OMGosh!!!! I have happy tears for you and your daughter!!!! That is the job of a lifetime!!! Fingers are crossed for her. Even if she doesn't snag the job...wow...just wow...how awesome to get soooooooooooooooooo cloooooooooooooooooose. She should keep trying as the universe will answer her with all the " almosts" and she will land that perfect one!!!!!
Well we are all family here...wink wink....great news for all of you,,,congrats
We would probably never take a DCL trip. Far too expensive. I'm hoping there is some sort of CM perk. Otherwise, as usual, everything this kid does costs me a fortune.
Last minute would be pretty hard for me and impossible for DH....but you never know what can happen.
That's the way I see it too. Try, try and try again.
LOL.... I can't tell you how many times I've wondered how on earth my kid turned out to be such a princess.
I saw on the news it was 5 months you had to wait between shots so I calculated that my date is May 27th. I can wait that long since I am sure that the booking sites will be busy plus Ajax hasn't set anything up yet and we have to book through them.
Don't know, but i made the appointment anyway! If they turn me away I'll just go shopping (the clinic is in the mall
) The website has changed since last night though and now says "must be 60 at time of appointment" if I decide to go to any of the drop in clinics, but if I fill the form out without my Healthcard and using my actual birthdate it didn't say no. I figure nothing ventured nothing gained, right?
This was the first time that I was glad that our health unit has it's own booking site and that hubby read the news within moments of the site being updated. The official info regarding the timing of doses on our Health Unit's site says "The recommended interval for those eligible to receive a fourth dose (second booster) is 5 months (140 days), however the minimum interval is 3 months (84 days) following your last dose." We want to get this done ASAP due to both of us having elderly parents (hubby's dad turns 99 this year) and we both have large gatherings to go to on the 23rd (shower for me and a stupid extended family "celebrating the end of Covid" gathering for him), there's a big family wedding on my side in June and we want to be fully covered by the time our grandson arrives!!!
Oh trust me, my sister, her husband and the woman who lives with her ALL either called or went into the bank to TRY and deal with this and get things straightened out!! I'm pretty sure my sister and her entire family will be moving any accounts from that bank to another after the responses they got (doesn't help that just last week her husband tried to take a whole $250 out and they insisted on 2 pieces of ID?!?!) The only way we got some sort of recognition that this is out of the ordinary and next time they *might* question more is because the friend who returned the cash is the one who has been doing the in-person banking for the store during COVID-19. Apparently they asked Mom what she needed the money for and she actually said "it's for my daughter" In my mind that should have risen a poop-ton of flags, le sigh
Nope, nada for me
Just got this - 500. No idea why.
Nope....nadda...nothing here
My mom is of the same vintage and constantly gets involved in phone calls with scammers. Fortunately, she is just suspicious enough that it doesn't get too far. I have told her over and over that no one legit is going to call you and start asking questions or give instructions. Her calls lately have been the Visa fraud department ones. She goes along believing it up to the point that they want her address....she tells them they already have it so why are they asking. That's when she clues in that maybe this is a scam. Every time I tell her do not engage these people. Hang up the phone and call Visa yourself to ask if they called. She keeps falling for it though because she regularly losses her credit card. She won't use a wallet and tosses her stuff loose in her purse....if she even carries a purse. When she goes shopping she throws her purse on the front seat in the car, grabs her visa and puts it in her pocket. She losses her keys and her visa often. Recently she got a phone call from the police (the real police) and someone had found her coin purse (that day she put her visa and some cash in a coin purse, put that in her pocket) then turned in to the police station. I keep waiting for the next one to be that her car was broken into and her purse stolen (or the car) while she was shopping. She has lost her keys and the last time she actual brought her cell phone but it was in her purse in the car so she couldn't call CAA. She leaves the car unlocked in her driveway often and it has has been riffled through a couple of times. LOL....she keeps blaming my nephew for that because he has a drug problem. I know it's not him....he's too high to even find her house on his best day. Now she has Cancer and wasn't planning to tell anyone. Finally told me after 4 months but said I couldn't tell anyone not even my brother. In that conversation she is saying how she needs to sell her house and all her stuff....meanwhile she hasn't even had the first appt with the specialist. So she decides that she will speak to the doctor but won't have any of the tests done which initially are blood and xrays. I know she had the blood work done but still refuses to get the xrays.I made a quick trip to Metro this morning for a few must-haves, milk, cream, bananas & sammie for the hubby and whatever else I had Airmiles offers on. I didn't have a threshold spend and figured keeping today's to the minimum might trigger one tomorrow. Pretty impressed with myself, spent $40.25 and snagged 42 miles (don't forget, we're talking Metro here!)
Got home and the poop hit the fan, OMG, so glad I went out "first-ish" thing. My mom got caught up in a scam, you know the old "your daughter's been in a car accident and we need you to go to your bank immediately to get cash so she can get out of jail in the courthouse" one GOOD FLIPPIN GRIEF! She had a seizure last summer, they discovered a cancerous tumour and she's more than slightly confused, has had both hips replaced during the whole COVID-19 thing, is 82 and hasn't been ANYWHERE on her own for over 2 years but she called a cab, went to the bank and withdrew $7,500 out of her frickin business account (luckily she had forgotten the account she was supposed to wire it to!) She then called me to go to the courthouse and rescue my sister before they took her away. URGH, I texted everyone madly trying to tease out the whole story, hubby stopped working and we flew up the highway. My brother-in-law works from home (always has) so he put his voicemail on, stuck an out-of-the-office backdrop on his Zoom meeting and went to her house. We got there and spent 3 hours trying to calm her down and sort things out. Money is back in the account, I've reported the fraud to whatever the heck the site is and I've almost settled down
SIDE NOTE for anyone who is in the magic "over 60 and had their 3rd jab more than 84 days ago" group we're eligible for our 4th jabs now! Hubby and I are booked in for Friday morning, hope I end up with the 5G reception this time!!
