I booked a motel a week ago on the outskirts of Albany Georgia (the nicer. Newer part)
I booked over the Internet DIRECTLY through the motel. No middleman.
I received my confirmation.
Upon arrival, I was told that this is "graduation" weekend. Whatever the Hell that is and that they were booked solid. I had no room. Nothing.(And good luck finding another room nearby)
I didn't want to cause a scene. So I quietly went into the lobby area and called the parent companies 1-800 number and let them have it!
They called the front desk, and wouldn't you know it? A room became available.........................And it's a suite!
I just grabbed the room cards and came upstairs to take a shower. But curious, I contacted my credit card company. I only use the same one for travel. It's easy to keep track of. AND I was charged for the suite upgrade!
I got back on the phone to the same 1-800 number with my complaint reference number in hand....And now the room is free.
Should I still write a bad review?
Should I still feel badly about swiping the tiny soaps?
It's a nice room.

I hate it when hotels do that - if you've booked - you've booked or they shouldn't have accepted your booking.
I'm glad they've updated you and given you a free room for all the hassle.
It pays to complain!!
Good on you Ed!

Same to you Sabine!

Thank you Lyn.

I have done alot of living for my age, in a good way though.
If I died tomorrow I would be happy with my life- but I'd still like to keep on living the good life.

Wise words from such a young person like you.

Last pics! So proud of my girl because she only placed in 3rd in one event and lost by a hair in the others and came home with a great attitude.

She’s athletic but not competitive if that makes sense. She’s a great soccer player but running distances is not her thang!

There was a lot of kids to compete against.

Congratulations to your daughter and pleased your back didn't cause too many problems for you.
Good luck with the soccer!

We are going to see Bryan Adams in concert soon.

His song ‘18 Til I Die’ contains the line “I’m 18 going on 55”. Last we saw him he had just had his birthday and sang “going on 56” instead

Love Bryan Adams - I've seen him a few times and he never disappoints!
No Gimmicks or flashy sets - just fabulous music!

In the 4 years I have had Lola he has never pooped every day.
Every other day in the summer but in the winter he can wait for over 2 weeks and rarely in his water.
Strange considering his temps all stay the same indoors but the weeds disappear so his diet has to be modified.

Okay, my torts don`t poop every day too.

Finally caught up with all the posts that I missed last night.
I was out with my twin sisters celebrating their birthdays with a lovely meal.
I was the chauffeur so no alcohol for me!!

Lola update:
He is very active and looks great - but appetite is still poor.
He's eaten quite a few dandies and plantains over the last few days but not as many as he would usually do.
He had another dose of his meds this morning and I think there's still one more day left in the bottle.
Passed quite a lot of red/brown urine in his bath which scared the hell out of me but it could be all the dandies.
I tried to retrieve a sample but it was just dispersed and diluted too quickly.
Not heard anything from Bristol vets but will get a CT/MRI next week one way or another.
I think the vet I have been seeing would have to refer somewhere for that as the practices she uses don't have the facilities.
Silly tort will not sit still and bask under his MVB!

How is your Mum Ed?
Are you still planning on moving her to Florida?

 

[Lyn W]

Hey, thanks for asking. I did go band it was nice. Smallish but nice lol.
I've been somewhat down the last couple of days and not done much. I think I over did it a little. Today all I did was go out and eat lunch. Had a couple of drinks.
Note if you are already numb on one whole side and you drink it becomes even harder to walk back even if the amount is not normally enough to impair you.


Here are some of the pics I took. They are not good. View attachment 239787View attachment 239788View attachment 239789View attachment 239790View attachment 239791View attachment 239792View attachment 239793View attachment 239794View attachment 239795View attachment 239796

Good pics.
I know in a way aquariums educate people and some do conservation work but I always feel sorry for the larger species stuck in small spaces.

I must go and some shopping now so will not see you all later.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday!!

How is your Mum Ed?
Are you still planning on moving her to Florida?

No
Her level of care where she is is excellent and I'm affraid that bringing her across state lines might not be as good. Kellys mother had horrible care here .
Also, if I bring her here and my own health continues to decline...Then what?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Come back to us whenever you want to. You are more than welcome Ed.

I know.
And I truly appreciate it.

Well, it's morning here, so I'm going to say, "Good morning, all!" Hope you all have great week-ends.

Both are nice. The sea turtles are beautiful. Is it a shark teeth on the necklace for your niece ?

It is. I hope that she likes it I still got to figure out something for my nephew though. He is a hard one to buy for.

How about a ball cap like the one you bought for yourself?

He does not wear hats. He has extremely think hair. I was going to pick him up a knife but them I remembered I can't take that on the palne.
