thanks for the shout out debbie.
went and posted there.



no rain at all up here today. missed the news tonight so not sure who got hit with the storms.

lights out chicagoland homies.
catch you in the morning....
 
That newspaper article really helped me get some exposure :thumbsup2
I got several phone calls yesterday with people asking me where I'm located, and asking me questions about a jersey they want to frame.
I even had someone place an order due to the article :thumbsup2
Yesterday was a good day!!!! :goodvibes


The alarm company came and strung a new wire, and they said if that doesn't work, then they have to change a panel. I told them that they now owe the town $300 (I told her I'm not paying the town and her both), and that they are losing money hand over fist, because my friends won't use them now, and the entire police dept thinks they are awful, and therefore, they won't suggest them to anyone. I talked to one of the owners for the first time today, and she didn't realize the severity of the situation - now she does!!! ::yes::


Bunchkin - OMG, I can't believe your SIL wrote all that:guilty: :mad: (2 smilies for that one). I love Mac's advice, and I agree with her ::yes:: Posting on her blog is an awesome idea, and I bet it would really freak her out to see your post.
*How did Lauren do at the dentist yesterday?

mac - great advice for Bunchkin!!:thumbsup2

geffric - How is work going for you? Have things gotten better there?

piglet - I already told them (but they didn't tell the owner I said this - I found that out yesterday when I talked to her) that I have a bill from them for $105, and I will happily send them a check for $5 because I WILL NOT pay them + pay the town - it's just not happening!!! The owner said that she understood, so we'll see what happens:rolleyes: It's like a little soap opera:sad2:

Donna - Good for Christopher for getting his resume's out :) Has he had any interviews yet? That's also great that Brian is going back to school :teacher: I wish them both a ton of luck, and I'll send them alot of good luck PD:wizard: :wizard:

HERSEY - How is Alex enjoying his summer? :sunny:

Debbie - I"m glad you had a nice day downtown, and didn't get stuck by all that rain :umbrella: I didn't get a drop of rain by me, and I would have really liked it if I did.
*I'm sorry about your DH's heart:guilty: Please keep us posted on how he is doing :grouphug:




Well, I gotta run and go water my flowers :flower:
Have a good day today everyone!! :wave:
 

Good Morning all!! :wave2:



Going to the movies this morning. This weeks flick being run at Marcus Theatre is 'The Last Mimzy'.



More info on sister in laws blog:
Just noticed last night that one of her comments mentioning that she locked down part of her blog to her "blog friends" to only see......BECAUSE HER BROTHER'S SISTER WAS PERUSING HER BLOG!!!! :eek:
I have no clue how she would know that!!!
I asked DH if he had mentioned it to his mom, who would have passed it along, but he said no.
Needless to say she is still publicly saying things she shouldn't.
And to make matters worse, and against my advise, DH called his mom last night to ask her if he had told her about his sister's blog, and then in turn told the sister!!!! :sad2: :mad:
Now for sure she knows we are reading it!!! :rolleyes:
So not only am I mad at the sister in law....but also with DH for opening his big mouth when we agreed we would wait on it!!! :mad:
I give up on the whole situation for now.
Things like this will eat away at me until it brings on heart palpitations again! Too much stress!!!

Thanks for all the advise and concern. DH says he's cutting her off 100%.




slo Good to hear that the article is having a good affect!! :yay:
Hope your alarm works better now!!


Debbie No heart meds for me. And occasionally I am still getting irregular rhythms. So I need to go see the doctor again.
I hope everything works out for your DH!!


mac I like your advise of posting on the blog. But I'm thinking that she probably could & would delete anything I comment on. :rolleyes:


WendyBirdGirl Thanks for stopping by the Chicago Thread!! Everyone's welcome here!!! :wave2:





I have to go feed the kiddies and get ready to go out!!!
Have a great day everyone!!! :wave:
 
WendyBirdGirl -- :welcome:

Debbie -- :grouphug: I hope your DH is feeling better soon.

Slo -- I'm glad the article worked. Any coupons from the parades showing up yet? How frustrating with the alarm company!

Bunchkin -- :scared1: regarding SIL and her blog. Is she reading things here (so she found out you knew about the blog?) -- just a thought.

Hello to everyone else.

I've been reading but not posting much.

There was no rain here recently & I hope it holds off at least until late this afternoon. DD is being an Aide at Girl Scout daycamp this week, so I've been busy with getting kids where all they need to go.

I've been busy trying to sew some stuff for the kids. I have been buying tons of fabric (thanks to the Kid's Boutique/Custom Clothes thread on the family board here) but not actually making anything. I'm not great at sewing so it takes me a while to do anything, figured before DH had my head for spending so much money on this stash of fabric, I should start making something! :lmao: I'm just hapy I finished a pair of Thomas shorts for DS-3 and they actually worked. Last time I attempted pants of any sort I ended up with it being more of a clown outfit than anything you could actually wear! Tops, I can sort of do but haven't attempted shorts/pants due to that but they worked.
 
Good morning all. Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. DH sister and her family are in from Buffalo, so we have been spending time with them.
Slo, good for you to have some business coming in. We have a big parade near me for the 4th of July if you are still looking for parades to walk in.:rotfl: I hope you get lots of people to start coming in.
Shame on that alarm company. They better pay all your city charges!!! You have called them enough times now, that they are well aware of the issue. They should be responsible.
Becky, happy sewing. Is your DS really into Thomas? I have toddler bedding, valances, wall appliques, light switch cover, and pillow I would love to get out of my house!!:rotfl2: Was thinking of putting it on Craig's list, but I don't really know how to do that. Tired of the garage sale thing, too. Lots of work. Little pay. :lmao:
Bunchkin, how is the movie? Was taking DD tomorrow, but now not sure if we can make it. Played soccer last night, and my old age finally caught up with me in my sports. I broke my ankle. :scared1: Waiting to hear from DRs. now. Was at Urgent Care til 12:30am, had an x-ray and it showed the break. Spiral fracture to left lateral malleolus (outside bone just above the ankle). I am supposed to follow up quickly with the ortho.:rotfl2: Tell that to the HMO. Tried contacting my MD this morning, she is not in the office til this afternoon, tried having her paged, but she didn't call back. I did speak with the ortho office and they are supposedly looking at the films to be sure it is not super urgent that I get in there. I told them, if there is a delay in treatment resulting in need for futher care, I will not let it slide. HMOs can be a real pain in the ***. But they pay for everything if done correctly. Getting proper care should not be so difficult.
Oh, and as for your SIL, I think you should confront her directly and matter-of-factly. Not work yourself up. Just simply state your problem with her and her attitude and tell her it needs to stop, and the concern needs to be with MIL and nothing further at this time.
Are you drinking any caffeinated beverages with your heart palps? That can really mess me up.
Deb, glad you had a nice day in Chicago. How was the view? We had no rain here yesterday but it poured about 9:30 this morning. Now the sun is out.
Hersey, geffric piglet too, hope you are all having a nice day.
Welcome WendyBirdGirl. Enjoy your time as a CM. Come check in often.
Well, better run. Need a shower. (That should be interesting.:rolleyes1 ) Finally got a hold of someone in the MD office and see them at 1:30. The med assist was like, well you haven't been in to see the MD since 2003.:rolleyes1 (if it's not broke, no need to fix it.:lmao: )
Later all.

Tiggern The movie was good. Lauren really enjoyed it, but it was a little over Hunter's head and there was a couple parts that kind of scared him a little.
Sorry to hear about your ankle!!! Ouchywawa!!! :eek: I'm assuming you're going to have it casted soon? Keep us updated!


Becky My sister in law made the comment about me reading her blog last month. Way before I even mentioned it here, which was for the first time yesterday.
And she doesn't know any of my user names or even have a clue what sites I hang out on.
But thanks for the concern!! :hug:
 
WendyBirdGirl -

and congrats on becoming a WDW CM:cheer2: Please come visit anytime - we would love to get to know you better!!!

Bunchkin - This blog situation is getting worse and worse:guilty: :mad: I don't blame Tony for cutting her off completely - how sad!!!:guilty: He must feel really hurt by what she is doing.
*I'm glad you had a good time at the show - I never heard of that movie. Who's in it, and what's it about?

Becky - The only parade coupon that surfaced was from a customer that placed an order before the parades. He asked if he could use it on an order he didn't pick up yet. The coupon clearly says it has to be used at the time of purchased, but I caved and said he could use it.

Tiggggggernnn - OMG about your ankle!!!:eek: How are you today? Are you in alot of pain? I feel so bad for you!! Many hugs to you :hug: :hug: :hug: and lots of PD to help you get better fast :wizard: :wizard: :wizard: :wizard:



Well, I best jump in the shower and get ready for my day
Have a good day everyone!! :wave:
 
Hi all-

Tiggerrn- sorry to hear about your broken ankle. Hope you heal up soon:wizard:

Slo- hope all gets better with the alarm situation :wizard:

Debbie- enjoyed your Florida and WDW pics!

WendyBirdGirl- Welcome! Congrats on becoming a CM :cool1:
Which NW suburb are you from?

DonnaW- Enjoyed your TR and pics of Macinac Island!

Hope all is well with everyone.
 
Hi Everyone!!

Tiggerrn - YEOUCH! I hope you get this all sorted out and I hope you aren't casted too long. Casts in hot weather... ickey and itchy. I'll be sending my best doses of pixie dust your way.

Slo: Sorry about all this alarm trouble, but I'm glad to hear the business is picking up. Word of mouth will spread really fast once a few wonderful things are framed and people begin to talk about you.

Bunchkin! Man... that SIL of yours?? :confused: She's either completely socially inept or just a downright nasty person. I can't believe she would try to have "that talk" with Lauren. Lauren doesn't need to know such things at her age. She has plenty of time to learn the facts of life. :sad2: Tony is a no-nonsense kind of guy and I'm sure he means business when it comes to his family. I really wouldn't want to mess with him. I'd be interested to learn how your sil was able to track your IP address and know it was you?? If she puts stuff out on the internet for all to see, then she best better expect it to be read. Now she's gone and hidden it and that makes me more worried. What the hell is she saying that you can't see???

Well, the weather certainly has changed! I'm glad too. When I walked out of my office building yesterday it was like getting hit with a wall of heat and humidity, but by the time I got off the train, it was starting to crisp up.

YAY cool breezes!!

Take care, be back later!!

:dance3:
 
Good morning everyone!! :wave2:



I just got done paying for my seat assignment with Airtran for our trip to WDW in Sept.!!! Can you believe they charge for that now!!???
I guess in a way it's an advantage to waiting till 24 hours out from the flight time to go on line and get seats. At least I know what our seats are and that we are all seated together!!!! :)


Brand new Aldi opens today right down the road.......going to check it out is the HIGHLIGHT of my day today!!! :rotfl: That and cleaning!!! PARTY TIME!!!! :rolleyes:



slo You're a push over!!! :rotfl: ....letting people use a coupon after the order has been placed!! :rotfl: That was really nice of you! :goodvibes




Sam I would NEVER EVER have a facts of life talk with anyone else's child!!! Can you imagine someone doing that??? SIL hasn't a clue!! Her and her husband think they are the know all, be all's of everything. Plus they consider themselves experts in rearing children all though they have none of their own.
Tony's mom goes in for additional testing for her cancer tomorrow, which his sister will be calling him afterwards about it. At that point I don't know if he's going to tell her off and then be done with her OR just leave it alone and end it.
I don't know if she could have traced my IP. I don't know how she could have done that. I looked into the FAQ section of the blog site she uses and it doesn't seem like that would be possible from their end at least. You can either have a public blog or private blog. I can tell you that things she made public last summer, INCLUDING MY HEART PROBLEMS!!, are now deleted from her blog (at least public view wise).
And you should see the comments her friends have said about us too!!! :sad2: :mad:
 
Nicole, that's just crazy about the blog situation!!!! Does she read the DIS boards?? Maybe she found out here?? I believe the DIS Boards are google-able (is that even a word??? lol)

I have a blog on my myspace, but it's friends-only!!!!!!!!

It amazes me what personal info people put out there.... :sad2:


So...how are you all??? :jumping1:
 
Boy oh boy, these cloudy days always make me feel so sleepy :rolleyes:


Rose - :wave2:

Bunchkin - I love Aldi!!! They did some remodeling in the one by me, and it's pretty nice now. I've noticed that it's getting busier and busier in there, which is good for them, but they always have only one cashier - so annoying!!! It always takes me forever to get out of there - but then when I see me receipt, I feel better;)

Sam - Thanks!! :)
*How's Megan enjoying her daycamp/daycare?

Jedi - Hi there!!! :wave2:



Well, I'm off to get some work done
Later gaters!!! :wave:
 
Darn wireless out here ate my post!

Tiggerrn ~ Ouch! I hope you can get that taken care of soon.

Bunchkin ~ Where is the new Aldi at?


We are on "vacation" out at my in-laws. (They live south of the Quad Cities) Dewain and I will be here for a couple of days, but the kids stay for a whole week!!
 
jedi Hope you're doing well!!! :)
I don't know if SIL reads this site.
But she locked up her blog to private mode in Feb, made a public statment that it was because of me in late May, and I never mentioned her blog here until the other day. So it can't be that she read it here.

Regardless, she has no business speaking of family matters in a public domain.



slo Every time I go to Aldi it is packed. And some times it is only one checker, but what are you going to do?


piglet The new Aldi is in Lockport on Farrell Rd south of 159th St. Which is closer to me then driving to the one in Frankfort or Homer. They put out a coupon for $5 a $30 purchase for the new store.
It's right across from the new SUPER Walmart that is being built! I'm hoping that place will be done by the fall!!!
Have a good time with the in laws!! :)
 
good thursday to all the chicagoland homies !!

tiggernn..........ouch, i hope you update us on your ankle.
maybe they will put a mickey mouse cast on you so you'll have happy thoughts when you walk.

sandy......i hope you get a lot of business

jedi.....good to see you hear.


hope all have a great day today.......
 
Hi everyone. Boy did it cool off in a hurry here!!
Went to the ortho today. He set my ankle in a pneumatic boot instead of a cast. I can take it off to shower, but need to leave it on otherwise for the next 2 weeks. Then he will repeat an x-ray and go from there. It is heavy. I am really getting my exercise program in. (however, this was not the program I was looking for :rotfl2: ) And the crutches are uncomfortable under my arms. If I make them taller they hurt my armpits and shorter they rub by the bicep and leave bruises.:sad2: Sorry, complaining here. Shouldn't do that since it could've been much worse. MD says probably will be in the boot for 6 weeks with a couple weeks of physical therapy after.
Thanks to all of you for your care and concern.
Jedi, nice to see you here again. As always.
I agree about what you said about how it amazes you with what personal info people will put out there. I have a niece that has all kinds of personal info up on her myspace, but won't tell family a thing.:confused3 Half of it she puts in the public forums, so go figure.
Bunchkin, don't let it get to you too bad. I know it is hurtful, but always consider the source. Some people have no sense of ANYTHING. Just be yourself. That is all anyone can do. And remember you can't please everyone all of the time. Some people will like us in life and some won't and we really can't do anything about either. Hang with the people that make you happy!!! :hippie:
Slo, how did the store go the rest of this week? Hope all is going well.
Hello to everyone else. Need to fix a little dinner. Little thing like a broken ankle can't keep dinner off the table. Ankle biters still need to eat.:lmao:
 
Tiggerrn2 So to hear about your ankle. Is it something that will keep you off work? That might not be a bad thing ;) But it would make me crazier than I already am.
