I'm writing about everything that happened yesterday at Walmart!
I go to Walmart to put in my husbands new prescriptions. They are closed, at lunch, so no problem. I went to McDonalds, had a bite to eat while I waited for them to come back. After eating, I go back to the pharmacy and from there it went down hill!
First of all, my husband and I have that new medicaid from Obama. It was something offered by our dr's office, not knowing it was Obama care, we signed up as this is a dr's office based on your income and everyone who filled out the paperwork got a free visit at the dr's office that day. Well, we took advantage of it because that helped us tremendously that day!
Anyway, I was told that the paper the prescription was on was not tamper proof paper or something so they couldn't do anything until Monday and they had to call the dr's office. Now for 1 that's stupid! Not everyone can wait for the medicine!
Secondly, knowing the dr's office as I do, they are NOT going to call them back ASAP! lol So I told the girl to give me back that card and gave her my RX prescription card (blue card, got it free) and asked for a price on both. She asked me to come back in 5 minutes. Ok no problem.
I go back in 5 minutes and one prescription is $40! I said NO I'll take it back and bring it to the dr's office pharmacy to fill! It's only $13 there! lol I tell them to fill the other because it's only $6!
I go finish shopping then go back to pharmacy to pick up that new prescription and my husbands blood pressure meds (I called in on Thursday evening) and was told they didn't fill his blood pressure medicine and was waiting for the dr's office to call back! That's all the girl would tell me and that pissed me off a lot! She didn't even want to ask what was up for me!
So I pick up my phone and call my husband and ask him to read to me what was on the bottle I called in and he said "Partial refill available". I said it out loud and got the pharmacists attention! The problem was they didn't know if they should fill the 20 pills he had left because it wasn't a full 30 day supply! REALLY!! You are joking right? The pharmacist asked if I wanted it filled and I said "YES, he's completely out!"
WHY IN THE HELL DID THEY NOT CALL ME on Friday instead of calling the dr????? I just don't understand! Can someone explain that to me? I have a new script, but didn't bring it with me because he had a refill on the one I called in!

Why Don't People Listen?!
When I go grocery shopping, I make a list of what I need. I then look on the blogs that I follow for the Winn Dixie, CVS and Walmart deals and then pull my coupons from my binder. Before I do any of that, I check my freezers, fridge and pantry to see how many dinners I have! I must have at least 8 dinners, so if I have 6, I know I have to purchase 2 dinners on my shopping trip!
Now as of Friday, May 27, I had 10 meals that included hamburgers and chicken for Memorial day. I always look for the best deals on meat as well.
WHY is it that others who get paid every 2 weeks are not like that? I don't understand! If you get paid every 2 weeks, you should have at least 14 meals! If you don't have room in your freezer, ok keep the money in your bank account and go to the store weekly! Set a budget of all your bills and when they are due and how much is due and then you should have NO problems! My budget is all written out and includes FOOD!
Why don't people want to listen? It aggravates me so much!

Do Store Employees Actually Know What They Need To Know About Store Policies?
I went to the grocery store 2 weeks ago (7-10-09) I had a $5 off coupon to use and the cashier told me that they didn't accept coupons off the Internet. Now this wasn't just a coupon, it was a coupon from the store rewarding their loyal customers, I got it off the store's site.
I asked to speak with the MGR and the manager would not even take the coupon out of my hand to see that it was in fact a valid coupon. Now I spoke with the District MGR and he apologized and told me I could use the coupon even though it would be expired.
Today I went back to use that coupon. I spoke with the cashier before she rung me up and she got the MGR (a different MGR) and I started to explain to him what happened and that I spoke with the district MGR and he told the cashier to scan the coupon. lol He looked at the coupon and said it was valid.
After that, I went to Wal-Mart to get some things, I presented the cashier my coupons (Internet coupons) and the cashier told me they don't accept paper coupons. LOL Now I asked what did she mean because ALL coupons are paper.
She then said Internet coupons and I pulled out my handy copy of Wal-Marts coupon policy (I HIGHLY recommend you carrying that with you as I needed mine today for the first time EVER). She got the CSM and the CSM said they don't take them.
I gave the CSM the coupon policy that says the do accept them and she said she'd be right back she had to talk with the store MGR. I got so upset I was ready to leave the store as it took her over 5 minutes to get back with me.
I felt embarrassed because they had other customers in back of me who heard what was going on, but they wanted to pay for their groceries and leave. I didn't blame them!
I'm left wondering if these stores train their employees to the fullest capacity. I mean this cashier was young and acted like she didn't understand me at all! All she knew to say was we don't accept them!
Has anyone ever been through this?? Did you feel embarrassed?
My sister said she wouldn't have felt embarrassed because I was well within my right as a consumer to use my coupons.
What do you think?

Is Copying A Freebie considered a Copyright issue?? If so why?
I am a member of several yahoogroups. I've been a member of 1 group for a few years now and I thought I had made a few good friends. Well, this one person I thought was a friend is really pissing me off now.
Last night I simply wrote an email to my groups asking if anyone knew if posting a freebie on your blog/forum or whatever is a copyright violation. Now I'm asking about the freebie, not anything else.
You know I got several replies telling me not to worry about it that the person who complained had to have found the freebies from someplace before listing on their blog and it was not a copyright issue. I also had someone check my blog and told me I was not in any violations!
Well, this person on one of my groups is saying it is a copyright violation (she's the only one saying this) but she gets her freebies and sends them in as well! LOL
She just doesn't get it! She keeps telling me it's there work. lol I keep telling her we aren't talking about their work, their words, just the freebie itself! This was last night.
Today she writes back all pissy! Telling me I don't understand and she doesn't have time to sit and explain it. WTH??!!! LOL I'm not an idiot! I know what a copyright is!
This is what really pissed me off with her! She also tells me I can't blame anyone else for my stress. HELLO??!! Don't even go there! What I put in that email was that I couldn't get stressed and I was pissed. Didn't put the blame on anyone there!
So my question is could you stay friends with this person?? Could you stay in the same group with this person? I hate having to decide this, I really don't want to leave the group, but I just can't stay around this person any longer.
I just took one of my anxiety pills as my chest is starting to hurt again. I thought this person was a friend, but I find today, she really isn't.

Nothing Is Ever Right!
Do you ever feel that what ever you do, no matter how you do it, it's never right?
Well, let me tell you about this. I have turned this blog into my personal blog because I need to be able to release my stress from things.
Yesterday I had to go to the hospital and had all kinds of test done to find out that I was having an anxiety attack! Too much stress and the last thing I need is stress with doing something I LOVE to do!
Here it goes:
Today, I got an email from another blogger asking me not to copy. She started out her email with it has come to "her" attention, like she is the head honcho of blogging!
Ok this is a FREEBIE blogger! She finds freebies and list them on her blog! There are SEVERAL of these types of bloggers and I have one as well.
Anyway, if you can't copy the freebies, then why have the blog! Just because the freebie is listed on a certain blog does NOT in any way mean it is COPYRIGHTED! NOTHING is copyrighted unless you pay to have it copyrighted! If this was fact, do you know how many people would be in trouble for copy right infringement??
Do you know how many blogs/sites/yahoogroups there are for FREEBIES???!!!! PLENTY!!
Everyone finds the same freebies in one way or another, so this put a bit of stress on me and so I'm writing my feelings out about it.
It just depends on how you describe the item. Now if you take a sniplet and change the words, that's NOT copying and if I did copy, then I do apologize about that.
I ALWAYS give credit to the bloggers where I found it and their link so who ever reads it on my blog can also visit theirs! Also if a link isn't working on their site, I email them and tell them! I thought I was doing the right thing!
My problem is and I've been thinking about this a lot, I give credit to them and send visitors to their blogs, I have a yahoogroup with over 100 members who wouldn't know about these other blogs if not for me. lol They are also on my blogroll and I am NOT on theirs!
When I first started blogging (even now) and was asking for link exchanges or to be friends there was NO interest. I was told NO by one blogger, she didn't have room! WTH??!!
Why is it so important for other bloggers to stay in their little circle and not let anyone new in?? What is so wrong in helping a newbie?
I am in NO way trying to start trouble here, I just want to fully understand this and get rid of the stress I felt when I read that email. I mean she was nice, don't get me wrong, but still, if any bloggers have a problem with me or anyone else, why not step up and say something themselves?
7 Online Copyright Myths
“As long as I note the author’s name, I can use their site’s content on my site.” Although you are being nice and giving credit where credit is due, you still need to ask the author’s permission to post their work on your site. The author may not want their information posted anywhere off their own site or they many not approve of your site as a venue for their information - that is their choice to make not yours. Just because you choose to give credit doesn’t give you permission. Always ask a site owner if you can use their content before you put it on your site. http://www.theistudio.com/muse/7-online-copyright-myths/
Now this is for copying their work, not freebies, freebies are listed all over the internet and if that is copyright infringement, then everyone should stop sending them to groups and posting them to blogs and telling everyone they know about it!
Also I haven't picked any freebies from this blogger in a while. lol

Picky Picky Picky
Have you ever wondered what makes a person so picky? I do a lot!
I have been with the same man for 26 yrs, we recently got married (5/22/09) and I just can't tell you how picky he has become. lol I thought it was suppose to be women who were picky, but he is worse than me!
For Instance:
I have plants that are suppose to be outside, but our temperatures have been topping at 100 and they started to wilt, so I took them inside. I brought them to the sink and rinsed off the bottom and side of the pots (I have one of those hose sprayers on my faucet). I took a towel and put it on the floor and then set the plants on the towel. Trust me when I say there were NO bugs on these pots.
The plants have been indoors for a few days now. Today, it was a rainy day, so I put ALL the plants back out to get fresh rain water and some air to help them grow. I have NOT brought them back inside, it is suppose to be the same way tomorrow, so I figure they'll be ok out there.
My husband just complained to me about the towel that is still on the floor! He thinks I should have taken it and shook it out becaue of the little microscopic bugs! HUH?? What bugs?? I take the plants and water them at my sink every evening (not over watering, just being sure they have it and the pots are clean). lol
This really urked me because I don't like bugs of any kind and for him to say that to me was really unfair.

Bill Payment Centers
Have you ever made a bill payment at a pay center? If so did you think that payment would go directly to your account?
Well, sometimes if the pay center is affiliated with that company, it will post directly to your account. Most of the time, they are not affiliated and it takes a few days for it to post.
I just found this out.
I made a payment on our water bill and cable bill at the pay center that is 3 blocks away from my home. Not knowing that this place is working for an independant company. The independant company picks up all payments and post them to your account. Talk about a pain in the butt!
I called the water company this morning to make sure they received the payment and told the woman I paid at a pay center and she informed me that they are not affiliated with pay centers, which got me very worried. So I called the pay center and he told me about the independant company contract.
My cable is the same way. I made a payment, I called and I spoke with someone in collections and guess what there was NOTHING she could do for me. All she did was put a notation on my account that I made a payment, when and what time. Hopefully that will keep my service on. She couldn't even give me an extension to give the payment time to get there. :(
So I wonder why they have these companies that do this? Why do they have pay centers if they are not there to help us and post our payments when we make them? I just don't understand this at all........I paid my bills, but they are still unpaid. Sounds so unreal.
So if you pay your bills at the pay center, please do yourself the favor and ask if it posts to your account from them or is it an independant contract? If it's independant, go to the company and pay it....save yourself the aggravation.

What does the phrase out going mail mean?
Well, according to answers.com the definition of outgoing is an adjective and it means:
1. Going out or away; departing: an outgoing passenger train.
a. Retiring from or relinquishing a place, position, or office: the outgoing chairperson.
b. Addressed for sending: outgoing mail.
c. Sociable and responsive to others; friendly: a warm, outgoing personality.
2. Intended to be taken out, as from a restaurant: outgoing orders of Chinese food.
So from those terms, we can determine that outgoing mail means: Addressed for sending.
This means that if you put something in the mail box addressed to send out, you would expect that the mail person would take it and put it in his truck to bring to the PO for you right? NO not mine!
My Story:
I have a mail box that does not have the flag to lift for outgoing mail on it. It actually broke off before we moved in this house. I put outgoing mail in the mail box and put a NOTE on the front of the mail box and it read "outgoing mail inside thanks". Now a normal person would read that and think to remove the outgoing mail right?!
I just went outside to get the mail and what is STILL inside my mail box? MY OUT GOING MAIL!!!
I just don't get it! I am so upset with the mail man right now. I think it was our regular mail man too, and he has been bringing us our mail from the old address, but that is unexceptable!
I had 1 package and 1 envelope and the mail man didn't pay them any attention all he did was put the 1 piece of mail I had in the mail box and left!
If you have any comments on this, I'd love to read them.
What do you think of the USPS?

So confused........
Ok I am totally confused about the medical profession. I saw a dr. for disibility Thrusday, and she told me that what I was told I had (scoliosis), I don't have, or it isn't enough to make me hurt like I am hurting!
I had an accident in 2003, x-ray at hospital from there to the lawyer, who sent me to the doctor. x-ray there, treatment that didn't help. Sent to an orthopedic who x-rayed me and told me he found scoliosis! Treated me for 1 month and released me as there was nothing else they could do for me.
2005 I went to a chiroprator on a free visit thing I won. Was told my scoliosis got worse and he could not guarantee any treatment would help me. I did not get treatment with a no guarantee on any relief.
2008 tring to get disability as I have given up having any kind of regular life again. Dr. appointment today, x-ray and exam............Dr. say's she feels a small curve in my back, but not enough to cause all the PAIN I am having. Looks at x-ray, shows me the x-ray.........small curve, but not where my pain is!!!!!
She said the curve could be from the way I was standing or the way the machine was!!!!!
Recommedation was to go to a free hospital (university) and get an MRI to check for NERVE damage!!!!!!!! Now I ask you for 5 years (May 24 will make 5 years) NO ONE COULD MENTION NERVE DAMAGE!!!!!
I was in so much pain today and she could tell, as I was moving like I was pregnant SLOW!!!
So I tried to get intouch with my doctor on Friday, so I can get an appointment for him to refer me for an MRI and on my back to see what the heck is going on with me! Guess what, that was a PROBLEM. First the computer's were unavailable, then the lady put me on hold for too long and then they were CLOSED!! They close early on Friday!
So I have to try this again on Monday, praying I don't have as much of a problem.
So I get rid of one nerve problem (my back shribbling) to I don't know what is wrong! All I know is I am glad my back isn't rotting away from scoliosis and I just have to think positively that it is something treatable like a pinched nerve and I can be free of pain again.
I think they will decline me on disability, but if I can be pain free, I DON'T CARE about the disability, as I can do things like work again (maybe).
I have had a tiring 2 days dealing with this, I pray on Monday, I can put an end to this and make my appointment for the dr and get the MRI in process.
Wish me luck on this, I really would rather the pain leave, then to have disability.
