It Pays to do a Little Research, and Giveaway Ends Soon

It pays to do a little research. Last week our Samsung LCD TV started taking a very long time to turn on. The first day it took about 20 minuets, the next day about 45, the next day an hour and a half, the next day 2 1/2 hours, and then nothing but a black screen. It was trying to turn on...but nothing. On Friday I went to the Samsung website but couldn't find any advice on what the problem was or how to fix it. Saturday Hubby said lets go get a new TV today. We figured we would get a new one for the living room and try to find someone to look at the Samsung and see if it was worth fixing for the game room . Before we went I decided to google Samsung LCD TV won't turn on and waalaa!!! I found an article. It turns out that thousands of people were having the same problem for the past few years. It’s caused by apparently defective capacitors that help store energy to smoothly operate the televisions. Each capacitor is relatively inexpensive, about $5 a piece. But if it’s defective it can overheat and shut down your TV. After lots of complaints to Samsung they decided to offer a one time free fix for the problem. And right there in the article was an 800 number to call to see if you qualify for the free fix. You had to have a model that was manufactured between 2006 through 2008. Ours was manufactured in 2008. So they arranged for a local repair service to come and fix it for free. YAY!!! So do your research...it may pay off!

Thanks @drugstoredotcom, GI Appointment, and ipad2 giveaway

This post is a Thanks @drugstoredotcom, GI Appointment, and ipad2 giveaway all rolled into one so if you are here for the giveaway see below.

First I want to thank @drugstoredotcom for the recent giveaway and the prize they sent me. I got it yesterday



Its going to be a hot gift for my valentine!!!

Yesterday I also had my 6 month follow up with my GI (after the horrible allergic reaction to the sulfasalizine). I haven't been on any Crohns medication for the past 6 months and I've been doing well mainly (I believe) because I've been being very good about sticking to my gluten free/dairy free diet. He is pleased with how well I'm doing without drugs so I am going to continue to just watch my diet. We do have to keep an eye on the area where I had my resection. This area has been inflamed and the scaring has caused a narrowing at the connection spot. So the good news is unless I have a problem I don't have to have another colonoscopy till 2014 YAY!!! The bad news is that if the area does get worse and does not respond to medication I may have to have surgery :(

Now the giveaway details:

A Wonderful Wonderful Day

Guess what I did yesterday!!!

I played in a fort made of dining room chairs and blankets with my beautiful niece PenPen!!! I loved every second in that fort with P, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, a monkey, and occasionally her dog. It brought back wonderful memories of forts with my boys.
We ran around the house pretending to be a train and played ring around the rosie while her mommy made gluten free bread and short bread for me. Yum!!!
We were joined by my sis C and niece S for lunch. It was a wonderful wonderful day.
Of course I forgot to take my camera so I have no pictures to share :(
Next time!
