~2 Charges?~
I ordered some specialty candy that I hadnt had in ages, well years.. from a place call Figis.. I sent my order in.. put in my check..and I got another bill from them said I owe them 3 more dollars..which isnt really a whole big amount..I look at the bill and says S & H twice..both for 2.99.. so I call to find out why two shipping charges ..for what? I get this young man On the phone and ask him.. "why 2 charges for shipping?" he proceeds to tell me that the one shipping charge is for just that..the other charge is for PRINTING out the label..to SEND me my order.. Excuse me? If they need a label to send me what I ordered and charge me 3 dollars for it..I would have sent my own label to them..sure wouldn't have cost me 3 dollars. I sound so cheap..but this is such CRAP! Is there not ONE person or place not out to get the consumer? That's not a lot of money, but figure if say- just 100 orders a day, which im sure Figis does..its pronounced FIGGIES.. add it up..that's a lot of money.. I told him to just send me a refund. I will order from someone else..so they better...Its the principle of it.. they should say Label charge then... I found another place any way and its even cheaper.. :-) I know i dont NEED the candy, but I havent had these in.....well I dont know its been that long. so its time.. :-) Penny didn't show up today...her boyfriends son is getting married and they have asked her to stand up for them.. She said she will be here tomorrow .. well she may come by later today, I gave this electric recliner to her...I want it out.. I never use it.. and I never have enough company at one time to need an extra chair.. I have folding chairs if I need them.. I want my machine set up over there, one or the other of them... I am going to check out my old one in the cabinet..I hope I can use it.. I may be can if I get on a different chair..and get out of this wheelchair, I can just remove the armrest and then be able to get up close enough to be able to use the hang down pedal..well its not a pedal.. but works like one to run the machine...anyway I want to sew again so badly and fix these skirts of mine..and make some quilts for the new baby.. Im very anxious to do that.. If I cant use that one.. I will get my good old faithful one I always use, that I got in the HellHome...its down the basement, and if I can swing getting a file cabinet..I have the table that I used before ..that's what my 3 in 1 is sitting on here next to my desk.. Doing all this switching around is going to be a lot of work but I need to do this and I will ..one way or the other... like they say ,, there is more than ONE way to skin a CAT.. which I never would but..I will figure out something..first things first.. I have to devise a plan of attack! First the chair gone.. THEN the filing cabinet..THEN to get all this messyness cleaned up THEN let the sewing begin.. My sis brought me some quilt tops when she was here that are already printed, but I have some others that are pieced that I think will be really cute.. the material was safe as it was up here in the bathroom in some special storage drawers I kept up here which I am SO glad I did.. if all that had gotten ruined too..Well Ive lost so much of my sewing stuff now that I could never replace what is gone.. If I need anything Im sure my sis would gladly share with me.. Shes very generous.. I told her to keep an eye out for a really pretty RED sweater.. Knowing her she will go to her favorite store Katherines, and find a gorgeous one..and probly on sale too..I think they see her coming and decide to have a sale..My sis has NO will power in that store..they have clothes for large size women that are just beautiful.. expensive..but wonderful..shes gotten me a few things from there plus I get her hand me downs from there too! I always get dibs before anyone else.. My sis loves me :-) I made a new recipe today that I mean smelled so good while it was cooking took all my will power not to go out and eat it right then!.. Its like a chicken catchatorri? however you spell it, my spell checker didn't even know how :-) chicken, onion, tomatoes, spices..all simmered together.. I put in Some potato wedges to be a total complete meal.. Im ready for it, I got up again at 430 why I am I have NO idea...I just wake up..so by 6 at night Im so ready to get out of this chair.. but some good stuff first..then my bed, TV and I wonder who will get shut off first tonite.. I didn't win last nite .. the TV and lamp did.. maybe I need a new clicker.. I do know I need to say "Nitey Nite" Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya.. and thanks :-) Always, Lois **** God Bless you, is my prayer today, I'm so honored to call you "friend"; I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again..... | |||

Hello Lois
Tax's get to me at times, when money get tight I fuss over it.
I never order anything over the phone anymore...
I wonder how much of that snow we will end up with here.
Hoping no one loses there power over it.
I went to a Christmas party at the nursing home for a Friend tonight. I enjoy going there to see the place again.
Some of them recognized me from when my mother was there in 1998&1999...so many love one's have lived and have died in the nursing home from the time till now. I guess that mean's I am old.
Are you getting more snow this weekend too?
Have a great weekend and stay warm my friend.
Mary

Hi, Honey,
First, I'm so glad you've got your funding sorted - that must be SUCH a weight off your mind.
Next, it's great that you will soon be sewing again. You are SO full of ideas for craft things, I'm sure you will soon be making a bit of extra cash.
And last, that chicken dish sounds rather like what they call in Sussex "shackles" Of course, you ought to have some nice herb Dumplings in there, just to give it a bit of body and shrink the chair!!! LOL ;o)
Take care, Honey
