hello deny i wish you a very happy new year for you and your family.
you know the story of my husband already that became blind and is mentally ill.
i feel very sorry for my husband because his family
really dont care for him.the only family he has is me and my family.
3 days ago he received in the mail a box with his name and inside was envelopes and writting paper for
a blind man.the problem was from his family.
my sister in law had call me days ago to ask me the size of pants of my husband and he was waiting for his gift.
the gift was paper and envelopes in his name for a blind person that each day is more blind and cannot
see faces anymore and cannot write checks anymore.
the gift was in a macy"s box and a box inside very
wrapped with tape and my husband was telling maybe is bomb!
inside was a bomb for him that put his hand inside
the box and found envelpes and writting papers to him.
i call my brother in law and i leave 2 messages in his machine.i told him and her how they can send writting paper and envelope for a blind person?i
told them he had tears in his eyes.i dont believe his brother did it with him.
yesterday my brother in law call me and he said:tania
the gift was for you.i told him was only in my husband's name and he told me the gift was for me!!my brother in law told me he had send some clothes for him in the mail and i told him my husband told me that was not his brother that send this box for him .
i think was my sister in law send this box because she put only his name in the box and the mail man saw the box in the name of my husband and he is my witness.
my mother,my daughter are very angry .my mother is so angry with the bad joke that she is really mad with it.
i think my sister in law send it because she hate him
and she didnt like to give any gift to him and my brother in law told her to call me to get his size of
pants.i dont believe my brother in law can do a thing
like this with his blind mentally ill brother.

Tania,

I'm so sorry sweetie. It makes me very angry that someone would intentionally hurt your husband this way..And in the process hurt you too. Please pay no attention to small people who have to hurt others to make themselves feel good.

I hope that 2007 is a great year for you.

Tania, I agree that was a dirty trick. I'm sorry that your husband got his feelings hurt.

If there is anything you need, just let us know, ok?

Tania, that is just awful how your husband's family treats him. Thank God he has you and your supportive family to be there for him. If I was him, I would just stop all contact with his family until they can start acting like family. I hope you, your husband and the rest of your family have a wonderful new year.

My story begins when I rented a townhouse from an owner/lawyer who did not care about his property, only his money. I won't go into detail as I have written it all on a previous thread; but basically, I moved out due to deplorable living conditions, tried to make payment arrangements, he underhandedly got a judgment against me as well as an order for garnishment of my wages of 25% per paycheck. I previously had taken out four internet payday loans in an attempt to "stay afloat." Also, I work at a medical transcription company, and we are paid by how many lines we type. The end of the year is always slow for us, this year being no exception. We are now almost finished with the garnishment (it started the end of September and will be finished the beginning of February). I was able to take care of my internet loans with the advice from people here. No matter how desperate my situation seems, I have not once considered taking out another PDL. Instead, I have juggled bills, do my grocery shopping at Aldi's (which for those of you not familiar with them is a grocery store where you can buy groceries at 50% to 75% of what you would pay at a regular grocery store), walking rather than using the car more often and basically just watching what we spend. I am confident that once the garnishment is up, I will be able to save money, just from the adjustments we have had to make.

Tania--You're part of our family here at the forum, so come here to vent at us anytime. Smile

There will come a day when his family will need something, and when they get backs turned on them, they will understand.

Dbaker--Aldi is awesome! I shop there a lot. My Chris has a Christian rock band, and a lot of times we will have 3-4 other bands come into town to play with him, and we normally have to feed them. I can feed the 15-20 people under $50.

I also buy that bagged salad there..It costs like 89 cents, and at Kroger it's usually $2-$3.

I also have been doing a lot at Giant Eagle stores to get the Fuelperks points. I've accumulated 70 cents off each gallon of gas so far. Every $50 you spend, you get 10 cents off gas.

Jessi, I know. One time when I went shopping, I just didn't want to take the extra time it would have taken to drive to Aldi's, so I went to Tops. I bought everything I usually do at Aldi's except the meat. I didn't buy any meat this time. When I got in line, I thought okay, it should even out because I didn't buy any meat. Do you know even without the meat, I spent almost twice what I usually spend at Aldi's? From now on, I make the time to go to Aldi's or I don't go shopping until I can go there. My sister said you can save a lot on gas by shopping at Giant Eagle, too. I'm also going to check out the list of generic prescriptions you can get for $4.

Antibiotics are FREE...Like amoxicillin. When I went to pick up Chris's prescript. it was free...I was like GAHHH! Because I paid for mine at Kroger.

You're KIDDING!! Wow. I definitely have to check into that. My kids are always on antibiotics during the winter for one thing or another.

Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 11:51 pm Subject:

If you go to their website it has the list of free prescripts and the $4 prescripts.

Of course, my Wellbutrin is not on the list. Sad

I should bring my Dr. the list and say, "Put me on something on THIS LIST!" LOL

Lol - that's not a bad idea. Before our company offered insurance for us work-at-homers, my pediatrician wrote a prescription for Keflex for my son. There was no way I could pay the price they wanted; so I called the pediatrician, and he did change it to something generic. It's worth a try.

Here's some facts about Aldi that might surprise you:

German company.

They carry $0 debt. All their stores are built and paid for with cash, so they open making money on the very first sale without having to pay off loans.

Most of their products are made by major manufacturers. For example, did you know the Aldi's pies are made by Baker's Square? They are. Get their chocolate pie and try it side to side with a French Silk. Identical, cuz they came from the same plant.

Boy, most American companies could learn something from Aldi. Great way to do business.

Meijer's has started the free prescriptions for common antibiotics for kids under 15 here in Michigan (I think that's the age limit, anyway), and Wal Mart has the $4 prescriptions. I think that's a great deal - wish it had been around when my youngest was a baby - we sometimes had to borrow money in addition to our paychecks to buy his prescrips.
