We've had a $3k deposit down with a heating and cooling company to fix our heat for over 3 months. Today was the day we were in the schedule and the guy never showed. The heat in our kids rooms hasn't worked in months and now the heat is barely working at all. We've called a few other companies but they are so booked up they won't even look at it. It's 62Ā° in here during the day and much colder at night because the furnace needs to be restarted every 1-2 hours and we need sleep. We leave for Florida on the 1st and if this isn't fixed our house will freeze up. I need to learn how to weld. Lol

As you can probably tell I donāt put up with crap from anyone. Also are you members of Costco bc cotte Johnson has a contract with them where they have to come within a week.

I normally wouldn't put up with this either, but I feel like I'm trapped. If he just gives us a refund, then I have to find someone else. I've called all over and can't get anyone to come out. We've had 3 people in the past look at the system and ghost us instead of giving us a quote. Unfortunately we don't have a Costco near us.

I got my derm biopsy back and it was not cancer! It was keratosis which can show up/get worse around pregnancy. Iām not pregnant but I guess maybe breast feeding may have something to do with it too.

mrscheese, I just saw news that there was a shooting in downtown Seattle. Are you and yours all okay? Iām ok, not sure if anyone I know was impacted. There has been 3 shootings in downtown Seattle in the last 48 hours. They all were about 1 mile from my office. Scary. Thanks for checking on me š

One of the people shot was a 9 year old boy. Heās in critical condition. 6 people shot, 1 dead. My goodness. This is all so horrible. Apparently it was an argument between two people in front of a McDās.

My sisters kid still canāt say his Rs and says Ws where the r should be. Wobert instead of Robert. Heās 6. Iāve pointed it out. She hasnāt fixed it. He also canāt do blends. I thought once he got in school the school would surely pull him out to work on speech but that doesnāt seem to be happening. I mean my kid still wouldnāt have his diagnosis if we hadnāt been the ones to say yes, there could be something else going on here, and take the time to figure that out. Weāve had at least 20 doctorās appointments for one child since October. Hours of driving and missing work and school and waiting, therapy for an hour every week etc... The parenting classes for adhd are 8 weeks of 90 minute classes we will have to attend. I canāt imagine a parent who is otherwise occupied with hard things being able to do whatās required to get help. Itās easier to just think the problem will outgrow itself than to take the time to fix it. Iām sure they know the problem is there. Itās up to them to decide to fix it. Guilty! DD has the same issues with R, itās bad in English and even worse with French. She āgraduatedā from speech therapy last summer, and when I asked the therapist about several sounds she still was saying wrong, she told me it was all age appropriate and would have to be re-evaluated in kindergarten. I asked her K teacher about It this year and she said that Rs arenāt acquired until after 6yo, so she doesnāt qualify for speech therapy at school yet. We could go to private speech therapy but Iāve been lazy and havenāt set it up, I keep hoping it will fix itself. Probably not the best strategy. You know thereās a problem and you asked about fixing it. Totally different than pretending a problem doesnāt exist and hoping it will go away.

My kid goes for an EKG Friday so he can start one of the meds for his adhd. Itās basically a beta blocker/ high blood pressure med thatās supposed to help with the aggression/ anger piece. Then weāll add the adderall/ Ritalin piece in another month once we see if this med works.

Both had active warrants and between them have been arrested over 60 times with 35 convictions. Known gang members and are considered armed and dangerous. Fantastic. Guess I wonāt be going out for lunch or a walk at work today.

A longtime family friend we grew up with, 10 year old daughter is battling cancer right now. When she shaved her head she told her mom all she wanted was to meet The Rock and shine her head with him. Through social media her story got picked up, then was on a local news channel then went to Entertainment tonight. The Rock just reached out and made her a personal video and said he wants to plan a meet upā¤so cool.

There are soooo many stories about him doing these kinds of things. This is my favorite one. www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/a29365153/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-100-year-old-happy-birthday/

Hi everyone! Iām just checking in. Life has been busy chasing around all three. I was sick this week but I am finally feeling better. We got our new washer yesterday! We had our old one serviced because of the loud noise it was making and learned the transmission was going out. We get a new garage door on Tuesday because the springs broke and it came slamming down and the glass broke in the pane, now it wonāt open. (So Iām broke basically) I parked my car in the cul de sac yesterday and went to bring it up the hill in the driveway and warm it up this morning. I fell (did not get hurt at all) down the hill and was covered in mud since it was so wet from all the rain we keep getting Ds1 saw WWE (on tv)for the first time yesterday and thOught it was awesome - I think it sucks. Also he is really into watching American Ninja Warrior and wants to go to a Ninja gym for kids. Ds2 got his cast off this past Tuesday yay!! Ds1 has to dress up for 100th day of school as a 100 year old person tomorrow. I think thatās about all in the last few weeks. Iāve been reading but it has been hard to comment when Iām so far behind and the subject has changed.

activebaby, DD1 has her 100th day on Friday (well really 99th because of an unexpected day off last week, but that's still when they are doing the party). We have to make a "float" with 100 things in it and a 100th day tshirt. We're doing little jewels for the shirt and she is thinking of making something out of legos to go on the float, but she wanted it really decorated and has already begged me to make 100 stars on the float too. I understand the importance of them learning to count to 100, but please can I just have 1 project at a time?
