Sorry, but I can't do the link for you..... but here's the url: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-other-soup/italian-meatball-tomato-soup.html?p=2 That's my personal recipe that we always use, and my husband is in love with it. The meatballs are just extra, but it really helps to fill you up with the extra…

I have the same issue, and to this day, I still have dislocations. (25 years after the first dislocation) I've found that I do a little more arm movement instead of the leg movement, like when I do aerobic dancing. I try to compensate one way or another. And swimming is always a friend to us with bad knees!! :) ETA: Annie…

oh! I forgot to mention!!! I found a website called budgetbytes.com. This girl has a GREAT knack for finding awesome, delicious recipes that won't break your budget. :)

This is a GREAT helper! Plus, if you have an Aldi's around you, you can get your grocery bill for about 1/2 of what you'd pay at walmart. Thankfully, spring is (hopefully!) on it's way, and farmers markets should be coming up soon, and they're fun places to experiment with new foods, plus, they don't mind negotiations ;-)…

I'm getting about 3-4 calls a day, but one voicemail. They call around 12-5.

Um... can you read?? Where did I ever say that I expected my insurance to pay this????????? All I mentioned was that I contacted my insurance asking if there was additional charges made after my last appointment that were NOT for me. Wow. The amount of decent people on MFP is astonishing, however, the people that can't…

Yes, the bill has a name, so at least I know the name of the creditor. And there is no mention of my dentist's name on the bill. LOL A commodore 64 is a computer from the 80's.

The collector never says what his company name is, but says it's an important business matter. In fact, even when you call the collector back, the phone operator at the "company" never says the company's name when she answers the phone, either. But I DID receive a bill in the mail from them, just with the amount of $308,…

the last sentence is the main idea behind this entire thread! :) You got it!!!! If no one will send me an itemized account of all the extra fees, then I see no reason to pay more than $25!

Ok... so to those saying "grow up and pay the bill" .... if someone randomly sent you a bill, saying you owe $1000, you'd just pay it without verification? You guys all just have $1000 to throw away? And afterwards, you'd then fight to get the money back?

The only thing I hate: cleaning up afterwards! lol!! My current favorite is: blackberry, apple, orange, pear, lemon, ginger and sweet potato. It's amazing!! And I never knew how much adding a small sweet potato will help make it tastier!! But I ALWAYS add ginger to ANY juice I make!

Thank you very much for your reply! I'm not sure I owe THAT much... I know I'd owe the $25 for the missed appointment, but $281 extra? Plus, why would it be so hard to get an itemized list of the fee from anyone? I don't have a work phone here at my job, but this collector has found my employer, and has called and left…

Aww, you're cute. How about you READ before you post, and see details?

I've never met her before, but I'm very tempted! :) LOL

Thank you! I will! The funny thing is that when I called my dental insurance company, they gave me the amounts charged and the check numbers for payment that they sent, and the dates cleared, and nothing was submitted after January 2013. My husband says that this sounds a bit like either insurance fraud, or some other…

GREAT! THANK YOU!!! I remember a sign at that dentist's office saying that a missed appointment fee is $25. So.... $306?????

I've called the dentist's office four times since the 10th, and they always say that the girl who deals with accounting is out at a different location, and that she'll call me back. Funny, because the bill collector says that he hasn't heard from the dentist's office, either.

I'm fighting them because why would I not hear from that dentist for a year, then all of a sudden get a letter in the mail and phone calls from this collector, and no one is sending me an itemized list? My insurance doesn't even show anything being billed from that time.

Big hugs and so glad to see you back on here more often!!!! :)

You've helped me tremendously, NiceSpydr. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart :) I will start looking in the morning for therapists in my area :)

Bet she didn't see THAT one coming. I agree with Gemini. She gave false hopes to many people. She was a fraud, honestly. She may have had SOME spirits talking to her, but she wasn't what she said she was. ETA: I apologize to the op because they said they liked Sylvia... or a troll.. not sure what.... But if it's genuine,…

Very biased here..... and it wasn't anything spectacular..... but Dream Theater's "Pull Me Under" was, and always will be the first major video where I was mesmerized at the sound.... and James LaBrie's hair :) LOL Still a major fan to this day. And I also remember having a German Baptist babysitter who loved to watch…

The new "trend" of bullying is having a lot to do with it. Plus, school shootings aren't exactly helping matters. As for the socializing aspect, if you have art museums, local parks, craft stores and shops, etc, check into their homeschooling programs. In my area, we have a TON of places that have certain days where…

Add me!! You and I are weight loss twins, and honestly, we're in the same boat with eating cheap and trying to make this happen!!! We got this!! :)

Me too!!!! Diagnosed last year, but probably had it for years before it was diagnosed.

I'm a huge Dream Theater fan, so I've been listening to them, and their new single. Also, their singer, James Labrie's recent solo album is awesome, IMO. I've got Adrenaline Mob's two albums on the top list, too. Got the classic 80's/90's rock hits for work to keep me going. And I ALWAYS can listen to Alice In Chains (new…

Monistat makes a chafing gel that's AMAZING. It feels like silk on your legs and helps me TREMENDOUSLY, especially in summer months and whenever I wear a skirt or dress. You can get it in the feminine area of the store.

Skinnytaste fiesta lime rice is my favorite recipe to use my leftover black beans up!

Rock Star :)

LMAO!! me too!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
