Well my doctor has been on vacation and the jerk that is filling in for him won’t give me anything to make this sinus infection go away. There are notes in my file that say that I should be given antibiotics when I get sick, but he is refusing to honor the note. When my regular doctor returns from vacation I am going to have to ask him to give me antibiotics to have on hand for when I get sick and he can’t be reached. This is awful!
Well the weather is going crazy around here, cold mornings and warm afternoons. The perfect season for catching colds, and yes, I’ve caught one myself! And it’s a real doozy of a cold! Whenever I catch a cold it immediately goes into a sinus infection and I’m miserable for several weeks. I’ve got to try to get hold of my doctor and try to convince him to put me on antibiotics to shorten the misery, but my doctor is often reluctant to do that right away. Wish me luck! I’m pretty miserable!
I was reading an article on Businessweek’s website that was talking about how a lot of the big “snob” companies like Sak’s Fifth avenue is opening more outlet stores, in the hopes that they will attract more customers to the outlet store’s lower prices. The article confused me a little bit because I had read many years ago that “outlet stores” were not necessarily a “discount store” and that when people shop at outlet stores looking for a “bargain” they usually are not really getting a “bargain.” What they are often getting are closeouts, over-runs, or factory seconds.
After I had learned that “outlet stores” were really not “discount” stores I pretty much avoided them. So now I’m wondering if “outlet” stores are changing their strategy and really ARE offering bargains now!
I was shocked to receive a phone call last night that the hubby of a very dear friend passed away unexpectedly in his sleep two days ago. He was only fifty three years old, and he left behind a wife and several daughters; one being only the tender age of twelve years of age. This man had no life insurance or death benefits of any kind and was the family breadwinner. Chances are that the family will lose their house in a few months because they do not have the resources to hold on to that.
This is a very sad situation and I would like to strongly encourage anyone out there that is reading this that they should buy enough life insurance to at least pay off their house should they die.
