I was the same way on myself...but finally over time learned that sometimes life has it's own idea of where I am going to be and it can be different than what I had planned <G>. Bret, my Dobe, is the one who is sick but I am thanking my lucky stars he is ok. Just dealing with the recovery time and a bout of pneumonia (he aspirated during surgery) and so far, so good. Bloat, which he had, often leads to death so believe me I feel very blessed he is ok so far! Thanks for the good thoughts! Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Colleen Her health is going REALLY well. I don't remember if I posted before regarding her latest news. The surgeon in Syracuse has postponed all her monthly ultrasounds until she's a year old and decided not to do the CATScan for the time being, too.. He said the cyst appears to be shrinking according to the last ultrasound!! He was very excited to call my daughter and tell her. Thanks for asking. Baby Pics Jeanine- You make sure you tell Val she sure does have a pretty baby for me! Vadel is a doll, with such a neat name! - a is such an angel! She's gotten sooo big! I hope all is well with her medically too. Colleen Country Meadow Creations http://www.countrymeadowcreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 > > Glad to hear FIL is in good spirits. I actually spoke to him a few hours ago. Think I woke him up. He said he's only in pain when he moves, eats. He's fine if he sits still. He did get up and walk 15 steps today. It took him 20 minutes, but he did it. Still not sure when he's coming home. But it's good that is there cause his mom is over doing it. Superwoman doesn't understand that she needs to let others help her. It's her nature to nurture and take care of others, not for others to take care of her.

Do you have to pay up front to do that or are they made as they're ordered by people? You just upload your logo to their site, pick which of the products they carry you want to put your logo on, choose the price you want to sell each at, and people order directly from them. They make them when they are ordered. I've known about the site for quite a while, but never got around to checking into the selling aspect of it.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Yup, us little guys always end up on the short end of the stick. I haven't written any letters yet but intend to do that via certified mail as soon as I have a break in the action in my life. This week has been 'the week from hell' starting with Sunday night. I dropped my 16 yr old daughter, Kaitlyn, off at her girlfriends and they were supposed to go rent a movie. Not a half hour after leaving her I got a frantic call from her to get down to Elm Street - that they had been in a car accident. She said the police were there and they were all sitting in the ambulance but she said she was OK. Boy, no stress there - right? I got to the scene in about 2 minutes flat and there were two tow trucks, an ambulance and 3 cop cars there. People were lined up on the sidewalks (residential neighborhood) and the 5 girls that were in the club-cab truck (including my daughter) were all sitting in the ambulance with the EMT's. All the girls insisted they were fine and didn't want to go to the hospital. I was a little leary about signing the papers that state that you " refused " hospital transport but they assured me that I wasn't signing away any rights regarding any future treatment if needed. The girls were going through an intersection and a woman ran a stop sign and they broadsided the woman. Then the woman's car continued a little further and crashed into a car that was parked in a driveway. Kaitlyn and her friends all had their seatbelts on but Kaitlyn's head whipped back and then forward where her mouth & jaw hit the headrest on the front seat (she was sitting in the backseat). Those club-cab trucks have tiny little seats with hardly any room. They said the woman was going about 40 miles an hour and her car was totaled. She never even got out to see if the girls were OK. She just started screaming at them when they got out accusing them of running their stop sign. They didn't have a stop sign - the woman did!! She did get a ticket, too. We have since found out that this is that woman's 4th accident in 4 years!! When we got Kaitlyn home the swelling, redness, & black & blue started showing up on her face and she had a huge blood pocket inside her lower lip. She said her jaw hurt up by her ear, too. So my husband took her down to the police station & they added it to the police report and told him to take her over to the Fire Station & have the paramedics check her over again. I took pictures just in case, too. The next day I took her to Urgent Care and they took a series of xrays from ear to ear but didn't think anything was broken or dislocated - but it would be a few days for the actual readings to come back from a radiologist. Then the next day she stayed home from school with a bad headache and I got her into our dentist to make sure her teeth weren't loosened. He thinks they're OK but was concerned with the pain in the jaw by the ear. He could feel a clicking in her jaw when she opened her mouth and said she's suffering from TMJ which can get very serious and cause severe headaches and other problems. Oh, great!! He wants her to cut up her food in tiny pieces, no gum chewing and said she shouldn't even yawn. Moist warm compresses applied numerous times a day and wants to see her in 6 weeks. If she still has the problem we'll be referred to a specialist in Utica. Now I'm learning all about the insurance " bull.... " people go through with car accidents. Did you know that in NYS that even though it was the other driver's fault the medical bills go against the insurance company of whoever is driving the car your in? What a crock that is. The mother of my daugher's friend who was driving was told by her insurance company that if the bills aren't too high they should probably pay them out of their pocket so that their rates don't go up. I don't know if they told her the truth or were just trying to get her to not file a claim for my daughter's bills. It doesn't make sense that their rates would go up when the other driver was at fault!! Well, I've rambled on long enough. I won't even get into the other things that have gone wrong in my life this week. I feel like digging a hole and burying my head until Spring. Anybody want to join me?? Re: Update - Unclaimed Package? - Sooooo sorry to hear about your problem! That's terrible of them not to pay you on time. From what you've said so far, it seems that this is a " big " company, and they are taking advantage of " the little guy. " That's just not cool! I hope that you are able to resolve the problem without going to court. However, if they don't want to pay up, I'd do what needed to be done to get your money out of them. Good luck to you & keep us posted! Colleen Handcrafted & Decorative Soap http://www.countrymeadowcreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Colleen Boy, you've got that right about insurance being a rip-off. My husband always says that insurance companies are the closest thing to being illegal as you can get and he's right. - accident How awful!!!! I hope your daughter is doing better. That must have scared the crap out of the girls, especially with that obnoxious woman screaming at them. I really hope that everyone is okay! Insurance stinks! Doesn't matter if it's auto, home owners, or medical. They are all a big rip-off.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Colleen Yes, I remember you telling us about that computer deal with QVC. They really are a great organization to deal with. I wouldn't mind working for a company like that. I bet they're great to their employees, too. Re: New subject > Do any of you ever buy things from QVC? Sorry to hear about the heater . I don't buy from QVC, but have to say I am impressed with them too. A few years ago I got a call from QVC asking me to confirm the $2000 computer I ordered from them with my credit card. Somehow, someone had got my American Express credit card info & ordered this computer from QVC and was having it shipped to FL. The QVC people were very nice. They said that I had never purchased from them before, then having it shipped to an address that was not my billing address raised a red flag. Needless to say that whoever did this also bought Dominoes pizza in FL, and something at some store in Ithaca, NY. Filed a police report & never had to pay a dime. Thank goodness!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Very very smart, girl. Way to go!! Re: scam? I recently got one of those emails too. LOL, anytime someone wants samples/donations from me I think it's a scam! I politely replied that at this time I do not send samples or donations and that I do have a clearance page with products at deeply discounted prices. I then include the page addy & wish them luck!
