DDA Chapter 4

Just for ONE DAY can we call a moratorium on stupidity?

I called the insurance office about the car title. We DO have to go to the title office because we are adding a person to the title. OK, whatever.

On the billing issue...
Now the agent is saying she sent us a letter asking us if we wanted to keep the old policy! WTH is THAT? The old policy was to be REPLACED with the new policy because the old one is EXPIRING! DH and I both sat in her office while she looked at the billing, and she said herself that the billing dept. failed to cancel the old policy when the new one took effect. She said to subtract the premiums we were charged for the old policy and they would adjust the bill. WHERE ON EARTH did this part about asking us if we want to KEEP it come from?? And we never got a letter! So now (supposedly) today they have sent in a request to cancel the old policy, retroactive back to December. We are SO going to end up having to pay that extra money. I am quite certain that this is NEVER going to be fixed.

I stick my tongue out at you.
We got an inch of snow and sleet and freezing rain this morning.

high today is only mid-50's. Brr! At least it isn't raining. Or snowing.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I don't do trip reports, but guess I should have told you all, about it.

it's nice to see a bit more "evidence"!

So I did rent Hairspray on VOD and I loved it. Though there was one part that I thought was very cheesy.

Elizabeth I would have such a headache trying to deal with this Hope you can get it all straightened out!

I got a call and our taxes are done. She didn't say how they worked out one way or another, but I'll go sign them today and get the verdict Otherwise no big plans for today.

I don't see how they can make you pay for that!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I don't see how they can make you pay for that!

Well, it is passing the title fee on to the customer which is new since we did our last re-fi through them. We were supposed to pay to have the vehicle title changed BY THEM. But now they are claiming that they can't do the new title because there is an additional responsible party (me). So they sent us a check to cover the fee because we already PAID the fee. That part is irritating, compounded by the fact that Youngster had NO CLUE that would happen and apparently whoever trained her never mentioned it.

The life insurance debacle is just mind boggling. Do they sit around and smoke crack all day? After going to the office WITH DH and complaining about being double billed they now think we changed our minds after we left? Sure, I want to keep paying an exorbitant amount of money every month for a policy that is about to expire! I totally see us being held liable for all of the back months of premiums on the old policy because I just don't think ANYONE in that office is smart enough to fix it. They are all very adept at blaming other people, though. I told Youngster it frustrates me that I can not call Billing DIRECTLY to make absolutely sure my problems are fixed. She just yammered on about how they are doing their best to fix it blah blah blah. Yah, but it's NOT fixed, is it? And the longer it goes without being fixed the more likely I am to have to pay the premiums for Dec-March. The billing dept. is threatening to make us pay an entire YEAR of premiums UP FRONT because I didn't pay last month's bill in full. Last month's bill was WRONG! But Youngster thinks the best course of action is to IGNORE the bill. Right.

Nope, just lots of ice usually



Oh no! That is so frustrating



I hope today she is doing much better! How scary!



I agree, I like the white the best. It's very cute either way!



Hooray! The DIS has known it was coming for some time now (seriously, there are some super sleuths that blow my mind on the DVC boards! ) but it's nice to see a bit more "evidence"!

Our guide confirmed the rumors last summer so we knew it was just a matter of time



We had some good news today. We are getting a tax refund from Federal and State. Unfortunately it is less than last year, but at least we don't have to pay

Besides wanting the H20 products, I would love to have the tissue cover!

I didn't get a chance to check the prices on the site Tammi linked us to (Thanks, Tammi!) but be sure to check out H20Plus' website. They are VERY reasonable priced, and I imagine Disney might take a bit of a mark-up through their site.....

I don't do trip reports, but guess I should have told you all, about it.

I had actually seen the pictures of the building, but even with the building going up DVC tried to deny the rumors! It's nice to see in print (with little rebuttle) that everyone was right! That's one I can't wait to have completed! Of course, we were planning on our next purchase being Hawaii........ maybe we need both!

I just got word that our GSA government contract is being audited on the 14th, and have more than 2 1/2 weeks to worry about it. UGGGHHH!!!

I think you wish you had less time to worry, right? Good luck, Marci!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Elin-as much as I would LOVE to see you I do understand that this will be a crazy weekend for you. You will be back right???

Boston is supposed to get rain today so maybe most of it will go away before the weekend.

Oh, we'll be back! OFTEN! And I hope that rain washes away ALL the snow. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate snow???

Janet (and all who were on the lookout for me)-I am doing not so great so I decided to take a little break from posting here. It has nothing to do with you all...it has to do with real life and would take to long to vent/tell/whatever you want to call it.

We did end up having a hugely busy weekend. Cassidy and I went to Bye, Bye Birdie on Friday...I was very disappointed in the production. This was after a very trying day here at work...and losing an expensive piece of jewelry.

Saturday...I ended up running sound for Youth Sunday...and Cassidy ended up getting a solo piece that morning for Sunday (she handled it beautifully )

Sunday-was Youth Sunday and I passed out at 2...Abi got sick about 4:30

she stayed home from school yesterday...and I felt guilty about leaving work after a meeting...then remembered I've been there 8 days straight for at least an hour.

There's my LOOOONG weekend and it's only the tip of my emotional iceberg.

I hope that the crud in real life takes a permanent vacation because I am a wreck.

I am reading along but I just don't have the resources in me to post very often.

Sorry that ended up being long.

 

[PNO4TE]

Theresa - I had to say before I head back to work. Please let us know if there is anything we can do...

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Marci - I hope the audit goes well!

Theresa - I am sorry things aren't going well right now!

I would so love to find a way to do this!

 

[Tammi67]

Yippie!

Theresa - If there is anything that we can do..............

Day Four
Epcot

We weren’t in such a rush today but we still managed to get up early and arrived at the park pretty close to opening. I can’t remember what we had for breakfast. It probably was shared breakfast platters from the food court eaten in the room. We found it a lot easier to have Eric get the meal and bring in back rather then lugging the girls to the food court. They are easily distracted so it would have wasted a ton of time.

Emma was adamant that we ride Test Track first. So we did just that. We got the child swap pass from the cast member and Eric took the girls first.

Lucy and I wandered around the gift shop, looked at all the cars and finally found a bench right outside the ride exit. We struck up a nice conversation with a grand mom who was there with her 3 teenage grand kids. When the 3 of them got off Molly said she hated it and did not want to go back on, but I dragged her back on. I know bad mommy! She has never been afraid of any ride ever, so I have no idea why she was having issues on this trip. Molly complained the whole time we were in line and I am sure that all the people around us must have thought I was a horrible mother! She survived and I am sure she even liked it, although you can’t see her in the ride photo.

While we were on TT Eric and Lucy went and got FP’s for Soarin. I called him on his cell as we were exiting and he told me where to meet him, he also told me to walk straight through Innoventions to get where he was. Well that backfired. I again decided that the scenic route was much better. The upside was that we came across Mary Poppins all alone.

We finally found Eric and Lucy. I really need to get a sense of direction. Eric and Emma rode Soarin’ so Mo, Lucy and I wandered around. The day was absolutely beautiful so we honestly just enjoyed being in the warm sunshine. I should have gotten Mo into modeling because all she wanted to do was pose for pictures.

When Eric and Emma got off Soarin we regrouped and then made our way to Nemo. The girls loved this ride. It was a first for all of us. I believe on our last trip it was under construction. We then waited for Turtle Talk with Crush. While waiting Lucy found 2 teenage boys and quickly got them under her spell. We talked with the parents and the boys, all very nice. The boys were just as infatuated with Lucy as she was with them. She really liked all of the pins on their lanyards. Emma was quite impressed that Crush was talking to people in the audience. Somehow the topic of bra’s came up and everyone was in stitches. Again, Molly refused to sit with Emma up front and stayed with Eric, Lucy and I. We thought this was the funniest thing.

After Crush we made our way over to Club Cool. I had read all about the different soda flavors and was really looking forward to catching the girls off guard. They are not allowed very much soda so I think the fact that we said they could have it made them like it. I think Mo’s favorite was the Beverly. I couldn’t stomach any of them really.

We made a stop at the Baby Care centers for diaper changes. These are wonderful and we used them quite often. Emma and Molly liked watching cartoons- so much so that they did not want to leave.
