Had a nice time at the center yesterday. Lots of good conversation and a great Wellness class. However, I noticed that the facilitator had trouble holding group on subject and bringing them back to the topic when they veer off. For example, yesterday's topic was memory loss and aging, a very important topic. But then one of the group members started talking about how she doesn't know how to get rid of an aerosol can, does she put it in the garbage or what, and the facilitator went with it. The member went on and on about how she has so much stuff to clear out, and it was a good 15 minutes before the facilitator brought it back to the original topic...which was very important to all of us.
Lunch was outrageously good, and I don't know how I managed to only eat half and save the rest for dinner. Awesome Southern food--barbecued pork chop, mac and cheese, and collard greens. So, so yummy. I am determined to lose that .6 before Thursday. When I was younger, it was so easy, but now at 72, the weight just wants to sit there.
Do not ever order from Amerimark. I ordered a back brace and a few other health items from them awhile back. I pay my bills online and could not understand why each month my bill went up. They don't show interest and such, only payment due and what is owed. Finally I called and discovered that, without my consent they had enrolled me in two different programs which were charging me $15 a month. Boy did I raise hell. Accused them of deceptive practices and advised that I would get a lawyer. They immediately cancelled and refunded $92 of my money. A lesson learned. Keep more on top of things.
It's going to be a long day today. Computer class in the morning and in the afternoon we are having the monthly party. Hoping I feel good enough to get some dancing in.
Have a good one.
Glad you laid down the law to Amerimark and got your money back. Such deceitful pracrices are scandalous. Good for you for double-checking your bills!
ReplyDeleteI could not understand why my bill kept rising.
DeleteI hate when companies do that! Glad you addressed it.
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of facilitators like that-drives me crazy. xo Diana
One has to be so careful nowadays.
DeleteSome companies are just scoundrels! I’m glad you caught it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI only wish I had caught it sooner.
DeleteI am glad that you caught it, and that they backed down. I suspect that money was very, very welcome to you.
ReplyDeleteLove your earrings.
Sigh at the inept facilitator.
Definitely much needed refund.
DeleteSo many ways to scam people and mostly it is the elderly that are targeted! They think we are to stupid to catch them at their sneaky game...but you proved them wrong!!! Good for You Mary!
ReplyDeleteLove those earrings that you made...lovely~
Exactly. They said it was done with a phone call. I told them no one ever called me.
DeleteWell done for taking on that company. It's such a shame, but we all have to be extra careful and check everything these days.
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings you've made.
All the best Jan
They just enrolled me into these two plans without even asking. Shame on them.
DeleteSo glad you caught what they were doing and got it taken care of!!
ReplyDeleteWe have some dangerous heat coming in next week, some triple digits. I'm so ready for Fall!!
Be careful with that heat.
Those earrings are so lovely. Makes me want to try stringing beads for bracelets again.
