DDA Chapter 27

Terry - No judgement here! I think if her show was on at a time that I could have watched, I would watched it more. But I agree with the Food Network (and Cooking Channel) addiction... those two are on at our house almost round the clock anymore! ;)
 
Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

Nothing huge on our agenda today. Bob has a follow-up eye doctor's appointment and speech and physical therapy and I teach from 3-9. We lead such an interesting life. :rotfl:
 
Chuck is bugging me to buy more points. LOL We will be adding on for AK probably. I really want to check out WLV because I think that will be a favorite for me based on what we like in a resort. We need to go off season so I can try BLT. I don't think that would be a favorite by any means.

I definitely want to schedule a meet!!!! Stephanie, Terry & I will be there in January for the marathon week-end. Anyone up to coming and cheering us on and having a meet?!
I might be up for it. It's my birthday then, you know. ;)

Deb - welcome to the world of craziness. :crazy:

Good morning. :)
 
Well I will admit I have watched Oprah from the start. At the time being a stay at home mom, I needed adult interaction once in a while. I needed something else besides Captain Kangaroo, Sesame street and Electric Company. Then when I worked, if I could record the shows, I was lucky. Never had a DVR and usually the kids would screw up the VCR. Finally I found out her shows were rebroadcast late night. She has helped me through some tough times. When she admitted her abuse, I could relate. After watching one of her shows on spouses and significant others of survivors, Hal was finally able to understand my actions and helped me to forgive myself. I have laughed and cried with her and have been angry at some of the guests and sometimes have not been able to watch her show because of the content.

Yes, even Stephanie and I paid $185 to go see her in Philadelphia. Okay, close your mouths girls!!!

I am glad we are all such good friends that those of you that do not watch her or like her will understand this and not judge me. Some of you have personally helped me and I love you all. So I am one of those who is crying but also hoping to see more good things that she will do in the future.

I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for watching practically anything, because I have watched some pretty horrible stuff.

I don't dislike Oprah or think that her show was bad; I just have never watched it. It's on at 4:00pm here, and that is one of the times that never worked out to watch tv for myself even when the kids were little.

We had perfect weather for our preschool picnic yesterday. :sunny: Today we are back to storms with the prediction of strong storms tonight, but the day we needed the sun, we actually had it. My next request for good weather is for graduation day on June 25th. I certainly wouldn't mind it before then, but I don't want to get greedy.

We are going in to clean and pack up the preschool for the summer today. It's always so weird how quiet and empty it seems in there with no kids. :sad2: I will miss this class (as I always do), but I am also ready for the break. I can't wait until my kids are done as well and we can just get some down time.

Have a great day, DDA!
 

Good morning!

Terry,
No judgement here. :hug: I know how much she means to alot of people. :goodvibes I just think she will go on to do more good things on her OWN network & that she is not really "leaving" her fans. We missed seeing you this year so I would love to have a meet!!!

Food Network and HGTV are my addictions...and I used to watch soaps (they have cancelled all of my favorites so not anymore). I used to watch Ellen all of the time but something about talk shows rub me wrong...I go through bouts of loving them/hating them. Since The Bonnie Hunt Show was cancelled I hate 'em :rotfl:.

I have not watched a ton of Oprah but I could see how she could be a must see. I love that we are such a varied family but better...because we don't judge each other we love each other warts and all.
 
Thanks for all the well wishes, I had a really hard time with the "prep", ended up spending the night vomiting. The test itself was a breeze, this doctor puts you out for it.

He found internal hemmorrhoids, only one polyp, and took several biopsys, he didn't find the answer to what's been going on so I'll have another scope done on the 9th, this time checking out the stomach.

Janet - glad to hear the job is going well

Terry - :hug: I used to love watching Oprah but drifted away the past few years

When is the 5K in January, Richie and I are planning a trip the first week in January.

The 5K is Friday January 6. Stephanie and I are doing that. Then Sat and Sun are the half and full marathon and we will be cheering those two. We would have time to get together and would love to!!
 
Anyone have a reasonable explanation how medical bills suddenly get paid or reduced by huge amount??? We have been paying on them since February and when I went online pay two of them this morning, one has been listed as paid in full (I did not pay this!) and the other has been reduced by almost $1000 (I did not pay that much either!). :confused:

did you go through a hardship application? I have talked to the billing offices of hospitals and dr's before and had similar decreases quickly.

No, we had not done that.
 
Terry-:hug:I am not surprised to hear that you & Stephanie went to see Oprah. You must of had a blast doing that!

Deb-hope your first week hasn't been too bad.

Janet-hope things are going well for you too.

Have you ever stayed AKV? I had talked myself into doing a 1BR at Kidani for your family trip this summer instead of BWI but they didn't have any available at a discount so we are booked at BWI again. I enjoyed my 2 AKL stays much more than I expected to.

I'm signed up for the 1/2. I better get moving on my training. It's been raining all month here and then I've been sick since I got home. Hope to get out this weekend. I did nearly 75 miles on my trip but not 13.1 in any one day and not in 3 1/2 hours. If I can still move on Sunday I'll cheer you on.:rotfl:

:confused3Hope it is not a mistake.:wizard:




My cold that I got when I got home has "blossomed". Feeling lousy.:headache: I hope to feel better this weekend so I can get a few things done and march with the kids in the Memorial Day Parade.

Did insurance finally hit it? (I'm still receiving stuff in the mail from my grandma who passed in June for her medical billing...)
I know some doctors/hospitals will automatically "adjust off" a percentage too...like a procedure is $100, but the hospital will accept $60 as payment and your insurance will pay $20, so you only owe $20 OOP instead of $40... (This is how most of our bills come across.)

all the insurance had already kicked in and they had adjusted the amounts prior to the final bills we received. It is so very odd. I hope it is not a mistake too!

We will be there through there through the 7th, but we'll spend a partial day on the 7th in the parks, I'd love to see you again if we can set something up!

I'm not sure but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's not an error!
 
Good morning :)

Hope everyone has a fun & safe holiday weekend!
