Rn, I can so relate to your story Serate. The phone number for a real estate company's fax machine was one number different than my phone number. I contacted the company and tried to get it resolved to no avail. I finally unplugged my fax machine, then I would come home to at least 3 fax tone messages on my machine a day. So I finally gave up and changed the number and like you it was someone's number who had a bunch of debt collectors after them. It has been over a year and I still get calls, debt collectors, Dr.'s offices, etc.

Rn, we had that happen to us, too. We had an elderly couple's old phone number. Their friends would ask US how to reach them..LOL

Right now, I am kind of freaked out that TWO TVCH members had the tainted peanut butter, and one of them has been sick. Think what that translates to nationwide.

It too much to use a shovel 20 inches of snow. I would have a heartattack if shovel. I just called another place hopefully they will return my call.

RN add me to the list of people with tainted peanut butter. I only ate little bit of it so I just threw the whole jar out. No illness though.

Right now .... once again I am co-worker-less because he has decided not to come to work. And since he is the bosses son, nobody says a word. But all of his work is passed over to me because we are a department of 2 ... when he's actually here. This is not a good way to start off a Friday morning. Scoot, isn't it slap your co-worker day?? D/mn, he isn't even here to slap.

RN, I have just learned that the manager of the Whataburger that Travis and I frequent on Wednesday's 2-for-1 night was shot by a disgruntled fired employee last night. The manager is okay and being released from the hospital today. What was the most disturbing is that I recognized the employee who was always very courteous and took that extra effort to make sure the customers were happy. The manager, on the other hand, has been very rude on more than one occasion, but this in no way means I think she deserves to be shot.

Right now, it's not even noon and I'm exhausted! I am in the midst of "Nancy Drew and the Case of the Missing Valentine Flower Arrangement"...which involves my mother so you know it's not pleasant. Yesterday, I got a call from my mother and she's all pissy with me because I didn't call and thank her for the flowers she sent for Valentines Day. I say..."What flowers?" And then she's all huffy like it was my fault I didn't get the flowers SHE sent. So I call the flower shop and the gal there, Patty, is just as sweet as can be. I explained that I just got a call from my mother and I am trying to track down flowers. She tells me that she will gladly search through all the invoices (and being Valentines Day you know there was a bunch of them) if I could give her some time. I told her there was no hurry and that I would call back later that afternoon. So I call Patty back, but she could not find any record of the order and then she offered to give the numbers of the other places in town. So this morning, bright and early before I even had my coffee, my mother calls back. I tell her that the flower place had no record of the oder...so she says she will call. Then a few minutes later she calls back and tells me that she really raised heck and the girl finally found the invoice and the flowers had been delivered on Valentines Day, however the driver said that there was no one home so he left them on the back step (a door we never use) in below zero weather. I checked the back step...and Voila! There's the flowers. Now who would ever check the back step for flowers in below zero weather. So I call Patty back and tell her that I found the missing flowers, and I also apologized for my mother who is not the most pleasant person to deal with. I told Patty not to take it personally, she's just a very crabby person. Hubby adds from the background "And she gets worse with age!" (He's no help.) The REALLY funny part is that Patty bless her heart...told my mother that if she was going to use that kind of language then Patty was going to hang up. THEN Patty tells her how nice I was the day before! lol! Score one for Patty! So the owner of the shop is now on the way with a new flower arrangement. Talk about going the extra 12 miles! I will make sure that the owner knows what a terrific employee he has in Patty. He is not to happy with the delivery person who decided to leave flowers on the back step in cold however! Poor guy. So, the bottom line is ....I'm getting flowers!

RN Mary, Can you track down my Valentine's Day gift? It, whatever it is, has still not been delivered. When Darren got home last night he took the phone to the bedroom and called somewhere. All I heard was about 10 minutes in was him raising his voice and saying, "I gave you directions to my house three times!!!" I have no idea what is going on with that!

Right now...the flower arrangement has arrived! It's huge! It's a whole garden! The flower shop really went above and beyond. Hoping Wargod has the same results.

RN I wonder why I haven't received a thank you card from my aunt for the flowers I sent to my uncle's funeral. Or is that no longer protocol?

RN Twinkie, no matter what Miss Manners says, IMO there is no time frame to get thank you cards out for things such as this. Some people do it right away, some people have to wait. When my mom died, I was the one that had to handle everything. I wanted to do it and get it over with so if I could have I probably would have done it the day after her funeral. Circumstances made it necessary to wait 3 days after. When my cousin's husband died, she ended up waiting 3 months and then only sent them because my aunt nagged her nonstop until she finally gave in. For me, I wanted it over with so I could finally not be the strong one and mourn. For my cousin she saw it as the final goodbye to her husband so wanted to prolong it as long as she could. Everybody has their own way of dealing. There is no right or wrong.

RN thanks guys! I hadn't even thought about it until Mary mentioned flowers. Since I ordered them online I can only hope they got there.
