Who here is not in the "clique" like me? Part 3

[pozey]

OK, I have to vent for a minute. Please feel free to ignore.

We have propane for heating and cooking. We only get one delivery a year. Usually, I just pay the full amount when they deliver. However, they now offer a budget plan. They take the amount you spend on propane a year and divide it into 12 payments (I have the same thing for electricity). It helps, because you aren't hit with a huge bill all at once. Anyway, I scheduled a delivery about a month ago and signed up for the payment plan. Today, I get a bill for $440.00! I called and they said that they don't do the plan this time of year. I asked why did I fill out the paperwork and was told I was on the plan. The girl couldn't explain that; she just said that their plans only run from June to May. She also said the amount was so much because of all the deliveries I've had (oh, and the amount is exactly what I pay for one delivery). I explained that I only get one delivery a year and she couldn't be correct. Finally, she agreed I was right about that. She did say I could have until May 1 to pay the bill. I am so mad right now. I will be calling back tomorrow and try to speak to someone else (she was the only person in right now). It just sucks that I was planning on a bill around $40 a month and I'm hit with this.

OK, vent over.

That doesn't sound right. I would call back and ask to speak to a manager. If the person you were speaking to was a manager, I would ask to speak to her manager, until you got to the top.

If you were able to sign up for monthly payments, and were told you were on a monthly payment schedule, then that is what you should be on.

I like Dancing w/the Stars... I don't watch religiously but I do enjoy it. Who is in the new lineup & when does it start? That's one of the few shows that I can actually enjoy with both of the kids. It's so cute because Lyzzie likes it a lot, and Emma will try to copy some of the dance moves. I can't wait until summer, I plan on getting Emma into a dance class at the community center. I'm sure she will love it!

I chickened out and ended up coming home for the rest of the day. I just wasn't feeling any better and my back is very sore, so I decided to take 1/2 a sick day, come home, load up on pain meds & a muscle relaxer and hopefully get some rest. I asked my mom if she wanted me to come get Emma before I went home, and she was so funny, she said no but sighed a lot like she didn't really mean it. I kept asking, and she insisted that I just go home & rest, but still sounded like she didn't mean it - I can't really convey here the tone of her voice but it was cracking me up.

pozey: DznyFan posted a smiley of two smileys punching each other. The one on the left (apparently you) knocks the other one out & jumps up & down. It's cute!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Amber: I agree w/pozey... you need to talk with someone else. That would make me mad too! I just got a letter from my health insurance company demanding proof of my prior coverage and threatening to deny all my claims related to my back, because it's a pre-existing condition. It's all very confusing, but I know I have a letter, I just need to find it. Not as easy as it sounds, I'm so unorganized at home it's disgusting. I just have a few big piles of "importantish" papers. Anyway, I hope you get that bill straightened out soon! I'm on the same plan with my electric company and it's great, hopefully I can get on it with the gas company for next year. My last gas bill was almost 300.00 for the month and it's killing me! But then in the summer, it's only about 6.00 - I'd much rather have the average payment all year!

Amber, that stinks! I concur, call and speak to someone with authority and go up from there if you need to.

Pozey - yeah, my smileys were boxing..... one smiley ko'd the other one....
stinks that you can't that stuff still.

Dancing w/ Stars - I started watching about mid way through last season. Fun show.

Idol folks: IMO - I was so totally unimpressed last night.... They all sounded the same. I did like Chris (the big Chris) and suprisingly enought liked Blake. (mr. beat-boxer)

 

[YourMajesty]

Hey......I'm the King.......so off with his head!!

Okay......I've probably over-played the "King" thing already......

Pozey I keep my little box handy to remind anyone who steps out of line....and if they say "Oh deer"....they didn't mispell anything.

Now...what's America's favorite pastime? No one really need to answer that.

ETA: Let me know if you need to borrow it!

Your right about AI. I liked those two too! As Simon says...forgettable

Amber... I'd be ticked too! I'd have to call back and talk to someone else too!

 

[lyzziesmom]

DznyFan: I kept falling asleep during Idol!! Those guys are BO-RING. I love the show, but I hate the music they usually pick. I mean, do they have a list of the world's most boring songs or something?? I did like Blake, and both Chrises, although the little one's bouncing around was bothering the heck out of me. I felt bad for the Indian kid, it looked like he was trying not to cry. I hope tonight is better!

I will be calling back tomorrow. No one else was available for me to speak with today. I guess the money I saved yesterday (by switching to Geico incidentally ) will go towards this bill.

Lyzziesmom, I hope you fell better! I think you should get some ice cream and crawl into bed.

Here:

 

[lyzziesmom]

Am I thinking of the wrong person, or doesn't Heather Mills have an artificial leg? I wonder how that's going to work?

 

[lyzziesmom]

Thanks Amber, that looks great! Almost as good as this one:

 

[YourMajesty]

Ok...I had several pages to make it through. Let's say I had my daily laughs...Miss Lesa...loved your smilies.

Donna...thank you for the breakfast! We will make up for the slow chatting...eventually. You are correct...this is not a normal workday for me...but I'm sure my boss was happy to disrupt our morning schedule...once again. I learned about communication principles.

lyzziesmom...sorry to hear about your back today. (ok pretend that's a back).

Michele...was sleepy sleeping or was that just an oversight? Interesting.

Well...not so great news for my oldest. He needs glasses. We go pick them up today. His teacher moved him to the back of the room this week and he can't see a thing. He had his Dr appointment last week. Just a couple of days before his appt he was telling us he couldn't read something. I just had him scheduled for a routine check up. Funny thing is that I told his teacher last week he was getting glasses....I'm not sure why she moved him to the back.

Ok....I will check back in a bit.

I was wanting to do the same thing! (sleep, that is) I didn't get home until 9:00 so I watched my TIVOed episode - after about 1/2 to 2/3 of the guys sang, I wound up fast forwarding thru the songs after the first 30 - 40 seconds or so... they all sounded THE SAME. I was trying to figure out what the song "theme" was for the week, DH asked me what it was - I guess I didn't know until you posted it!
Get to feeling better!

Woo Hoo!! I win!!

Because you're the king, pozey.

Yes, she has an artificial leg.

And I have already read some of the "jokes" regarding her artificial leg and dancing.......

See, this is what’s weird about the filters at work………

I can see the picture that Amber posted. (Which looks GREAT by the way).

But in lyzziesmom’s post……nuthin’. No red X, nuthin’. No space like where a picture would be. Nuthin’.

Now, looking at the properties of the posts……Amber’s picture is posted from wikimedia.org. Lyzziesmom’s picture comes from photobucket. Guess my work doesn’t like photobucket.

 

[lyzziesmom]

Sorry pozey. It's a picture of Emma admiring a Citrus Swirl - the angle makes it look like the ice cream is bigger than her head. I guess your work doesn't want you looking at anyones personal photos... but stock photos are fine? Weird.

ETA: I'm just curious... can you see people's signature photos if they are from photobucket? Or are they missing too?

 

[MI mom of 3]

Hurray!!! I found my rings and iPod!!

I am still missing my debit card...I am just going to call the bank and have them cancel it and get me a new one.

And I remembered what I forgot It was my watch that I couldn't remember that I couldn't find...follow that??

But since it is just a $10 Target watch I'm not going to stress it. I have a ton of Disney watches with dead batteries. I will just take one up and have the battery replaced.

I was really worried about my rings. They were right where I thought they should be...on the shelf of my computer desk...they just got shoved under the wireless router.

Is the 'fighting' over? You'll notice I stayed completely out of that! Mainly because I was reading that Disney Secrets thread...I could spend hours there!

I watched part of Dancing with the Stars last year...don't think there is anyone in this batch I really want to see. I have never really watched AI. Matt tries to get me to watch the beginning with the freak show. After that, I just don't care.

YM...Bummer that your DS needs glasses. I was 12 when I got mine. Had the RK surgery in 99. It was the best thing I ever did. How bad is his script? Will he need them for sports? I'm sure he will look 'cool' in them

Lyzziesmom...sorry about your back...hopefully you'll feel better soon. Does it bother you often? I don't remember you mentioning it in WDW. The "magic" of Disney strikes again!!

Amber...I definitely think you were getting the run around...let us know what you find out tomorrow...don't give up!!

I cannot see yours. But I can see Linda's. I'll have to go back to one of Linda's posts to see where her siggie picture is hosted.

 

[Linzybrooke]

Good afternoon everyone!

Its official. I cannot move. My abs hurt, my arms hurt, my legs hurt. Every time I stand up I feel like my legs are jello! And my trainer insists that my name is Stephanie, I kid you not. He calls me Lindsey for the first 2 minutes and then reverts back to Stephanie, and no amount of correcting him changes his mind. I find it humorous, two of my best friends names are Stephanie so I'm hoping a can channel them and send them my pain...think it will work?

Ashley, I would love to see the group photo if you don't mind PMing me.

Disney Trivia, eh? Its my favorite thing!
