Me too stormy, hurts like hell. Lesson learned, don't stand over little guy when going to pick him up. I mean this is serious stuff, I think jaw is out of alignment now and possible dental work.

What's up with Ryan--still not eating? I hope it's nothing, please keep us posted.
Just not eating and sleeping all the time. He sleeps from 7pm to 7am most days and lately for the last 3 weeks, he has also been napping anywhere from 3 -4+hrs, his naps used to 2 hrs. So now he is only awake 8 hrs a day, and hasnt been too active. Today he did have a good day and was running around like a lunatic. Saturday morning he slept until 9am, so he was awake only part of the day. The Ped said if he wasnt better by last Monday to bring him in, I gave it another week and still not better.

Hope your jaw feels better I hate anything to do with teeth

Wow that's going on too long. My guy sleeps 7p-6:00 or 7a and takes 2 hours of naps, I can't imagine if he napped 4 hours.

Sorry to read people are injured / sick. Frown I had a bad day today (two toddlers having temper tantrums all freaking day) but it could have been worse. When my hubs was very small, he ran away from his mom while shopping. She fell and broke her tailbone. ouch.

No way, you guys are babies compared to me. I'm an old fart. Maybe I'll use overages to buy some wrinkle cream.

Decided to wait until tomorrow to call doc. Remembered I'm on a new insurance plan this year where it costs me a bundle to go to ER. Alleve is my BF right now. Target isn't even a 7th cousin twice removed.
Firstly - you CAN NOT be that old ... I think you are about my age?? At least that is my guess! But man I need some wrinkle cream for those "laugh lines" ... no one would believe that anyone laughs that much laugh out loud

Secondly - man oh man! I am sorry you are in such pain! I really hope that you can find something to relieve it and no perm damage has been done! Kiddos will be the death of us!

Quote from amazongrl :
Hello everyone!wave I am halfway tempted to go talk to him the next time I see him at Target and give him and earful in front of his "head of store" about talking smack about customers to other customers. Sorry for the book. What do you think?
I think that he is downright rude! I do not understand the attitude of some of these folks about coupons --- ESPECIALLY when one is using them correctly! BAH! I feel for you!

Quote from stormy_cat :
Any Nurses on tonight?Ariel anyone else???

Having a problem here and not sure what to do...Any opinions out there
I do hope that you are feeling better!!!!!! That is awful! I would guess you need more fluids and perhaps more sugar - sending HUGS!!!

Quote from megnsamsgrace :
Well I wont be around for a bit...Now to try and explain this to the 2 younger ones when they wake up tomorrow.
I am VERY VERY SORRY for your loss!!!! You & your family are in my thoughts and prayers!!! HUGS to all of you!!!!!!

Quote from imperialto :
fyi, i know ppl getting pissed about coupons, Someone and their son came in with a cart full of crest whitening strips returning them w/o reciept Wink that used a debit card (sys does not show any cpns applied) and we all know that there has been coupons netting a huge chunk of change off the price if not making them free and got back $1600 OMG in one outing. Target has a return policy, I think of anything under $40 doesn't need reciept (prolly b/c of the onetouch monitor scams (free glucose monitor after cpn and returning those $80).This is taking Slick deal to the ultimate extreme!
This makes no sense to me at all!! I have very very rarely returned anything and I think the value of my returns has never been more than $20 or maybe $30 (it has been so infrequent I can't even remember) - and everytime I am asked why I am returning it ... WTH would you say returning a whole cart of CWS??? And for that $$$ amount wouldn't some sort of manager have to be called for approval??? Don't they have the right to refuse a return? I can't imagine how this went AT ALL!! Are you sure this is not just a tall tale?

Man I WISH my little one would sleep that long! My youngest daughter goes to sleep at about 10-10:30pm and is up by 7am and then will take 1 nap per day (about 1 hour in length) --- sometimes less. I think my kiddos are insomniacs LOL

On a different note - has anyone ever used the Under Jams? Do they work as well as Goodnights?

Yes, they seem to work equally well but I found that the sides weren't as durable as those on the Goodnites.

Well good grief! Now I feel like someone's great-grandfather! I am more than that coupon's age plus ArielA's age! And I have a birthday at the end of the month! Just you wait until I post my coupon contest entry!!!
I was thinking the same thing! I just had a birthday on the 4th and was feeling old. Now I feel REALLY old! EEK!
I did stop at Target today and get some of the Sobe Life Water. I bought 10, for $1 each, used 10 .50 coupons found at a gas station and got a $5 giftcard. So, really it was free Sobe!

Just popping in to say I got a good deal last night even though it took me forever to get it all done....it's long....just bypass if in a hurry.nod

went to look at clearance patio....still 30% very few at 50%
had an employee come over and scan the BIG box of furniture to see how much since no tag no red tag nothing.
scans 174.98 We're like WHOA!!! That's more than 30 or 50 definitely.
two chairs, two seated couch thing, and table. cream wicker.
We originally were just stopping in to get the dark wicker magada i think. but it was still 30 and the stuff was disappearing quickly.
so we debate....wait for what we REALLY want to go lower and risk not being there....been there done that last summer and really want it this time OR get this awesome deal and just be done with it.

Well of course we get the deal. We go to pay I also get 3 sunkist and ice cream and use 3 coupons. My dh pays and I go meet friends who bring their truck around. Of course I'm married to the man who never looks at receipts and usually doesn't know what a bargain is... so while they are loading I look at receipt and it is for 3xx.xx so I'm like WTH!!!!!

We were charged 279.xx for the furniture. I run back in and holler don't leave!!! I find the manager or someone important and say there's been a mistake. She says No there is no way that was marked that. We are only at 30%. So I'm like seriously it rang up 174.98. She goes out to truck and scans the upc. 279.xx. I'm like no way!!! I'm telling you it rang up at 174.98. My dh agrees with me and she's like no way. I say go get the kid who rang it up in back. I describe him and she calls for him over the radio. She keeps telling us there is nothing they can do. My dh says take it off the truck. We will wait for the darker version. I said wait.

We go back in and the boy comes up and she starts talking to him quietly away from me so I walk up and he looks at me so I say do you remember ringing up the cream wicker? He says yes...174.98. I cheer.Yahoo! Yahoo! Yahoo! out loud! I was never so happy to have someone confirm I'm not a liar.

She's still....there's no way. We all go outside again. They scan EVERY upc they can find and ALL of them ring up 279.xx. The kid, me and dh are like EEK! Then the kid gets a brilliant idea bulb and says can I get in the truck and pick the box up? I'm like sure go for it. He does and scans a upc .....drum roll 174.98 woot The manager is dumbfounded. She says I'll be right back...she goes to get someone higher up and talks on the radio telling the story...we can hear the whole thing outside. She's telling him we've got a problem and this lady is going to want the price of 174.98 and that she has no idea what is going on.

Finally he comes out and scans all of the upc and then the low one and READS the scanner. It is for a glider....dum dum dum...Mad After another 10-15 minutes discussing it and telling him that's why we grabbed this one because of the price and he should honor it since it is marked and so forth....he tells me to come inside.

He decides to tell me that after much thought it is the store's fault and he will honor the price and credits my cc. He commences to gripe at the kid saying that is why we say to only scan the pictures not the upcs. Someone put the wrong sticker on the box and you should have noticed. He apologizes to the man and looks terrified. As I walk off the kid is near me and I ask if he is going to be in trouble.... he says he's pretty mad...probably.

I turn around and high tail it to the manager lady and this man. I beg them not to punish this kid because he was just doing his job, scanned the barcode and voila. They both thank me for being so concerned and tell me that he will not be in trouble. The man grabs the kid by the neck and sideways hugs him and jokes that they all just need to be a little more careful. I thank them and walk off with the lady and I tell her I really don't want the kid in trouble and she says don't worry about it, he won't be and I tell her that I just couldn't pass up the bargain and she says I would have wanted it too. Don't worry about the kid..

We leave and dh and I are in the car and he says don't you feel like we are in the IKEA commercial? and commences to WOOOOOOHOOOOOO hollering down the street.

So saved about 60% and don't have to keep stalking the patio furniture.....not as good as 75% off but no risking losing the deal or pieces so it worked out well for us.

Sorry for the long post....

Megnsamsgrace.....I am so very sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Doublesided.....I hope your jaw feels better soon. I've been in pain with a nose or headbutt, but man.....he nailed you good. I hope it gets better and keep up the aleve.

Bronc, Targetmagic, Tracy......I'm in the age club, too. That 1982 coupon....I was 9. Smilie You know....I work in a resturant a few days a week and I have to card people when they order alchohol and when I see any 1980's birth, I always think.....holy cow, I was already in the double digits.

BTW, since we're all giving our ages.....I was born in 1970....yeah, that makes me 38 peeps. (I can't believe I actually typed that) ......off to go use some wrinkle cream! laugh out loud

For those who are using the Barbie/Hot Wheels peelies at KMart, what else are you getting with it? I don't get a KMart ad, and I am sure if I just used those peelies, it would send a red flag up.
