YEAH!! I am so glad that she hasn't had a bunch of infections ... lil Miss G spent a lot of her first year in hosp with kidney/bladder infections cause of the reflux of her urethra ... it sucked!

Frown She is much better now - but was on antibiotics for the first year plus and still had issues.

Wishing lots of WELL thoughts to your beautiful poop machine Smilie
Thank you! Smilie We are greatly blessed to not have to have her on 24/7 antibiotics. hug to your little one. I know how stressful that would be having your little one hooked up to iv's & machines. I'm glad to hear she's doing better though!

Well, I've procrastinated and not worked on any deals or gotten ready to shop tomorrow. I hurt and I"m going to bed. Smilie Hope you all have a great night and a wonderful day if I don't get the opportunity to chat!

One of my local Targets has become a 14 pain. They now have to pick the price of the item instead.
Other than that I had a fantastic time earlier.

Slowtech envie is on the way
Ank hope that is the last of the car repairs for now
Kallison hope you get the job and the move goes well
tots I will look through my coupons. If I have them, they are yours
thismom sorry about the cashier.
bunnies Happy belated Birthday

ah well, we have to let go of the old to bring in the new right? now here's hoping the replacement is in before things go bad. cos i think i'll be bawling like a baby if after all this effort of coupons and savings i lose hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars in organic food.
I lost probably at least $150-200 worth of food (calculated at "average" prices Wink) about a year-and-half ago... Had just recently bought a small chest freezer during a deal at a local grocery store... Had worked hard to get it filled w/shredded cheese, waffles, ice cream, frozen pizza, etc... And then one day I noticed a pool of brown liquid on the floor. I thought my oldest had spilled some chocolate milk and didn't think much of it.... Except we didn't have any chocolate milk at the time. Doh Come to find out, melted chocolate ice cream leaking out of the freezer looks a lot like spilled chocolate milk.

Apparently, my youngest had decided to play w/the temp control knob that the manufacturer oh-so-conveniently placed in the bottom corner of the front panel. And by "play with", I mean "turn all the way down to zero." Crying

I literally filled up one of the black lawn garbage bags w/thawed frozen food. I was able to save *some* of it, but just a small fraction.

But I tell my sad tale to let you know that even in a worst case scenario, you can rebuild. Strong That same freezer is *almost* full right now (gotta save some room for more TGIF, of course). However, that same freezer also has about seven layers of packaging tape immobilizing the temp control. laugh out loud It'll suck, but more coupons and more deals will come, and one day, you might even be able to laugh about your misfortune on the Interwebz. Wink

---------------------

Thanks to everyone who came to my TGIF rescue! Grouphug High Five worship

It should be TGITCC. Big Grin

Ok I normally don't drink that often @ least but this Kahula tonight is tasting really yummy!! I am trying to figure out what to do over vacation and have a few options... Philadephia, PA, Indianapolis, IN or Chicago, IL!?! Do any of these have good coupon friendly targets? Me hopes so!!

OMG Dia!! Poor baby.. I cannot believe how much these little ones can go threw, it makes my heart break.. I am soooo glad she is better... does she need meds often still? Or is she doing really good w/o meds? Sending lots of hugs!!
Quote from getgreen09 :
ebay no longer allows sellers to leave negative feedback for buyers. there's only positive or neutral. they changed it a while ago to prevent the kind of retaliation you guys fear, and to encourage buyers to post real feedback. so i'd post honestly!

dealhog, i would report that seller to ebay, and pronto. she's breaking rules in more ways than one. telling a customer that asking to cancel means you have to cancel because it's a sign from her is against ebay rules. changing reasons constantly is shady at best. and moreover asking people to give a certain kind of feedback to account for negative feedback is a big no-no. with business hurting, ebay has gotten serious about their buyer protection. flex your muscle.
I HATE ebay and lots of the sellers on there as they are a bunch of asshats that have no clue or concern about their customers...sure let a customer buy coupons on Monday and send them out on Friday...whatever lol
Quote from setsail :
Thanks! And are they serious, $1 off razors?
Aren't they soooo generous!?! NOT!! I used to heart those b1g1 Schicks before... way too much actually lol
Quote from setsail :
Dh said both are good, he likes the one from Sam's Club because it's has a better processor and graphics, and he thinks it is worth the price difference.
I love my HP laptop and think it is the best one I have ever bought!! Amazing quality in comparison to other ones!!
Quote from mama2cole :
They're doing better. Cole seems pretty much back to normal but Kiley is still up once or twice in the night with that darn cough. I hate cold and flu season.
Awww sending hugs and healthy vibes!! Sorry Kiley isn't 100% yet, hoping she gets better soon!! I hate this time of year too... all of my kids have seasonal asthma... no fun!?! The baby is wheezy now..it's the sucks!! HUGS!!

Quote from Dec12Girl :

My Mum loves turkey for Christmas but that is because in England we don't have Thanksgiving (go figure lol) and so we eat turkey or goose for Christmas dinner. So you are in good company!




I would be exceedingly frustrated!!! That is ridiculous! I am sorry that you were treated so shabbily! Hmm - have to look for the Stove Top Q.



ROFL!!!! I agree!!!
I heard these Stove Top coupons are all over the place... me hopes so!! so are you ready for the holidays? Are your family coming over your house again this year? BTW, I am soooooooooo happy to see you on here!! You just need to come and visit NY to see all the sites Wink HUGS!!

Quote from thismom4deals :
Wave Thanks! Glad I did not order from them!

When I read 'theqhunter' I knew immediately which one you were talking about....it used to be more prominently displayed on her home page that she allows a max of 40 of each coupon now I don't see it except for when you search and then it displays in bold blue lettering above the search results.......she also has this [theqhunter.com] page.
Sorry about your bum run to Target!! I physically dislike coupon sellers all together, they are so icky!! Many of them never send out in time and are not thoughtful of the thought of the sales process!!
Quote from HDDVDTV :
Have extra $0.55 wyb Stove Top Apple Stuffing Mix if anyone needs any.

My store is still out of TGIF, Oral-B and Maalox. They did have Swiss Miss though. : Made my neighbor happy.
Just wanted to say... heart u!! You are an amazing coupon fairy!!
Quote from getgreen09 :
thank you sweetie. i followed slowtech's advice made sure vents at back were not blocked by food. they weren't. but i moved em some more. checked on ice cream that's further back in freezer. that's soft too. so it's not just the things out front.
ah well, we have to let go of the old to bring in the new right? now here's hoping the replacement is in before things go bad. cos i think i'll be bawling like a baby if after all this effort of coupons and savings i lose hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars in organic food.
.
I am so sorry I had my freezer go on me a few years back, it was a side by side... and we just went out grocery shopping days b4 and everything... like 500 dollars worth of meats, veggies and stuff went bad....errrrr hope you can get a replacement before this happens...HUGS!!

Quote from dreemedayze :
Ank, no, another blood draw tomorrow and if all looks good, a sonogram within a week.
Hoping for all good results!!
Quote from ank220 :
Well, the weird thing is that you would've thought the infection would show up when they did the culture - they did the quick test and it was negative, so they sent it to a lab for the culture and it still came back negative. I'm thinking maybe a stone again or something. Either way, I'm definitely calling to see if I can get an appt. tomorrow. Not sure where the walk in clinics are around here - surely the doc office would know if they can't fit me in, right?
Go to the doctors!! I had a horrible pain in my back and everything, they tested me not even 2 weeks prior for infection, no sign of it, went to the er b/c I was in soooooooo much pain and I had a severe kidney infection which was making me sick to my stomach and everything..
Quote from flugette :
Yeah, I've heard/read lots of stories about how much people can make just by panhandling. When I lived overseas, it was a huge racket, with gangs of gypsies sending their kids through the metro system, begging. I hate to be cynical, but I don't trust most sob stories.


Suave TQ - first one went through beep-free, rest beeped.
We used to go to Canada, in Toronto my brother and I were walking around a "bum" approached us asked for money, we gave him a couple bucks... he was dressed horribly so we felt bad... hours later, this same asshat was stripping off his clothes in the same area jumping into a NEW PORSCHE!! We were coming back to the area to grab our car... I was po'ed so I never buy into I need a dollar scams...

Quote from DealHog :
I also had a "not happy" q ordering experience (kitty klippers). Bought qs on the bay Nov 3. Paid within 5 minutes. Got a notice from eBay a week later saying she wanted to cancel, bc she made a mistake on inventory. I let it ride, thinking she'd make it right. I get a notice from ebay saying something like I need to act, or I'll get hit w/ a "failure to pay." I was pissed - made no sense, I had paid immediately. So I cancel, under the condition that I can leave feedback for her. She must've got that - bc I get another notice she's sending qs, to pay - which again I did immediately.
I FINALLY get the da** coupons yesterday, w/ a nasty note from her saying to cancel in the future when she says cancel, bc the bay has "glitches" & it's not her fault. So it went from inventory mistake to the bay's fault.: Hmmmm. During this long wait, I get an email from her (not happy about that) that someone has given her 1 star on 15 transactions (or something like that), & wanting us all to help her out.:I guess I say all this to ask a question. I want to leave negative feedback on her. But how do I do this without her retaliating & leaving negative feedback on me, just bc I left it on her?
So sorry!! she sounds like an ass!!
Quote from kallison423 :
Whenever I get someone who I think will leave me negative feedback because *I* left negative, I just don't even bother. I'm not going to risk my reputation because someone wants to be a passive aggressive ass.
Me too!! I am always afraid they will mess up my ratings..

Quote from mama2cole :
I would go crazy cheap and get rid of it.



I do the same thing.

Went to ST this morning.
Used some coupons.
Left happy.
Agree with you!! I sold Cesars and Pedigree for 100 cans for 20 bucks...it killed me but I had over 1000 cans!! Maddness!!

Quote from ank220 :

:Me too... totally blew DH's overtime $$ and some of the $$ we were going to use to pay off medical bills. I am listing them all tonight and then going to start a calling campaign tomorrow. I hope to get at least some kind of negotiation for slightly less oop $$. If we can save anything out of his overtime, then we may try to go up and visit DH's grandmother next week sometime. I think DH is thinking if we have to go up, it'd be better to try to go before she passes than to wait until she passes and go up for the funeral.
So sorry about the money issues, I am hoping that your DH has enough $$ leftover to see his grandma before she passes on. HUGS!!
Quote from getgreen09 :
not to mention i'm saying all this as though a new fridge will just arrive when i snap my fingers. here i was thinking it's time for a new stove, because the oven has been acting up and running at a higher temp/burning foods/cooking unevenly. i guess now we need both.

oh what fun...

anyone feel like eating 3 quarts, and 2 pints of soft serve and a couple of pints of soft sorbet with me? it might just make the mean ones here sweeter... LMAO
or we could have a pea fight tossing bags of frozen peas at each other? how about a skating party with bags of frozen shredded cheese? no takers? yeah... so much for having things stocked.
I know I was there too.. it's funny b/c my stove is now cooking at various temps no matter what temp I set it up for... I really don't wanna buy another stove b4 Christmas, you know.. sending lots of hugs and freezer working vibes!!
Quote from dreemedayze :
So I ordered coupons from theqhunter and I am not happy.

There were no limits imposed so I ordered away. I didn't take them all, probably not even half of what she has. They aren't *hot* from what I can see on her site. I PAID for priority shipping.

Today I receive them. Inside this massive priority envie is a small envie with 40 coupons. Then she wrote on it that she sent 40, charged me for them, but didn't say why. Gave me a store credit for the remaining. (like almost 20.00 worth in credit)

Now, what if I didn't want store credit? I'd rather have the damn coupons and at minimum, a freaking email telling me I can't have all that I ordered.

Oh, and the stove top b4g1 (it's an 02) played nice with bogo Jello. I don't think they would taste yummy mixed together any other way.
That is craziness!! I cannot believe that she would do that, that is very unethical and not customer service friendly.
Quote from dreemedayze :
and one more thing..

has anyone used one of those Roaster pans for a turkey? Looks kinda like a big crock pot. Does it work as nicely as baking the turkey?

I feel fine. Was a little nauseated today. Go back to the dr. tomorrow.
I have used the roaster last year to make the turkey, it worked great!! All was tasty.. I am thinking of buying my mom a roaster for Christmas..

Quote from kallison423 :
Need prayers/good vibes/happy thoughts today. IF things with work go as I think they will, I'll actually have a payday by the time I get to FL. And considering I haven't had so much as a dime in pay since March, that's HUGE.



And then maybe you guys won't have to hear me bitch about not having any money Wink
We are here for you to complain to no matter what.. but I will Pray that you are able to get a paycheck soon and have an easier move to FL!!
Quote from Thrifteh :
I've ordered from them in the past and like their prices but do not like their ship time. I'm near you (Omaha) and it always takes minimum 7 days.

Flug, Reach barcode is like J&J, mismatch between product and coupon barcode (sorry didn't read ahead to see if this was answered, still have 2 pages to read and I'm Mobile)
Hi!! Missed you and your beautiful kiddos on here!!
Quote from slowtech :
around here, shoprite has the best sale prices, then doubles coupons, so it's the most popular supermarket in my area. the cashiers are trained to ask you for your shoprite card first, then any coupons and rainchecks b/c raincheck items need to be scanned first, and then they check the expiration dates of every single coupon. and doesn't matter what order your coupons are scanned in and any coupon over the price of the item will beep and needs the supervisor to come and swipe their card. everyone in the area, employees and customers alike are all trained.


.
Wow!! Our stores are not huge on expiration dates around here but are not nearly as trained as your stores!!

Meeshe, if you're bringing the kids along, I would say Philadelphia. The weather is more moderate than the other two cities, plus there are lots of local attractions to enjoy. Lots of history in Philly itself, and then NJ is just a short drive away. And then there's Lancaster County, which is always fun.

Busy day today for me! Must get moving!

It is a pain to make an appt. if you want to be seen the same day. GRR... I am waiting for *my* primary doc's office to open now. I tried some closer ones, but the earliest they'll take me is Monday. I guess that's what I get for not switching docs when I feel good and waiting til I'm blechy to call for a new doc. Yay... I get to drive way out of the way today. My only consolation is that there's a grocery store out there that may have some great cache of coupons since it's out in the middle of nowhere and not likely been pillaged and plundered.

Thanks for the info. I don't ebay much. Just checked my account, joined in 98, & I have 10 feedbacks (all positive). Haven't bought much Embarrassment But I did notice that my recent seller has already left positive feedback for me. Big Grin So I now feel free to honestly assess our transaction.Evil
Had a good run yesterday. Podunkville now has the update.woot And a jedi said, "I'm gonna haveta start using coupons" after checking me out.
Picked up some Sony earbuds on 75% off ($4.xx).
Bought my 1st TGIFs (after the witch above finally sent the coupons).
Picked up a Lego GC. Got my 1st (& probably last) Campbells. Was able to find some PJs, too. Picked up a pair of "skinny jeans" for $6.xx. Good grief, what was I thinking. Those things are going back. Fat women & skinny jeans don't mix. laugh out loud

Speaking of facebook, do any of you have that friend where they post their status update, and you're left scratching your head, trying to figure if you're the stupid one or they just aren't as funny/clever as they think...

Had a lovely morning and now I'm at home and completely done in. I should be cleaning, but I think I'm going to take a nap. The congestion in my ears in finally abating, just agonizingly slowly. I think its just wearing me out. Hubby asked me what's for dinner. I said probably something TGIF, and he groaned. laugh out loud

and thank goodness too. a dear friend/single mom we know has lost her job and was secretly VERY stressed about Christmas. She never said a word until our 'girl group' asked her about it. She was in tears and said she needed help. Thanks to the Vegas Slots known as Target registers, her kids' Christmases are looking up and she'll have a lovely gift basket complete with Olay, Glade, giftcards, etc. nod


I've read everything, but for the past few days I only have time to read then not post, so here. POST. LOL!!!
