An update to this and that.......

Mom is in a lot of pain today so I will keep this short as she needs me close by to make her feel better. I apologize for not being able to visit everyone's bloggies - I hope you will understand.

Wuzster (Denny) has an infection in BOTH ears - the vet thinks it's probably allergies causing it - that is NOT something Mom wanted to hear. He has some drops Mom has to put in his ears for the next four days and hopefully that will help.

The storm shelter people came by this morning and took away all the stuff they had delivered last week. They said they were so far behind it could be another 1-2 weeks before they could get it installed and Dad had told them if they couldn't install by today he wanted a refund as we had already been waiting over a week, plus we had given 2 weeks advance notice of when we wanted it in - so they had 3 weeks and they clearly stated they would have no problem installing it in the week we had asked for. Mom asked if they they had installed any last week and the guy said they had done 9 so she asked why ours wasn't one of them and the guy couldn't answer. Mom is wondering what the 'preference order' was for doing them because it obviously isn't on a first come first served basis. Sigh - for some reason this attitude is VERY prevalent in the businesses here and both Mom and Dad say they have never had problems getting things built or repaired like this in other places they have lived.

Okay - Mom needs me, it might be a few days before I can post again but we will still reading about what everyone is up to.

  3. Hugs to Mom - we so hope she is feeling better soon. That is terrible about your storm shelter. Maybe with that and all the allergies, you all ought to move somewhere else. Hope you can get it all sorted out. And Denny, get those ears fixed and please don't let it be allergies. Mom had a Golden once who had lots and lots of ear infections. Someone told her to add some oil to his kibble and when she did, he stopped getting those infections. Who knows if it helped or not?

  5. Awwww Reilly...sounds like a stressful time for you and your Mom and for Denny too! Maybe he got an ear infection so that he was more like YOU? You know he looks up to you so much! I hope things get better for all of you real soon.

  8. Hope you feel better soon!! I know when we had the roof done, Mommy purposely looked for a place that was accredited with the Better Business Bureau and had a high mark. Mommy thinks it's so hard not being married and trying to get repairs done to the house! She doesn't think some businesses take her seriously sometimes! Mommy constantly said the words BBB over a phone conversation when they didn't show up the day they were supposed to. Mommy is sure mentioning the BBB to them helped speed them along to fix our roof. Mommy didn't threaten to call the BBB or anything, but she kept mentioning how she knew their rating and how long they've been accredited for, etc, you know, did a little research to really stick it to them over the phone to get them to hurry up!

  10. Sending prayers to your mom through the ethers! Hope she feels much better soon. What a hassle you all are having with the storm shelter. I agree and think it's wise to get your money back and start over with someone who seems more responsible. Hope Denny's ears get better very quickly. You need to feel better too! Holding good thoughts for all of you.

  12. Them tornadoes are horrible things. We heard the March 2 tornado and felt our house creak.
    We were lucky just broken windows and a major scratch on the car.
    A lot of debris fell from the sky. Three miles from us major destruction. We were in a corner of our basement. Lee tied me to her. So we would say have patience and get the work done if they are the only people you can get to do the work.
    Hope you feel better soon.

  16. Sorry your mom isn't feeling well. Why is it that some businesses don't seem to think it's important to keep your word?
