complaint

Aimey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:40:54 +0000

One thing that really makes me angry is when stores around here don’t have laser scanners to scan our ID’s. Not everyone has a license. My cousin for example is legally blind. She will never be able to have her license. Most of the stores around here won’t accept her ID even though it can be scanned to prove it’s real. I blame cheapness. If you are too cheap to have equipment to help serve your customers then your store isn’t going to do very well. How hard can it be to buy a scanner like the Symbol LS2208? They make everything easier.

Dangers

Aimey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:35:17 +0000

Most of the men in my family work in some kind of construction. Iron workers, Tin knockers, digging and demolition. It’s more dangerous than most people think. I’m always hearing stories of people falling off buildings on the job and dying, or being crushed by machines. It can’t be easy work especially in the cold winters we have here in Massachusetts.

We also have a lot of old buildings. Ripping them down to build new ones isn’t without danger either. Most old buildings have asbestos which if inhaled causes cancers such as Mesothelioma. Everyone who does that kind of work around here needs to look out for that.

natural

With the rising price of medications so many people are turning to natural cures for their health issues. Vitamins and herbs can help cure symptoms of so many different things. St Johns Wort can even be used to help depression, anxiety, and menopause symptoms. There’s even natural testosterone. Vitamin deficiencies can cause a whole lot of medical issues from physical to mental.

A lot of people think if they eat healthy they get enough vitamins but that simply isn’t true. You;d have to eat 100 bananas for the potassium you get from a vitamin. Everyone should take at least a multi vitamin every day if it doesn’t react badly with any other medications they take.

hot!!!

Aimey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:23:12 +0000

It’s so hot today!!!! We have a ridiculous heat wave going on here on the east coast. It’s so hot and humid it’s near impossible to breathe. I spent most of the day at the pool with my son and my cousin. The water was a life saver. It was 105 degrees. It was so hot that as soon as we got out of the pool the sun dried us off.

Weight

Aimey — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:19:30 +0000

I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past six months. Probably about 30 pounds or so. Sadly I still have a ways to go before I’m happy with my body. The more I lose the more it slows down. I was reading nuphedragen reviews and it seems this diet pill may actually be worth trying. If it doesn’t affect my anxiety it should be worth giving a shot.

I’ve never been able to take diet pills because of my anxiety disorders. It would be nice to find one that didn’t cause nervousness.

Thinking..

I have really bad anxiety. So bad in fact it messes up my entire life. For a while I was thinking about trying to get disability because I couldn’t even leave my house without panic attacks. But disability and social security disability insurance can be so hard to get I didn’t even bother. Instead I’ve been trying different medications for years. Finally last month my Doctor put me on two that seem to be working. So far I’ve gotten a lot better. I think I’ll even be able to work a normal job again!

Driving!!

Aimey — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 01:31:52 +0000

After all these years I’m finally trying to get my drivers license. I have a road test on the 7th. For the past three weeks I’ve been practicing driving constantly in my Grandmothers station Wagon. I really hate driving that car. In Massachusetts you have to parallel park to pass the test and it’s really hard to maneuver a Station Wagon. Today I went driving with a driving instructor from the local driving school for an evaluation. It was much easier to parallel park in that car so I’m glad I’ll be using one like it from the school for the driving test. He said I’m doing fine and he thinks I’ll pass. I really hope he’s right.

If I do pass I’m going to have to get a car and insurance so I’ve been looking around at prices from car insurance companies. I’m still not even sure what kind of car I want. I need something easy to drive but also safe for me and my son. I wanted a Volkswagen beetle but they don’t hold up well in side collisions. I guess I’ll just look around on Craigslist and see if I find anything cheap that’s also safe.

True Blood

Aimey — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 01:26:10 +0000

I can’t wait for True Blood tomorrow. This new season is absolutely amazing! It’s hard to wait a whole week for the new episodes. I love how they made the werewolves look like wolves instead of worg men. It’s realistic fitting in with the shape shifter stuff they already had going in the other seasons.

I’ve never liked Bill but every season I like him less and less. Sookie would be so much better with Eric! Eric is amazingly hot. He’s funny too. Bill has no personality at all and he’s way too controlling.

I wonder what will happen with Bills maker tomorrow?

Smart..

My aunt has a friend who’s really rich. She said for the past year he’s been buying a ton of gold. She couldn’t figure out why since gold was at the highest price it’s ever really been. You’d think it would have nowhere to go but down. It turns out he was a genius because a month ago the price of gold went up more. So all that gold is worth way more than he bought it for. He probably made tens of thousands of dollars on it. I wonder if the same thing could be done buying wholesale diamonds?

People make money in the easiest of ways.

Update

Aimey — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:14:12 +0000

My uncle is here visiting from North Carolina! It’s nice to see him. He only visits about once a year since he moved. My son is really happy because my cousins came too. They’re with their Mom for a few days though. Ryan won’t get to see them until Wednesday.

I’ve been busy as hell since Ryan got out of school. There’s still so much to be done here at the new house. My uncle seems to be drinking more than he’s working lately. I just want him to hurry and finish the pantry so we won’t have food on the counter and table. I can’t stand everything being cluttered.

Argh!!!

I spent way too much money on clothes this week! I recently lost a lot of weight so I can’t fit into my clothes from last summer.. yet I’m still too fat to fit into my old size 11’s. There was no way I was watching kids all summer outside by the pool and in my yard without shorts, tanks and a bathing suit. So I asked my friend if she knew anywhere I could find plus sizes on the smaller end to buy some summer clothes. I can’t fit into Lane Bryant clothes because although I’m fat I’m not completely huge. Also I’m only 5″1 so everything there is way too long and all the shoulders are too big and the backside sags cause I don’t have a big behind. She ended up recommending an awesome store with a million clothes I LOVED so I charged like 200$ on my credit card and bought myself about 5 shirts, 5 pairs of panties, 3 pairs of shorts and a bathing suit and a bra. I did buy most on clearance, and honestly these were the best buy. Usually I buy my clothes at the junior plus sizes in Debs and although they’re cheap they don’t last long at all. These clothes are well made and will last a long time. And cute too!!!

Gold

Aimey — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:51:13 +0000

I have a LOT of gold jewelry. Probably thousands worth. My mother loves it so ever since I was a kid she would buy me rings or necklaces or bracelets for birthdays and Christmas. Mostly sapphire since it’s my birthstone, but I have a lot of diamonds too. I also have a lot of gold I bought myself over the years. Now that I’m broke and have to pay off my credit cards I’m wondering if I should just sell it all to one of those places that melt it down into bullion. A lot of them pay pretty well for the gold and silver if it’s good quality. And I know mine is.

I don’t think I could ever bring myself to sell the things my Mother bought me purely because I’m extremely sentimental. But I have no problem selling the jewelry I bought myself!

Road Test

Aimey — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 22:35:25 +0000

It’s embarrassing to admit that after all these years I still never got my license. Today I finally scheduled a road test. Tomorrow I’m going to practice parallel parking so I won’t show up and fail like a moron. That’s the one reason I was always afraid to take the test. My Dad taught me how to drive when I was 10 but parallel parking has always been hard for me. I’ve watched some videos online that make it look so easy. But when I’m driving it just ISN’T for some reason! Maybe tomorrow I’ll get used to it.

I can’t keep going on without a license. It’s too hard to get to work and crap. Especially now that I’m a single Mother. Not having one has made things difficult ever since Chris moved to California.

Eww

Aimey — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:07:22 +0000

So lately I’ve gotten these tiny little bumps on my arms. I couldn’t figure out what they were or why I was getting them. I shower or take a bath daily and I wash my bed sheets every week. I haven’t changed to any kind of new soap or anything so it really didn’t make much sense at all. I thought it was some kind of strange acne. So i asked my doctor about treatment for adult acne. Turns out it was a type of eczema. I’ve always really had dry skin. She told me to keep moisturizing it and they’ll eventually go away. I probably made it worse since I kept scrubbing it in the shower thinking it was some type of clogged pores.

I really dislike having such dry skin. I have to use so much moisturizer every single day. It’s expensive! Usually I use Avon’s since it seems to work the best. I just hope it works on this.

Again

Aimey — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:01:36 +0000

I just got home from the doctors with my son. He has strep throat AGAIN. His tonsils are even more huge than they have been too. I got a referral for ear nose and throat. Hopefully he can get his tonsils removed this summer so he won’t miss so much school next year. I feel really bad for him. He has a fever, headache, and is throwing up and everything. The nurse sent him home from school really early. He must have gotten sick as soon as he got there because he was pretty much fine before he left.

I hope he’s better by Friday. Friday is his last day of school before summer vacation. If he isn’t I’ll go up and pick up his report card and everything.

wrinkles

Aimey — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:38:16 +0000

When I used to be an Avon representative the most requested products were always anti aging and wrinkle creams. It seems women are scared to death of wrinkles more than anything. It makes sense. In our society as men get older they are considered more attractive and distinguished. As women get older we are seen as used up and ugly. It’s a horrible double standard but it does exist. I’m only 25 so I don’t use any wrinkle creams myself, even though people constantly tell me that I should for preemptive measures. If I do start using wrinkle products I’m going to try prototype 37c. It seems to be the best. Everyones raving about it. Especially since Avon’s is all so confusing. They have so many different wrinkle products I wouldnt even know where to begin.

Thinking

Aimey — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:50:43 +0000

We have a huge basement in the new house. I kind of want to turn one side into a home theatre. It would be fun. Plus the basement is huge. There’s definitely enough room. I’ve been looking around at prices and since we already have the huge TV everything else would be pretty cheap. Even the home theater seating. Building a wall and carpeting would take no time at all. Plus imagine the fun my son and his friends would have down there?

busy!

Aimey — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:46:07 +0000

Ryan has a heritage project due tomorrow that I totally forgot about. I forgot to get poster board and index cards at the store too. Now I have to run up there and grab them at the last minute. He decided to do Scotland so he could write about Braveheart. They’re allowed to pick any country as long as they have heritage there. Originally he was going to do Ireland but there’s two kids in his class who actually moved there from Ireland so he figured they’d both be doing it already.

I need to get some hair dye while I’m out. My hair is all fading.

I quit

Aimey — Fri, 28 May 2010 21:21:33 +0000

I decided that if I want my dieting and working out to matter at all that I need to quit drinking. Alcohol is just far too many calories to work into any diet. I’ve also been drinking to much anyway. It just isn’t healthy, and working out with a hangover isn’t any fun. Stopping drinking is probably my biggest key to quick weight loss. I don’t eat a lot. I don’t even eat junk food. So all of these bad calories are most likely coming from beer and coffee. I drink coffee every morning with milk and sugar. I should probably start using fake sugar for that too.

Still Waiting

Aimey — Wed, 26 May 2010 23:18:06 +0000

As I said before my dresser came broken. It ended up being worse than I thought. The top corner is crushed (they said they would replace the top ) but when I opened it all the way there’s also a huge gash in the front that even ripped off the paint. If they don’t fix that too I’m going to be mad.

I’ve been waiting almost 3 WEEKS for them to come replace it. I can’t put my mirror on the back of it until they do.. Speaking of mirrors I forgot to get my dad a convex mirror. I’ll have to remember to tomorrow.

My other dresser came with the bottom drawer broken. I’m still waiting for that to be replaced too..
