that's what i feel like i do every year at this time. i hate winter - it's becoming near excrutiatingly painful - with nothing to "fix" it. and no one seems to really understand. "just wear more clothes, heavier clothing"... doesnt work. it's a physical problem incurable, that ppl just dont...

A few weeks ago, we stopped at KFC for a simple Chicken tender meal to share. There were a few people in the restaurant, but no big deal. One guy was in line in front of me placing his order - just a simple chicken dinner. This KFC is combined with a Taco Bell and that side of the restaurant...

I think it started when I was reading the threads on what was happening to thwart our frugal plans - things like car repairs, dental problems, etc. Right after I read that, my toilet broke and had to be fixed ($120 plus parts I bought). The resulting water bill from that incident was a third...

About two years ago (!) I finally became so irritated at how difficult the Prilosec packaging was to open - I have arthritis in my thumbs and peeling that back the first layer of thick paper could be painful - that I wrote the company. I got back an e-mail telling me, in great detail, how to...

We had our airducts cleaned today. I had a coupon for $77 for the air ducts only. Well the guy came out and showed dh just how bad everything was, which we knew because the inspection showed that this really needed to be done. So dh decides that we need to get more done than just the airducts...

if their product wasn't up to your satisfaction?  Did they give you anything free for your troubles? 

Last night I had cooked chicken in the crock pot and some veggies and baked beans. We had a nice dinner but I was so tired so I asked Malcom if he would put the food away while I went to take a bath. he said no problem. So after I take a bath, Malcom is in bed and so is the baby. I went to...

I am sorry about that - and truth be told - I am literally just trying to see if I am being realistic in my perceptions - its hard to have faith in yourself when what you see is negative and you are truly a very optimistic person - my greatest problem always has been (and I hope this comes out...

Sometimes businesses get things wrong. Perfect example: I bought some canned salmon from a certain very reputable company, and found that the flesh of the salmon was very tough. They had a free call number and I 'phoned them. I let them know very politely how bad the product was and why, and...

I bought tons of seeds. These are not cheap seeds either. I wanted to try some unusual plants. Anyway, the packets tell how many seeds are supposed to be in each packet. Now none of these packets had even close to the amount stated on the packet. Example: one said 150 seeds and there were... I...

Normally, I would just complain in this situation, but Gabe feels differently, so I am opening this issue up to discussion. LOL Ok, I ordered a Halloween costume for my son. On the site it had a picture and description of what was included with the costume. The costume arrived and is not as...

I have had such a bad week. The depression has been overwhelming. I went to my Chriro. on Tuesday and he said he had to see me again on Wednesday. Normally I only go two times a week to keep my body in line because of my Fibromyalgia. I went to see him this morning and he said " you haven't...
