Laugh I was wondering if there was a 'menu' with little pictures myself.

wtf?! that's awful porda!! Comfort

i got lucky on my last box of returns - it all went back to cc for me, even the older ones. but i don't know if i've ever gotten a check - i usually get a gc when it's older than 90 days.
thanks - I sometimes get a check when I had paid for something with a GC and return it.
Quote from azn1x6flame :

OMG! That sucks! I have two checks from VS, totaling $2.84, not worth the $24 in fees! That's ridiculous!!! I'm so sorry to hear that.

Please do let us know how it goes. I might hold off in cashing my checks then.
. . .
Thanks. IMO, in a few days they will have gotten so many complaints on it that it will be no problem to get them to cancel the checks you have and switch the credit over to a GC or your original form of payment, like they did for phaltukachra.
Quote from phaltukachra :
Just got off the phone with VS and they are going to send me a GC to cover the rejected check and the back charge.I was afraid they might ask for a fax but thankfully they did not.Thanks P
Thanks for the update. They always seem to be able to do more with a GC...
Quote from longislandgirl :
Thanks for posting. I will hold on to those darn VS checks then. Also how long should I wait ?

VitaCoco nod I've tried a lot of brands and that one is my favorite too. I forget who is asking, but if you want something like a Pina Colada flavor- get the pineapple...but no, they are not overwhelmingly coconutty, just a nutty flavor to the water. It's good IMO. Oh... and yes tons of K+, great for preventing muscle cramps if your diet is crap (DH).

Pls see what I wrote above to azn~ I think they need a little time for the problem to become so prevalent that they are ready for your to request a different form of refund. I would say my "friend" or "sister" had the experience we described here, that you're worried and just in case- you want it changed.

*Good Luck Ladies!*

Liggy got me one and I've been dying to use it, but haven't had the chance to. I know that Porda uses one and I was amazed when she pulled it out. laugh out loud I think it's very useful!
Oh yeah, I heart that thing. Mine is super compact so I don't have to worry about breaking the arm off. Got it at Marshall's/Ross. The other day, I saw a woman set her bag on the floor next to the toilet of a public bathroom. EEK! This was especially nasty b/c her purse didn't have any metal feet to at least lift the fabric off the floor vomit

DH snores. The following is a list of things we've done to abate the problem:
1) no sleeping on his back
2) when congested, take a decongestant or he'll be more likely to breathe out of his mouth
3) Breathe-right strips are kept at the ready in the nightstand.

Those strips don't work for everyone- for DH it is quite dramatic- nearly eliminates DH's snoring... I put one on a guy we were sharing a hotel room with and it didn't help at all. Frown I hope the strips work for you!

I do that too sometimes.
You could get him to go to the dr and get a cpap machine. Snoring is bad for you.

He used to not snore... or maybe not loud enough to bother me. I noticed this just within the last year.

What cream eyeshadow would you all recommend? I want singles, because I'm boring & only wear a few colors. I liked the looks of the elf eyeshadow, but I want a better brand to wear out. The elf shadow doesn't go on smoothly.



We should add a list of polish combos that work well together to the WIKI. You can start. Stick Out Tongue




Thanks for looking it up for me liggie & thanks for doing the math bella. That is a lot of calories for water. If only I didn't have to worry about calories. Sadwalk
there have been a lot of favorable reviews of the new maybelline eye tattoo cream shadows. i think there's a l'oreal version too. they're supposed to be very pigmented and extremely long wearing! i have yet to try them myself tho. (and sorry, those brands aren't that much better than ELF)

~ UPDATE ~ * VS has no idea what's going on, hold off on cashing your checks!*
My bank (Chase): They waived the fees on all 6 "returned" checks. woot They said they can't fax VS sh*t b/c it is a personal bank account, they can't send your account info out like that. I explained the situation and right off the bat they offered to waive those fees (*cough* IMO, those are BS anyway). She did it in 30 seconds.
They said notation on it looked like the checks were written from an account that was closed instead of over-drafted. :shocking :
Thanks for the update. I'm very happy that this is resolved! VS is being Crazy Maybe I should just let the $2 go.

Good to know that Chase was nice enough to get rid of your fees. I just opened a Chase account for the $$$ credit, but it seems like based on your experience, they're pretty decent. My main bank is BOA, not sure how they would've reacted to this.

I wouldn't be a to function on that amount of sleep.

His is worse when he's super tired too. It's annoying though.

Has he gained weight during this time? That is a big cause of snoring.
