Haha

I started a new medicine this week that has some not-so-pleasant side effects. I've never been more thankful to be single! My body always hates me for the first few weeks of a new medicine, it's almost unbearable.

Good grief, this feels like middle school again.
It does, doesn't it! Almost like cyber-bullying!

Confused I don't think they knew it was a joke, and besides they don't post in general anyway.LMAO

A lot doesn't even know where the TCC thread is. I wouldn't have known it was a joke if I didn't read both threads.

That is the beauty of Virtual Box. No matter what you do to it, it's a completely separate machine that runs on your desktop. You can do whatever you like to it, and it won't affect your regular machine at all. If you mess up your virtual machine, just format it and start over. It's kinda cool how I have Linux running on my laptop, but can pull up a window on my desktop and run XP. At least I think so.

I'm going to try setting up another virtual machine, to see if I can run 2 (and potentiality more) "machines" at once. That's my plan for tonight, right now I am making ice cream cone cupcakes for our potluck at work tomorrow.
I'll second that! All of my work computers run multiple virtual machines- you would have to try really hard to screw it up.

They may not have known it was a joke, but it was posted as a rumor. Don't believe everything you read!

But, yes, there was supposed to be a j/k posted later, it never did, because no one seemed to care, they were too busy asking for mpps and complaining that they weren't going to shop at T anymore if they couldn't print 4 coupons per page. Or, trying to set up a secret society that "reds" (which I am) couldn't find.

Besides, all the important people are over here on TCC anyways Cool

A FB group was set up (and quickly told by the mods that it could be discussed) and was reported within 24 hours on FB & was deleted.

Things always work out for the better Big Grin

I am Mobile as I usually am, I can not see anyones join date, level or reps for that matter. I recognize all the regulars from there names.

I am sorry about my comment I guess it was a bit out of line. There is no need for anyone to go back into hiding, we are all here for the same reasons and everyones contributions are appreciated. The regulars sometimes get tired of the same mindless posts over and over, or lately with all these pms were all receiving from people we've never even seen before on the threads, we are all a little annoyed by it.

And thank you for your wishes for ds, I hope they are genuine.
Quote from squealer1234 :
I was being sincere about your DSheart
I do read. As I said in my post I have been around since the "spicey" days. I believe somewhere around 2006?

I will admit the STFU comment is what made me "come back out of the woodwork". I will go back because I really don't want to bicker.

All I wanted to do was to let others in on the jokeSmilie
Perhaps I shouldn't have made the comment about being mean spirited, but honestly reading the last couple of days, that is how it came off.

Please get some rest and take care of your child. I do wish you the best and certainly to your DS.

Quote from love2beeamom :
Morning!! Happy shopping to everyone today! Gotta get our last use of the expiring TQ.

It was a different user that PM me.. krista somebody or other..

Sad times around my house today. My oldest DS just got dumped by his first girl friend. He was sure she was the one he had told me. I think he started talking too serious and she got spooked.. Told me on Tuesday they were "taking a break for a month".. I told him that must be something new cause I had never heard of taking a break.. sounded like breaking up to me. Anyway, they haven't been talking all week, and on facebook last night she posted about how hard ending relationships is.. and this morning they are both listed as "single" on facebook. It was his first serious relationship. I feel bad for him cause she was really good for him. Kept him motivated, focused, and a better student too.. But, I know the right girl will come along when it is time.. Maybe he can really focus on his college now.
Awe I'm sorry your son has to go through this. As a parent to watch your young adults go through what they think is the end of the world as they know it. I think we feel bad because we all know how it feels to lose or first love, the one we think is it! Well most of us anyway, a few lucky ones actually go on to marry their first loves.

You know he will move on and meet someone else.. it's just so hard to watch them hurt and knowing we can't make it better for them.

Wave Hi all! I haven't posted in a while...been busy getting my oldest off to college and my middle guy into Kindergarden.


I need to vent. I was at T on Friday night and the woman ahead of me in line gets her total $269.xx and my head jerks up to see what she had bought. EEK! She pulls a small stack of coupons out of her wallet and hands them to the cashier. He starts scanning them, but is checking them before he scans. He starts making a small pile on the scanner of ones he is not scanning. When he is done he hands her back about a dozen or so coupons and says he can't take them because the expiration date has been cut off the coupons. She tries to fight with him and them gives up and starts pulling items out of her 1 (and only) bag. It is only then that I notice what she is having him void: CWS x2, Nicorette, Prevacid x2, Naturs Bounty, Flex-a-min x2 and a few others. Farking A$$hat. I'm sure her plan was to return all of the items and keep the value of all those high $$ coupons. I so wanted to call her out right there in line, but bit my tounge. No wonder T is coming down on coupon users. People make me Blowup
Wave

Yes it's people like that who make it so difficult for the rest of us.

It's nice to see you post again!!

Dia - Hope everything gets better soon

To all of you who have little ones sick, hope they get better quickly.. hug

No making it back to Target today - sigh - ah well!

For all of you who are missing the ole days at Tarjey - I was informed very seriously that my lil guy KNOWS how to travel through time! ROFL! Kids are hilarious!

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
I found the College Essentials Books about 3 weeks ago at Target in Athens. They are long gone ... Virtual Box is really easy, it has a set-up wizard. Main things you need are a Windows Install disk with CD Key, and about 10 gigs of free hard drive on your computer. Everything else is cake Big Grin
Thank you for the info - too bad I missed them. Ah well! Thanks for the tip on the Virtual Box ... I might try it I am just afraid of wrecking the computer! ACK - I am a techie-fraidy cat --- I need to get over that!!! LOL

Ok - dif question ... how do you make ice cream cone cupcakes without the cones getting chewy?

Hi heart good to see you!!!!! You have been busy! I hope that your DD loves college & that your middle guy loves kindergarten!!! And yup - that is infuriating!!!! HUGS HUGS HUGS

Quote from myluvjustice :
On another note ds fever came back last night it appears they are now every 3 weeks apart versus every 4 weeks, I wish he would just grow out of it already, I'm tired of watching my rambunctious little boy turn in to a lifeless little boy every month, its just heartbreaking.
I am so very sorry!!! That is heartbreaking!!!! I hope that this cycle ends SOON SOON SOON!!! Poor little thing - Poor Mum!!! Sending P & PT!!!

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
My DD hasn't had a fever since school started, but she has had a cough, strep (w/o fever, which is weird), and general stuffiness.

She has also broken out (again) with acne on her face (she is 7!) .... Her doctor is useless. Can't wait till Oct. and we get decent insurance! (sorry, done venting)
Vent away!!! I totally understand! It is awful to have to watch our kiddos/loved ones ill and not be able to fix them ourselves! Sending P & PT that she gets better soon & that you find a doctor who knows something .... trust me those are a rare find!!! HUGS

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
She had an allergic reaction. Then it just went away.
Kiddos can develop/lose allergies as the grow up ---- might be worth having her tested again. I hope you get some resolution & that she is better soon! HUGS HUGS

Quote from squealer1234 :
Really! I bet that makes your mama proud.
I am betting that it is her sense of humour Smilie

Quote from squealer1234 :
People are afraid to make comments and to contribute.
Then they need to toughen up! If you can't stand the heat ....... it is just the internet ask questions/don't ask questions it is entirely up to the person --- but seriously if folks are "afraid" to participate because someone might say something that hurts their feelings I think that those folks have bigger issues than a coupon board.

Quote from squealer1234 :
It does, doesn't it! Almost like cyber-bullying!

I don't think they knew it was a joke, and besides they don't post in general anyway.
Oh good grief! Is your name really Kelly from RHONY???? Cyber-bullying?? Is that like the systematic-bullying she babbled non-sensically about???

The bottom line is this .... if it the comment was a joke then one would think that these folk would figure out the falseness of the RUMOR through their own life-experiences ie, Target coupons would not disappear and they would continue to use them when shopping. If on the other hand the RUMOR proved to be valid then the coupons would disappear and they would no longer be able to use them.

Whether or not the RUMOR was true wouldn't these couponers continue to use coupons until they couldn't anymore? If so it doesn't matter - either it is true or it isn't - their behaviors remain the same.

Quote from LongTimeLurker7 :
Don't believe everything you read!
On that note .... I am the head of a secret society which not only has all of the known MPP's but there are special coupons - JUST FOR MEMBERS - that allows for $100 off every $10 purchase, totally free shopping days, as well as coupons to have someone else do all the shopping for you (bring it to your house, put it away, and host garage sales for you.) Of course there are no reds that know about this - so don't tell!!!!! Evil

*snip* since we just jumped in the car to run an errand and the baby just freakin pooped. I swear I've changed this kid at every damn public bathroom in the city. Maybe it's just payback since I'm such a meanie.
Nah, it's just payback for feeding her Teehee

Quote from gatorcater :
I wouldn't be heading to T today normally but I am down to my last 1 1/2 roll of TP. Yes, my TCC badge should be taken away. Oh, and I am out of cereal. Going to do the Kellogg's deal w/ the B4G1 promo. Hopefully all the Qs will work right
I was dangerously low on TP about a month ago. But I put my Qs to the task and have managed to build up a nice stock again. It's just tough to store it all OMG

Quote from melkevdev :
Oh, and my 2 cents worth about the "mean" people here......when I first started reading both the Target threads, I thought you all were the meanest and snobbiest of all the slickdeals kingdom. Big Grin It took about a week to figure out ya'lls warped sense of humor! Actually, most of the folks here are SUPER nice, but they don't take no SH*T either. Thanks to all of you who help when I have questions about coupons and such! I truly appreciate it! hugheart
I think the target threads definitely have a rep as being a tough place to hang, and Secret I think we kinda like it that way Wink2 Personally I think there hasn't been enough Bonk going on in the deals thread, which is part of why it has gotten out of hand. When I was a newb, I didn't dare post a question until I'd read everything twice in search of an answer.

Unfortunately ds will always have fevers on a monthly basis, do to his blood disorder, good new is that most children grow out of this disorder, so only time will tell.
