Another Unofficial Chatterbox Thread- Everyone is Welcome!

That's a cute water bottle I went to the mall after work to shop for my bf's cousin's daughter. She's turning 16 in early May. I went to Victoria's Secret and bought a tote bag, beach towel and flip flops from their Pink line. I hope she likes it.

The mall I went to doesn't have a Disney Store. The closest one is at another mall about 30 minutes away. Was the water bottle promo only for 1 day?

I think I would go crazy if there wasn't a Disney Store nearby for me. Its right next to both my work and my school so it's very accessible. Then again, maybe it's a little too accessible. I think the water bottle promo was for one day only. I am tempted to go back once our mall opens to see if they have any more, because I'm not sure.

Awe that's cute!!! The disney store here isn't doing anything like that, boo. I want one of those I'm in love with them a little bit.

Hi Christina!

They have one for sale at disneyshopping.com. Here's the link: http://disneyshopping.go.com/disney...e-Outdoor-Earth-Day-Mickey-Mouse-Water-Bottle

Good Morning Everyone,

This morning I accidentally took my allergy medication without food. It gave me a stomach ache so I ate some crackers and drank some iced tea, which helped the pain subside.

A few days ago I finally watched HSM3. I thought it was okay but I liked the 2nd one a lot more. The songs weren't bad in this 3rd film but I felt like the story was too short.

I got mine! Actually, I got 2 since I had a whole bunch of water bottles sitting in my car that I very rarely clean out. They had it all set up in the front of the store with somebody standing there so it wasn't hard to miss. Yay! I think they're pretty cute.

Aww...I guess I arrived too late or else I would have chatted with you.

I think it was only for 1 day, yesterday was Earth Day.

I still haven't seen any of the HSM movies.

Really? I liked the 2nd one but the 1st one was cute. I kind of want to see 17 Again because Zac Effron is HOT but I don't think my boyfriend would want to watch it.

There are two Disney Stores about 20-30 minutes away from me. It's not too far. I feel that their merchandise has gotten slightly better but I wish they would carry more adult clothing and merchandise.

My sister is addicted to the HSM movies so I could never have gotten away with not seeing them. Surprisingly, I never saw HSM3, but I'm sure that will only be a matter of time.

I went with a friend of mine to see it on Monday. LOVED it!

I agree, it's a shame they don't have more adult clothing because then I might actually have something to buy. I mostly stick to any new Thumper plushies (because I can never have enough) and any Snow White water globes (because apparently I can never have enough of those either). My collections are ever growing.

Awww...cute pic! : That is one huge Thumper plush! That's cool that you collect water globes.

Dizzy- I left a little post w/visual aids on the previous page 206 for you.

Not a problem - bring a sleeping bag! We have plenty of room - it is just outside with the bunnies, skunks, raccoons, foxes, you probably get the drift

That's so funny. I made the mistake of telling a few of my girlfriends that I saw HSM, they laughed at me! And Zac is hot

So basically you live around Bugs Bunny and Pepe Le Pew? J/k!

Yay! I'm not the only one who thinks that Zac Effron is hunk-a-licious!

Oh yeah!! I managed my first solo shopping trip yesterday! And by solo, I mean without the assistance of my hubby. But not totally...SOLO. I took the three little ones... It went swimmingly. I bought Kaylee a happy meal to keep her entertained, put little Jazzy in the Bjorn, and Vinny in the cart in his seat... I got FAR LESS stares then usual. Im guessing it was the lack of TWO little carseats. Did you all know that twins are an old lady magnet? Some one did stop me to tell me that there is a special place in heaven for me. Better then a special place in hell.. I guess.


hello to our newbies!! Im Megan.. I live just south of Tacoma Wa. Im 28 and I have 4 kids.. Alex is 7, Mikalah is 4, Vinny and Jazzy are our 6 week old twins. I love it! That might be the lack of sleep talking though.

Im STILL REALLY sick, and so are the three little kids.. So that is WICKED fun. Jazzy projectile vomited EVERYWHERE this morning. Dh was like... Im glad I dont have to clean THAT up! It truly is amazing how much puke they can hold. The twins have been sneezing and coughing, and so has Mikalah.. the babies are better today though.. Im glad. Alex had RSV when he was 6 weeks old, and I was really worried about the twins getting it too.. nut they seem to be felling better today, then they were yesterday. I dont think the puking had anything to do with the cold... I think she ate to much to fast..

Oh.. and more fun.. I have gotten an $800. bill from some pathology place for testing the placentas that my insurance wont cover. I didnt ask them to test the placentas!! THEN I get a $900. bill from the peds that my insurance wont cover.. Dhs work STILL hasnt put the babies on our insurance!! Seriously?? Im scraping up money for my RENT, much less that much in medical bills. At least they are covering ME still. I no way I could handle that $20,000. bill from the delivery.

Ummm... Thats all.

 

[sameyeyam]

What is it about medical bills lately? I had my breast MRI done at the hospital here and they billed my insurance company a total of nearly $4,300. Of course the insurance said that was unreasonable, it got reduced to about $2,500, of which I have to pay about $1,900.

I checked and found out that most other places are charging around $2,000 to begin with. I called and of course got nowhere. They told me to send a letter to their billing director, giving him the information on the other quotes I got from their competitors and they will consider reducing the bill. Yeah, right! In the meantime I have to pay the 1,900 by the 27th if I want to get the 10% discount for prompt payment. Then they will give me a refund if they find that they are indeed overcharging. I'm not going to stay up at night waiting for that refund check!

But on the good side, I am very well acquainted with someone that is on their board of directors. You can bet that I am going to tell him what is going on. He's also on the board of trustees of my late bosses charitable foundation. His wife is also a breast cancer survivor, so I have a feeling he might be willing to take a look at it for me. I hate to have to use people that I know to pull strings, but hey if it saves one other breast cancer survivor from getting taken by them, then it's worth it.

Just be glad that I didn't send you the HUGE stack of expired coupons that I found from when I went on vacation in January. They were almost 3 months expired, so figured they wouldn't do you any good. I thought I had sent them to you, but instead they ended up in my Pile o' Procrastination.

I can only go back 3 months total, so yeah.. by the time i got it sorted it wouldn't be worth to keep much longer. My expireds box is happily full now (even with all the pre -made food/mixes/junk removed).

My "pile" is a box, catch all for all of my coupons/flyers/newspaper guts.
It's looking so much better now, I still need to fill my binder. Pulled coupons to use this Saturday for groceries at least.

oh yeah.. and I found expired high value Huggies coupons (printables for $5 and $3) -- forgot to send them OOPS! sorry Megan! My coupon pals posted that I could use them on wipes with no beeps.. guess I will use them afterall , cheaper than flushable wipes

Be sure and call the medical offices that sent the bill. Have their billing people work with the insurance company to dispute it. That's what I'm having done with my MRI reading/interpretation bill right now. I have also formally appealed their decision and turned it over to the WA state insurance commissioner. It's only $276 they are denying, but still it's ridiculous that I should even have to fight for that. I will waste thousands of dollars of their time if they don't approve it. It would be easier and cheaper for them just to pay it.

City Girl! Wish I could flush things like that down my toilet.

 

[funnygarcia]

I'm always amazed at how much a clinic/hospital bills and what medicare considers "reasonable". The majority "accept payment" meaning they won't try to collect what is beyond medicare's "reasonable". Haven't run inot anywhere asking for the other portion.. thank goodness!

I was worried about how medicare and E's insurance would coordinate billing.. haven't got a single bill YET! But considering Medicare takes nealry two years to process a payment...

I don't flush them.. too scared
But then again.. there was the whole underwear flushing incident, it went down and didn't come back. Amazing! But the toy telephone didn't quite make it

We don't have very good insurance at my work, $6,000 family deductible. Still it's better than nothing. Sure hope DH goes back to work soon and has better insurance than mine.

Although in August I am going to apply for a Kaiser Permanente individual policy. My boss will happily give me the $900 he pays for our current insurance to apply towards Kaiser. Then I will have the other $100 a month or so it costs.

Unlike regular insurance policies, Kaiser has about 6 different plans with set prices. If you are accepted you pay the price that everyone pays. Nothing higher because you've had cancer. I talked to their membership office and they said I would have better luck getting accepted once I was 3 years out from my cancer. So this August I will apply.

My brother works for the City. Since it's a small city, he wears many hats. One of the things he has to do is clean the trap at the sewer plant. Feminine products and toddler underwear are the two things that clog up the trap on a regular basis. Mainly on holidays, so he gets called in from his family time.
