This one is tough...... it runs the gammit of being an HONEST parent and telling them the truth at birth...there is no Santa, no Easter Bunny and No Tooth fairy.... or the other kind of parent (more like me)...who relishes in listening to my daughter believe in the magic......that Santa watches and knows if she's been good or bad for the year (much like GOD but moreso during the holidays) and that when she lost a tooth...I love seeing how excited she was finding a few dollar coins in place of the tooth in the morning........ but....... at what age do you stop the magic...do you watch o

Admittedly, I've always had Comcast. It seems, as with many things, in order to get what you want... you have to spend a lot of time escalating the issues up the chain.... I can attest to having multiple issues with Comcast over the years and in one situation, I called Comcast Corporate and they chewed out a Regional Manager (the Cartersville office) because every time the Atlanta office made a concession and apologized and gave me some free channels, the next day she would see that and disallow it... Finally had enough and got my cable at a HUGE discount with all channels for 6 months. Howe

Good Morning Everyone... Happy Friday Eve!! (Day before Christmas = Christmas eve... Day before New Year's = New Year's Eve... Day before Friday!!!!!!)

Whew, I've not been on Pcom for a while..... I know I can always work around the house... the list never ends (and honestly, I enjoy having a list...it's a guy thing)... and I suppose if I don't get the plants I bought yesterday in the ground...they'll probably die so that will be a 'must' today... but.... for now... I'm gonna get out and go to Stevie B's and try their Chicken Cordon Bleu pizza. If anyone wants to get out....I'll be the guy sitting by himself They open at noon...so I'll probably be there by about 12:30. After that...well, I suppose it's either back home and plant... o

After reading everyone's comments.... I was going to say that I'll use Priceline when I need a vehicle from an airport; or even a hotel near where I want to stay because you can really save a lot of $$$.....and...... I'll use them for airfare, as I have in the past, but only when I've left an entire day open for travel to and from my destination. They try to get you a plane during a decent time...but when there's a seat to fill...even on a red-eye...be prepared. All-in-all... I'll use Priceline if I'm traveling by myself since I won't care what time I have to get up and go...but it's much more

Sooo, think you're having a bad day? Consider some of these folks stories.... ----------------------------------------------- WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR FIVE DAYS From the New York Times: Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for five days before anyone asked if he was feeling okay. George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away

I'd love to take my mother (arriving from out of town) to the Saturday show (either one)... I even went to the box office yesterday and they told me they only have a few single seats available. I also called ticketmaster...who said the same thing. But the guy at the box office said sometimes seats become available a day or two before the performance...or a few hours before a show...but........ I may try to call both tomorrow and even stop by the box office again Friday morning on my way to the airport to pick her up...but after that, oh well.... I can only go on Saturday....if anyone has tick

VERY COOL...THANK YOU SO MUCH...I'll go to WAlly World directly after work and check it out...time to buy some bird feed!!

..only on for a minute, than off to a meeting... I want to bring my daughter and 2 friends (adult and child) to Six Flags this Saturday... The best price I found so far was using a coupon code and getting 4 for $24.75 each...but that doesn't include parking with I think is another few dollars.. I'd appreciate any suggestions for a better ticket price (if that's possible). I'm sure there are probably discounts for police, fire, military...are they any cheaper than what I found? Thanks... I'll check back later after my meetings....

****** Would a deputy/moderator please close this thread ****

================= Interesting...by your response... ...you believe there is a direct correlation between your income and how you respond to fraudulant charges. "If I made 150K per year---I would not be poor mouthing about my medical bill". Presuming 'they' will be more likely to correct the error...... is and was an incorrect assumption. You've missed the point. My venting was frustration because I've done everything short of legal action and really don't want to have to go that route....but....as I said....if, after all that has been done to correct this....it is not corrected by the t

I started to keep records from the day I went into the hospital and have enough documents/paperwork from the hospital and insurance company to validate everythig I've said.... We'll see what happens....

***************************************** Thank you and good point.

********************** Agreed!!!

*********************************** It was interesting after I had the discussion with the manager and we addressed the charges for the procedures never done and that the nurse actually 'documented' results on my medical record....she was alittle dumbfounded..... I really think that's why she sent the check back. I want them to confirm the account is paid in full and closed....that's all I want to hear... If another bill comes in April....... I'll take the next step. I'm sure they falsly charge a lot of people and get away with it all of the time to the millions. *****************

Agreed...I'm calling my insurance company and am pursuing the hospital as well. I just doubt they are fixing the problem and really don't want them to mess with my credit. Fixing an credit error can take quite a while. That could take alot of my time which shouldn't be happening in the first place.... We'll see what happens...at least I have all of the original documents... Thx

************************************************************************************ Trust me...I hate that too. "costing people like me..." I hope you don't feel that all lawsuits are about 'free money?' What makes you think that I'm not one of those people who has also been paying for frivilous lawsuits.... Major bodily damage? Lawsuits are also to effect change...to correct errors when other means are unsuccessful. Tell me.....if you made say $150K a year...and your hospital bill was $5000....$3000 in error...you tried unsuccessfully to get them to correct it and they constantly

thanks all for your suggestions

The 'They' is 'Me'....that's what makes it difficult when you're locked into a specific week... okay, call your girlfriends...if they want to go to Texas...I'll go along :-)

sounds good, I'll give Josephine a call on the way home.. thanks... and yes, it's just me going on this vacation unless there's someone out there that also plans to get away at that time...

Wow, I didn't think this would be a problem, but maybe someone can offer some advice... I've accrued quite a bit of vacation time (PTO) and I've been told I need to take some time off (Use it or lose it) and now I'm getting the last week of February (21-27) off to go someplace... Of course, upon my return I'll have more PTO accrued, but for now....I'd like to go on a cruise and almost everyone I know can't get that time off.... I have no problem going on a cruise by myself and have looked at several of the single cruises...but there are only 2 or 3 for that week and fewer that DON'T go t

Recent studies (which mean old studies that received more more money to revive the them) have brought up the dangers of diet drinks, high sugar and even worse...caffeine. They're all dangerous and do nothing good for your body...specifically your internal organs. We all hear about all of the 'sugar substitutes' and even the one that actually helps reduce diabetic reactions (pure Stevia) will have someone touting something negative. If there's money involved, someone will make up something bad... The secret ingredient in Coke is 7X....a synthetic cocaine..... the secret flavor of Dr.

I didn't see this challenge on your menu...what's the actual offer (aside from bragging rights of being a pig ? ) What's the cost of these burgers individually and what's the cost of the challenge? Will you comp the meal if you complete the challenge? Looks like fun (except for the bucket lol...). Admittedly, those burgers looker REALLY good..or maybe I'm just hungry...hmmm

YOU!!! SCARED!!! Come on......I thought nothing scares you??????

Just curious...I want to get remote access Video surveillance (sp?) and all I've seen advertised is ADT...anyone have some pros and cons...experiences and or suggestions? Thanks...
