I have coupon account to print Qs from, but now they want it verified and I'm in a pickle. I'd love to give them my work phone number, but I can't facebook at work. My real account has my home phone number on it and I really don't want to give anyone my cell. We also aren't allowed to have our cell's at work.

From what I can tell, they want to let you put in a phone number and then they immediately call to verify. My cell phone only calls and texts (no internet). So Scratchhead on how to get my Coupon account reactivated.
Look into Google Voice. I love it! Not even my mother has my real cell phone #. And my work # is a GV # (I work from home). No way am I giving my cell phone # out to the world. None of their stinkin' business.

I wouldn't waste the $2.48 on them. I dont have those exact ones but I have used electric scissor before and it is not as helpful as you would think.

does anyone here RA? and if you do, do you manage more than one wellness + card? I have 6. and I am getting them confuzzled. I have my main acct on my key ring that has 20%, then the other 5 I have and wrote on the back of them, avoiding the barcode, the registration info including email, login id and phone # but I am still getting them confused.

I am using them for the things that get limits, like the night guard this week. But I originally got them for the WR with the Huggies but I guess what I am getting at is, could I hole punch them in an attern I was think 1 hole on the card I would use first, then 2 holes on the card I would use second, etc.

I just dont like how i am doing any Q organizing lately. Who has the breifcase? was it an cassette organizer? I think I might go that route instead of my 4'' Binder and 1'' sub-binder for Wags/RA. My Wags/Ra binder is not enclosed like my big binder and all my wellness cards that were separated into baseball card sleeves came flying out and got all mixed up - used and not used.

I had the briefcase and am now using a plastic box. Started with two12 x 12 binders with photo and card pages. It worked but I was constantly switching from one binder to the other -- the one I wanted was always under the other one. Then there was the frequent flinging of coupons right out of their pockets and the fun of chasing them across the floor. Oh yeah, and the part where I would either have empty pages or not enough pages and would have to open it up and add/remove so my coupons could be in the right order.

bulb Then I got the briefcase. I got it at Menards (like Home Depot or Lowes, only better). It's was in the tool box area and is actually one of those brief case tool boxes for little tools, like a computer tech, etc. might use.

It actually came with hard dividers to put in slots. I used 2 from front to back and made 3 sections. Each section was just about perfect for a 3 x 5 index card. My system is alphabetical by the name or manufacturer. Far left row is A-Z non-food, far right row is A-Z food, the middle row was odds and ends like dog, cat, Target, HyVee and it left me an empty area for "desk" space. I labeled index cards A - Z and then used packing tape folder over the top so they hold up really well.

The briefcase lid had the thing for organizing stuff so I had pens, clips, scissors, stapler, etc. Behind it you can stick flyers. If you have a baby there is plenty of room for a couple diapers, wipes, etc. Can also just put phone, keys and wallet in it and not carry the purse if you want to carry less. The envelope is to stick the coupons in as I put the item in my cart.

A while back I thought I wanted something a little smaller so I moved the whole system over to a plastic box. Except, I just have two rows -- food, non-food and I have started putting all my Target coupons in one of those plastic divided envelopes and laying it on top. And there isn't room for all the goodies.

The box is smaller and a little less obnoxious. I can't really say it's easier to carry since I won't carry it by the handle. I have a fear it will fall open. I actually like the brief case better. Oh, I actually used a regular briefcase as a test first (loaner from hubby), before I bought my silver one. If you wanna see a picture of the box I am using now, I can take and upload one tomorrow.

Who much was the tool box breif case, and could you carry it by the handle? meaning, the coupons didnt move when they went sideways? I think I would like something like that, but with the handle on top like a makeup box.

I have my binder organized Target is the first few pages - including all 14s and related Qs, then misc, pet, Cleaning, HBA, paper, then the foods are broken down almost by aisle like bread, drinks, pasta, rice/pot, cans, baking, fridge, frozen etc - It is almost organized by my fave Ts aisles walking in a circle.

Mostly I am just getting annoyed with the cutting and recutting and folding of the Qs to get them into the binder pockets. Plus my pockets are as old as I am a member here and ripping and popping seams and they are so expensive and cheapily made now, I cant justify spend more money on them.

I will have to look and see if T is still carring the caboodles and if they have any that are not see-thru, I might try it out.

What do you do about the TQs? fold them? I suppose I could just file them long ways.

That sounds super organized and really roomy.. You actually carry that into the stores though??

I guess I am more into the Ninja I used to carry one of the accordian type folders.. But, I felt like I was being watched as soon as I entered with that big thing.. Now, I have several of those, but I don't take them in. I leave them in the car and I sort the coupons I plan on using and line up a potential "run" and file it in an envelope for target, publix, etc.. usually at the back of each envelope, I will put any extra coupons I may use..
Then I put the envelopes in my purse and just before I head to the register, I pull out any coupons for items I didn't get..

If I happen to see something on clearance and don't have the coupon with me, I either send DH to fetch it.. or grab it and run back in.. maybe not the greatest system, but it works for me.

Not RA, But CVS.. I used to have 5 cards going at CVS.. I bought one of those multifile folder things from the target one spot.. each slot had that card, its extra bucks, and a small list telling me which deals had been done on that card.. I could have also kept a list with all the info relating to that card in there too.. but I usually just kept that info at home..
I have gotten down to 2 cards right now cause I just don't have as much time to CVS now that I am targeting and hitting publix too.

Mommy advice???

DD was outside earlier this evening and whacked her hand on a big metal generator thingy outside. Her pointer finger is swollen and bruising. She can't bend it and says it feels like it's not even attached. The last part has me wondering... I know that if it's fractured or jammed the most they would do is tape it up... would it be worth a trip to the ER?

The not being able to move and decreased sensation is probably just from the swelling. I personally wouldn't go to the ER.. put ice on it. 10 mins on and then 10 mins off.. elevate it and see if it gets better when the swelling decreases. Also some ibuprofen would help. You can get finger splints at wags or CVS which works like taping.. but I may would wait til some swelling goes down first ..

That is my combo mommy/nurse advice for ya Wink
This is the oldest DD right?

Iagree Defs my first thought was ice and IB. Hopefully she just whacked it bad enough for bruising and swelling. With digits there's not much room for swelling to spread out so it is visibly more swollen than any other part of the body. KWIM?
