Say What I Think

My husband a couple months ago found the Skittles Crazy Cores. I will say at first I wasn’t sure what I would think about them because some flavors just do not mix well, but Skittles did a great job of selecting flavors that would work well together.
There are 5 flavors in this packages, my two favorites in the package are the cherry lemonade, and the melon berry. I like the other 3 flavors too those flavors are mango peach, Blue Raspberry lemon, and strawberry watermelon. I think out of all the flavors I don’t care for is the strawberry watermelon that’s a flavor I could do with out. The package is a little deceiving but the candies if you bite them in half, they are not the same color on the package, the outer color is right. The small pages is only 230 calories which isn’t horrible considering some donuts are 400 calories. I never finish off the entire package in one setting so I am not sure how many calories I am actually getting.
Skittles for me makes a nice little munchy thing for class gives my mouth something to do, plus so far it’s still made with sugar so I can eat it. It is not any weight loss products so I am pretty sure if I were to get piggy with it that would help me blown up.

Yesterday I had to take dads dog to the vet. We didn’t exactly have a lot of money to spend but we needed her to go in right away. I saw a worm in her poop and she was acting tired and just not lively like a small dog aught to act. I got concern and was very worried that Otis was exposed to them to. Otis is an older cat who is behind on everything because I felt as long as Otis wasn’t exposed to an other animal we do not have to worry about keeping up on everything. Otis has a good home but for some reason I just don’t like rabies or distemper and just haven’t found any needs to get those shoots. If the animal isn’t exposed why put it through all that stuff Otis get stressed out when having to drive anywhere and I’d rather not upset the cat.
Dad served in World War 2 and has lived in some very unsafe environments for him. When Shadow was lift at one of the homes we didn’t realize they would also abuse the dog. Maybe we should have figured it out sooner, but we didn’t think they do that because her animals looked healthy and acted loved so we thought Shadow would be safe. When Shadow was picked back up, her eye was caved in, she was being treated with what we found out later to be human eye drops. I was worried talking Shadow to the vet and being accused of harming her in an unspeakable way.
When I was taking Otis to the vet I took him to Banfield Veterinary clinic in St. Paul, but know that a little far away so I called the one over by us in Richfield I believe. It’s right off of 494 and Lyndale. We got Shadow in to the vet, and explained to them what our concerns was, and asked many questions. They answered a lot of our question. After the examination our vet called for a consult about the dogs eyes. I had told the vet I’ve done something to see what Shadow response would be, which normally most dogs would bite or try too. Shadow responses has always been licking me, and the vet tech said that a calming gesture! Licking is supposed to calm and relax people so she trying to do that and it’s good that she like that. Shadow is very gentle. We waited in the room for a long time. They came back a few times to let me know what was going on. They told me it was a Tapworm would Otis wouldn’t catch, because it from fleas. I said but the dog has no fleas, and never did as fair as I knew. I wouldn’t be surprised if she did at some point and I didn’t know about it. I had to tell my husband if the dog had fleas I would have hives from it.
After awhile they came in and said they did some calling around and because of dad situation to help us out they where going to cover the cost for their basic pet insurance. They want to do a full work up on Shadow, which is probably needed and a good idea, and the insurance will cover it. After a while the vet came back in to explain to hubby, dad and I the dogs eye would need to come out, which is a costly surgery. I said Okay well do what’s needed, and my husband told me there goes your laptop this was before we found out about the insurance, I told Craig no I will make dad save up for it. But Craig knows me well, I wouldn’t make dad save up for it, I would save up for it and sacrifice my laptop if the dog needs it. It’s taken us some time to accept the fact Shadow has been damaged beyond repair.There is no fixing Shadow eye, it has to come out because it causing the dog pain, and we decided we would just sew it up. I teased about it saying the Dog would be a pirate, trying to make it easier to deal with, but honestly it not I want to cry more then try to not be angry. I am angry at the people who had her. Banfield shouldn’t have to do a surgery on a 8 pound dog because some donkey decided they had a right to kick the dog in the head, the dog shouldn’t be blind in one eye. But no people don’t know their buts from a whole in the ground.
After awhile the vet came back in with some options and to let us know that the animal insurance was covered through their charitable pets program. This helps dad and us a lot. Thank goodness now I can save up for my laptop easier. I am a full time college student so them helping out dad helps me out….. The vet had told us that their is a new doctor who never done this type of surgery and they want her to do it for credit which means the surgery would be free but the anesthesiology would cost us about 200-300. Okay this is a lot more doable. I am thankful Banfield decided to help Shadow and dad out. Hopefully one day I will finally work have my master and have a better job so I can donate to them. I know my dad and us aren’t the only ones being helped. I know when I adopted Otis from the humane Society that is how I found Banfield, that was over 10 years ago.

Recently I broke my ankle got laid off and found a new job after about 4 months of no work. I have explained several times to them I been out of work, and not earning any money, I barely am able to keep the cellphone connected. Today they have called me about every 15 minutes to half hour since about 11am. It’s IC System. For one thing this is now considered harassment. I told them here what I can do, as far as bring down the bill. They didn’t want the money and said they would continue calling me.
They think I was rude with them, nope I just asked them why they are calling me every 15 minutes to half hour or every hour on the hour. Well you have 2 accounts well okay if I tell you I can’t pay the 1/4 of my bill now what makes you think I can pay the fourth of the other bills. They tried telling me the phone calls recorded, like I care because I am still going to put them in there place. I am sick of them calling me and not listening to my simple words of I just started a new job. I taken a huge pay cut I can pay 15 for one bill and 15 for the other bills, no this isn’t good enough for them they where telling me I have to pay 50 plus 12.50 for servicing fee each month and that’s just on one bill. Lets see I am making under 9 a hr and working 24 hours a week clearly that takes a big chunk of my income. I have cellphone which I need to keep connected. Then she told me well do you have a credit card. I was like if I had a creditcard don’t you think I would use that! She says no because people don’t use there credit cards. If they are not careful I will report them for harassment because that is exactly what this is. I will simply start sending in a payment each month of what I can afford and if they keep calling it will show the courts if they try that, it will show them I am at least trying to take care of the bill.
I explained to her this economy is what caused me the problem. Yeah you know she might not have went to see the doctor but hey I broke my ankle I didn’t have a choice if I wanted to be able to walk and no have to have surgery on my ankle in a couple of years because my leg didn’t grow back right. I am so tried of being nice to them and explaining to them once I get my first paycheck I will gladly give them some money but I will no give them what I do not have. I have bills like internet for school, and like heck i will drop out of school so they can get their money. I have cellphone and other medical stuff because of asthma sorry I like to breath so getting my asthma meds is more important then trying to kill myself paying there bill. Lets see I could get read of the cellphone but wait if I am needed at work for something or if they close because of weather or some other reason I wouldn’t get that information. I need to eat so lets see I have to pay food if I don’t eat, well I would clearly need to be in the hospital. So lets see take the 30 a month I know I can give and if I see I can pay out more I will gladly do that, I think they aught to take what I can pay and be happy!
Soon I will need to think about a auto insurance quote, but I have about 3 months for that, I want to find dad and us the best plan so we can save money. Dad has been paying for insurance and helping with rent because of how tight we been… Sorry I won’t let him help here because he should have his money for retirement.
What I am angry about is them calling me putting me on hold, sending an automated thing to talk to me asking me to wait because I am a valued customer of theirs. Wrong I am not valued lets get it right your wasting my time, you want me to talk to you stop putting me on hold, be there on the phone ready to talk to me do not send me to some receptionist.
If I tell you once I can not pay the bill in fall do not call me back in 10 minutes to tell me about paying you. I realize I have a couple of bills I owe, and want to pay them, I do not have a IQ of a turnup I know I owe the money and will get to it! Remember my time is valuable so if your placing me on hold until you get done with someone else I am not going to be happy when you do get to the phone and might sound grumpy!

Recently dad dog moved in with us. I have spoke about her on all of my pages. I decided to put her on Pedigree, I have heard a lot of good stuff about pedigree and it not expensive but not the cheapest neither. The dog doesn’t like dry food because she got a lot of table food over her life, well I have trained her begging is not okay, at least it seems like she learning it. Today eating lunch she stayed on the coach and let us eat so that’s a plus. We do not want her getting table foods because then Otis will want it and go for anything the dog leaves behind which means Otis get sick, so we make the same rule for Otis and Shadow. Otis is my cat, very sweet cat, he finally has learned to beat up the dog.
Shadow the dog was refusing to eat her dried food and she already such a small dog I started worrying about her not having enough calories for the energy she needs through the day. I decided to get some wet food. I decided to get the variety package from Pedigree and see what one shadow like, she likes all flavors so I will probably just stick to getting the variety package for her. One of them that has impressed me and make me think gee this is better then some of the meals I make is the Casserole Dinner with Beef Noodles and Vegetables. This has some good performance parts, and it seems shadow eats this one the fastest. It has beef byproducts, carrots noodles, peas, and a bunch of other stuff. Shadow seems to like it, there is a little bit of water in the package so it like a thick chili.
I think this would almost make a nice stew except it would need potatoes and onion but I don’t think those are good for dogs. This even had a little bit of garlic. Otis doesn’t go into Shadows dish so even though this is close to table food Otis will not eat it. Now I know Otis wants some wet food but there is no wet food out their for a cat with a sensitive system like Otis. Hopefully one day they will make wet food for pets with sensitive systems.

I love my Cinnamon candy, and cinnamon bears are great. I have a favorite brand of Cinnamon bears, the ones I get at Holiday Gas stations. I know strange, I love them little bears, and get them for class often. Sometimes I find a really hot cinnamon one, that just about burns the tongue but they are still great. My husband brought me a package the other day. What I like doing with the cinnamon bears is opening them and letting them be open for a couple of days, this hardens them a little bit. Yesterday I lift my laptop bag in the can for school, all my candies were frozen. I think the bears held up nicely.
Lately the bears seem to be thinner then normal, they have faces on them still. I am not sure why but cinnamon bears are like magnets, I always go to them like being pulled to them. Calories are low to 140 for five bears so that not to bad. Better then eating donuts which are close to 400 calories a donate. They are made with real sugars still which is great, and they are just the right amount of sweetness.

Let me start by saying lately I haven’t been very happy with Paypal, there customer service has seemed to go down hill. I am not sure why but they need to get their act together and quick.
Today my husband called me telling me that his account was charged twice by T-Mobile, so I called T-mobile to tear them a new one. The rep told me that the first transaction was not approved but the second one was. Now this has happened to me in the past two where I have ran the card for them twice because I was told the first time it didn’t go through when it actually went through. Okay Paypal needs to fix this problem and not allow the transaction to go through on their end not allowed transaction like that to affect the balance of the account this is annoying.
After I was done talking to T-mobile I told my husband what I was told. Well Paypal at first admitted to doing wrong. Now my husband has it set up where paypal will take from the checking account if he overdraws today this caused him trouble. He asked them to cancel the transaction and they refused to do this for him. Okay so your going to cause a transaction to happen even though you declined the first transaction this doesn’t make any sense to me. They should have a way when they fix the double charge to stop it from taking out of his checking account at the same time. The supervisor who my husband spoke with was no help at all. To say the least I am disappointed in there services as of late.
