Amazing Deal on a Desktop Tower
About a month or so ago, my computer decided to give it and die on me! It was working fine when I went off to bed, but would not come on when I woke up in the morning! It was awful, I have grown quite attached to my PC.
I asked my mom to borrow her laptop for a few days until I could get something else, but just didn't realize it would take so long to do so. I got shorted hours at work and then didn't get a paycheck at all, but hopefully that is all fixed and everything will be back in order today!! ((Hopefully))
I've been looking all over for a great deal on one, something preferably that I didn't have to come out of pocket all at once for... QVC had some awesome deals that allowed for 5 payments and a few other places as well; but I got a better deal than I ever thought possible!!!
I was looking on the Walmart website (http://www.walmart.com/) over the weekend at some personalized gift ideas for Christmas (I like those kids of gifts), and decided to search their towers. I have a HUGE monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers; I just needed a new tower to run things.
They had so great prices on their laptops, but I really like my Desktop PC. Looking at the towers and the best deals (rollbacks & online offers), I came across some refurbished towers that definitely met my price range at the moment!!
Sure, I wasn't big on the idea of a refurbished tower, but who can beat around $90??!! No where that I found!
It's not over-flowing with features that I would love to have, but it has enough memory to last a while and it will allow me to do what I want; and with a 2 year warranty, just in case it does have issues.. I didn't think I'd ever get another deal closer!
Getting this tower dirt cheap, made me wonder has the desktop become that extinct that the prices could really be so low!? I just couldn't believe the deal!!
I love a good deal, don't you?! I plan to keep my eyes open towards the holidays for the online offers that I'll never see in the store!

M-I-A
Hello Everyone,
I am so sorry that I have been M-I-A lately, there has been tons of stuff going on in my life that has kept me SO busy; and a few others that have kept me from blogging. I promise that I will be more active in the future, thanks for sticking with me!
On top all the chaos with the company continuing to mess up my paycheck, kids returning to school, and all of the other normal life adventures... my computer decided to abandon me. :( It just QUIT!! No warnings, just stopped... I guess it was just worn out. Kinda like I have been feeling lately!
I've been spending a lot of time focusing on A New Me and not so much here, but I plan to make changes in that area!! A New Me has grown A LOT, but we have been just blogging about everything there and not just the meant to be areas... it's all good, but hoping to bring a little bit of that here!
I have invited my co-owner of A New Me, Joanne, to join me blogging here.. I'm hoping she accepts because I have big ideas for the future...
Again, I apologize for not blogging more. If all goes right, you all will be glad you hung around! :)
What would you like to see being discussed here?? Give me some topic ideas!

A New Me: The Lost Colony
A New Me: The Lost Colony: The most fascinating story I have ever heard is of the Lost Colony. No one knows what happened to them and there is a lot of speculation.... something that made North Carolina famous in some ways.

Got the RIGHT prescription?
One of my pet-peeves is detail which in many cases is an annoyance (lol); however, sometimes it can be a blessing.. like it was today!
My mom is disabled and over the past couple of years her eyes have gotten worse; and she was messing up distributing her medication into the weekly slots, so I started doing it for her. I didn't want her to not add medicines or add too much by mistake... medication isn't to be played with when you have health issues and allergies to some medications (or any other times for that matter)!
You have to understand that she takes A LOT of medication and this wouldn't be hard to do, and she's had a mix-up before that wasn't fun. I keep all of the bottles, even if they are empty, when I call in refills so that I can verify that the dosage and everything match what she has been taking and if any are left I make sure the pill looks the same.... I have opened a the new bottle on multiple occasions to see a different pill. Most of the time they put a label on the bottle letting you know that the color, size, or shape has changed so that you know. However, I have called before to be sure because there wasn't a label and I wanted to be sure that there had not been a mix-up.. after-all the people at the pharmacy are human too, we all make mistakes.
I went and picked up about 10 prescriptions on Monday for my mom, but he medicine dispenser was filled until this afternoon so I waited to fill it today.
As I was finishing her bottles with only 2 to go, I realized that one of her medicines had not been refilled... So, I looked at the bag to see if there was a note letting me know why they didn't fill it, but there wasn't one. So, I picked up the other bottle to see if it was it. It wasn't!
As I looked at this bottle there was no refill bottle to match and I didn't recognize the name of the medication... hmmm, weird!
So, I asked my mom if the doctor had put her on something new or changed one of her meds. Usually I take her to doctors appointments, but once in a while my aunt does, so I wanted to ask. As I waited for her to respond, I noticed that I didn't recognize the Doctor's name who prescribed the medication either... So, I got on the phone to the Pharmacy to see what was going on!!
I asked to speak to the pharmacist who had filled the medication, and explained that I didn't recognize the name of this medication nor the doctor who had prescribed it. He asked for my moms information and then put me on hold briefly to see what was going on....
After returning to the phone, he explained to me that the hard copy of the prescription had been filed under the wrong name.. my moms!! This was someone else's medication....
WOW! I'm SO glad for my attention to detail and habit to always check these little things today!!
I know we all make mistakes, but this could have been very dangerous!! I thought about all the older people and people who have trouble with their eyesight who distribute their own medicine and many of them would have just put in in the slot because they seen their name on it.
If they were allergic or have medical problems that could not have that medication with.. it would be BAD!!
So, PLEASE pay attention to your/or someone you love's prescription before giving/taking them because you never know when a mistake has been made!! :) Glad I caught ours!!
