Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

[sameyeyam]

Drive by posting...sorry...busy today...can someone PM me Megan's address. I'm at work, I want to get this box sent out today and left my Hyena address list at home.

P.S. Only read a couple of posts. Awesome couponing Bernice and Alex, how in the world do you get out of Costco so cheap. Every time I go it's always around $400.

odd... we took ds8, who was 3yo at the time. he was very curious about everything, it was cute.

in fact, now that i think about it, i'm pretty sure it was a tour designated for families. i think there were other kids as well. they don't have such a thing at your hospital? where will you deliver, tacoma general?

there also was a sibling class, where you could take your child so they can ask questions about what it will be like having a baby in the house, or when mommy's in the hospital, whatever. had ds signed up for that, but i guess it wasn't terribly popular, it got canceled. too bad.

They said it was because I have to fill out my admit paperwork, and I get a tour of the special care nursery. In that case.. I totally understand. I wouldnt want my babies around a bunch of snot nosed little brats if they were in special care.

I am going to deliver at St. Joes. The funky looking one on the hill in Tacoma. Oh.. and those gigantic circular windows they have, DO open. My husband was messing with them, on the TOP FLOOR of the building.. when we were in L&D and I was so affraid one was going to fall out. Men. Cant just leave well enough alone.

Well I have officially injured another human being with my couponing.

Today I am sitting in the deli/Starbucks section at Fred Meyer enjoying a sandwich for lunch. I'm looking at their ad and matching up my coupons. Well I have a plastic accordion type coupon organizer. It's hard to keep the cover open, so I use one of those black binder clips, the kind you find in offices. As I'm sitting there eating I hear a bbboooooiiiinnnnggggg and I look up to see my black binder clip sailing up into the air and it hits a lady in the back of the head that is sitting about 30 feet away. She instantly turns, our eyes meet and I run over and profusely apologize. We both got a good laugh out of it, she wasn't hurt or anything.

Hopefully she didn't follow me out to the parking lot and get my license plate number. I'll know in a few weeks if I receive a lawsuit for assault with a deadly binder clip while couponing!

It wouldn't surprise me though, I've seen Judge Judy.

Hi! So DBF decided last minute he wants to go to Phoenix for the supercross so I'mm looking for a cheap hotel. Looking at hotwire. Never tried them, I'm a little scared because you don't know the hotel till after you pay. It's a 5 1/2 hour drive. We're leaving when I get home from work. I got $10 tickets for the race which turned out to be almost $20 each after ticketmaster fees but that's too far to chance buying them at the stadium.

 

[XTinabell]

Hm I guess I should remove my christmas signature. I need a new one now...oh Pixter

So I'm going to throw my close friend a baby shower and I have no idea what I'm doing. It's quite funny really. I think it's going to be very small because she doesn't know very many people over here in Scotland so hopefully it won't be weird with only five people at the shower

On another note, I went to a tennis shop today to look at racquets, I found this cute racquet that was pink it was the only feminine looking one but the shape was kind of weird. So when the dude came to ask me if I needed help I asked him "Is this a tennis racquet?" He looked at me like I was retarded. Hello, you're in a tennis shop of course it's a tennis racquet! He was polite enough about it but I could tell he thought I was an idiot.

Hm, that sounds like a weird deal. You pay for a hotel that you have no idea what it is? Sounds weird. You should check out travelocity I think it's called, it will give you some different hotels for the area, price ranges and then people who've stayed at the hotel give it a review.

It worked out pretty good. Extended StayAmerica Phoenix - Airport for $91 total for 2 nights.

I have done those deals!! Unless you have your heart set on a certain hotel, it's a pretty good way to go!!!

What??!! No Friday night Hyena Hoe Down?

I just love the "Related Threads" at the bottom. I really wonder how the mind of the person that programmed it thinks?? What could I have said in recent days that would leave this website thinking I would be interested in "Can I find soy milk in the parks"?

All I can think of is...I hope I don't get stuck in an hour long line with the ever so exciting "soy milk seeking family on vacation".

 

[sameyeyam]

Since no one's here I'm off to cruise the community board. If my green light is still on and someone shows up PM me or run like heck...whichever you prefer.

Just a drive by, so I will hide from Alison

Just wanted to toss out that a clearance item was posted on Slick deals for this crib
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/prod...duct_id=5470112&sourceid=23105713971558257851

Graco - Tifton 4-in-1 Crib, Hickory

If you find it at your local Walmart, it will ring up as $30. But it's no guarentee that they even have it in stock.. it was suppose to be gone awhile ago.

Seems like every online baby store is having a big sale, I know a few are going out of business. Plus the bigger stores have tons of clearance right now with various codes, free ship what have you...
Old Navy has tons of stuff at 75% off online.

And at the mall, every store is having a sale... Gymboree (60% off) , Children's Place ($9.99 and under sale). Target clearance is hot right now, tis the season for sales!!

I got my order from Liz Clairborne, laughed at the tags attached for $49, $59 for simple summery tops. I paid $19 shipped for 4 shirts, only one shirt is too big. Quite happy with that purchase.
It was all summery wear, c'mon spring -- I wanna wear something beyond sweaters and long sleeve T's... sigh, I hate winter.

Mornin gals! I have my hospital tour this morning. Cant wait. I took a shower this morning, and felt like my belly was going to explode. Im sure that walking around a giant hospital will be just what I need.

I cant wait until my next Dr. appt.. She had me measured for a support belt, and I should get it at my next appt. I was just going to buy one, but this way its covered by insurance! I just hope it helps.

Good Morning Hyenas! DS had a 9am basketball game. It was their first game, they won. DD had friends over last night, so floor full of sleeping girls, DH just made us all spanish omelettes for breakfast. Yummy!

Now my day will be filled with housecleaning and other such exciting stuff. Hope everyone has a Super Dee Duper Day!

Did an extended grocery run to get my $15 off your next order coupons (OYNO catalinas in "coupon speak") when you buy (wyb) $30 of these items (General Mills and Proctor and Gamble products).

Paid $130 out of pocket (OOP) over 5 orders, came home with $315 worth of groceries.

Also, I have a rebate of $1.99 to send and a coupon offer to turn in receipts to get $150 in coupons from Proctor and Gamble.
Potential trade of UPC's for a rebate that I am not doing.

I will not need to buy cereal for an entire year.

Enough Tide to last me several months.

Eat yogurt everyday for the next 2 months (before it expires).

Have 6 packages of ground turkey, 2 packages frozen breasts, and 3 loaves of bread in my freezer to create into affordable meals.

Razors , "man wash" and "man shampoo" for my stinky beasties. Cleaning products and normal shampoo for me.. because you know no one else cleans around here.

I have a dozen boxes of cereal hanging out in my living room, I need shelves in my closet.

To keep himself entertained between runs out to the car, hubby bought 2 scratch lottery tickets and won $50.

Toys at my local Target are stuck at 30%, most of the baby clearance is at 30% with lots of infant clothes at 50% (but not as good as what I found at Gymboree earlier in the week).

I noticed the large boxes of Pampers wipes (8 packs) is 30% off, might be a good idea to scan and watch for the drop.

I read on Slick Deals that some areas hit 75% off the Graco Duoglider stroller, I know it's not the one Megan wanted.. but maybe a spare for around $40 is a good idea? The snug ride car seats that snap into the stroller are on clearance too.

wow, rockin' day on the hyena thread...

we started swim classes again. we were surprised and thrilled to see ds4's little buddy from preschool in his class. she actually moved to a full-day class in december, so he is a bit sad that he doesn't see her anymore. so what a treat that they'll be in the same swim class! (though they're already acting up a tad together, giggling and not always paying attention...)

ds8 is also gearing up for his team's first basketball game next week. he's so excited to be playing again, and is eager to show me his new skills.
