Gee, I haven't been on here in some time, huh? Lots going on, so this will be a LONG post......
DD got back early from her cruise. The Dad decided cruise was over & he wanted to get home, so got them on different flights home. She had a good time, but still likes Carnival better. Teen club on
RCCL is ages 12 -17 & downright boring for the older ones. Food OK, but in Chops was great. Canada was 'incredibly clean'. Her friend went to bed every night between 9 - 10, the parents spent all their time in bars or casino. In ports, parents immediately took a taxi to bars or casinos & left girls on their own entirely. Fortunately, DD has traveled a bunch & is pretty smart about it. Friend initially told the taxi driver they got in with to 'just take us somewhere fun!'. DD fortunately, had asked around the ship & gotten directions to a mall & parliament! Glad they didn't go to Mexico!!
Stomach/back better, but still kinda weird at times....but then again, I spent Sun, Mon, Tues & Wed shampooing carpet....which probably didn't help the tummy muscles. And, TOM decided to show up today...right on the old schedule 2 months in a row.....lovely!! NOT!!!!! So, I probably won't be doing my morning walk tomorrow or Sunday.
Since the Bugg died, I've been doing the walk i had done just prior. Mostly hills & then 77 steps to about 8500'. I do the step portion twice. It is about 5 miles in 1 h 20m.
Unfortunately, my eating has been totally out of control. PMS, tired, anxiety over muscle woes, stress, etc....NEED TO STOP!!!
And now the Bugg Saga.....it gets good!!
So, it died 6/2, 3 hours phone time. 6/4, called back, another 45 min, 6/5, called again, more excuses, another 30 min. Monday morning, I open my email hoping for the coveted UPS shipping label & instead found a SPAM email, in Spanish, from the TECH person sent from his work account. About some TV show w/ links which I didn't open.
So, Mon afternoon, I called again, after another 30 min they finally connected me to supervisor. Went thru saga again, then asked why I can receive SPAM from her employee, but not the email I need? She apologized, PROMISED several times that if I would give her 'just 10 minutes', she would call me back & they would issue me a UPS number immediately. Well, it's Friday & I've never heard from her. Meantime, I am on hold with her, but the 'mute' isn't pressed & I hear the Tech guys in the background, in Spanish, talking about me & they called me a 'F'n Fat B*tch' - in spanish, of course. I said nothing at this point.
Tuesday, I called again, got a different supervisor who I was told was "talking to the UPS department" about my label. when he came to the phone he told me after we talked he would email the shipping department. Differnt story again & he, too, assured me he would call right back. Never did.
Wednesday morning, I LOST it! I got online & emailed the Senior VP of Apex Fitness, the VP, their exec assist & the head of tech support. No response. Then I found on facebook, the CEO of BodyBugg. Emailed him thru Facebook. After doing that, I again called tech support. Asked for supervisor, Still a different one. Went thru everything & then mentioned the 'disrespectful' conversation I overheard in Spanish....while he was talking to me, I could again hear in the background, a discussion about me and another customer in Spanish, & NOT pleasant. He started to tell me that just because they were speaking Spanish didn't mean they were talking about me and that is when I came UNGLUED. I began shouting at him, in Spanish, repeating everything I had just heard them say about me. Went on for about 3 min w/ dead silence on the other end of the phone. When I finished all he could say was 'oh'. I then told him that 'just because I'm a white woman doesn't mean I don't speak the language as well as you do' and that they should 'be careful' lest someone get angry enough to call INS.
Thursday morning, I got an email from the CEO saying he would call me later in the day. Which he actually did! He is personally sending me out a BBugg. Meantime, I called back to Tech support Early Thursday & tech support said they would ship me one out today as well...but who could believe them.
anyway, today, I got a Bugg in the mail that was shipped on Wednesday that no one told me about. also an email from the CEO saying his had been sent, and I'm afraid that another may be coming from the Thursday tech phone call. So, I may end up with THREE. I'd love to keep them all & give them to someone (but I won't) due to all the Hassle I have gone thru. STUPID lack of Customer Service & Tech support!! Time will tell.......
Off to get some stuff done...hopefully more later......I leave for FL 1 month from tomorrow & my weight SUCKS!!!
I hope everything gets worked out with it soon. 
We walked one block and left. My DD got a pair of shorts and that's it. I was hoping to find more stuff, but it just wasn't meant to be. Hope you found some great deals!
Go figure. My eyes have gotten slightly worse, mainly the near vision...surprise, surprise. I really don't like this Dr, but our Ins is only good at private practices. Really stupid! Yesterday 2 exams & 1 box(both eyes same, so 1 box at a time) contacts for DD was almost $250....WITH INSURANCE!!!!! And if I end up getting glasses there, it will be almost $400 for 1 pair!! GRRRRRR!!!!!! But, my friend on Medicaid/state aid, gets to go every year (we get every 2) & gets FREE any glasses or contacts or BOTH. It seems it just doesn't pay enough to actually WORK anymore!!
, & relax!!
