Having a GRAND time - the NEW Official GF Chat Thread PART 4

[Maxie86]

Thanks for all of the support everyone.

Chan That is awlful about the banking problem. It is so frustrating that no one can fix their mistakes. We had a fraud problem on a credit card a few years ago. Actually I think it was just posted on our account by mistake. They removed the charges twice. I had a credit so it was not in their favor and it still took them months to straighten it out. At least they were not after me to pay a bill.

BlueSkies There are NO CALORIES in cheese cake or chocolate. We are staying at the Poly in Oct, but I may add 2 nights somewhere else.

 

[BlueSkies]

Siobhan Its Friday...pizza night...isnt there a no cooking on Friday rule....its a rule in our house...

Get packing Ferburary Gals ...its almost time!

I would like some packing tips...does anyone think it will be short weather....capris... long or short sleeves....

I know I'm only packing for 2 days....but I dont want to overpack...

 

[BlueSkies]

Maxie I'm so very happy to hear that there arent any calories in either of these!!! I forgot you were staying at the Poly...must be some kind of mental block... JK...I am thinking of a split stay on a future trip too....

Love thinking about those future trips....

 

[Lives4Disney]

thanks guys....that stupid CHase ...I am so over dealing with them. At least tomorrow I will be dealing with somebody sitting at a desk in front of me...within hitting distance if they give me any garbage about how they can see it...but can't FIX it. And they are going to try and sell me an account tomorrow i know it..... I was just there last month to buy a Visa GC and they couldn't shut up about their great accounts...blah blah..... I was ready to just go get in the store line with an Amex gift card in hand.

it's just Lucy and me tonight. Jo is at a bday party...and Z is at a dance. Lucy is having McD's snack wraps...and I am having something left over ...whatever I dig up....and a McD Diet Coke. I don't cook on Friday either.

Well....I can't get my pics on the laptop. Not sure why. I might have to reboot......

I am getting excited. Every once in a while I get the OOOOOH! feeling.

Hope everybody has a good night. Lucy and I have plans to watch "Wife Swap" and just veg out.

I am sure I will be back ....I will be bored no doubt.

TTYL,
Chan
GF GAL plotting her escape!!

 

[princessesrule4]

Were people REALLY worried?? Gosh....there is so much more important stuff to stress about......

Definitely more important things to worry about like...

Should we go all the way to WL for a Cactus Margarita?
Which flip flops should I bring?
Do I really want to be seen in my bathing suit in February.........




Maxie, I am glad the day improved and you got some good news. I hope it continues in that direction.

I will try and take some pics now....the problem is my SD card....I think..

YES, Wendy!! He flew into Charleston and had to drive up to Greenville...but I thought Greenville was in NC....whatever...he's clueless and passing it on to me. I would love to visit SC some time.

Theres a Greensboro,NC - people get them mixed up all the time

Hmm.....I ran around all day. Spent too much money....got home tired and I got an aggravating letter from Chase in the mail. THEY accidentally deposited $2K into an acct of ours....then..they caught it....we never knew about this....until way after the fact...so they caught it but they corrected it TWICE....this acct was a stupid freebie we had with them that should have been closed YEARS ago..(lesson now learned ) and them correcting the thing twice caused a HUGE overdraft considering there was like $3.00 in that acct. Sounds funny but not when they keep hounding US to pay them back their $2K. IT has taken at least TWO HOURS on the phone with this stupid company and most of it on hold...and being passed person to person only to be told yES...they can see the mistake was made on their end...but they can't correct it!!!!! EVEN WHEN CALLING THE 800 NUMBER THEY GIVE OUT ON THE NASTY LETTERS!!!! So.. after many calls...DH gets somebody who says they fixed it. This was before Xmas. WEllll....fast forward to today... Today....I get a letter - WHILE HE'S NOT HERE OF COURSE - that they WANT THEIR $2K and THEY WANT IT NOW!!!!!! THey are sending it to collections and charging more fees on top of it .....I SHRIEKED and called dh..and he called and got JACKED around AGAIN....and now it comes to where it has to be corrected in a branch...omg...so I have to do that tomorrow...and hope the person sitting at the desk fixes it or they will get their head ripped off. Thanks Kelly for that phrase because it fits.

Absolutely ridiculous!! We are having the same problems with our insurance! The goofballs keep saying we have another insurance that is primary and they deny the claims!! Makes me sooooo mad! It is supposedly straightened out now after about 50 phone calls! Banks and insurance companies are PITA!!!

GF GAL thinking ESCAPE

5 more days!! Yippeee!

 

[hobbester]

Channing - your husband was very close to Raleigh today. Both Greensboro and Greenville are only 1 1/2 hours away, but in different directions. Ask him if he liked the nice weather today.

I got the trees planted this afternoon. One is an Elm tree; Drake Elm, they said it gives great shade and the other is a very small peach tree - I've always wanted a fruit tree in the yard. That was too much like work, shoveling the dirt back around the tree and watering it. Anyway I'm just glad that it is done, and DH is glad he didn't have to do it. Tomorrow we are going to get some mulch to put around the base of the tree. Here are a few pictures.

 

[Cinderumbrella]

so that is what a yard without snow looks like!

 

[hobbester]

Yea, come on down - just a lot of dead grass. It was 50 today, should be 61 on Sunday, but looks like 30"s possible on Tuesday.

 

[mickeynut1]

That's something us Chicagoland gals haven't seen in awhile, huh . I miss seeing grass ....I am SO READY for spring .

 

[Lives4Disney]

so that is what a yard without snow looks like!

I know!!! When Lisa said she was going to get a tree I was stumped...LOL..no pun intended....I forgot that there is a place without SNOW all over the ground...besides FL!! I am shivering NOW!!!

Yes...it is Greenville. I have a friend from grade school that I lost touch with...but she moved to Greensboro, NC. For some reason he had to fly into Charleston...and he wasn't happy had had a long drive. I think because they guy he flew with wanted to get his AA miles and AA doesn't fly into the airport nearer to Greenville.....

OMG .....Lucy and I just watched "Wife Swap"....I AM DISGUSTED...I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN SUCH A RUDE PIG AS THE BRITISH GUY THAT WAS ON!!!! HE WAS A POMPOUS A@@....I am STUNNED..... I kept thinking the whole way thru...he's gonna redeem himself...but NOPE...HE WAS OBNOXIOUS and painful to watch thru to the end. I HOPE he sees how he behaved and feels some shame. It was UNREAL....unreal......

Yeah..WEndy..that's what I was talking about!!! Flip flop and swimsuit worries!!!

TTYL!!

CHAN
GF Gal - loving quiet Friday nights!!!!

 

[tete01830]

I was thinking the same thingWendy when Chan said that! Great minds!!!

I dropped DD's friend off and ended up staying almost 2 hours! We talked about everything from Disney to scrapbooking to our DDs same behavior! I feel somewhat releaved to talk to her! For those of you that dont know, my DD turned into a rading teen over night and is only 7! She is getting better but man does she have her days! I am glad to know that I am not alone though!

Ahhh I am waiting for the bus to come and pick me up....I hope my bus driver comes in a black car with tinted windows??? Whatch ya think?

YES CHAN!!!!!!......I watched that too . That guy was a TOTAL A@@ . I could not believe how he acted . And did you see where his wife told the other husband that she didn't CHOOSE to be born on American soil.......that she had no control over that and that it wasn't her CHOICE . I was fuming the entire time that show was on........and I thought the same as you....that he'd redeem himself by the end of the show....but NO.......what a JERK !!!!

Yeah...he was a real winner, wasn't he . And his wife was JUST as BAD . I have seen alot of jerks on that show but NOTHING like this guy was. But the jerks usually realize by the end of the show that they're a little bull headed or whatever and change somewhat....but not this one .


On a happier note.......have you started packing yet ??? How exciting.......only a few more days and you gals are off .

Deb...i totally agree. Those people were the MEANEST I have seen EVER. THAT GUY WAS UPPITY...he was the DEFINITION of UPPITY. And so stupid he didn't realize how he comes off.....he's sick. And that wife with her anti American comments....she just made herself look like a total fool. They were outright nasty and not ashamed at all...just brutally mean and didn't care that it was on camera!!! I felt terrible for that lady, Gayla. She had class the way she handled it & put up with it and didn't stoop to his level. How about when that jerk off was talking about how her kids might be in the army..and that's ok for her type of people...and that they can defend his family.....omg...i wanted to reach into the TV and wring his scrawny rotten neck. And then those kids!!! SNubbing her like that! UN flippin real!!!! AND THE way the girl at the end said she needs to study hard so she doesn't end up like Gayla...stupid. SO MEAN!!!! Somebody go slap those people....i feel like they need it bad. I just really hope they see themselves on tV and get a realization. They were disgusting and it was painful to watch.....it was so awful.

I haven't started packing .....but I have a pile of clothes growing in the corner of my room.... It is going to need some confinement soon ....the over packing ritual has begun..and it hasn't reached the suitcase yet.

TTYL,
Chan

[BlueSkies]

Evening Gals...

Instead of it being pizza night around here DH and I went out to eat...now I'm up late trying to digest...

Channing Didnt see Wife Swap but it sounds like I didnt miss much....I like to watch things that make me laugh not aggravate me!!!

Lisa What a great big yard...glad you got your tree...

Flip flops and bathing suits....I need to get some self tanner on!!!

Is it 49 days until spring... cant wait!!!

 

[Maxie86]

48 days until spring

I saw the first half of Wife Swap. That guy was a jerk. Where do they find these peeps? What I don't understand is why a guy like that would agree to go on that show to begin with. When Wife Swap was first on it was pretty good, now they just seem to find the biggest jerks they can. I don't watch it much.

Drew Peterson's fiance broke up with him after she saw him on Night Line. Good thing she saw the light before it was too late. What a creep.

I have been home all week and didn't do anything around here. I am getting my hair done this morning and DS is taking my car to get a new tire.

Dawn Hope DH's Dr. appt went well.

 

[BlueSkies]

Good Morning Gals

Maxie I see I am not the only early bird.... enjoy your hair appointment...I bet its nice to be going out and not to a drs appointment....hope DH is even better today

I put in a load of laundry and am off to the nail salon again!!!...spoiling myself...want to get a pedi...

Kelly Where are you... I bet out getting all of your errands done before 9....

Dawn I hope DH appt went well too...

Where is Amy Amy married lady...cant wait to hear all about her wedding!

Todays goal... try to get DD to pack...wish me luck...

 

[tete01830]

Good Morning!

I am going to do a few errands today to get ready for the trip! I am hitting the LL Bean Outlet to see if they have any luggages that I like for cheap! So it will have somelse initials on it.... I have lucked out a few times there so it is worth a check!

Have a great day!

 

[tete01830]

My ticker says 4 days!!!! Holy Toledo! I am having serious packing issues!!!
