepers. I was doing the Ore-Ida deal, and the Trident so I was trying to get all those coupons together.

Also does the Whisker lickins beep on the Salmon, but not beep on the Chicken? That is what I think I got tonight. Also I think it may have beeped on the hard Tuna ones. The Fancy Feast BOGO said item not there and then made the cashier enter the $1.44 price, so also a PITA. My cat can't have the Chicken anymore (diet she is so sick), so I got her a few Tuna, and Fancy Feast Beef treats, but of course both TQ beeped. Uggg! The Chicken doesn't beep, but my cat can't have that kind, but I have someone who will have 3 very happy cats when she comes over for a grab bag including many Whisker lickins treats. So cute! Of course I am still waiting for my treat MQ coupons to come so I only had a few of those to use, but free is also very good.

Hum what else? Oh yeah the Ore-Ida stuff at my store was $3.39 per bag. So high I only bought 6 bags. The other store had more I got 12 bags, and they were only $2.99 each. The stores around here seem to be re-doing the food sections, and they have less food than they did. One store for sure went from being practically a grocery store, to just having a few rows of food like a regular Target. Anyone else seeing this? Anyone else finding the Ore-Ida for $2.79?

She was on the 97th floor of the first building that was hit. They never found anything to identify her at all, so she almost certainly died on impact. So very sad.

I hate to even ask this, but can one of you Publix peeps give me the low down on what is cheap/free/MM this week... And yes, I looked in the wiki but I'm just a lost cause with Publix lately and I'm not sure what my problem is. I can't keep the yellow flyer, green flyer and weekly ad straight.

I can't keep up with everything these days either.. I do remember reading that the new YAF has a 2.00 off cereal coupon and there are a few kinds that are the correct size and on sale for 2.99.. so with a MQ, ends up being around .50 a box..

I personally don't remember seeing anything I just "had to have" when I looked at this weeks sale. I am gonna use some RC I have from last week and that is probably it..

But, I haven't read thoroughly, so maybe TN or sunshinemom can chime in here soon and give us any other good deals
