do the shipping email and/or invoice reflect discounts?

i think they do k.

i looked up some old order confirmation emails and it shows REBATE -10.00. bday codes should work like angels rewards... i think? it shows the total paid in any case.

So for all the girls who were so kind in asking about what's been going on with my heart palpitations, it turns out I have a very abnormal EKG. I would have peaks, when the heart beat, and then dips or canyons where it should be a peak. The report on my EKG came back and said it was a left ventricular strain on my heart. So my general doc doesn't know what's wrong, for sure, she has a hunch, which is genetic heart disease (MVP, for all you docs out there), but there has been absolutely no heart disease in my family on both sides, so I highly doubt it. So it's looking like it's from stress. I was doing well this weekend, but on the drive in to work, I already feel dread and chest tightening.

She put in an urgent referral to a cardiologist, so hopefully I can get something this week, but I have no idea. What sucks about getting a referral is the IPA is located in the area where all the power lines and such went down in the recent winds. The lines are busy

I'm going to try to find things I can do to cope with stress, but I've been cleaning out a lot of the clutter and boxing them up for storage, but so far, my room sort of looks the same, trying to make my room into a nice little sanctuary and I'll be Googling up how to manage stress and anxiety.

Any tips from you girls on stress management?

I'm glad you got an EKG. Did your dr. think it could be stress? I hope the cardiologists finds the cause & treats the right thing. Your heart isn't something to speculate about.

Quote from annicus

azn, i was able to stack all of mine at glendale over the weekend. i asked beforehand and they said yes. so if you're ever out there you should be able to. they also took my online return. and (here's the bonus), since i bought $125 worth of stuff i got a fashion show tee but they forgot to scan it on the receipt (the SA was too busy scanning 13 src's) so she put it on a different receipt. score!

Awesome deal!

Quote from pepper540

Someone get me my RAGE CAGE.

VS credit card transactions online are showing two of my orders with SHIPPING and without my birthday coupons. The amount on your angels card is final right, not like when you get email confirmations and they don't reflect rewards coupons?

I'm going to RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Hey, girl.

I just had the same thing happen at Bloom.com. I know how aggravating it is.

Quote from annicus

btw for those of you who were curious, i think i have finally found a setting that i love!! i'll go back in my PMs and msg all of you the online stock photos... i tried it on in a jewelry store yesterday and it was sooo pretty and very me. i think the search is finally over. and no, it is neither of the original contenders, of course.

Quote from annicus

Yes, you do! call them about the other one! it's not like you can re-press the flower back to how it was...

What was I thinking? We need all this stuff.

Maybe, I'll contact them after all.

Dh had the same thing AZN. on his regular physical check up (3 years ago i think) our physical found out that EKG is not "normal" for him. At first she even wondered if his heart is on right side (some people have heart on right side ) but then she confirmed it is only something is not normal with his EKG. We went to cardiologist and then after advanced EKG and other reports cardiologist concluded that DH is alright. And the thing is that the way electricity passes thru his heart is not usually seen. He even mentioned to us that there is absolutely nothing to worry in future and not need to mention it to insurance(because insurance company might increase insurance without going in details) .
I believe all of it because that cardiologist is well reputed in his field.
Now DH had heart palpation almost 1.5 years after that incident( when we went to cardiologist his heart beat was just normal). What you have could be just strange co-incident too.

I would suggest for you first of all do NOT worry about this situation itself

Second, I know you are much stressed already - put those darn GMAT prep books down for few days.
Third, when you resume with GMAT prep, just don't stress about doing the best with it. It is A LOT of stress. Just take it easy, the world will not end if you don't do MBA or if you do MBA from some other college than you desired. What is most important is YOU and YOUR health. you already have a job with decent pay and a nice BF- see the positive things in life and take a break from everything. Do things you enjoy. Cluttering can add up to stress but to some people organizing does not help with stress. You should do thing YOU like more. do everything Sheena suggested.

And lastly if you are interested do Meditation. It will 99% help with stress. If you want more info i can PM you with some informative videos or something else.

Take care sweetie.

P.S. - Sheena, you are so wise for you age

Sorry for taking so long to respond - I managed to get my hands on a yellow one on Friday. I don't want to trouble you or anything, but if your store still happens to have the orange, hot pink, or blue, I'd love them, but let me know.

*snip*

Hey there. I went at lunch today and they do not have any dogs left at all

I asked my sis to check too - she is in Orlando. We don't have very many VS's around here, so it seems like if something is in stock on Friday, it's going to be gone on Monday. Boo! If I find any more though I will definitely pick them up for you. I Have enough SRC's to get about 15 more!

I'm SO sorry your EKG had the results it did, but hopefully it puts you one step closer to an answer. Stress is a hard one to manage, and I went through a bit earlier this year that they kept diagnosing as Pleurisy. There are a few things that helped me, maybe they can help you:

My husband and I (not sure if you are married or not) cut back on everything and became debt free. Paid off all cars, credit cards and debt from the wedding. My big concern before (coming from a family of terrible money managers) was if one of us lost our job we would be in a ton of trouble - but now we keep our bills and expenses to one income. It helps a lot. I know not everyone is in the position to do that, but anything you can do to step closer to that goal helps.

Cutting negative people out of my life helped a lot and sitting back and finally being proud of myself for what I have accomplished in life instead of destroying myself. I am a workaholic who is very dedicated to her job and I see my work as a representation of my character. Once I realized this was a huge part of my stress, I HAD to ease up on myself. It's gradual, but it helps.

Lists. I always hated lists when I was a kid - but I make them now even just to clean my house. I used to get so overwhelmed with even simple tasks - decluttering and cleaning certainly help me feel more relaxed, and if i tackle it with a plan, it helps SO much. Plus, when I check the last thing off that list I truly feel as though I have accomplished something.

If you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me. I have no life right now and am a good listener! I wish you the best and you have my thoughts with you!

Quote from annicus

I have! i actually just returned mine to sephora - i didn't think it was worth $15 (or even $12, which is what i paid after f&f) kuz i only used it once and it was ok. i'll probably regret returning it, but oh well... i had trouble with the magnet - the np would always move up towards the magnet and stick to the magnet. it was annoying! like it would raise itself vertically until it touched the magnet, thereby creating a little dot where they touched. i think i put too thick of a coat when that happened. but i didn't feel like trying over and over to perfect my technique.
*snip*

I got a set of them from Allure last month that I won in August. I kept one from the set and set my sis the other one. I think they look so pretty, but I am OCD and if the pattern isn't the same I have to re-do it. It takes hours.

Quote from annicus

oh btw, not sure if anyone was interested in it, but i was at urban outfitters on sat and found (and purchased!

) the butt naked nyx palette [nyxcosmetics.com]. it's soooo pretty! kinda large/heavy tho... but it's got so much in it! the eye colors are beautiful, and there are a lot of matte shades! anyway i was so excited to see it in a store.

I have enough "naked" makeup to last a million years - but I did think that was pretty and have to talk myself out of it

Quote from GoHeels

How about gifting him a weekend getaway for the two of you, before the baby gets here? You won't have much time for each other, after the baby arrives. It's worth it though. When are you due?

I am due Feb 11th, but I have gestational diabetes, so if she isn't here by 2/4, the Dr. will induce. Getting close now!!!

I like the weekend getaway idea, it's going to be hard to fit in to the holidays, baby shower and the fact that I am on call every other weekend.

We just went on a cruise to Mexico at the end of August / beginning of September, so I'll have to dig deep to find an excuse for another getaway

Good idea though!!!

I don't know what to do to relax. I have a hard time doing that. I just have to keep busy if I'm stressed and that keeps my mind off of what's bothering me.

i mean, in pepper's case, is it possible for them not to match the cc charge to the invoice? if they could be sneaky like that to show discount on the invoice but charge more to your cc? it's easier for customers to track discounts on the invoice because they're broken down, versus on cc statement when it shows only the total.

oh, i would love it if it were free.

but in general i don't like high maintenance things, and yeah, i could see myself spending hours trying to get the magnetic patterns to look right. it was too high maintenance for me. crackle is easier imo - you just paint it on and it does itself!

also, i have too much naked makeup also. but it was just so pretty... i needed to buy it.

i'm also going to buy UD naked2 when it hits sephora.

Quote from kurips

that's a good point. i should probably check my cc... i've had shipping show up on cc before when it wasn't on invoice.
