Weekender

I have been busy all weekend taking photo's of some of my flowers and framing them is picnik. Love that program. It has been a nice weekend also.

Yesterday I got up early and helped my son's girlfriend with their rummage sale. It was a nice day to sit outside and be lazy. My other son is cleaning out his garage which used to be my MIL's garage and wants Rick to commit to which things he wants or doesn't want. Rick doesn't want to think about it which is why it is still at my son's. So I decided. Nice thing about being a nurse. You learn to be a decision maker, LOL. I figured my hubby lived without this long...... They are bringing the monster snow blower over here and I told my son not to get rid of the gardening tools but other then that, have at it.



So they made some good money at their rummage which was going to be used to have a mini trip when my grandchildren get here and then they got screwed around by direct TV. Over a month ago when they left their other place they called to disconnect. They were told to mail back the boxes and that direct TV would send them the mailing boxes with directions to send them back. Sounds good.

The boxes never came, they called and asked and were told that they would be coming, no problems. Then yesterday they show up, on a Saturday with a letter telling them to send it back that day. Of course it was to late the post office was closed. Then direct TV without any authorization took $477.00 out of their bank. They were not authorization to remove funds. It wasn't like their bill was paid out of direct withdrawal. They only gave them a check once to pay for installation.

Of course this all happens on the weekend. Banks closed They called the company to complain and see how this could have happened. So I told him check on line for lawsuits. I was pretty show I remembered they were being sued by people right and left for this type of consumer fraud. That and raising your rates over 2 times the amount without notice. Sure enough their is a big lawsuit agains't the company. So they talked to the lawyer but it won't help now. Their rent is due tomorrow and it was stolen. But eventually they should get their money back when it goes to court.

They knew they had to pay a disconnect fee. But nothing this huge and not without being billed and not without notice. What a crock of .....well you know. I tried to warn them I had heard really bad things about the company but sometimes no one listens to mom.


Rick hasn't had anymore A-fib and it only lasted about 3 hours when he had it. It is a real bummer because he had failed all the meds for it and we had such high hopes for the ablasion. Maybe it won't come back? Doubt it though as he thinks it had happened a couple of times before but just for a short time. If it comes back again we will probably have to go into the ER to make sure it is that for sure. I told him you can't tell positively if it is A-fib by just taking a pulse. You need a 12 lead. Hate to sit around thinking it is this and have a different problem going on. He is so stubborn that there is a good chance he won't tell me but now that I know he is doing it again I should be able to recogonize the signs. Major grumpiness is one of them with him, LOL. I told him it was his grumpy old attitude that caused this last one and he had better learn how to not sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff. He had been working on the mower for 3 days and just having a terrible time getting parts and getting it to work. We will see if he takes my advice.



Other then that not much going on. It is beautiful day. I have a couple more flower pots that are just screaming for flowers so I am going to hit the garden store while Rick finishes the mowing.



Have a great weekend all. We are grilling steaks tonight and I think sitting outside eating sounds wonderful. I have a nice bottle of dark zin chilling. Oh, and my tooth and jaw feel much better. Guess I'll live, LOL.
