Not really taken for a ride but...
So, I get this call saying that they can negotiate with my CC companies to try to get me a lower interest rate. They ask what my interest rate was currently, I told them 28%. They then asked what my balance was, then calculated the approximate amount of money they can save but I would have to pay $400 for their services. They money I would say was nearly 10,000. I was pretty desparate as I know that is a high interest rate and I am struggling to make minimum payments. I did do a BBB check, nothing negative came up. Anyway, a week later a financial advisor calls me, puts me on a conference call with my CC company. He just asked the customer service rep if they can lower my interest rate. Rep says no. He then asks to speak to the Rep's supe. Well, the supe dropped it from 28.9% to 5.7%. I was going WOW. But, I wonder what he did that I could not do. I have called my CC before and spoke to a rep about lowering my interest rate and nothing happened, I never thought to ask for a supe. Do I really need to hire somone and pay that much money? $400 is a lot and he really did not do much.
We ride motorcycles together. (nm)

You don’t have to just ride the freeways
I know, lived there and found all kind of back streets to get any and everywhere I wanted- so much easier- always listened to traffic report in the morning and made my travel accordingly. The freeways are just parking lots here, any wreck shuts them completely down for hours. Can he not go on a different route than what he travels now? I do when traveling through now.
Then buy a 2nd plane ticket for it to ride next to her, lol.

It's a tradition with us! Only have a 1/2-hour ride. nm

that i used to ride race horses,
that i've been a crime victim more than once, that i'm a descendant of Eric the Red and Leif Erickson...gosh, lots more!!
Mine are teenagers now so they don't ride a bus
but when they were little their bus driver was a member of our church. Her husband is also a bus driver and works for my husband part-time. I know there are lots of crazies out there, just don't lump "all" bus drivers in that catagory.
I visualized a horse, love to ride
and today I was given a beautiful paint gelding
Does he show the horses or trail ride?
We have horses. There's ALWAYS something you need or want. How about a gift certificate to his favorite tack store? Or something special he wouldn't buy himself for riding? There's a lot of catalogs that cater to horse owners that have some really cool gifts. LOL, one of the gifts my 12 yo neice has on her Christmas list is a gift certificate to Tractor Supply, yeah I know, you might be a redneck if . . . .
Personally, I would let it ride. Cost a man his job and reputation for a lifetime over this?
And unless you like to see your husband upset, I'd not say anything to him if I were you.
I learned at about the age of 20 how to give a look that made people shudder when they offended me. That is enough for me in situations like this which I consider a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in the sexual harrassment department.
Do you realize the resulting damage you will do if you take a 2 second event into discussion with white shirts?
My round trip commute is 30 miles. I ride the bus every day.....
It is free to employees of the hospital I work for.
"Sleigh Ride" - instrumental by Trans-Siberian
LOVE all their music. Orchestral + rock. Also, try "Wizards in Winter"!
they let the nudists play in the park and ride their bikes through town

Poster did not give the ride. Why can't people read something and make an
effort to understand the whole issue before spouting off?
When 2 cars ride side by side on the interstate...sm
and block traffic so nobody can pass. I will get irate over this. I don't know where people's brains are.
Forgot,,,
some of the clubs listed above might have closed. Did not see them on Club Meds site. Profits?? The one I loved best was Mexico at Playa Blanca- out in the middle of nowhere and an oasis. I think you can get more for your buck now days.
Forgot, forgot
The water at Ixtapa was nasty!! That is on the Pacific side I believe probaby just at the border, too so long to get there. The Cancun water is absolutely gorgeous and what is strange, the weather can be 110 and yet the sand is not hot!! All my trips were out of the country so could not tell you about the ones here in the country. My children and/or daughter and I usually went for 2 weeks at a time. My daughter returned to Mexico this past summer (I went to Alaska) and she went to a place called Blue Bay, all inclusive but I believe might have been a bit raunchy for my taste.

This was on the nighttime ABCnews.
But, forgot to say,
what about someone with multiple sclerosis? Thanks.
Oh, forgot this
When I first went there husband had made approximate width, depth so I could get ballpark figure (later when measured was really low) but was told then she would lose money on me because of my needs being small but would make it up on other customers. I had twice as much when they actually measured and the guy who measured said really mine little above average house.
Forgot to add . . .
I hope the owners get prosecuted and put in jail or at the very least, fined.

This was my aunt that called and yelled at me (my cousins' mom)She said that they are not speaking to me because I am a jerk and a jacka$$.
Sorry, I forgot this, Me2!
You asked about Tyne's party attire. She was just in her gorgeous little suit that nature gave her, the tri-colored short-haired little coat with dainty feet, her large brown eyes and her beautiful, larger than proportionate ears and big eyes. She was enjoying being the center of attention! 
JustDogs at the mall has those darling little outfits, but mom said she would never wear one. At Halloween I usually give a party (OMG, bats, Halloween, etc.) and dresed her up last year (we had the party at mom's) in a little devil suit. She kept it on for a little while, but then I took it off. She looked adorable with the horns on!!
I saw some little slippers in a magazine for dogs. They had duck slippers and lamb slippers! It was all I could do not to order four!!! Mom said she would just take them off! They sure were cute! There was a picture of a Boxer wearing a rain coat that was just too cute for words!
Talk to you later!

My MIL lives in the same city and we hardly ever see her. When I told her and my FIL that I was pregnant for her their comment, it's just another present to buy for Christmas. I'll take your mother over them any day.
Oh, forgot to say
the hospital did payroll
deductions every 2 weeks on the hospital bill including 2 different surgeries.
I forgot one...
When I was little, I was scared to death of The Lost Boys. My brother used to try to make me watch it - I made it through one time and then after that I cried hysterically every time it was on TV. I was also terrified of the Thriller video! I'm not really scared of the psycho killer movies, it's more the ghosts and vampires and supernatural.
Forgot to add
my father is retired military, so we are USAA members and I think I've seen the discounts for Sprint services offered through them. Thanks for reminding me about that! Love USAA!!

When she broke up with a prior boyfriend of 1-1/2 years, she was upset for about a week and then was over it. Just give him time. And cookies.
Forgot to ask though sm
What if you want to do stuffing?
forgot
My son went to NYC at age 19; first job with airlines based out of Kennedy. I was scared to death for him. He did fine. I went to visit a year later - we had a wonderful time.
P.S. - I forgot to say
I wouldn't assume he did it. Believe it or not someone got ahold of my cell phone once and charged on it. It doesn't happen that often, but in today's day and age with all these hackers out there its better to inquire than assume and feel awful afterwards.
Sorry - I forgot to add this
I'm sorry I forgot to add that as I was reading the email and looking at the pic I wondered why in the world would sending an email of a so-called ghost standing next to a boy who died bring good luck? Gotta make you wonder.
On another note I did find an interesting article regarding chain letters. Here is the link.

sorry i forgot to say
this all started Saturday, that's why i'm worried. he still has a deep congested cough but now won't eat and only will sip water. :(
forgot to add - sm
She apparently had been taking cabs to and from the neighboring town, when she was only given permission to "hang out" in the town we live in. She would take the cabs to either get home by curfew or to the location that I had agreed to pick her up at. She would even walk around alone at night at times, unbeknownst to me. She has made some new friends that I don't know in this town and now wants to go there all the time. I am not comfortable with that at all. She basically feels entitled to do what she wants when she wants.
Forgot to add...
just in case it is unclear...the purpose of the packed suitcase is if he has another episode, all I have to do is zip up the suitcase and we are off to the foster care intake office.
Yes...I would really do it. If things get to that point, I would allow him to remain in foster care for a few months before starting the paperwork to get him back. We live in Georgia. They told me that it could take from 1 to 6 weeks to get him back, but that I would be able to get him back if I wanted to.
I forgot to add
I did ask him one time what solutions do these places have to offer. "None" was the answer. I said exactly. I said I can't listen to anyone who is going to get everyone in a panic over things that are going on but not give any solutions. That's what I don't like about any of the talk shows. They get people in an uproar and living in fear but they don't offer anything. But as they say "that goes on deaf ears"
I forgot one...
Chewing gum. I think it should be outlawed!
BTW: Sorry I forgot to say
xx
oh I forgot!
HE ALSO WENT TO PRISON FOR BEING A CHILD MOLESTER!
Forgot to add THIS
Wish I could adopt her!
Forgot to add
We also have a pool so we spend a lot of time outside swimming and having cookouts and bonfires with the neighbors.
Forgot to ask
Would you mind giving us the stats on your baby (name, weight, length, time born)? Funny how women usually like to hear all that. : )
Once she starts to be a little more aware and you can really see her connecting with you, it will be more rewarding.
sorry, forgot
here's one with good info.

Yep. I forgot about that
They don't like citrus. Orange peels or lemon peels or even some sort of essence. I used to work with a girl who said she put lemon juice on her plant leavevs and her kitten never touched them. You can also get something called Bitter Apple that is supposed to be a good cat deterrent, but I've never tried it.
You forgot the HOO after your BOO.
She sat for two months accepting lousy paychecks. She knew it wasn't getting any better. She could not pay her bills and now here's the eviction notice.
Wonder of wonders!!!
I have been waaaay down and out. You don't have a clue. Picking myself up and moving on worked for me.
I don't get it. Because I said pick yourself up and move on and get a job, it is terrible?
No wonder our country is in the state it's in.
Feeling sorry for yourself is healthy and helps?
Picking yourself up is a terrible thing to do?
For the love of!!!
I forgot to add - my daughter's cat
also has seizures and the vet put her on Valium. She has only had one since starting on it. She takes half a tablet twice a day. She is in a very, very good mood now also. She is so funny to watch. She is so relaxed, fat, and happy on those pills.
Oh, forgot to mention....
there was absolutely no need for prepainting, Kiltz or anything. The job turned out really good and neither 1 professional. All you have to do is buy white indoor paint or whatever color you want.
Oh, forgot, much more dignified than
keeping beer stocked in my home. Sorry...
