RETIRED: Target chit chat

...And no need to go crazy-environmentalist on me...suffice it to say that I don't believe a lot of the save-our-planet type of stuff to be the truth. Even for .05 per bag @ T. I use mine rarely! And I don't mean to be rude to those that do - it's a preference, just stating that it does take longer....

I am super OCD on how I like my things bagged. I hate that cashiers dont even think twice about putting a bottle of drain cleaner in the same bag as my bananas ...

Ever wish that you didn't mess around on the computer too much (surf the net)

Tomorrow dh and I celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary.

.....

So anyone with experience with amazon.com - I ordered a pair of Pampili shoes for my daughter, who is going to be a flower girl on Saturday. Got them today, and one of the little rhinestone pendant thingies has fallen off. She has to wear them Saturday because I have no other options but can I return them after that? I got them for $19.xx, and I totally them, but they're broken, you know? Is it easy to return to amazon.com, or not so much?

It's way easy to return with Amazon. They have decent customer service too though. It's worth a try to call them and explain the issue. They may be willing to express a new pair out overnight for the trouble. Never hurts to ask

Hello everyone, it's me jujuli....

Hello everyone, it's me jujuli.
I don't go on this thread (only Target Deals thread) and didn't realize that people have been expressing their sympathies here. It wasn't until I came home yesterday from my Dad's funeral and received a delivery of this beautiful flower arrangement singed, "Your TCC Friends". I would like to personally thank the person(s) responsible for this, so please PM me.

I truly appreciate everyone's comforting messages of condolence. Thank you so much.

I have to pass down quite a terrible medical legacy to dd including cancer(mom is dying from end stage renal cancer, gramma died from Leukemia and blood clotting), this blood clotting disorder, polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroidim, diabetes(mom and grampa) and now the gyn says at 37 I am in premenopause :cry:

Thanks for checking in with us. We you and we're all here for you if you need us.



We have similar family histories. I have a blood clotting disorder & PCOS, mom has diabetes and a history of heart attack & multiple strokes. I fear ever having a family, I really do.

Okay, on a not so serious note. What the hell am I going to do with my 6 new rugs?

There are some doctors that definitely make you wonder how in the world they finished medical school. I had two different doctors, two different military hospitals, 5 years apart in timespan, ask me if I was sure that dh was the father of the baby I was carrying (while I was in there because I was miscarrying, idiots).



No pregnancy innocence here either. I had two miscarriages and 3 years of infertility before having my oldest dd. I worried over every.single.little.thing, but how can we not?
My oldest was 8 when I had a miscarriage on Thanksgiving (yep, only one that was on a holiday), and 9 the next year when our daughter was stillborn. I was at a store returning some of the many baby items we had purchased and she started crying. When I asked what was wrong, she asked why babies have to die. It hurts me just as much that she won't have any pregnancies free of those worries. It's not a legacy I wanted to pass down.

Hugs to the mommas that have lost a child, no matter the age or gestation. I will light my candle tomorrow (October 15th, pregnancy and infant loss awareness day) at 7 pm for all babies that are no longer with us. Oh heck, might as well start now.

Today's my anniversary and I spent it home alone with the kids. I made a yummy cauliflower & broccoli cheese soup though since it was cool out. It's gonna be cheese dip by the time DH gets out of the field but that's what he gets for postponing our date for tomorrow. LOL

Happy Anniversary to you too, Rachael!

For now, the rugs are stacked in my never-to-be-used bath tub in the master bath. We're shower people, and there is a separate, teeny stall shower. But with a 3 yr old that loves to help cook and bake, I toss out kitchen rugs frequently. Now I'm stocked for a little while. And still a few more days to use the coupon.

Happy Anniversary!!!! How many yrs??

Dh thought we were married today he actually almost took today off work . I made him dig the license up , it was signed at the courthouse on the 14th but we got married on the 15th , the day after he graduated from bootcamp .

lol

Cauliflower and Brocolli cheese soup sounds yummy!!!

...I'm sure you've already been told but Jamie sent the flowers and she is the sweetest most giving TCC meanie on here.

We were all very saddened to hear of your father and hope you can find some peace.
.

I just can't keep up but just a quick post ...

To all the mourning Mom's , I'm truly sorry for your losses.
I think we should name these babies names , and I will be lighting a candle with you all at 7 pm in remberance along with all of you , tomorrrow evening , I already have two names and would like to rememberr as many as I can by name if you care to post them . I won't name the second but leave that up to her Mom if she cares to share that . That would be a three dimensional candle, and I post a pic one if someone can tell me how to do that. I don't see a way to add an attachment.

I'll start with a name Samantha


I'm going to leave this stand alone and try to catch up on other posts

Work sucked. The LOD isn't the funnest. The store was slooooow and I was crampy, bitchy, and not in the mood.

I had three reusable bag ladies tonight. I wanted to rip my hair out.

So if there is a cashier that I really hate, I should use reusable bags to slowly drive them insane? :

Ever wish that you didn't mess around on the computer too much (surf the net)

Tomorrow dh and I celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary.

I have had a hard life and even harder marriage, but thru the thick of it all we recently have become so much closer and happier than we ever thought we could be.

Love at first sight for him, me not so much, but we became close friends very, very fast. Dated for 6 mnths then married when he was in bootcamp. We wanted to stay together and travel the world.

Then I got cervical cancer, large chunk of cervix removed and was told to hurry and have babies befoer cancer came back. It was a rough time because dh was in a rough often deployed career. I had to go thru fertility treatments.

Got preggo. Had rough pregnancy, very, very scary. Dh got orders to Korea alone during my 7th mnth.

I was very ill but my doc(on military base refused to help get dh orders changed, said I was fine)

We traveled from Fl to Ca so I could stay with family and I started having complications on the road(we drove a rental truck with belongings cross country) We stopped at 3 emergency rooms along way because of major complications.

2 weeks into moving in and settling down in Ca, dh was packing to go to Korea and his family demanded we go drive 4 hrs to their house. I wasn't feeling well but was forced tp go,

In major pain along the way I begged to go home and lay down or go to er.Dh said no and then finally MIL said I was just worrying too much. I went straight to the room and cried.Baby stopped moving, but noone wanted to listen.

Made appt with OB because of my fears.

Delivered 28 week Stillborn on Thanksgiving.

I despise Thanksgiving Day and would rather not function that day because 12 yrs later it still hurts my heart badly.

2 yrs later,I almost lost my twins at 28 gestation in
fact we almost all died when I hemorhagged after ds placenta abrupted.Good thing though because his twin sisters
placenta was clotted to the point of my previous stillborn

( I have blood clot disorder) DD would have died that night had my son not did the crazy soumersault into the placenta abrupting thing

So here dh and I are with lots of drama from get go, even more horror stories from family issues and having special need twins(one has aspergers, the other brain damage and CP, both look/act normal but dh,myself and specialists have to work overtime with kids therapies. and I homeschool)

I am looking for things to do tomorrow, and I surf the net for local activities at the beach where we live in NW Fl

2nd time ever DH took leave from work for anniversary, So I want to go have fun

and I come across this:

October 15th is National pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day

http://www.october15th.com/



I am going to do my best to focus on my anniversary and celebrate the good in our life and marriage.
I am not going to shut down like I do every Thanksgiving, but I will light a candle at 7pm along with the "wave of light" across the world.

But dang ............. can't a girl catch a break every now and then???


setsail, I am sorry for not saying anything sooner regarding your stillborn and your hubby's reaction. I can relate to your pain and understand how it feels to want hubby to feel and acknowledge that day. My hubs would rather not celebrate turkey day , he feels as I that the "celebration" aspect is gone. But the fact that we have kids pushed us to have traditions and give them some sort of "holiday"
DD having Aspergers demand for traditional Turkey day. LOL. so we go thru the motions for her and my son and we get thru it.
But I can see the pain in hubs eyes. We have some things that we do,say and have in our house that require is to say our stillborns name daily, we did this so that he is always around (in mind and spirit). I didn't post for lack of words but because I wanted to say so much to you about, just you and wanting to comfort you. I am sorry I didn't step up.

It always helps when people step up on T-Day for me and I should have done same for you.

:I My son (23) is just finishing up his Masters Degree (Public Administration) and he is trying to join the military. He has been jumping through hoops for a several months. He had a stroke when he was 8 and this is the hold up. So, after the last round of dr. exams (that he has to pay for), sending in reports, etc. he got the call Tuesday. He has been permanently disqualified from ever entering military service, medically based. He was really disappointed.

He called me yesterday... He had gotten another call from his recruiter, they were reading the old letter. That decision has been overturned and he is now approved to proceed with the enlistment process. So, next hurdle is the physical. (Not at all worried about the written tests).

Got a couple hours then I have to be ready to go get my hubby's head examined .... and his processor programmed.. All of them.
