Ever Had This Happen?
We were sprucing up our home and decided to order new carpet. I went to a store with a good reputation and a large stock. I chose a sample I liked and ordered it. This was a LOT of carpet, covering a large living room, dining room, stairway and hall.
In due time the carpet was delivered and installed. As I looked at I began to wonder how I had chosen such cheap looking carpet, but decided I'd have to live with it. Then one day i remembered that I still had the sample from which I had ordered. I found the sample. Lo and behold! It wasn't the carpet on our floors.
I took the sample to the store and they agreed that it was the wrong carpet and reordered it, agreeing to remove what we had and reinstall the correct one.
In due time the truck arrived with my new order. I asked to look at it before they unloaded it. It was the same carpet that had been installed!!! So--back it went to the store.
I went to the store and chose a very different carpet which was delivered and installed. The store bent over backwards to make it right-discount, gift certificate, etc. Actually it probably wasn't their fault that the number on the sample was wrong.
Have you had an experience like that?

Do chicks ever really die from PBS?
Comments (9)My mother in law and I used to hatch out the eggs from her own chickens, since none of her chickens seemed to want to sit there long enough to hatch them out. we have had several get the PBS, and only one or two died, but I think it was more due to the fact that they were already weak. We used to use a warm really wet wash cloth and hold the chick in it until it got too cool, then switch with another warm cloth, and very slowly it would crust off, some, though would never come off. and we always tried to catch it before it got to cakey. We didn't have a whole lot of experience, probably 75 chicks in all that we hatched out from incubator. This includes about 20 ducks.which don't seem to be effected by PBS, Another thing we did, was we would make sure and change the paper at least three to four times a day, to prevent the chicks from sitting in their poop, which only makes matters worse. Hope this helps...See MoreHave You Ever Had This Happen?

Comments (59)This happened to me years ago and although it’s an old thread, I wanted to comment in case it help anyone. I experienced the same symptoms as most on this thread- I went to see all kinds of specialists but when I finally went to my general doctor, he fixed me. Literally made a difference in 15 min. He is a general practitioner but also certified to do manipulations which is different than a chiropractor. He did tests to see if I may have MS or carpel tunnel. But those target specific fingers. He then made me stand up and checked my back. BOOM! I had three ribs out of place. Finally after 6+ months of my right hand tingling and bruising, I had an answer. Dislocated ribs sometimes don’t cause pain BUT if they pinch the right nerve, it can cause all the symptoms to your arm and fingers. Popped blood vessels etc. he adjusted me (again, different from a chiropractor) and within 15 min I felt relief in my arm hand and fingers. Now, anytime I feel tingling, I go see him and sure enough, my rib is out. People can displace ribs with a sneeze. Sometimes it causes pain and other times you can’t even tell. A miracle for me....See MoreHave you had special FaceBook things happen?
Comments (1)Some fun things, have reunited with lots of relatives, which is great. Still searching for my childhood best friend, tho I did hear from a boy who was one of my best friends in elementary school! Guess since he's my age, he's not a boy any longer! I DID hear from my long-lost deadbeat ex-husband, which shocked me. In retrospect, I think it was his wife hiding under his profile, but in any event, it finally gave me closure to have a brief conversation with him. My kids were weirded out a bit, they've not had any contact with him in over 20 years, but they also seemed to get closure. So I guess that was a special thing....See More- 6 years ago
