pics and more

Good Morning!!!! The pictures above were taken wednesday when I went over to my daughters. I had tried to call her in the morning and it said her phone was suspended. I go over there, she shows me the check receipt where she had paid the bill of $77.23. We verified through bank (using my cell) that the company (Cavalier) had cashed their check. Emma tried to call the phone company and got no where. They kept asking for money. So the next bill isn't due until after the middle of the month, so she makes a payment of 100.00 over phone thinking if she does she'll get to talk to someone there. Nope it said your payment was approved and hung up on her. Grrrrrrr, it made me mad. I told her give me all the info, and I called them. Well, a total of 94 minutes, yes I said 94 minutes later I finally got to talk to someone. I was on hold that entire 94 minutes. I gave them name, phone number (I pretended I was Emma, lol) they tell me they have no record of a 77.23 payment. I said oh really, well according to my bank, you cashed this check July 30th. Mam, we have no record of it. Well then you better find out where my payment went or if someone in your company stole my money. Lady says, mam we have no record of that. I tell her give me your supervisor, your too stupid and apparently don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. A few seconds later a lady comes on, mam I have looked it over and we have no record of your payment. By this time I am pissed. I told them woman apparently someone in your company is not doing their job and I have no choice but to contact the president of the company and let them know what is going on. She says, mam give me the phone number and I will call it back in a few minutes. She never calls back. But............ A little while later guess what? Emma's phone is back on. I guess threatening to go over their head did the trick. That's something I really hate. You pay a bill and someone says they have no record of it being paid when you have proof it was paid. I know a few people who have Cavalier and they switched back to Verizon. I have Verizon and I will never switch to another phone company. My cellphone is T-mobile and I will never switch them either. I  trust these 2 companies 100%.

In the pics above you will see my grandson. He is wearing his sister's shoes and showing them to the camera, lol. He can be so silly sometimes. He loves to hang out in the kitchen with me. If I am not there, the gate is up so he can't leave livingroom. He hates that gate. Me too, I have a hard time lifting my legs over it, lol. So when I am there, down comes the gate. Emma is bringing the kids to me after lunch. She has an ob/gyn appt at 1:30 today, so I get to babysit the grandkids. I haven't seen them since wednesday.

Before I forget I want to thank Lisa for the beautiful postcard from her trip to Yosemite. I love it girlfriend, thank you so much for thinking of me. And also I watched an episode last night of CSI called "Toe Tags". It was awesome!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed it very much. I am really liking the show.

Yesterday morning I was having such a time with journals. Some I could read and not comment on. Some wouldn't even come up. I finally gave up. This morning all seems to be working well. So beings I couldn't be in JLand yesterday I did some much needed cleaning. I rearranged my livingroom, dusted it, vacuumed it, organized shelves, threw alot of crap out. Jim came home and looked around and said WOW!!!!!!!! Looks great hun. Then I tackled the kitchen. Did a ton of dishes, cleaned stove and counter tops. I still have to polish table and sweep and mop floor. I'll do that after my grandkids go home later today. When they are here I devote all my time to them.


Well, I have a little over an hour before they arrive, so I'd better get off this computer, get dressed, make the beds, do breakfast dishes. Another day in the 90's here today. But as long as the A/C is on, I am ok with it. Got a refrigerator full of ice cold bottled water too, and sugar free popsicles for the kids. Take care everyone and have a wonderful weekend.

 

Love to you all...............................................

  7. Awwww the pics are wonderful and you sound just like I get when this happens regarding bills.All company's need to be given a good shaking up at times.Strange how when we pay them on time or any way,they never seem to have got it.Also  if they owe us anything we have to wait forever for our rebates or refunds Grrrrrrrr .It boils my blood this kind of thing.I am glad you sorted them out.I always tell them I am ringing  the local press and having them slapped on the front page for poor services. LOL!! They soon sit up then.Have a lovely weekend what lovely children Enjoy them they are priceless.Glad to read you got all your work caught up on.Well most of it Haaaa.Sounds very familiar with many in J/Land that LOL. Take Care God Bless Kath

  10. Loved the pictures! The kids are a riot! As for the phone company I don't blame you for being pissed off with them. Every once in a while I have my computer shut down. When I call my wireless company to complain, they end saying they don't know why my bill is paid. Strange enough within minutes after that call things straighten themselves out. (Hugs) Indigo

  11. Hi Cindy so glad you stood your ground and gave the phone company a piece of your mind.  They are always quick to turn things off when its for thier own advantage.  I always ask for the top manager now thats the only thing to shift them. well done for getting a great result. Lovely pictures of the children, they sure do look as if they are having fun. Bye for now Kathie.

  15. Hey Cindy - I thought you were talking about AOL technical support, not the phone company LOL (j/k).  That is terrible and unacceptable!  I'd write and send it certified to the prez and see if you can wrangle a free month or so of service for your daughter's inconvenience!  Enjoy those grands!  Cute pics!

  16. I wish I had you to fight for me sometimes! Your a tough cookie! Just be careful with Verizon. Watch your bill. They are the reason I dont have a land line any longer. Turns out they have a lot if complaints with the BBB.  But, if they are good to you, that's great!
    Cute pics! Rebecca is looking more like you each day! Very cute!
    Have a great weekend.
    Love ya,

  18. Glad you got her phone situation in order sometimes us moms have to kick in there and take charge. T-mobile you can talk to John and Bimbo LoL. Here we call it trash mobile. Guess it works better in certain areas. We all have Cingular/AT&T. LoL he hates the gate too. Ky hates when I say I'm getting the gates out. Wow you got alot done since you we're online. We're having hott days too. Stay cool.
    Take care, Chrissie

  19. Love the photos of your little man and the girls.  How awful about Emma's phone, especially as she is pregnant and may need to contact people urgently.  Glad u got it sorted out.  Hugs, Terry x

  20. I loved all the photos...each one was so adorable.  It is terrible when you have the proof of payment, they cash the check...and then they give you a remark, that they have no record of it.  Hope it all gets resolved soon.  Have a great weekend...hugs and love,
    Joyce

  23. Love the pics.....just too cute.....it sounds like your daughter's phone company leaves alot to be desired...that is sad that customer service has gone to waste...
    There are some companies that allow you to bring your phone number with you if you switch over to them...your daughter may want to look into that...
    take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!!!!!

  26. I have T-Mobile for my cell company as well and would never dream of switching either. That is awful that your daughter had to deal with that but at least mom was there to save her alot of the grief of hanging on for so long to even talk to anyone. I would be sure to send a copy of that check they cashed if nothing else but to prove a point. Hugggs, Robin

  27. Grrr..................I hate when places say they didn't get your pmt.  94 minutes?  Outragious!  I have T-Mobile too - switched from Unicel which was a piece of sh*t.  I would love to have Southern Linc but it only covers AL, MS, GA.  That isn't no good for me.  I need national coverage.  I don't think I'll ever switch from T-Mobile.  It's a 1 yr. contract which I like.  Your grandson is so cute!  Gotta have the A/C!  I can't go without that because of my asthma.
    Hugs,
