CVS Info:

First of all, you will need a CVS ExtraCare card. This is obtained easily at any store at the register. Some will ask you to fill out the form then and there, others will just give you the card and ask you to return the form later.

Once you have the card, you can now start CVSing

The biggest thing to understand is that CVS uses a promotional program called "ExtraCare Bucks" (commonly abbreviated as ECBs.) These print out on your receipt immediately once you purchase an item offering them; almost like an instant-rebate you get at the register. You can turn around and use them anytime on almost anything in the store, except for alcohol, cigarettes, and gift cards.

Often, CVS advertises items as "Free after ECB" – For example, throughout the month of November, CVS has Crest Pro Health Whitening Toothpaste in 4.2 oz size, for free after ECB. The cost is $3.49, but you get $3.49 back instantly on your receipt. The best part is that there are often coupons available that can actually help you earn money… like for the above toothpaste, there are $1 off coupons available, meaning the item would be $2.49, but you get $3.49 in ECBs back. The limit on this toothpaste for this month is 2. So if you wanted to start off small to get into CVSing, the thing to do would be to buy one toothpaste in the first transaction (and use a coupon if you have one, so that you either pay $3.49 or $2.49 in cash), then use the $3.49 ECBs you get back from that first transaction to pay for the second tube of toothpaste, and again, receive $3.49 more in ECBs.

The trick now is to roll your ECBs so that you rarely pay more than maybe a dollar or two in tax on transactions, instead using your ECBs from previous transactions… then earning more to keep doing the same. It's a cycle (and a game/addiction to some, lol.)

one of my fav grams stories. my aunt wants to keep her busy doing things she can do, so they tried to have her cook a vegetable curry. this turned into 4 lemon meringue pies, one of which she forgot the lemons.

yeah, when we think like that we all end up depressed. we're just so helpless. especially when grams has a domineering personality.. she can't live with one of my aunts. they're not around/able to cater to her needs. grandpa ends up in the hospital so worried about her. after an accident she was in a nursing home for a week. every day she kept asking to leave.. she hates it there. she'd rather die then live out in a care home :-/


it does have value in spare parts..
Do you mind me asking how old she is? When did her symptoms show up? Has it been a gradual or pretty rapid decrease in her mental awareness?

wow, Arj, it sometimes takes me 3 tries to get the right name out to my stepgirls and Bekah. I remember once this Summer I did this number "Ka, um, no Bek, um, no EMILY!"

What does this say about me, and i'm only 27. My gosh i'm gonna suck as an old person! Sadwalk

hug I'm sorry. Treasure the moments you have now. Don't mourn what you haven't lost yet. Now is the time to get video or audio of him telling stories. I have a cassette somewhere of my grandparents talking and it's awesome.

I worry so much about my dad. He retired 9 years ago from the university I attend. He knew all of the buildings on campus inside and out. I mentioned one of the buildings that was one of the original ones and he he looked confused. I repeated it several times and he said "I don't know that building." My heart sank. This is a building he has been in hundreds of times before.

she's 70 now. i think there have been minor symptoms we over looked for the last few years. i can't remember what happened but day of my cousins birthday she had something go wrong and made a big deal. we took her to the docs and they did tests and it came back early whatever. not sure what, we'll have to wait and see. she's not all there, but can still live a general normal life if she's up to it.

she's now paranoid of things that happened to friends/family. ie, her hip or knee hurts, and she knows of friends/family who fell and got seriously hurt. so she really doesn't want to walk/risk it. i had to drive her and gramps multiple times to the doc to get him familiar with the roads, and more imporantly her to accept going there. she's quite pissy with forms/new people. with me there she didn't make a scene. how i ended up doing it when i'm rarely there, i have no idea.

My dad got me a terrabyte external backup drive for Christmas last year. I'm finally using it, lol. It's taking six minutes to backup my pictures. That's when I know I take too many, lol. I hope my computer doesn't die before I've got everything backed up. I should have done it sooner. I backed up all the SS too just in case. I hate AOL cause you can't back up your mail there.
