#1 General Comment
OnlinePartBin.com is NOT Affiliated with The Parts Bin
AUTHOR: Onlinepartbin - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 02, 2013POSTED: Monday, December 02, 2013
Hi, I am the owner of OnlinePartBin.com and have had many of my customers recently mention negative reviews online. I did some more digging when a customer brought up some of the specifics.
The purpose of this review is to clear up any confusion about who we are. Online Part Bin is NOT associated IN ANY WAY with The Parts Bin, Parts Train, or any of their other affiliates.
They are based out of California, and we are based out of the San Antonio, TX area.
We specialize in New Bumpers and Fenders, Painted to Match your vehicle, and Shipped to your door. They do not offer a paint service on any of their parts.
This is not trying to drum up business for our company, but it is trying to clear up any concerns from our potential customers about ordering a painted to match bumper or fender. You will get your order, it will be right, and we stand behind EVERYTHING.
Thank you for taking the time to read this review.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

My wife, who is vigilant when it comes to our accounts, noticed that there were three unauthorized charges pending to the account; one for Experian credit and two seperate charges to different online-dating websites. Our bank was quickly notified and they closed the account and re-issued us a new one. Thanks Wells Fargo!
Years ago I was a fraud investigator/loss prevention manager for a major retail chain, and my first thought was someone at the Parts Bin must have taken the credit information and opened these fraudulent accounts. But, after thinking about it some more I began to wonder if maybe it had something to with all of the affiliate offers. Or, had the website been hacked/spoofed?
Anyway, after reading the nature of your report along with our own experience, I am back to the opinion that more likely than not someone at Parts Bin, or affiliated with them with direct access to its online transactions, is engaged in identity theft. By working with your bank you should be able to get this resolved.
Good luck!

We had an amazing time. We had picked the perfect cottage to have our minimoon. Lots lovely walks and the views were stunning. It was also easy to get to places by car as well. The cottage had everything we could ask for. The welcome food hamper was just what we needed to get started. We would love to come back.

What a Superb Barn Conversion in North Yorkshire, we had 8 in the Hay Barn for a 40th celebration. It was spacious, comfortable and cosy. We had a hands on touch from the owner Stuart and the place itself was well kept, clean and all the facilities and amenities were spot on, the Hot Tub was a big hit! The Under Floor Heating and Log Burner made the October days welcome! It was a shame to leave! Would definitely return.

The cottage itself was fantastic and fitted our needs perfectly. Furnished to high standard and plenty of room for everyone. The location was stunning and couldn't have asked for anything better.

We loved our stay at Warwick Coach House - it really is off the beaten track. Very well appointed, and finshed to a high level, it was perfect for our short stay. We found everything we needed upon arrival, and there were plenty of pubs/restuarants in the area (Middleham and further a field). I highly recommend anyone looking for a small and cosy bolthole to consider Warwick Coach House.

My wife and I and the couple who joined us are seasoned users of holiday lets and are fully agreed that the standard and attention to detail here are second to none. A freshly baked cake from the owners on arrival was just the start of an excellent weekend ......
George from Gateshead
Stayed at Miller's Retreat, November 2015
We had a great week at Seaves Cottage. We instantly felt comfortable and relaxed as soon as we arrived. The homemade coffee cake was a lovely touch.
The cottage is decorated to a very good standard and there was a comprehensive guest book to explain anything we needed.
We spent a lot of time exploring Ryedale and the surrounding area. The cottage is well located for this. Everything is within an easy drive. Good local pubs serving great food.
We would definitely return.

Late Middle English: variant of hotchpot.
In the late Middle Ages English acquired the word hotchpot for 'a confused mixture'. It came from French hochepot, which was formed from hocher 'to shake' and pot 'pot'. Hotchpot is still used in English law in the context of joining together all of a dead person's property so that it can be divided equally. In its everyday sense, though, people quickly changed it to hotchpotch, so that the elements rhymed for emphasis. The same rhyming impulses then changed it to hodgepodge, now mainly used in North America.

Martin Murray: Up To Hearn To Make Barker Showdown
MARTIN MURRAY believes a clash between him and Darren Barker would be one for the ages.
Barker won the IBF middleweight title at the weekend with a bruising 12 round decision over Daniel Geale.
And in the days since, the Barnet man has mentioned Murray as a potential opponent for first defence.
Murray has already proven his mettle at world level in two overseas title attempts and, if made, the fight would easily be the biggest all-British clash in the 160lbs division since the era of Eubank, Benn and Watson.
"We're both world class fighters. He's a world champion and I should have become one, arguably against [Felix] Sturm and definitely against [Sergio] Martinez, so we've got the chance to get a good middleweight era going again," Murray, 25-1 (11 KOs), said.
"Me and Barker have both said we want to get involved in big British world title fights and him beating Geale makes that possible.
"We've got a chance here for us to put on one the biggest fights out there. It'd be a massive event and my Twitter has gone crazy with people asking about it since his win.
"It's up to Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport whether it can happen, but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't."
A time when calling fighters out talking trash appears to becoming the norm, Murray says he has nothing but respect for Barker and would have been happy to see him win a world title even if he wasn't a potential future opponent.
"I watched him as a fan on the weekend and regardless of whether I get shot or not, I'm made up for him," Murray said.
"He fought his heart out against Geale and he achieved his goal and I couldn't be more pleased.
"We've spoke a few times over Twitter and also when we were on Ringside and we get on well. I also know we both want the fight.
"I don't know what the situation is with his mandatory, but his trainer Tony Simms has also talked about fighting me so they must be thinking about it."
Better not hide behind a high guard all night Martin.Comment by Dirk Diggler UK on 08-22-2013
[QUOTE=ShoulderRoll;13669853]Murray wasn't at all interested when Golovkin was offering him a title shot. But now he's very willing to get one against Barker. Isn't it funny how that works?[/QUOTE] When did Murray say he wasn't interested in Golovkin?Comment by taansend on 08-22-2013
[QUOTE=The Weebler II;13671357]I just don't understand how it seems Sturm can call the shots despite being the challenger. Maybe he can't, but that's the way it's being discussed. Matchroom want the fight in London.[/QUOTE] Probably something like Sturms people had…Comment by ShoulderRoll on 08-22-2013
Sturm is huge in Germany. Much more popular than Barker in England. He's got a TV deal and regularly sells out indoor arenas. If this fight goes to purse bids I would imagine that his team has more clout.Comment by Weebler I on 08-22-2013

Q&A With Ash Balachandran of Good Health Pharmacy in Winter Haven
Published: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 4:03 a.m.
Ash Balachandran, 45, enjoys giving time and attention to his clients at Good Health Pharmacy in Winter Haven.
The manager and pharmacist at the newly opened pharmacy said he daily uses five languages and knows 12 languages. His pharmacy offers old-fashioned service, with a drive-up window and free delivery.
At a very young age, Balanchandran decided to become a pharmacist. He grew up in a medicine environment because his father was a doctor.
He decided to follow something related to medicine.
He has also has been trained in specific alternative medicine, called pharmacognosy. The side effects of these herbal medicines, he said, are less. He considers himself an old-school pharmacist. He prefers to help the patient in a more holistic way.
Q: Why do you think clients go to your pharmacy?
A: This is an independent pharmacy. We can give more time to the people. We would like to be more intimate with people, to be able to give them more of our time to see what they need, instead of not knowing their face.
Q: Is it difficult to compete with other pharmacies like Walgreen's?
A: Yes, economically they have more power. But we have our strings and they have theirs. We are more personal, we give more time to people. I will probably not fill that many prescriptions, but I can please and reach out to a greater number of people.
Q: What different services do you offer?
A: We have blister packing, where we put everything in order for the morning, noon, evening and bedtime. Thereby it saves them a lot of time, avoids errors and patients are more comfortable because they don't have to go through bottles one by one. We also offer free home delivery at any time. Medications cannot have time restrictions. We do compounding that most pharmacies in this area don't.
Q: The prices of the medicine in the pharmacy are affordable to the public?
A: If the patient cannot afford the medication, I will contact the doctor to let him know that the patient cannot afford it and suggest a cheaper option. Also, with the Patient Assistant Program we can sign them up as patient advocates so the company takes care of the patient from then on. They could get some type of discount or free medication.

Verizon has restored landline and wireless voice service in New York's Madison County after repairing a severed underground fiber cable.
Dycom was unscathed by Google Fiber's move to pause FTTH rollouts in certain markets as it saw growth from AT&T, Verizon and Comcast.
Viavi hopes to address challenges mobile network operators will increasingly face as mobile networks proliferate and crowd airwaves.
Consolidated is leveraging an existing FTTH network to enable 1 Gbps service for its customers in Sacramento and Roseville, California.
AT&T says Google Fiber's one touch make ready proposal in Tennessee to string fiber on could compromise its union workforce relationship.
Tom Stanton, CEO of Adtran is guiding its service provider customers on their last mile virtualization path via NFV and SDN.
Comcast is challenging a Google Fiber representative's comments that the service provider could bypass the Tennessee market.
Consolidated Communications is challenging Comcast and Frontier with new 1 Gbps internet speeds for some California customers.
Viavi Solutions is under pressure from shareholder Sandell Asset Management to retool the company strategy and consider a possible sale.
Service providers need to make money on network functions virtualization as soon as it's deployed, so naturally, they're looking to business services.

WBC To Present Plan For Pension Fund in Coming Weeks
The World Boxing Council wants to present a working plan for its pension fund by the end of January.
At the WBC's fiftieth Convention, which is this year being held in the Oasis Hotel, Cancun, its President Jose Sulaiman explained that by this time a worldwide list of boxers who have fallen on hard times and are in dire need will be drawn up. He stressed that the financial side will be dealt by an indepentently established committee.
He explained: "I'm asking all of our members to look within their nations, to advise us of who are the former boxers really in great need, so the WBC can spend the money we have to help them. And we have our World Boxing Cup as more income coming and some other things we are thinking about."
The fund recieved a massve boost thanks to luxury Swiss watch company Hublot, who raised a million dollars for it. Hublot presented twelve WBC Super Champions with watches, and then auctioned exact replicas.
Something that is long over due and has been called for many times before in the boxing community. The only concern I have is that the WBC usually acts in it's own best interest and towards profit. Would the funds…Comment by Gypsy John Fury on 12-05-2012
I'm not convinced a few watches are enough assets to kick start a pension fund. Need to see fighters contractually enrolled into the pension plan with a % of purse.Comment by pacmanis1 on 12-05-2012
Terrible idea. I mean it sounds good and is a nice gesture, but I don't see how it could possibly work.Comment by anonymous2.0 on 12-05-2012
I disagree. A pension sounds good, but really its another fee the fighters under the WBC have to pay, and not every boxer under the WBC is making 6 figure paydays. I really don't see outside serious 3rd party funding…Comment by ddangerous on 12-04-2012
Pretty noble cause. Hopefully it is not abused, and also doesn't end up promoting irresponsible spending. WBC Pension Fund +1, WBC Pres reinstated -1.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (6)

First, US Bank sent a letter thanking me for applying for a credit card. But,were unable to consider our application at this time because our residence is outside of their defined trade area.
Then we were sent to Consolidebt and spoke with Joseph at 1-888-777-6525 ext 122. On 7-10-09 again spoke with Joseph, and he also said he could not help us. I went back to Lucas and reported what was happening. His only comment was "just wait, I'm sure they are still looking". I mention that I guess my $250.00 was a waste of my money and he said They are still looking. Here it is July 31, 2009 and I have still not heard anything. I want my $250.00 back if they are not going to help me.

Malignaggi: Broner is The Easiest Fight They Offered
WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi was one of the most frustrated men in Manchester last November when a right hand to Ricky Hatton's ribs brought an end to his hopes of a rematch against the big-money Briton.
Sky Bet
Malignaggi had been ringside to watch Hatton's comeback bout against Vyacheslav Senchenko with the hope of starting to hype up a return fight just as soon as the Hitman had done the business.
The fast-talking Malignaggi returned to the US looking to secure a different super-fight, and he was not kept waiting for long with the announcement he will face self-styled superstar in waiting Adrien Broner in Brooklyn on June 22.
Malignaggi said: "Adrien is nothing more than a Floyd Mayweather wannabe. He tries to fight like him and he talks and breathes like him. He needs to get his own character. It's a big insecurity for him."
Since being stopped in the penultimate round by Amir Khan in New York in 2010, Malignaggi has rebounded with five straight wins, including claiming the WBA crown with a stoppage win over Senchenko in April last year.
And while Malignaggi has come up short against the likes of Khan, Hatton and Miguel Cotto, it is also fair to say the Cincinnati, Ohio native Broner has hardly faced opponents to set the world alight.
Malignaggi added: "Broner is coming up a weight class against a real man and he is going to get hit a lot too. Guys like (Broner) are a dime a dozen. I am fortunate to get these kinds of opportunities and usually I am able to upset the apple-cart.
"I didn't get my titles handed to me, I earned them. What happens to Broner when it isn't easy? He's never been put in this situation before. I thought this was the easiest fight they offered to me. They're giving me an ex-junior-lightweight. It was a no-brainer. He has good speed and power but a lot of what he does is overrated."

In a typical homicide case, there are often two sides: the victim's family, and the family of the accused.
But as the deadly shooting of Matthew Leach by his father in an Old Forge motel room last summer shows, those lines can become blurred when both the victim and the accused share the same family.
Since the July 2012 death, family members of 59-year-old Michael Leach, a former captain of the Rochester Police Department, have stood by his side as he faces charges of second-degree murder. He didn't mean to kill his son, they said, but instead Michael Leach fired his gun into the darkness believing that an intruder had entered his room at the Clarks Beach Motel.
It wasn't, however, until Herkimer County District Attorney Jeffrey Carpenter announced Aug. 5 that the victim's widow had consented to a proposed plea offer of three to nine years in state prison for her father-in-law that the rest of Matthew Leach's family publicly spoke up.
They were outraged that Carpenter had only talked with Matthew Leach's widow despite a number of phone calls and emails to the DA's Office in July 2012 and February that went unanswered, they said.
Since then, steps have been taken to try and finally arrange a meeting between Carpenter and certain family members.
This discontent has only made it more painful for Matthew Leach's wife, Theresa, to cope with the loss of her husband of nearly two years, she said this week.
"I can't just think about Matt. I have to think about the trial and court," Theresa Leach cried over the phone. "I just want this to be over so I don't have to think about anything. I haven't been able to just mourn my husband."
She also wanted the Leach family to know that she has no say in how Michael Leach's case is prosecuted. And while she doesn't believe her father-in-law should face a maximum punishment, she does think he should be held accountable for taking another person's life, even if it's a small sentence.
"Yes, I do believe he's already suffering, and I still believe it was an accident," Theresa Leach said about Michael Leach. "But if I shot and killed someone in my family, I would feel horrible. I would want to be punished and do my time, and I wouldn't be fighting for my innocence."
Last week, Leach's family started an online petition on change.org seeking to dismiss all charges against Michael Leach, who could face a minimum of 15 years to life in prison if found guilty of murder. His trial is set to begin Monday, Nov. 18.
Page 2 of 2 - "We stand unified in our statement that Michael Leach should NOT be tried for the tragic, accidental shooting of Matthew Leach," states the petition, which so far has been signed by at least 370 supporters. "Charging Michael and pursuing a trial is justice for NO one. We will be heard and Mr. Carpenter, as the representation for the justice system, is ignoring the people who were most affected by this tragedy."
Carpenter acknowledged the fact that the victim's family also is the defendant's family adds a "new dynamic" that is not often seen in other criminal cases. Still, Carpenter said he has a duty on behalf of the public to prosecute someone who has been indicted by a grand jury on criminal charges.
"If I felt that a dismissal was the proper thing to do, that's what I would recommend to the court, but I do not believe that is appropriate," Carpenter said.
Instead, Carpenter has offered Michael Leach the lesser prison sentence if he pleads guilty to second-degree manslaughter. Michael Leach is expected to report on Monday whether he wants to accept that offer.
In Oneida County, District Attorney Scott McNamara has encountered his fair share of homicides in which the victim's and the defendant's family are one and the same. Over the years, McNamara said he has learned that it's important to consider what close family members have to say.
When Kevin Adams, 19, fatally stabbed his 80-year-old grandfather Edward Bogan in Clinton in 2008, Bogan's children preferred the young man receive psychiatric help for his deadly delusions instead of spending life in prison.
The parents of Joseph Giacona Jr. also didn't want to see their grandson – 13-year-old Joseph Giacona III – face a lifetime of punishment for killing his father in Vernon in 2008, and the teen ultimately spent about a year in juvenile detention.
"In those circumstances, I kind of bring everybody in, I explain my position and what my job is, and I listen to them to see why they think this happened, then I try and gauge what I think justice is," McNamara said. "I don't always defer to them, but you lean to them a little bit more because you don't want the family out there saying you're doing something wrong."

" Overbooked the room, unapologetic about this and no offering of any form of compensation! The main hostel manager tried to make me feel bad about the situation! He stated that if I really didn't want the extra person there, the person would have to sleep on the streets! The hostel manger and the front desk woman (she wears braces) handle complaints very emotional, unprofessional and hostile, in particular as they tried to blame Portuguese culture for their mistake.

First Chapter
'The Winter Queen'
By BORIS AKUNIN
Published: July 13, 2003
On Monday the fifteenth of May in the year 1876, between the hours of two and three in the afternoon on a day that combined the freshness of spring with the warmth of summer, numerous individuals in Moscow's Alexander Gardens unexpectedly found themselves eyewitnesses to the perpetration of an outrage that flagrantly transgressed the bounds of common decency.
The public strolling the alleyways between blossoming lilac bushes and flower beds ablaze with the flaming scarlet blooms of tulips was smartly decked out: ladies holding aloft lacework parasols (to avert the threat of freckles), nannies minding children in neat little sailor suits, and young men affecting an air of boredom in fashionable cheviot frock coats or jackets cut in the short English fashion. With nothing apparently portending any disagreeable turn of events, a lazy satisfaction and gratifying tedium suffused the atmosphere, mingling with the scents of a mature and confident spring season. The rays of the sun beat down in earnest, and every last one of the benches that happened to stand in the shade was occupied.
Seated on one of these benches located not far from the Grotto and facing the railings so as to afford a view of the beginning of Neglinnaya Street and the yellow wall of the Manège were two ladies. One of them, a very young lady (indeed, not really a lady at all, more of a girl), was reading a small morocco-bound volume and glancing about her from time to time with an air of distracted curiosity. Her much older companion, wearing a good-quality dark blue woolen dress and sensible lace-up ankle boots, rotated her needles in a regular rhythm as she concentrated on knitting some item in a poisonous pink, yet still found time to turn her head to the right and the left with a rapid glance so keen that there was certainly no way anything the least bit remarkable could possibly escape it.
The lady's attention was caught immediately by the young man in narrow check trousers, a frock coat casually buttoned over a white waistcoat, and a round Swiss hat. He was walking along the alley in such a remarkably strange manner, stopping every now and again as he attempted to pick out somebody among the strollers, then taking a few abrupt steps before stopping yet again. Glancing suddenly in the direction of our ladies, this unbalanced individual seemed to resolve upon some course of action, and immediately set off toward them with broad, decisive strides. He halted in front of the bench and addressed the young girl, exclaiming in a clownish falsetto, "My lady! Has no one ever told you that your beauty is beyond all endurance?"
The girl, who was indeed quite wonderfully pretty, gaped at the impudent fellow in startled amazement, her strawberry-red lips parted slightly in fright. Even her mature companion seemed dumbfounded at such unheard-of familiarity.
"I am vanquished at first sight," said the stranger, continuing with his tomfoolery. He was, in fact, a young man of perfectly presentable appearance, with hair trimmed fashionably short at the temples, a high, pale forehead, and brown eyes glinting in feverish excitement. "Pray allow me to impress upon your innocent brow an even more innocent, purely fraternal kiss!"
"Zir, you are kvite drunk!" said the lady with the knitting, recovering her wits and revealing that she spoke Russian with a distinct German accent.
"I am drunk on nothing but love," the insolent fellow assured her, and in the same unnatural, whining voice he demanded: "Just one little kiss or I shall lay hands upon myself this instant!"
The girl cowered against the back of the bench and turned her pretty face toward her protectrice, who remained undismayed by the alarming nature of the situation and displayed perfect presence of mind. "Get avay from here zis instant! You are crayzee!" she cried, raising her voice and holding her knitting out in front of her with the needles protruding in bellicose fashion. "I call ze conshtable!"
Then something utterly fantastic happened.
"Ah! So I am rejected!" the young man squealed in counterfeit despair, covering his eyes theatrically with one hand and swiftly extracting from his inside pocket a small revolver of gleaming black steel. "What meaning has life for me after this? A single word from you and I live. A single word from you and I die where I stand!" he appealed to the young girl, who was sitting there herself more dead than alive. "You say nothing? Then farewell!"
The sight of a gentleman gesticulating with a gun could not fail to attract the attention of the promenading public. Several of those who happened to be close at hand-a stout lady holding a fan, a pompous gentleman with a cross of the Order of St. Anne hanging around his neck, two girls from boarding school in identical brown frocks with pelerines-froze on the spot, and some student or other even halted on the pavement on the far side of the railings. In short, there was reason to hope that the scandalous incident would rapidly be brought to a close.
What followed, however, occurred too rapidly for anyone to intervene.
"Here's to luck!" cried the drunk-or, perhaps, the madman. Then he raised the hand holding the revolver high above his head, spun the cylinder, and set the muzzle to his temple.
"You clown! You motley buvfoon!" whispered the valiant German matron, demonstrating a quite respectable knowledge of colloquial Russian.
The young man's face, already pale, turned gray and green by turns. He bit his lower lip and squeezed his eyes tight shut. The girl closed her eyes, too, just to be on the safe side.

Challengers make it back on top in softball
Winning the Southern Cascade League title seemed like a pretty bold goal this spring considering the recent history of the Cascade Christian...
The South Medford girls tennis team swept past Thurston, 8-0, in District 1 action at South Medford High on Saturday.
Sophomore Kelsey Bartlett, the Panthers' No. 1 girls player, improved to 3-0 after beating Sarah Morris, 7-5, 6-1.
South Medford's top doubles pairing of Kali Curtis and Hannah Case topped Stephanie Hall and Sierra Hebert, 6-0, 6-2.
"For both teams to go 14-2, it's fantastic," said South head coach Hal Borg, who also coaches the South boys team that downed Thurston, 6-2. "The kids played great and the weather cooperated."
The Panthers improved to 2-1 on the season.

I have two records like this:

When I query it with (user's id = 5):
TraceGroup.objects.filter(user=user, parent__parent__isnull=True)
I got:
[<TraceGroup: My favorites>, <TraceGroup: My traces>]
But the first record (My favorites) is not expected result for me.
I think this is because <My favorites>'s parent is null, parentparentisnull will be matched if parent is null.
I have to do this way to get correct result:
TraceGroup.objects.filter(user=user, parent__isnull=False, parent__parent__isnull=True)
Is this a bug or it should be commented at documentation?

Ah, this is a nice corner case. I really don't know whether this should be considered a bug or not! I only treat this as a bug so that it gets some attention before 1.0. This is really something for Malcolm to decide for himself.

- Resolution set to wontfix

This isn't really a bug, because it's a very normal type of result to expect: if the parent is null, then the "parent's parent" can still be queried, but it will also be null. Otherwise everybody filtering on parent__parent__isnull=True would have to also test if parent__isnull=True, which is onerous and almost always what is expected. So your second query is the right way to do what you want and the first is returning the "correct" results for our interpretation.
I'm going to close this as wontfix, but I'll make a small documentation change to try and clarify it.

FWIW despite your concerns about the length, once the docs refactor stuff happens(be it before or after 1.0), it can be put in a better location since the docs will split into multiple smaller parts.
comment:6 Changed 8 years ago by mtredinnick
@Alex: the problem with the length is the length relative to the surrounding text. What I was documenting is a complete edge-case and it takes up more space than the normal case, thus making it look like it might be really important to somebody reading that section.

Zone 5 and Zone 1 Missions for the Week:
Zone 5 - the Living/Family Room (MTW)
Zone 1 - the Front Porch/Entrance and Dining Room (Th,F)
Zone 5: Mission #1 Monday
Dear Friends:
We are going to be in Zone 5 for three days this week. This is the
Living Room and Family Room. We are going after the hidden clutter
in these rooms. Take a look around you and see what is laying around
that is really clutter but because you have become so used to it
being there you don't see it as clutter. Have you purged those
magazines and books lately? How about the videos, dvd's and cd's?
Are they strewn in piles all over that because they belong in these
rooms you don't see them anymore? Your mission for today is to set
your timer for 15 minutes and go after the "hidden" clutter in these
rooms. You will be amazed at how much neater the rooms look when you
tackle this. Do not get obsessed and take apart the whole room.
This is about progress NOT perfection. Just tackle one thing at a
Missions, To-Do and Chit Chat Oct 29- Nov 4
To Do:
Major house cleanup (still dealing with the Halloween fallout)
Move DD's bed into her own room (room sharing lasted less time than I though! but what little girl wants to share with her brother)
ETA: fortunately my bathrooms have been swished and swiped daily so no need to frantically clean bathrooms for the play date!
What a morning! I snoozed my alarm a few times, then I COULD NOT wake Thomas. I decided to let him sleep in, and would take them out for breakfast, and drop him off late to school. I checked my calendar (which I hadn't flipped to Nov yet) and noticed I had a doctor's appt for my B12 shot in 1/2 an hour (it's a 15-20 min drive if traffic is good). I fly through getting the kids dressed and drag them to the doctor's. I was supposed to fill my prescription first, but since we are late, I hope she has extra B12 in stock...of course she's out. Thankfully there was a pharmacy in the building, and since Thomas was there, he got his Flu shot. We then went out for breakfast and it was after 10:30am by the time I got him to school. Nice morning with the kids though. When Becca and I got home, we raked leaves in the front yard.

I am drowning my sorrow in food. The girl backed out of the deal. I am beyond pissed. Now she has wasted our time and energy (and many sleepless nights) and we have to back out of the house we want to buy and we've messed with their lives too. Unintentional as it was, we still want the house but can't get a mortgage without selling ours and our time is up by contract. This is our second person to back out after inspection, when the report comes back without any signifigant findings. WTF?
Jess I am soooo sorry. That sucks beyond words.
Oh no!!! That royally sucks! Did the other realtor say why?
Me + DH = Joey (8/2012), Abbie (3/2015)
We share a realtor. Her parents were going to front her 75K downpayment (co-sign). They have been all for it, she's been unsure and undecided about what she wants in life. Then when she's convinced, the parents decide the house is too old for her and would be hard to maintain. Its 1930s. Im in a cursing mood. Waiting for DH to get home so we can have a beer.
Jess - That sucks! What a flake. If it makes you feel better, we had an offer on a house conditional on us selling our house. The offer expired since we didn't sell our house. Another offer came in on the house and then fell through. In the meantime, we sold our house, so we put a 2nd offer in (for less $...and they'd put in new carpets in the meantime) and got the house we wanted! Might still work out for you.

Hi Ladies. I am feeling better today. Not mad today. Also, not much going on. DH is at work a bit this am. Later him and the kids are going for haircuts. I guess I should go too to keep the crying to a minimum. I have a couple of decluttering challenges to do...I hope. Also going to start the 20 days of thankful project with the kids.
Anyone around today?
Jess I am around a little. Not as easy to be around on the weekend when both of the kids are home.
I need to shampoo the carpets today. Especially with Drew's potty training.
We are going to make pencil toppers to remind us to be thankful also.
Our apartment office has asked us to clear off our patio for the second time now. They are supposed to be pressure washing our balcony and then never show up. If they don't show today, they are going to have a very unhappy person on their hands.
We ran errands this morning...I wanted to buy Becca new dance slippers. We then ended up at Zellers, which is closing, and many are turning into Walmarts. I got MOST of my Christmas shopping done, as they are selling everything at 40% off. I was so happy. I feel better now that I have some of it started, and just need to get a few more things.

I can't read their small prints on the receipt do to my vision so I told the store manager/casher to help me on how to get these rebates, after this guy (his name is Regis Busch) read the paper he told me that all I need to do is fill out my home address and my phone number and send it with my receipt to get this rebate. Needless to said I was happy.
3 month later, I call the rebate center about why I haven't get my rebate, they told me I don't have THE item bar code and they can't do anything unless I go to office depot to solve this problem. WTF???? I SEND THE RECEIPTS (the receipt has items code in it) and the rebate form AND THEY TOLD ME I DON'T HAVE SOME BAR CODE?? WHEN I go to the officeDepot place, they told me its not their fault for "rebate center" and Me not getting this right and when I complain I won't leave until this is clear because he told me it wasnt his fault for not able to send the code with the receipt, that Regis guy actually told me to "get the F**K out or I'll call the police" What kind of service is this?

Paramakudi is a town, a municipality in Ramanathapuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The river Vaigai flows through Paramakudi on its way to the Bay of Bengal. It is the Political and Revenue headquarters of Ramanathapuram district.[2] As of 2011, the town had a population of 95,579.
|Religious census
According to 2011 census, Paramakudi had a population of 95,579 with a sex ratio of 966 females for every 1,000 males, much above the national average of 929.[3] A total of 9,292 were under the age of six, constituting 4,800 males and 4,492 females. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes accounted for 14.5% and .08% of the population respectively. The average literacy of the town was 81.44%, compared to the national average of 72.99%.[3] The town had a total of 23504 households. There were a total of 35,561 workers, comprising 825 cultivators, 881 main agricultural labourers, 6,682 in house hold industries, 23,453 other workers, 3,720 marginal workers, 113 marginal cultivators, 209 marginal agricultural labourers, 496 marginal workers in household industries and 2,902 other marginal workers.[1]
As per the religious census of 2011, Paramakudi had 86.55% Hindus, 9.2% Muslims, 4.11% Christians, 0.01% Sikhs and 0.12% following other religions.[4]
Paramakudi is the gateway for entrants to Madurai, Sivagangai and Ramanathapuram districts from north and west. The town started its developments earlier than 1866 Paramakudi is the taluk Headquarters from the year 1918 (i.e. from the date of formation of Ramanathapuram District.). The Paramakudi town consist of two separate settlements viz., Paramakudi and Emaneswaram from the first half of this century. These settlements were classified as separate towns in the census records from 1901 to 1961 and then they were merged to form the present municipal town in 1964. The River Vaigai separates Paramakudi and Emaneswaram. Paramakudi is situated on the southern bank of the river and the Emaneswaram is the other way around.
Paramakudi was constituted as a third grade municipality in the year 1964 and upgraded as Second Grade municipality with effect from 1.5.1974 and again upgraded as first grade municipality with effect from 22.5.1998. The area of the town is 13 km2. The strength of the council is 36. Mrs. Keerthika Muniyasamy is the Chairman of Paramakudi Municipality from 2006 till now and she is the longest serving Chairman.
The nearest towns include Ilaiyangudi, Mudukulathur, Ramanathapuram, and Sivagangai. The town is at the junction of three districts: Ramnathapuram, Sivagangai and Virudunagar. Paramakudi is 69 km east of Madurai, en route to Rameswaram.
This area had been under the Chola Dynasty when Rajendra Chola I brought it under his territory in 1063 AD[citation needed].
In the late 12th and early 13th century, this province was ruled by Hazrat Sulthan Syed Ibrahim shaheed of Ervadi. Later on his heirs ruled the province following a peace treaty with the sethupathis. From then, until the early 15th century the present territories of Ramanathapuram district — comprising the taluks Tiruvadanai, Paramakudi, Kamuthi, Mudukulathur, Ramanathapuram and Rameswaram — were included in the Pandyan Empire.
In 1520 CE, the Nayaks of the Vijayanagara Empire — Sethupatis who had been subordinate to the Pandyan Kings — took this area under their control from the Pandyan Dynasty and reigned till the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, family disputes over succession resulted in the division of Ramanathapuram. With the help of the King of Thanjavur in 1730 CE, one of the chieftains deposed the Sethupathi and became the Raja of Sivaganga. Acting upon the weakness of the Nayak rulers, the local chieftains (Palayakarars) became independent; the Raja of Sivagangai and the Sethupathi of Ramanathapuram were prominent among them. In 1730, Chanda Shahib of Karnataka captured Ramanathapuram. In 1741 the area came under the control of the Marathas and then under the Nizam in 1744 CE. Dissatisfied with the Nawab's rule, the chieftains revolted, led by the last ruling Nayak, against the Nawab in 1752. By that time, the throne of Karnataka had two rivals, Chanda Shahib and Muhammad Ali, and this district was part of Karnataka. The British supported Chand Sahib, whilst the French supported Muhammad Ali. This paved the way for a series of conflicts in the southern part of the continent.
In 1795, the British deposed Muthuramalinga Sethupathi and took control of the administration of Ramanathapuram. In 1801 Mangaleswari Nachiyar was made the Zamindar of Sivaganga. After the passing of the Queen Velu Nachiyar, the Maruthu brothers took charge by paying regular revenue to the East India company. In 1803 the Maruthu Pandiyar of Sivaganga revolted against the British in collaboration with Kattabomman of Panchalamkurichi. Colonel Agnew captured and hanged the Maruthu brothers and made Gowri Vallabha Periya Udaya Thevar as Zamindar of Sivaganga. After the fall of Tippu Sultan, the British took control and imprisoned the Nawab. In 1892 the Zamindari system was abolished and a British collector was appointed for administration.
In 1910, Paramakudi was formed from portions of Madurai and Tirunelveli districts, with J.F. Bryant as the first collector. During the British period this district was called "Ramnad"; the name continued after independence. Later the district was renamed as Ramanathapuram to be in conformity with the Tamil name for this region.The another name of Paramakudi is also called us Parambai. Parambai that means the vaigai river cross the town.That means face of the vaigai.So called as the name. Historically the area was ruled by the Pandyan Dynasty and later by King Sethupathi of Ramanathapuram. According to the ancient epic Ramayana, Lord Rama started his battle against Ravana at Sethu Canal, which is 90 minutes travel from here.
Paramakudi consists of two formerly separate settlements, Paramakudi and Emaneswaran, which merged to form the present municipal town in 1964.
Most of the area is covered by the unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age except in the northwestern part, where isolated patches of Archaen Crystallines and Tertiary sandstone are exposed. The Archaeans are mainly represented by the Charnockite Group of rocks comprising garnetiferrous granulite and the Khondalite Group of rocks made up of quartzite of genesses.
The Tertiary sandstone (Cuddalore Formation) comprise pinkish, yellowish, reddish (variegated colours) medium to coarse grained sandstone and clay stone. It is overlain by thin alluvium and exposed towards north of Vaigai River.
Detached exposures of laterite and lateritic soil are seen in the northwestern part of the district.
A major part of the district is covered with the fluvial, fuvio-marine, Aeolian and marine sediments of Quaternary age. The fluvial deposits which are made up of sand, silt and clay in varying degree of admixture occur along the active channels of Vaigai, Gundar, Manimuthar and Pambar rivers.
