I've been sick for a while. just in the hospital for a while. Two heart attacks in all. Thank God I am feeling better...chat later..luv u z

Payment Due....

Hey guys, I am sorry I have been away for a while.
         With Thanksgiving out of the way, I want to coast through Christmas then New Years. I had a wonderful time of fellowship with my friends. I did not eat too much, did not drink too much {don't really drink}.  I did spend wayyy tooo much!
        So now I come out in the daytime, do my errands that is necessary and get indoors before night fall.
          There is something about nightfall this time of year that means to go SHOPPING!!!
The lights in the malls, on the outside of buildings, in the windows are magical!! They make you shop...It's their fault I'm in debt...{just a little}...I wanted had to have the television with the Netmovie app!
I slept on the sofa for two days of course....
Now the "new" wore off.....and I have nothing to say about the bill, except it is due...
No more Peppermint Mochas for a while.....
                Until next time, I may be watching you watch me.....Renee

"Leave Me Alone"

Leaves Leaves Leaves....I enjoy the Autum season as anyone else, but the leaves.. gesh..
My neighborhood is beautiful in the beginning of autum, with the changing of the color of the leaves.  I enjoy Halloween, Thanksgiving; pretty much all of the holidays this time of the year...Now the leaves have all hit the ground, trees naked, and my lawn has a new "covering"..{LEAVES!!]. I have leaves at the front door. I have leaves in my livingroom, in the bedroom, one or two in the bathroom. On the floor of the car, front and back seats! Pop the "hood",leaves are trapped on the windshield wipers...One day I was getting ready for bed, undressing, I found a leaf in my bra....enough.

Who in the world is getting them up this year?

 One year my granddaughter and I tried, between the yelling and 19 bags of leaves, we did a far job.
Another year I tried to pay the young neighborhood chaps, when they would knock on my door and ask, "Miss can I rake your leaves?"....they would just pile the leaves around the base of the trees and say "see it's decoration"..I payed them anyway.
Last year I met a lawn/landscaper vacuuming leaves on to the back of a truck! WHAT!!!EUREKA...Once again I will enjoy the rest of this season because I made{hired} a new friend...

Coupons..

What "they" having a sale! Where's my coupon folder/case/valise...Yes I "do" coupons.

Coupons of all types. I  have coupons from the neighborhood grocery stores{buy two-get three free}. I have coupons from the crafts stores. I have coupons from the big office supply stores!.."Spend $100.00 and get $25.00 off. Mix-n-match make-up coupons. 

"Monty-Finger" BIG HOLIDAY BOOK!; buy now, pay later...Don't forget the "Swiss-Cheese/Summer Sausage" book! Fruit cake! {really}, all 20% for the holidays...

The Value-PAQ AND the coupons that come in the mail box when you don't have any money...

"Para hablar espanol make uno."I see your calling from 123-456-7890. Is that the number listed on your account? Okay, in a few words, please describe the reason for your call...I'm not understanding...Can you say it another way?...Ok, You can say things like, I'd like to pay bill, or technical support....I'm sorry, I'm having difficulty understanding...Hold on, let me get someone who can help"....


This insanity goes on for about 5 or 6 minutes every time I call some call center who do not have any employees here in the United States!  I have not problem with the actual operators,,{sometimes I don't understand a word!}, I would like to just talk to someone in the first few minutes of my call.  They try to make the "system" have a personality. The automated system cannot ever understand a New York accent and I will never converse with an answering machine!
I just keep pounding 0 until I get a live operator, then try as I might to understand their "dropped l's, w's......Give me strength....(:-/

More Paperwork

Sooo...BANK OF AMERICA is doing a little back stroking..It has started "dumping" mortgages this past week. With the looming lawsuit at hand, THEY are cutting their losses and running...
My mortgage has been with this Bank since 2007 with the ADVANTAGE accounts. I did not have to pay for checking, etc. as long as I kept a $15,000.00 debt with this bank...

Now, they want to charge me for everything.. Well I think I found a way out without doing all of the paperwork to change banks. (did I mention, I hate change?). Switch your checking account to a MY ACCESS account and as long as you have a direct deposit of atleast $200.00 per month, there is no fees.
Bof A has also decided not to make people pay to spend their own money! WOO HOOO

Those Bastidz....
