Kitty are there any lurking secrets/bad things to belong to rebates.com? I don't belong to anything like that. I have a niece that uses swag bucks from Amazon and she is always getting enough points or whatever it is to get things free. Last year I got hooked on my online shopping but this year I haven't been started looking. 6 babies barely under 3 is hard on us, especially when the parents aren't even married. And now one of my nephews is in a relationship with another woman. I just want to email her and warn her about what Matt's sperm count must be and he doesn't wear protection. why does it always have to be the woman. And she is only 19 years old. Sometimes I don't like the things I find out on face book.

I now have my laptop back!!! Yesterday my son in law sent me a message asking what all I used a computer for. When I looked at the tiny list I decided it wasn't worth the huge amount of money I would have to spend for an apple. So I started out by going to Best Buy and having the Geek Squad look at the laptop and seeing if it could be started. It could so I bought a generic charge cord and it is working fine. first thing I did as to run my virus and maintinence before I even started. When I was getting ready to turn it off for the night, I had 20 new updates I had to install! But I can't find anywhere on the iPad to delete history except for swiping upward on the home page ut it is getting slow on me

The Halloween candy will be gone tomorrow. That is if we leave it alone until my daughter gets here. We also gets to meet her new boyfriend. We are meeting at out house so DH won't make a scene where ever we may go out. He is a bit, put lightly, of a racist and her guy is black.

We met the boyfriend today. He is quite nice. You can tell by the way he talks of his Aunty, calling us Maam and Sir ALL the time that he was raised in a very proper African American home. He is very respectul of daughter and us. He said he could tell by my sense of humor that Michelle got it from me. He also found out he had the ability to get these real quick one liners with my husband. So they had fun with that for awhile. So it was a good time. Husband invited him to go out and eat with us on weekends and if he wanted to come for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner he could.

Well I finished my candy today. And i mean finished it. All gone. But I put it all in my food diary on My Fitness Pal. So I was good in that sense

Thumbs up

Doydie, ebates.com is the best thing I've found on the Internet!

Since I do 99.9% of my shopping online it really helps to get a percentage back from each purchase. I think my biggest rebate maker is from the cat food and supplies I buy.

All you have to do is go to www.ebates.com and type in the "search" box whatever online retailer you're planning to use to see if they are one of ebates participants. Most all I use are.

There are lots of FAQ's so most of your concerns are addressed there.

I love it and wouldn't shop online without it. I think my biggest rebate check to date has been $246. That is just from using websites that are part of ebates. I'm going to buy anyway.....may as well get paid to do it!

Here is the link to the site......www.ebates.com

I hope you sign up and use the service. That little rebate check every three months is a treat!

Kitty, there are a lot of store on that site!!! I'll have to think about it.

Being the Queen of Procrastination, I have put off calling a contractor to get estimates to take care of my water mess we had in the laundry room. I have a list of 4 to call. I was actually able to physically talk to one today. He wouldn't even be able to start until January WE have Thanksgiving and Christmas in that mold infested room! There will be a 1 month old baby coming. I hope we can find some one else that can start and finish before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, if we do some creative thinking, we can have it t my sister's house since there are only going to be about 12. But Christmas. Yikes. There are about 30 and we can not have it there. It's crowded enough here.

I use ebates; have it sent to my PayPal account. Pis....made me really mad when the 2 times I spent the most money, on airline tickets, oh! somehow it didn't register on ebates. Oh my, how did that happen...

Had the breast ultrasound yesterday. All they found was a couple small fluid cysts. Apparently there's still something there they want to watch - a dot showed on the mammogram. I go back in 6 months for a comparison mammogram.

Tomorrow is the orthopedic surgeon appointment for my knee. My Chiropractor, who read the report, says it's possible surgery may not be necessary. Maybe a brace would allow the tears to heal.

Had appointment with surgeon yesterday. I have to stop taking one of my meds for a week (for colitis), and then have ultrasound guided biopsy at hospital. I guess the med has aspirin in it? or aspirin qualities? he was not able to feel the nodules. One is about the size of a quarter and partially filled with fluid and the other is tiny. There were some qualities to them that cold possible suggest cancer so the biopsy is necessary.

Going out to lunch with my mom and sister today and then I am sure we will be watching election results tonight.

Hugs and prayers Barb, I bet they are just being overly cautious. At least you'll know after the biopsy? This time last year I had laser guided biopsy in four spots in my breasts, one would not have been bad at all, but all four (took about six hours) were exhausting. Mine were suspicious but not cancerous so I'm taking the anti-breast cancer drug for five years. Even if you end up having to take synthroid it shouldn't be too bad.

Sparky,

It's good they are repeating the mammogram after six months. I need to schedule mine soon. I have all of those little areas of scar tissue after all those little surgeries last year. I'm hoping and praying they don't think they see something because of those and want to do biopsies again.

I finally got one contracter to come out today to give us an estimate. One will come out tomorrow and another Friday. The guy who came out today said he didn't see any evidence of mold that had accumulated at all so that was very good news. On of the problem as to why it smells so bad still is that we have just kept the door closed to one room that is ajacent and got some water. It is a very poorly designed bathroom that had sewage backed into it a long time ago and we don't use it except for storage. We took care of the problem years ago but we did an amateur job of blocking the drains so we just keep the door closed. So now we are keeping the door open and a fan constantly going to get it ventilated.

I can't place my finger on what is wrong but I have this vague pain in my upper right chest right underneath my collar bone. Also I am not able to sing as well as I used to. Heck, I can't sing as well as I did last week. I am an alto and for any who understands reading music here, I can hardly sing a G. I would just like to join the men's section and be a tenor! I will keep an eye on both problems
