Love

Any DODers remember this deal? It was a purchase of bottled water then you sent in the receipt and got a Healing Garden Spa kit. Several DODers wanted to do this but they didn't have Dasani in their area so I bought the water for them and sent the receipts to them. Anywhoo- we sent in for it and got coupons back stating that they ran out of Healing Garden kits. I used my coupons and never gave it a second thought.


DH and I have had a horrible day- our septic tank is full and we called on 10 companies in our area to come take care of it and they couldn't- we are waiting until Monday morning. We went to the gym and we actually went up to the local grocery store to use the restroom. I have also been dealing with some "me" issues- my sister is not speaking to me because I posted a message on this board about her broken engagement. I was angry during the first of the break up which was Memorial Day Weekend and I wanted your advice and help through the situation. I wanted to help and see if any of you have experienced a broken engagement and what my sister's rights were. DOD members are so resourceful plus you are my venting area and I was sitting in Atlanta upset for my sister in Nashville and I was venting my frustration for welcoming this guy into our family and he dumped my sister. I now have my entire family not speaking to me.

So tonight- DH finds this package in our carport and it's from Dasani and it's HUGE- every possible product from Healing Garden. It made my night because I helped other DODers to try to get this deal and I got rewarded. It reminded me that I have a huge heart... I can be a "witch" but I was rewarded for doing something nice to help others.

I know I am rambling but I have really struggled this weekend with people being mad at me when my intentions were good. It was nice to know I did do something good and I got a great freebie out of it... it seemed like Christmas this package was so awesome.

Keep me in your thoughts on Monday- I am headed back to my specialist to see what we will do about the tumor on my adrenal gland. I have done everything he has asked and I am worried- DH and I are stressed right now and the family being mad at me isn't helping. Stress causes this gland to excrete hormones and I don't need that right now.

Good night! I was so excited to get my prize. Now I hope to win at GreetnWin!!

Love my DOD family!

I remember the promo, though I didn't send for it. Glad to hear you received the package! Good things happen to good people. You posted about your sis and her engagement not to gossip, but to ask for info. I think it's wrong of the family to not speak to you and I'm sorry they're behaving that way. Hopefully they'll soon realize you had good intentions.

good luck with your doctor's appointment. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

Thanks Loca

I appreciate your kind words- I am devastated at how my family is being with me. I had the best intentions and I don't need this right now.

Aren't you the one that posted about no foundation?
I can make you laugh- I don't wear foundation at 30 which I am blessed I am great skin-can't stand it... one thing going for me right now. I even got carded for cigarettes for DH last week which made me day!!! HaHa I've been carded for lottery tickets. I won just in the fact I was carded!!!

Also- all the posts about no bra... I have a basket full of books sitting next to the computer and there isn't a day that there isn't one bra sitting in the basket where I slip it off at the end of the day surfing at the computer... I hate them!!!

I will let everyone know that the DR says. My 23 year old sis lectured me in a 5 page letter about how I don't know any of the people on DOD and I beg to differ. I wouldn't have posted the situation if I didn't believe in this site and the friends I have made.

....and there isn't a day that there isn't one bra sitting in the basket where I slip it off at the end of the day surfing at the computer... I hate them!!! damn them! I'll bet it was a MAN who made them.... grrrr lol

sorry You may not personally know anyone here in "real life" but I think that most people here are kind and caring.... there's just no faking that.

Here's an argument you can make, if you don't really know anyone online, then why should it matter that you post here? After all you're not going to see them in your day to day life, so what should it matter?

My point exactly- Thanks Loca

My sister is a singer and she tore me up about posting here but her posters about her concerts can be slapped anywhere. That was my biggest beef about her letter. She is dealing with a ex-fiance that broke off 2 weddings in 2 yrs with less than 2 months to go on each. I am dealing with possibly cancer and I have a perfect marriage- so I know I can't understand her hurt but she was planning the wedding 2 months before she got the ring. But I am the bad guy and Jody- the fiance is great. I just don't get it. My mom betrayed me, my other sister turned on me when I have done 200% for her since her son was born.... which hurts me- we have been trying to have a baby for 3 yrs and I have been exceptional watching my little sis go through what I have wanted for so long and now I am blacklisted from my own "Christian" family. I am just shocked that this has happened- again when my intentions were so good.

I am devastated- I can't win. But I loved my package tonight. Shows I do have a good side... I needed that right now.

Thanks for your responses.

Tracir, I was just reading your post and I just want you to know I will be saying a prayer for you tonight. I hope that your family comes around and that everything turns out good for you regarding your health. I don't know what has come over me lately, but I just feel like the people here on DOD are like family and I don't like to see anything bad happen to them. Good luck with everything.
