Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:07:00 GMT

So I got this ad today in my e-mail. We have a Capital One Online savings account and we like it, but this seems really really stupid.

Blockbuster Changed My Plan

Tue, 01 Jan 2008 17:14:16 GMT

Little bit mad at Blockbuster. It appears they have changed their plans and instead of grandfathering in their existing customers into their old plans they've changed their existing customer plans too. So now I'm paying more money for less features. Lets see who does that work out for??? OHHH yea thats better for them!

Old Plan
$14.99 a month
3 movies at a time
unlimited in store exchanges
2 free movie rental coupons a month

New Plan
$19.99 a month
3 movies at a time
5 in store exchanges
2 free moive coupons a month

Still a good deal compared to what it would cost to rent movies from the store. But I would have like to have been reward for being a long time customer. Especially when all my friends have Netflix.

Ohh and they still have my old plan, but it's up to $34.99 a month!!!! Are you kidding me??!!

Anyone have any referral deals from Netflix?? I'm thinking about switching!

Good Day!

Rode My Bike Today!

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 19:48:38 GMT

Rode my bike today for the first time in a long time. I need a tune up bad!!! Is it bad that I can't get it out gear???

My route took me around my local hospital, across Lake Ray Hubbard, to the bank and back to the house. Click on the map below to check out my route, all 5.69 miles of it! I tell you, that bridge is a lot shorter at 70mph!!

And another thing... it's a lot colder out there today than it looks!

Bad Night

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 14:29:41 GMT

We had another scary night last night. Earlier this week Kaylie girl (5 yrs) was diagnosed with phenomena. While she is seems to be getting over it now, still has a deep cough, she seems to have shared the bug with Reese (2 yrs).

Yesterday we noticed that Reese had a running nose with an occasional cough. Around 11:20 Reese woke up cough and choking on mucus. When Michelle ran to the room she found Reese struggling to breath, wheezing and taking quick short breaths. After some debate Michelle took Reese to the ER. It turns out she has has bronchitis , the croup and an ear infection. Apparently the bronchitis had swollen her esophagus, oxygen level was really low and she had all sorts of stuff in her lungs. So they gave her a steroid shot to open things up and a couple of breathing treatments to help the gunk in her lungs. They sent her Michelle and Reese home with a prescription for her bronchitis and ear infection.

It's strange, as we have the last couple of times, we debated about going to the hospital. This time however (for me at least) it wasn't about money or our insurance. This time it was about our previous ER experiences. Long waits, wrong diagnoses and even being allowed to roll off the examination table were just a few of our past experiences with ERs and Reese. And these experiences happened at so called "children" hospitals. With that in mind Michelle took Reese to our neighborhood hospital (Lake Pointe Medical Center) and it turned out to be a great experience. Reese was admitted, diagnosed and released withing 2 hours! Simply amazing! We would had been lucky to even see a doctor in that time at the other hospitals. We had heard such bad things about Lake Pointe and kids we never considered going there until last night. Now I'm glad we did. No more drives downtown to the big hospitals, two blocks away is good for us! Anyway I guess I'm ranting now.

Good Day!

Have you ever?

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 12:46:48 GMT

Have you ever had a Kirby salesman stop by your house and demo their product? That is one sweet vacuum. We were totally sold until they showed us the price. Who would honestly pay $2,495, PLUS tax for a vacuum?

Oh well, nice clean hallway out of the deal, vacuumed and shampooed.

Good Day,

Engine and Transmission Systems - check
Emissions System - check
Air Bag System - check
Antilocking Break System - check
OnStar System - check
Oil Life - 84 percent!
Tire Pressure - good all around...

Thanks for the e-mail GM!! Now if I could only use Cingular/AT&T instead of Verizon as the car's "phone"
