RETIRED: Target chit chat

Unfortunately, I don't know if there's that much that can be done for my wrist. I've broken it 3 or 4 times - and the last one was pretty bad. I think it'll be permanantly problematic. They told me to expect to get arthritis in it. I am NOT looking forward to that.



I suspect we all have emails that say otherwise... I know I do! It'll be interesting to see how they handle it. Seems like they've been trying to just ignore it and hope it goes away so far.

Whatever they do, I hope it's soon and a lot less hassle-rific than the ccv fun they've instituted. *sigh*

I use a Diva Cup, but I've heard of a lot of women swear by cloth pads (I don't use pads at all). Once you get past the ick factor, it's fine for most. I don't have kids, but certainly a cloth diaper and a cloth pad are sort of the same, in terms of how to store and wash...right?

This [lush.com] is actually a good thread- the folks over at Lush are pretty eco friendly and very open about what works (and doesn't work) for them.

I'm very proud of myself.. and just had to share.

Target's issue with $X/Y coupons was on CNN headline news this morning. Reported that they've only known about the issue since August and was pointed out that Target is pocketing the difference between reimbursement and what they gave the customer.

:no d: I do keep hoping that they will just tell their programmers to delete all the updates that have occurred since July...proceed old school style.
I was able to print 1 of the free rayovac FB Qs. I am not going to try and use it anywhere even though I know its 100% legit....too many stores around here will be skeptical. Happy to RAOK it to someone...PM me.

Hope to hit 2 stores today. DH is off and has volunteered to watch the boys! :whe e:

I can already tell that holiday overeating is going to really test me this year. We made halloween cupcakes yesterday for DS to take to school this morning and I ate one instead of my normal breakfast of a bialy and egg whites.

It's not even Halloween yet

I had to google. Never heard of a bialy. Polish food

I've been very good this year on the Halloween candy. Not one bag has been opened (I'm not really a sweets girl).

I just wish my county would figure out which night, Saturday or Sunday. Sunday is difficult as it's a church night AND a school night. My hometown never allowed T or T'ing on a Sunday. I sure don't want them BOTH nights.

Is it a song? It's a liqueur, too (Wild Turkey American Honey Liqueur). And I didn't want y'all in here drinking by yourselves.

Ah, Jen Lancaster always says it so perfectly.

Spent the day at the museum today and it surprised me how many nudes are (gasp) curvy! They have breasts! And a pudgy stomach! And hips! AND they're still beautiful. When did this change and fat suddenly become the root of all evil? Fat is the last acceptable discrimination, it seems.

I'm very proud of myself.. and just had to share.

My sister has not spoken to me since my son's (not biological) death, nor has she talked to my daughter or granddaughter since then. Have no idea why, and when emailed or sent a message on FB asking why, she didn't reply.

She sent a message to my daughter tonight that was rather nasty and came out of the blue, it's been 20 months now.

So I finally sent her a message telling her exactly what I thought of her, her actions towards me when I needed her the most, about ignoring my daughter and granddaughter when they needed her the most and everything else that has been bottled up in me for the last 20 years (been keeping the peace, so as not to upset the rest of the family). Not being there for me during my skin cancer (stage 2)

Told her that I will be telling my kids that she will not be welcome at my funeral, that no hypocrite's allowed, if she can't love and respect me in life, then don't pretend to when I'm dead. Then finally deleted her from my FB...

I feel better knowing that I did that finally.

Thanks for letting me share..

Thanks Cathi..

She thinks because her husband is VP of "giant warehouse club" and that they have millions, and I basically have nothing, I have my house and my children and grandchildren and to me that's more important than any materialistic things.. that she is better than me. She drinks too much and is just darn right mean and cruel to her family (and her own kids) but just loves to do things for her friends and her Dog.. oh my what she does for that dog.. brags about her trips.. like she is leaving for Tuscany, Italy to go have some cooking lessons from some famous chef this weekend..

She doesn't work and wouldn't have a clue what to do if something happened to all their money..

She's thin and told me I embarrassed her because I was "fat".

My friends have been telling me for years that you can't chose your family, but you can chose your friends. But I'm very strongly family oriented and I truly did want all of us to be a family.

I lost a father, brother, 2 husbands and then my son in a short time span. But she just isn't family oriented.. she only keeps in contact with my brother.. not even our Mom.

So after writing what I wrote (though I didn't mention alot of other things that I wanted to, like she's a drunken bitch and a mean one at that, and that my father would surely be looking down, not pleased..) cause I didn't want to be that mean..

Sorry for clogging the thread with my rantings.. but I feel everyone here are open minded and not bitchy meanies like they really want to be known as. Everyone really is so kind and caring.. even though I don't post much, because living in Canada limits my shopping trips..

I am not seeing any good deals posted. We will probably head home tomorrow --- soooo, do I need to stop at any Targets?

Behind on this thread but I did a quick search and didn't see any mention of the new BOGO Starburst Q on Qs dot com site. These look promising

Be on the lookout for an email from Pampers...I just got a code for a FREE 20pg 7x9 Shutterfly photo book!!
