Finally.....

The doctor finally called me this afternoon and let us know that everything is fine with Hannah. He said if she ever starts having leg weakness that they would check it again. So we are relieved!! I doubt she will ever have weakness in her legs. She exercises them enough! Thank you for your prayers!

Now is my time to get on my soap box! I hate Walmart. If they were not so cheap I would never go there again. I have had many bad experiences there, especially the one in Adamsville. Today I went (after giving up on the doctor to call me. I figured they could leave a message) and I had a huge grocery bill. I hadn't been to the store in about a month, so we were out of EVERYTHING. I get through the check out line and the debit card machine was not working right. So I told the cashier that I could pay with a check. A few months ago I tried to write a check and it was rejected because there was an error. Somehow my drivers license # ended up on a bad check - a teller's mistake. Anyway, I thought it had been taken care of, but apparently it has not. It rejected my check. So, I told the cashier that she would have to get the debit card to work because I was not leaving the groceries. (I had to do that the last time and I was not going to do that again!) I had been to the bank right before I came in there and I knew there was money in the account. Anyway, she got the debit card to work. Now I need to call Walmart to find out what is going on. I will do that tomorrow.

Then as I am leaving the man at the door stops me to see my receipt because I have toilet paper and paper towels not in a bag. I will let you know that this is a pet peeve of mine. I know people steal, but seriously do you have to check my receipt! I have stood in line and spent a lot of money to be treated like a criminal! It is frustrating and I was in a bad mood after not hearing from the doctor this morning and then the check episode. So, I looked at the man and say "If I had stolen this don't you think the alarm would have gone off?" He said, "Not necessarily." Would someone please tell me why they have them? He said "we aren't checking you but we are checking to make sure the cashier didn't miss anything." He gave me my receipt and I went on my way. However, I really wanted to ask him if the items weren't on my receipt would he have called security since it would be a cashier's mistake. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I have seen people walk out with stuff you could tell they had stolen and no one bothered to stop them. I know it is sad that they have so much crime that they have to treat everyone like a criminal, but I am a paying customer. Anyway, I will get off my soap box. I am in a better mood now! :0)

I am glad to hear about Hannah :) and I have had plenty of run ins at Wal-Mart myself...I think we should boycott...in fact most of the time I use Food World now just because I can't stand all the Wal-Mart Drama!

That's wonderful news about Hannah.

Yea, if I can help it, I go to Target or Food World myself. I hate Wal-Mart.

I am glad to hear that Hannah is ok. She is certainly a little kicker...maybe she will be a soccer player or a swimmer. It makes me so mad to stand in line at Walmart and then have to show my receipt. Do they really think I would stand in line for 25 minutes just to still a $5 case of water? Give me a break!
