Got a big RANT today...My mother, who basically has nothing anyway, had an emergency stay at the hospital a few months ago. Turns out she is a Type 1 diabetic and didn't know until she got bery ill. She was in between insurances with a change of jobs. The hospital bill has now put her in bankruptcy. This should NOT freakin happen. Where is my one way ticket out of this country? I'm very upset.
RANT: Little Miss Riley slept through the night last night...from 6 pm to 6 am. Excellent! |
Greetings from the Garden State!
Rave: Beautiful weekend for digging in the dirt! My garden project is making great progress! Rant: My back is still aching from last weekend's digging in the dirt! Rave: My DH fixed the brakes on our '67 P1800 and we're taking it out cruisin this weekend too! Happy Anniversary Statia! |
Rave, I'm on the mend and we have tickets for the French Film Festival starting next week.
rant, slugs hand squirrels have ravished my little garden. |
Rave: On vaca in K-port, Maine.
Rant: It's raining for the second day in a row, and the third day this week! Rave: Trying a new restaurant tonight! |
Ani, hate that for your mom.
I've never ever gone without insurance for those exact reasons. I know it is too late now but you can buy an interum insurance policy that only provides Major Medical. The last time I purchased one it was $99 for 90 days and could be renewed up to 5 times. Deductable was around $2500. |
|
Ani, how awful for your mother. I hope everything turns out ok.
Thanks for the well wishes sam, sunbabe and tpatricco! Another Rave: My husband just called and told me to take Monday off because he's taking us all to the island of Saba for the day! Three day weekend PLUS a day trip with the family....woo hoo! |
Rant: Ani, sometimes I'm right where you are! Ready to buy a ticket, pack my bag, and get the h-e-double hockey sticks out of this crazy country! But, every country has it's foibles, I guess. So sorry about your mom. I've always felt that it's easier to go through hard times myself than watch someone I love go through them.
Rave: It's the weekend! A weekend full of fun bbq's and family!! Rave: Home projects are over for the moment & the bank account is beginning to go in the right direction for once! Probably won't last long, but I'll enjoy it while it is! Happy anniversary Statia! Congrats! |
Didn't read through before.
Kal, I hope before the day is over your head cold is gone. emd, I'm an Annie fan too, Scarlett, Bon Voyage week-end Ani, so sorry. I know how you feel my father was in that boat. Sam, there will be other trips, get well soon. Statia Happy Anniversary, you two love birds. And to the rest of the members of the Rant and Rave Club, stay healthy and have a good week-end. |
RAve: it's Friday
Rant: There is noone in the office today, so I get to cover. Rave: Saw Spidey 2 last weekend - it was great! |

Hi all,
Rant: My cat needed eye surgery this week, and it cost me $800! Rave: He is recovering nicely and will be back to his old self soon! emd - I am from DC too - I have some friends going to that concert tonight too. I am going to Battle of the Big Bands at the Barton Amphitheatre tonight, instead (that's a Rave!). Karen |
Rant: sam, so sorry to hear about the missed trip with your son, I can relate. Mom and I were supposed to go to New York in May, but in April during her trip to Italy, she developed a very bad blood clot in her leg. She was kept in an Italian hospital for a month, not able to fly home. You can imagine what this was like, she does not speak a word of Italian.
Rave: She is home safely and on the mend (blood tests weekly now). Good Luck to you and your son! |
Kaudrey, I feel your $$$ pain (been there, spent that, too, on my cat)I hope your cat's surgery went well--they're worth it, bless their fuzzy little hearts((1))
Sam, sorry to read about your trip :-( Rant: Wish I lived next door to Budman! :-D Rave: Nephew arrives tomorrow for a week long visit :-) Enjoy a nice weekend, everyone! |
hearts((1)) should read.... hearts ((1))

Rave: I'm in Victoria, BC and I still have a week left of my vacation!
Rant: It rained a bit today... Rave: ...but the sun is out now! Have a great weekend, everybody. |
Hi, you don't know me but I am going to spend my first whole weekend at my new home in Palm Desert in California. It is as hot as Hades here, was this a good idea?
|
Rave: Happy anniversary, Statia. Rave: Statia's DH is taking us all to Saba! Confused: Budman bottling wine? Figured Budman was a BEER fan, distributor, ... ? Maybe he is a florist? |
Hello to all!
Rave: Two of my girlfriends and are I going on a long-anticipated shopping expedition tomorrow. What fun! Rant: Repairs are being done outside my home. The noise is driving my dog crazy, and he in turn is driving me crazy. |
