I get a message on my phone this weekend from principal saying my daughter was selected to be put in a 2/3 grade class.  She is in 2nd grade.  I think personally something else is up.  Why such a great class being formed in January??? and why call on the weekend?  She's not that upset about it, but we just moved to the area and this starts this morning.  So now she had to meet new friends and now new friends again.  Not sure how I should handle this.  I'm upset, but at same time, might not be a bad thing.  I do want to let them know I'm not pleased though.

of Limoncello just in case the ginger falls flat. Thanks so much for the YouTube vid.

Happy New Year!

Here is the latest scoop - and thanks everyone for all the support. 

I called today and spoke with the office manager, who seemed very nice and truly seemed embarrassed by the whole thing.  She told me that the doctor himself had wanted those letters sent out, and that they are not for patients who missed scheduled appointments at all, which is what I thought it might be (even though I cancelled the appointment at least a week prior to when it was scheduled).  He is charging us for making the appointment and cancelling it!!!  Yes, I am serious.  She apologized, said her hands were tied and that she had butted heads with him over this, but he would not budge.  He told her to tell the patients that they could either pay the $100 or he would turn them over to his attorney.  Again, I am serious.  Talk about a jaw dropper.  She also said that I was not the only patient to be complaining.  Apparently other folks are as upset at this as I am. 

I told her that I understood she was in a tough position, and I do.  It is not her fault this doctor is an a double s.  I told her to go ahead and tell him to contact his attorney if he felt he had to, but that I would be filing complaints with the BBB and the Kentucky Med. Licensing folks. 

I contacted the BBB, filed a complaint promptly with them, and also talked to the Kentucky Attorney General's office, who are sending me a complaint form.  Tomorrow I will call the Med. Licensing Board, as well as my insurance company, just to put them on alert. 

I hate the thought of this quack getting even one person to pay this ridiculous price.  A patient should not be punished for cancelling an appointment.  I just can't even begin to express how sick this makes me, and hopping mad.  Not that I think I am smarter than everyone else, but you all know that doing the work we do kinda takes the "godness" out of the way we look at doctors.  I know that people are going to pay  him when they are threatened with his attorney, and that is just wrong. 

Anyhow, thanks for letting me vent and I will keep you updated.

the enjoyment of forwarding them to my friends for their listening pleasure.  MUSIC IS THE BEST MEDICINE, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS OF ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OR ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

be friends with Susie and Tommy rather than parents. They want their kids to like them, don't want to hurt the poor little ones feelings or harm their self-esteem. Instead of rules they compromise, instead of depriving them of certain things these parents lavish them with every material thing they can for fear of being called a bad mom or dad. It's easier to buy the kid stuff and let them do what they want rather than buck up and be a parent. You all know who you are out there. I have to laugh when I see the 12-year-old who is dressed like a 22-year-old who is at the mall with her 35-year-old mother who is dressed like a 12-year-old. I also think the role models in the home have a lot to do with it too. Mom and dad probably don't respect each other, argue, use foul language, what is a kid to do but think that's the way relationships work. Many parents today are raising the furture  princess whiny-give me-buy me and prince disrepectful-treat women like crap-selfish adults of tomorrow. We are doomed!

first.  H is going to call around to see who has stove insulation.  I will scrub it down with baking soda like someone else suggested.  I have also read on the internet to sprinkle the new insulation Cayenne peper.   They said the house had a fragrance for a while, but they never had to deal iwth rat pee anymore.  If anything, I don't see why we cannot at least use the top part.  I may just get rid of my cake mixes and cookie mixes.  I guess I can either give them to my mom or give them to the food bank.  We do have a George Foreman MIL gave us for Christmas.  I have hardly used it because it was hard to clean.  I considered selling it.  

 Right now, I just don't think we can afford it without using credit.  We owe too much already.  It is so bad that I have been looking around to see what I can sell.  Not to buy a new stove but to pay some of this stuff down.  We have Christmas to do and next month we have property taxes, car tags. 

appreciate any advice, experience, do or dont's on buying one.  One of the reasons I hate cycling is because of those small seats and my backside is fairly large (all the more reason to exercise).  I need to start getting more exercise for health reasons or I'm headed in for serious problems.

My daughter is 5 and really wanted a cat, but we just aren't "cat people."  We have a big dog, and she loves him but wanted something cuddlier.  We wanted something that she could help care for and play with.  We get the "pigs" out of their cage every day (we have a an indoor fence/play yard that we put on a towel to catch the pee and poop) and let them run around.  They have turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought they would.  They really don't smell as long as you change the bedding in the cage every three to four days (might go longer if you only had one).  From the things I've read and our experience, they are really gentle and tolerant (no one has gotten even an accidental bite since we got them in March, and we handle them ALL the time). 

The negatives are that they are quite messy ( lots more vaccuming in the room where the cage is - again might not be as bad with only one - most of the bedding goes flying when they get to chasing each other around), and they can be noisy (especially at night when you're wanting to sleep). 

They are terribly cute, and we love them but, like any animal, they are a lot of work.  I don't regret it at all, but I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.   

If you want to go "out west" try the coast of California.  No snow there, but snow in Colorado.

a six-month tour of duty fighting to keep us all free!  He just got married before he left in November and everyone is doing little dances all over the place!!!   GOOD FOR YOU, John Michael.
