please help

Aren't they awful? I swear , when it hits , I can't feel the atmosphere around me. Only hot. Even if I am standing outside in the cold.

Hi everyone, Walt was a Mystery Shopper for Kentucky Fried Chicken for about a year.  It was fun.  I went with him sometimes.  We would go to every outlet in San Diego County in one day.  We had set things to order and we checked temperature of the chicken, whether they offered wet naps, etc.  Then, when the day was over, we took it all down to our skid-row and gave street people about $600 worth of meals.  The entire TRUNK was full of meals and buckets.  Could not go to regular places where they give out food, because nothing was wrapped good enough.  But we sure made a lot of people happy with desserts, whole buckets of chicken, dinners, drinks.  It was so heart-warming.  One day Walt asked a big black fellow if he wanted a chicken dinner, and he said, "Son, I need a lot more than a chicken dinner!".  I felt so sorry for him.

But most of the folks were just tickled pink.  The food was good and a real treat.

How is our Sue today?  And have we heard from Ulla?  I need to read the threads and see.

Love you all, Shirlann 

OMG - Just finished watching Idol - IT WAS HYSTERICAL!!!!  Sue, can't wait for you to see it.  Ryan hosted here, not sure why you get Cat.

TTYT,

Valerie 

Lisa where do you work?



i run a mobile phone store and believe me I think that must be the most complained about industry in the UK.

People are late paying there bill and they get cut off then SCREAM at me because after paying it takes 24 hours to get reconnected. pay your bill on time then you cheap skate!

I have been spat at sworn at and threatened!

Crazy people, yes I do feel like saying "well your phone didn't work for a few hours"... so f'ing what! Life goes on... get a grip! (I don't say that) LOL I'd love to though!!!

I have an atenna and Fox does not come in well at my house, I guess I will just have to miss Idol.

We are under a Severe Winter Storm Advisory for tonight through Friday Morning. The weather is expected to hit after midnight tonight and they are predicting 2-5 inches of snow before the storm ends Friday morning. I hope that we do get some snow. My boss just helped me set up where I will get a text msg to my phone if the office is closed due to bad weather from Channel 9. I will know if it works tomorrow. But I only work half a mile from the office and if I can't get my car down my slippery driveway, I could call my boss to come in his 4-wheel drive and pick me up. I am one who always shows up anyway. This summer was the longest I have been out of work (4 weeks for recouperation)

I have always had the flushed face/ears when I get hot, the Tamox did not help it any.

I used my vacation time (one week) and sick time (one week) for the various appointments and one day procedures througout the year. I did get disability pay while I was out in June at the tune of $150 a week. Considering I have about $110 a week deductions in the various insurances I have taken out (med, dental, vision, life, Aflac) and a 401k loan, I got the grand total of $32 take home every 2 weeks. I just am thankful that I took out the Aflac cancer plan 2 yrs ago before my first abnormal mammo/biopsy which was b9. Last year I got about $15000 from Aflac for all the cancer procedures that I had, that money helped me keep up the house payment and even remodeled my bathroom (crack in the tub). My DH says he Loves that Duck!

They say we will be in the 20's this weekend for highs. Not good for melting ice and snow.

I get the flushed face from my great-grandmother and grandmother, my father said that his grandmother and mother all got red faced when they got warm, I have done that since I was in my early 20's. Everyone asks me if I am OK when I have the red face. I keep a small fan in my office set to blow across my head when I feel warm. speaking of warm, my face is tingly now, better start the fan. It is weird considering that it is about 40 degrees outside now and I have a fan running in my office but earlier this morning I had a heater running. I just can't get comfortable.

The first year they offered the insurance, I took it up, because of my mom's dx in 2001 with cancer and her sister's ovarian cancer in 1978. I did not take it out on my dh but my policy is $28 every 2 weeks. At first I was hesitant about getting it, but this year it has paid for itself. I get $75 a year for cancer screenings (mammos) as part of the wellness benefits. Now the agent wants me to write a letter of testimonial saying how well it paid during my treatments that she can use in trying to sell the plan.

My son's dad also did not pay child support, I finally took him to court and dissolved his parental rights when my son was 3. If my new dh wanted to he could adopt my son and give him his last name, but when I met him my son was 11 and established with the name Beavers. John said that he did not need a paper to know who his dad was.

I live close to the mtns (about 45 minutes from Boone) and the ski resorts love the temps under freezing so they can make the snow but love it even more with the real stuff. It is rather cold for here. our normal high temps are in the mid 40-50's and low are in the upper 30-40's. Usually the snow here (in the foothills) lasts less than 2 days.

Where up North do you live? I saw you went to NY last week.

Hi to you too, Sheila.  Good to know that Aflac is actually as good as they advertise. 

Boy, you two are having some seriously cold, snowy weather.  I'm dying and it's about 28 degrees and clear here.

Hugs,

Karen

hi everyone this is my first time in chat rooms i was woundering if any one could give me some infor. i am going though another breast cancer scare and i have a problem i have had breast cancer once before with no medical insurance and lost my house and my flower shop and my husband because of no medical insurance.the problem is a doctor said that there is another lump in the same breast as before and it needs to come out but i can not find any company that will give me medical insurance.there for i do not know what to do because i can not afford to have the cancer removed this time,plus i have got back with my husdand and i am really scared about telling him about it this time. last time i went though this i ended up doing it by myself while caring for my eight kids now i only have two kids at home but i can't even aford to get any pain meds to help me with my pain.does any one know of any company in the us that i can get afordable medical insurance though that would help me with the cost this time

Sheila's right on the mark.  I know a gal who works for a local hospital here in the Seattle area.  Her job is to help patients without medical insurance find assistance.  She says there are HUNDREDS of special funds out there for people in need.  Definitely call your local hospital and ask if they have someone there who can meet with you, get your info, and find you some assistance.

Good luck to you!  Check back in to let us know how it goes.

Hugs,

Karen

I just recently checked with the cancer facilitator nurse with the wig bank on what was available for the uninsured women and how to find the assistance for a friend who had a lump. Crystal was the one who said to go to the health department.

Lisa, I am originally from Troy, North of Dayton. I spent time (4 weeks) as a pre-teen at Cleveland Clinic for scolosis surgery. I still have family in the Troy/Tipp City area.

Hi Sue!  Sounds like you'll be better off without that boss of yours.  I'm sorry you're feeling so crummy.  Do you still have a fever?

Cat, I believe, only hosts "So You Think You can Dance", here in the states.  I can't imagine why she'd be the host of AI broadcast in the UK.  Don't you see the exact same thing we do?  Ryan has been the one and only host of our version since season two.  There was another guy with him for season one, but they gave him the boot.

Hugs,

Karen

Karen...stop...no busting in...dont be silly.  xoxo
