sounds good to me saves time hard not to capitalize the lol s though and i think you are right about it being confusing without the punctuation

you get used to it pretty quickly. it saves lots of time and you can use that to post in more threads! and then when you want to emphasize something, you REALLY see it when you type that one word in capitals!

lol teach! i'm not an english teacher but i get the same way and i find i'm doing a lot of backspacing to remove the capitals and the punctuation! heh heh yeah, the reason i asked about the difference in the hooded robes and the non is because i need the size around the hips and i have my eye on a hooded robe but maybe i should go for one without! gah this gets hard! in highschool i had an e.e. cummings thing going on and wrote in all lower case because i thought it was cool looking. after having to proof and correct people's writings for so long it's more difficult but definitely easier when you want to type fast esp. on instant messaging.

You know...you guys just might see me on the 6:00 news...for homicide! I am so upset I feel like bombing Standard Pacific offices! Short story...Bought new house in June. Had over 120 defects. Lived out of boxes for the first 4 months because of repairs being done (couldn't unpack). Had no use of entire kitchen for 2 months and only was able to put a dining table in the kitchen for Thanksgiving. Still no dining room furniture because of problems with the wood floors. Still only have use of 50% of kitchen. Had leaks, doors falling off hinges, no Freon in air conditioning, chipped windows, toilet installed 6 inches away from wall...and much, much more! The customer service is ridiculous. After numerous appointments(17) the window company delivers me a window that has more chips and swirls than the one they are replacing. I point it out to the installer and he whips out a paper that says that the California code states that they are only responsible for defects if they can be seen after these conditions are met..."you can't be closer than 11 ft, you can't look at it in sunlight, and you can't look at it for more than 3 seconds!" I almost killed the guy right there! Now...the latest is that the wood floors needed refinished because Standard Pacific left permanent footprints in the finish cause they walked on it too soon before we moved in. In the mean time all the other workers have added to the damage by dropping equipment, over spraying paint etc. My shutter guy has been holding my shutters and drapes for months because of all this and is rightfully upset. They were supposed to come today at 8am to do the floors. We stayed up all night (never went to bed) covering all the carpet, sealing off the cabinets with plastic and blue tape (2000sq ft.of plastic), vacuuming and cleaning the floors...then we stayed there waiting and no one ever shows up! We bought a microwave and food because we have to stay in our bedroom for 24 hours. Turns out the rep thought it was a 2 day process. But it is not, so it could have been done today. And that does not explain why no one called us to tell us they were not coming or why the first step was not at least preformed today. Now they are coming next Monday (we hope) and I have to go through everything again...I also have to cancel my dentist appt. to put the permanent crown in...that is if I can open my jaw by then...and worker installing the shutters will be walking on the newly refinished floor too soon. Believe me when I say that this is only 10% of the stuff that has happened with Standard Pacific! I really feel like I am losing my mind! In addition to the fact that I am in pain with this darn tooth situation! I am wrapped in TWO CC robes and a CC blanket (no heat/air allowed when they do the floors) so the house was cold! I wanted the softness to swallow me up! I am so at the end of my rope!!! Sorry about the rant..but I needed it!

OMG, Since, that's horrible!! Maybe you need to get some trouble-shooter type person, like from a tv news station to give them some bad publicity and a good nudge? (or at least another CC product to soothe you?)

Sea...When the guy told me about the window stipulations, I whom am always calm, lost it! I told him I didn't care about their stupid stipulations that as far as I was concerned he might as well be telling me I had to stand on one leg hopping while covering one eye etc! I also said if he could not deliver an undamaged window, I would go to every news channel and burn his company and Standard Pacific and I would not rest until I made his life a virtual hell. He could tell I meant it too. Part of the problem is you can't even sue these buggers. A new law as of 2 years ago requires you to give the builder a chance (how long is the question)to remedy the problem before suing. As long as they SAY they are going to fix it, my hands are tied. All repairs would come to a halt while in litigation, which could take years and more money that I have. A trouble shooter would have to deal with the 15 different companies I have to deal with...I did talk to one and he sort of said my problems are so extensive...they like the one problem/ quick solve things for the TV spots. I have spoken to the CEO and emailed the president... they really don't give a crap! I made him come and see my house. It was comical, like the Pres. of the USA was here. People were standing between us and not letting me talk much . He never said anything just nodded his head. Subsequent emails with him were a lot of words with no meaning. I would scratch my head and say "What is he trying to say here???" I WAS going to buy another CC blanket...I wanted Cocoa then Ee told me it doesn't come in King/Cocoa or even Camel so I guess I might have to get the Stone. Do they have a CC womb??? I would zip myself right up in that!!! How about a CC pacifier???

Tess~ Thank you! I needed a hug! Now...I am going to the dentist to see what we can do about the lockjaw she caused me when she injected the anesthesia in to my jaw muscle... I need some Fung Shui or some sage smudging..I am serious! Everything is screwy. You would not believe all the things that are happening to me lately...someone siphoned my gas TWICE. The same week they tried to steal my car, had to replace the whole door. It now seems I need a new transmission. My whole trip to wine country was fraught with problems! On and on! I AM Murphy's Law!!! LOL!!!

Bonza~ Thanks for the sage smudge! At first I thought it was a pig's hoof/foot and made me think YUK! LOL! Yes..I need glasses! So I went to the dentist to see if she could do something about the swollen gums and the "lockjaw". While I am there she says "Oh, your crown is already here. Well let's try it on and see if you like the color and if it fits. I don't need alot of room to fit the crown"... And me being the weenie that I am...I let her. Now my jaw and gums feel worse cause I had to have her work in 1/2 inch of space and poke at my gums. I stopped off at the store to get Ambesol. Yeow!!! It was like putting hot peppers on a wound! Is there anything that helps sore teeth/gums other than Orajel/ Ambesol etc?

landi, one good thing about blankets is they always "fit"!! Since.. maybe an espresso blanket? But the stone is a nice color too. And I adore my white blanket and know landi loves her cream one. That is just a crazy situation, Since.. Is Standard Pacific the builder? I'll make a point to stay far away from them, if that is the case. Since.. when the time comes that you can meet up with Rosie and me I guarantee that we will provide hugs and pass some along from others here! LOL.. I thought it was some sort of carcass!! Sage, just sage.. whew! And now the dentist strikes AGAIN? Was she able to check and adjust the bite? Maybe in addition to the orajel/amesol stuff you could also use sensodyne or some toothpaste for sensitive teeth. My brother said he'd use lots of that when he did teeth whitening and it made his teeth so sensitive. (I tried teeth whitening and it caused me so much pain I couldn't take it and gave back all the unopened stuff to my dentist. Anyway my brother found that a coating of the toothpaste actually helped him.) Does this woman even GET how much pain she's caused you? Grrr

{{{{{{Since!!}}}}} I think we must be related! When one thing goes wrong here, it can never be just ONE THING! I have to say your "things" sound much worse than our last run of bad things. It's even worse when you get "physical pain" along with emotionally and financially painful!!! I hope you're feeling better soon! I'd be flipping out at this point myself!!

Sorry for all of your troubles, Since! Geesh, you can't seem to get a break! I don't know about remedies for the pain, but I find that a good stiff rum & Coke helps me sometimes (not kidding, actually). Best of luck to you

Sea~ I HAVE the espresso blanket...love it! Standard Pacific is the builder and they are top rated in California! Can't wait to see you and Rosie! I have been using straight fluoride toothpaste and fluoride rinse for a couple of years now. It really does help with the sensitivity of my teeth! I am thinking about doing the Zoom Whitening but am reluctant because of the pain I know I will have! I do think Doctors sometimes have no clue. Some are so desensitized to a patients pain....remember Nurse Maggie (Ratchet) telling a patient to "suck it up" when they were in pain?!? Abby~ Thanks...as I was reading it though I couldn't help laughing...it keeps telling you to run to the dentist...my cause of the pain! Sure enough I have done ALL of the remedies mentioned except the baking soda...I even got some hydrogen peroxide mouthwash at Henry's market in addition to the fluoride rinse I use. I have been doing everything I can apparently. Watching~ I am so used to things going wrong I am truly surprised when something goes right lately! If you are my when-it-rains-it-pours-hexed-soul-sister...remind me that we should not take any airplanes together! LOL!

LOL Hukd - Gotta be careful about using alcohol for pain remedies. It can get you into trouble.... or engaged! Heh heh When everyone would ask how my DH proposed I had to tell them he didn't, Southern Comfort did and it came from my mouth!!!! They had finished up my root canal from hell and we were going out to the country to his brother's. On the way there, the lidocaine started wearing off and the pain just kept getting worse and worse. By the time we got there, I was beside myself! Bring in the bottle of Southern Comfort we had left there on New Years. Well, many shots later the words, "Let's get married!" came sliding out of my mouth! Now we could have negated the "transaction" once we both sobered up, but we didn't and here we are 27 1/2 yrs and 3 kids later. ROFL Bawahahahaha Since! Yeah, no plane trips together but since I'm on the OTHER coast, there's not that much chance we'd be on the same plane! We should check w/one another before making reservations, though! LMAO!
