But the worst part is, it went down 6 bucks after I bought it. Not to mention, they later e-mailed me a 4.99 shipping special coupob. I could've saved a good 10 bucks!

Fluff, all I can say is been there, done that~ Right now I'm proud of myself for keeping my cool (an unusual occurrence) Before we left for vacation, I paid off the lease on our Toyota and made sure that they had cancelled the auto pay (or so I thought) Today I got a check for the deposit we paid when we first leased it and also my bank statement... AFTER they cashed the check for the payoff they deducted another payment... oversight I'm thinking. I called and the customer service gal says a mistake was made when they sent the deposit back to us. They hadn't done the inspection on the vehicle yet and when they did they found "excess wear and tear" I asked what they considered excessive and she said they found 4 dents! I know there was one small one on the rear fender, but there WAS NOT 4 when we dropped it off at the dealership. So they decide to help themselves to my checking account to pay for it!! OHHHH... I was steamin'!! We turned the vehicle in with brand new $600 tires and we were almost 10,000 miles under our allotment! I mentioned that and the fact that no one at the dealership looked at the vehicle while were there to point out any damage. For all I know THEY damaged it after we left! Anyway, I was sweet and kind and she said we had been excellent customers and had no reason to doubt me and agreed to give me back my $450! Yay~

Right now I received this in an email and it touched me... I wanted to share it with my lovely friends here. I hope that it hasn't been posted already somewhere, but if it has, it bears repeating... Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Maya really is a marvel who has led quite an interesting and exciting life. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was "exciting." Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring everyday...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words. Because of that I share this.... by Maya Angelou When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less, I needn't hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress. But now that I am older, I've set my body free; There's the comfort of elastic Where once my waist would be. Inventor of those high-heeled shoes My feet have not forgiven; I have to wear a nine now, But used to wear a seven. And how about those pantyhose- They're sized by weight, you see, So how come when I put them on The crotch is at my knee? I need to wear these glasses As the print's been getting smaller; And it wasn't very long ago I know that I was taller. Though my hair has turned to grey and my skin no longer fits, On the inside, I'm the same old me, It's the outside's changed a bit. But, on a positive note... I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

AWWW Reader...you bring back some fun memories with posting that Cosmopolitan!! Try to enjoy your home alone time. I'm often home alone and it's been okay...sometimes lonely, but for the most part, okay. And RG, I LOVE that Maya poem! She is such a marvelous woman whom I admire greatly! I'm going to copy and past the poem you posted, print it out and place it in my 50th Birthday Memory Book that my husband and children presented to me recently...thank you!

Right now I am so thrilled for Dra and Jmm.
What a nice family Melodie Elizabeth has chosen! Seven times over now, I believe, for Dra and Jmm as grandparents. How wonderful that Melodie will be in such good hands when her mom and dad need a break. And right now, I want to tell you all that I am just catching up on this thread all the way back to Feb 14--and have finished reading every post since then. Whew, we do a lot of talking here! I smiled and laughed all the way through the friendly back and forth. And I sent silent hugs to those of you going through hard times. And right now, I want to say special thanks to Resortgirl for her last post. I love Maya Angelou, as well. The poem is absolutely wonderful, especially at my age! Simple truths. Bits of sunshine. A beautiful mosaic.
