I am broke but I need a WDW fix

[lmillercrew]

YA know what???No one was really trying to be rude about the spelling. I was reading somewhere else and posters were making huge fun of her and calling her names. I thought I would come here and suggest spell check but someone else beat me to it. Spell check is available for a reason. It is available for those who are unable to spell correctly and to give them an opportunity to not look uneducated. Most people do not want to give an appearance of being dumb or uneducated and believe me dozens of incorrectly spelled words in a couple of paragraphs can make people assume those things.
I know several people who are horrible spellers. SOME really are lacking in a proper education. Others realize they are terrible spellers and therefore use the spell check. Innocent typos are one thing but the OP has so many errors it DOES make reading her info extremely difficult. Many do not want to take the time to try and "figure out" what she is trying to convey. There might be some good ideas for saving money in her posts but many stop reading because it is so difficult to read.
There was one person who said to please use spell check and then I backed up her statement with a smiley figure. No poster was rude. Sometimes the truth hurts though and that is what happened here.

WOW

where is the spell check? I am I am using office to spell check now and no harm done. I can not spell at all and I can admit it! If I can’t laugh at my self then I am just too boring. If they want to make fun of me oh well.

I have it in my Google tool bar. I am certain there are other ways to get it where it is handy to use but since it is in the Google tool bar that is what I use. It only checks your spelling if you click on the logo "ABC check". I find the ones that are underlining the mistakes are annoying but when you click on this one it highlights the errors and then you click on the highlighted word and it gives you several possibilities. Sometimes it is just a matter of leaving out a letter or reversing the letters (which I do sometimes when I am typing fast). I just want you to know that I meant no harm...I just find it very hard to read your posts and I hate to see people being made fun of on other sites about something as simple as this. I appreciate that you realize that you have a difficult time and have a sense of humor about it instead of denying and getting upset.Hope this helps.

Stahs,


You sure are doing a wonderful job of accumulating gift cards! you are the Queen of gift cards! I have a my points account, however frankly, it is so old, I don't even know if I am still signed up,any longer. I did not have many points, to begin with. Perhaps I should see if I can resurrect my account, I do not do much shopping on line, so I am not so sure as to what results I may yield with the my points site. It does not hurt though for me to look into it, I think he!he!
As far as making ADR for the Rain forest Café, I don't know if it is necessary, however, figuring such is accepted at that establishment, it sure could not hurt to make them.
I still do not know when you are planning to take your trip? I am presuming this year, but of course it may be next year, in which case you have even more time to save,save,save!

I will be going Sept.29-Oct. 8

Hi,

I just read everything and have to say I am very impressed with all the free things you have got and how great you are doing with your budget. If you are still looking for a meal to cook you could do sloppy joes and Walmart has a can of the sauce I think for less than a dollar my friend uses it all the time and loves it. That is something that is cheap and goes far!

Both the spell check comment and this reply could/should have been done in PMs.
You may not realize it and I'm sure you did not mean it to, but it comes across a little harsh and insulting.

I have been given for presents
40.00 Wendy’s. 25.00 sub gift card 20.00 Wal-Mart 20.00 Dunkin donuts Mc Donald’s 5.00=110.00


Free coupons 3 coupons for 3 yogurt 6 packs
2 coupons of general mills products and 2 free boxes of super pretzels
A free Pepsi
3 free cases of Coke thanks to Coke rewards
By saving my cans I have 110.00 on a Wal-Mart gift card

 

[Gisele]

OMG! and WOW! Stahs what a way to go! like I said before, you are the Queen of gift cards, I just feel so pathetic,no gift cards, so far for me! I may have to buy my own, when I finally get a job! seriously.
I was given an at&t rebate card from a relative recently, that was nice, it was worth $30.00, which I happily spent at you probably can guess?.............
TARGET! and I only went over by $5.25c, not bad, not bad .
When was it your birthday? if it recently passed then HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! TO YOU, STAHSHEE!



SEE SPOT SAVE! AND YOU SAY HELLO AND I SAY GOODBUY

 

[lmillercrew]

Awesome! I want to collect cans for my Disney fund also, but my husband doesn't want to do it over the summer. With no inside place to store them and the bee situation, I'm going to have to wait until the fall. No matter. My family thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do that anyway. You made good money doing it. How long HAVE you been doing it to collect that much in can money? I've seen a lot of cans in neighbors recycling containers that would make me some good money. (I think)

 

[1lear]

You're really good at saving money/finding ways to make money. I wish I was that disciplined.

Hope you have an awesome trip!

You are doing a great job on saving and by the time your trip gets here it will be even better. Congrats on the spell check!! You will never know how much easier it makes things to read.

I think I need to start saving cans as well!!!

I started at Christmas!

 

[stahshee]

Well I am still working on ways to save money for this trip. As I said early in the thread I really want to come home with 500. For Christmas money... So now that is my new obsession always on the back of my mind. …..

Now I found an awesome deal on a 12 passenger van for 400 for the week... thanks to some one on the dis…
So my dad and I will split the cost of that... but here is the kicker remember, I was going to pay the car rental off after the trip? Now, I really want to give my dad the money when we arrive. So I need more money (I have 1,030) so I will need to pull it out of somewhere. I have 25 in change to bring to the bank.

I must be rubbing off on my dad. He received a 50$ Wal-Mart card from my brother for father’s day and he said he will use that for our food…

Here are some more free items I did get ... A free coupon for French’s product... I wrote them an email telling them how I can not get the mustard stains out of my children’s clothes
A free Box of Luigis Italian ice... I am on there mailing list
A free bottle of Purex. I called them to tell them how much I enjoyed the free sample. I asked them if they had any coupons and they sent me a coupon for 4$ off

I earned from MyPoints a 10$ gift card to sub way..
I am also on my way to earning a 25$ Cracker Barrel gift card for breakfast for the family.. (I hate breakfast)

I've been following this thread and I have to say you've done very well with your saving.

I too use Firefox as it has a built in spell checker.

Go girl!!!

 

[Gisele]

What a way to go Stahs! geese, I wish I was as good at having so many different sources to which to receive savings and gift cards from. I will have to look into that!
There are many good companies, that still do believe in good customer service

 

[Gisele]

Hello? stahshee ? anyone? stahshee ?


I hope you are doing fine, and saving, saving, saving!
Just checking to see how you are doing, and to see how you are coming along, with your savings and trip plans.

I have to get to budgeting. There is no way I am going to be able to get what I need for less than 200.00. Ok back to the drawing board....
I feel so much better

Okay the thing about only taking carry-ons......
i am the carry on queen, I hate to check baggage, BUT this is Disney, this is Home away from home, This is where you put your foot down and say "would you rather save money and check baggage, or would you rather spend more money than neccesary to just have carry ons?

Ok my shopping list
3 free packages of yoplait yogurt.. I got one more free coupon

2 free gronla

3 cases of Coke using free coupons

oxyclean
laundry soap (why not just buy drop ins - they are small and pack easily)

4 rolls of toilet paper (won't the condo have toilet paper?)
paper towels (same question)

What am I missing.. How much do you think the bill will be?

I have major mypoints now thanks to being a bzz agent. I will let you know what I get for my trip.. I have 100.00 worth of gift cards to claim.. Thank you God

What's a bzz agent?

You know what they say about people who assume don't you? People who ASSUME make an ***-out-of-U-and-ME You assume people and obviously yourself included will think she is uneducated. You also assume that everyone has spell check. you are incorrect on both accounts

I know several people who are horrible spellers. SOME really are lacking in a proper education. Others realize they are terrible spellers and therefore use the spell check.

And those people can just step-off. I am curious, do you know these MANY people personally or is this just another assuption?

There was one person who said to please use spell check and then I backed up her statement with a smiley figure. No poster was rude. Sometimes the truth hurts though and that is what happened here.

It is my opinion through observation that OP was not even hurt by the spelling comments - the only hurt is in seeing people be rude and judgemental[/QUOTE]

WOW
