Yesterday after mom's birthday
dinner we had to stop in Kroger
for some pop and milk.
While heading to the checkout
I found they had solar stake lights
on sale for $1.50 in their seasonal isle.
That's the cheapest I've seen.
Well, other than one time they
had them at Dollar tree for a buck
but they sold out pretty quick.
I priced some that were similar
at Lowes and they go for $3.00 each.
So if you need solar yard lights
I'd swoop up on them at $1.50!

I might buy just one for now
to see how bright it is a night
before I buy a bunch.
I had been wanting to put
them on top of our fence posts
but Tony thinks kids would
knock them off.

----------------------------------------

I hadn't mentioned anything to Tony
about wanting to repaint the living room.
A couple days ago he mentioned
he would like to repaint it.
I was so glad, and told him I
already had a color picked out!

Yellow wall paint is not an easy
color to choose for your home!
It's probably one of the hardest to pick.
I have searched high a low for
just the perfect color so will
now have to wait and see if when
or if we get it, it shows well on the walls.
It's called Blonde by Sherwin Williams.

9:00pm

Ahhhh, what the heck is with Capital One?!
I am so sick and tired of them calling!!
Any other company would just send
you a bill in the mail, not them,
they prefer to call and harass you.

Do you think because I sent out
a late payment last month that they
would just send me a bill with the late
payment fee. They called and harassed
us for the late fee payment over the phone!
I'm not paying over the phone.
I don't know who I would be giving
my checking account number to
and if they would abuse it.
Get my drift. I don't feel comfortable with it!
We stuck our grounds and told them
we're not paying over the phone
and to send us a bill which they eventually did
and we paid it. This is what any other
bill company does.

Last week they kept calling and it was
because they said our balance was over
by $43 and wanted us to pay it over
the phone again. Once again said
to send it on our monthly bill.
And the only reason our balance went over
is because they tack on crap like
protection guard or whatever the heck it is,
without our knowledge. We don't use the card
but somehow they balance keeps going up!
I'm never gonna get ahead at this rate.

Why do they have to keep harassing
us with phone calls to pay them over the phone???
Why can't they just send us the freakin
paper bill with the amount on it?
I paid last month's bill and even
gave them a little extra!

I've always paid my bills on time
except just recently when we had an
emergency which was more important.

I'm so tired of it!!!
We told them last week to send
us a paper bill and they said they would.
Now at 9:00am this morning
they are starting to call again.
I don't answer but can see it on the
caller ID. We told them
to call us in the evenings so they could
talk to Tony who has the card.
They didn't listen.

Last month we got down right pissed at
them for the numerous phone calls
saying we hadn't paid our bill
when in all actuality we did and
it cleared the bank a week earlier to say they got
their payment. It finally took calling
customer service to get it straightened out.
Do you get an apology for the harassment?
NO!

I guess you wouldn't understand
the situation we're going through with them
and I don't know how better to explain it.
Each month you get monthly statements
and bills in the mail and you pay them.
If you get late fees or owe a balance on let's
say, your electric bill, they put it on the
next month's bill.
Not Capital One! They are insisting we pay
it over the phone instead of just putting
it on the next bill so we can pay it
with the current payment.

I am once again getting flustered
and stressed out!!!
When it rains it pours and it
doesn't seem to be letting up
around here. It's been one thing
after another and I'm wondering
when this bad luck streak will end.
Because at the moment nothing
seems to be in our favor.

-------------------------------

11:35pm

I'm watching the 6 days 7 nights movie on tv.
I've seen it before. It's pretty good.
Jogged a half mile on the epilletical then did 2 surveys.
Made $3.50 today so far to add to the pot.


---------------------

12:00pm

What do ya know, I got a Capital One
bill today and it doesn't state I owe
that extra $43 on there.
I'll go ahead and pay it though
so maybe, ha ha ha, they'll quit calling here!
It's all in my favor though. Not like
a fee as it's only going towards getting our
balance down.

-----------------------------

We're trying to plan something
for this weekend to get the heck
outta this house. Being couped up in
here isn't doing us any good.
Need a breather that's for sure so
thinking about heading to South
Columbus and Pickaway county.
Not sure what we're doing and don't
really care. Might walk around an indoor
flea market or just take a drive.

---------------------------------

Tonight I guess we're heading out to
Groveport by Ricart to fix someone's
ceiling fan. Yeah at times we do
side work like house repairs for people.
I can't stand this person and he will
feel the burn from my penetrating
eyes on the side of his head
the whole time there.
This is the person we painted walls,
did trim work and whatever else there was
awhile back. They were supposed
to of fixed the transmission in our car
and it ended up worse than before and was supposed to
of paid us some cash as well and didn't.
Not my idea, I'm just along for the ride.
Not responsible for my actions when
we get there though .
I'm tired of being taken advantage of!!
Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you. HA! Too bad they
don't think the same way.

-----------------------------

Shampoo Warning!

Shampoo Warning: I figured out why I'm so fat. The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says, for extra volume and body. I'm going to start using Dawn dish washing soap. It says "Dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove!"
