I just want to gripe a little about doctors offices that promise “same day sick visits” when you call. I called this morning to get an appointment for my daughter and was told to come in at 9:15. I got there at 9:15 on the dot and wasn’t called back until 10:40!!  Although I was thankful that they did see her on the same day, I had wait for what I think was a very unreasonable amount of time considering I could have walked into the urgent care side and been seen much faster. Why would you overbook appointments like that and leave sick children waiting for hours? If you can’t see them in a timely matter, don’t make the dang appointments!  I guess it’s all about the money, that’s really sad to me.

Back To School “Help”

Folks, it’s getting to be that time of year again.  The kids are going back to school.  The tax-free-weekends have already started.  The big companies are eager for your business.  Including the scavengers.

I was going through the “snail mail” a couple of days ago and had a letter that offered BACK TO SCHOOL help.  GREAT, I thought, hoping to find some useful coupons or can’t pass up deals on things we really need.  Things that might be on the Supply Lists the teachers print up for us.

I was aggravated when I saw it was for a loan from a “loan company and tax service”.  That’s not even a bank!

Now, I wonder, how did this company get my name and address.

Who is selling this information without my consent?  Because I’ve never done business with these people before!

Shouldn’t they AT LEAST have to pay you a finder’s fee for using your information?
