Collection Agencies Harassment SOS

2011-09-17T10:34:00.003-04:00

Good Saturday morning readers and interested parties. May I first say that these phone calls I am about to report as harassment, are not FOR me. The variety of bill collection agencies who have called me repeatedly, are calling for OTHER people who happen to have their first names begin with the letter "J" like mine. Since I was granted a final divorce in November 2010, I had to establish

Holy Smokes > The Cost of Anesthesia

2011-08-07T08:23:00.000-04:00

Did you know that I recently had foot surgery; i.e. a sort of bunionectomy on my left foot on July 22, 2011 which was preceded by another bunionectomy on my right foot on April 1, 2011. Oh, and that poor right foot also had Morton's Neuroma surgery on December 17, 2007. Suffice to say that I hopefully now have two good feet to stand on. Have you taken time to actually read my two previous

What a Surprise > It Was the Propofol

2011-07-25T18:34:00.001-04:00

If you have read my previous blog post, Are You Versed in Versed aka Midazolam, Dormicum, and Hypnovel, you'd know that I experienced a severe burning sensation when an agent was introduced into my IV. The anesthesiologist told me that she was injecting Versed and that I might have some burning sensation. However, the most important thing she neglected to mention? Oh, that she would be

Are You Versed in Versed aka Midazolam, Dormicum, and Hypnovel

2011-07-24T10:45:00.003-04:00

Are you versed; i.e., do you know a lot about the benzodiazepine class drug Versed which is commonly used as the first drug for inducing a state of sedation and a definite state of amnesia? I didn't know anything about Versed. Yesterday, for the first time, I was Googling "Versa" because I thought that was the name of the drug. I am not the only person who thought it was "Versa" because I found

The discrimination by credit agencies of a DIVORCED woman

2011-04-10T07:47:00.002-04:00

I am sitting here in my "boldy humble" apartment in Jacksonville, Florida, seriously inhaling somebody's cigarette smoke! Because I wanted to enjoy a little fresh air this morning, before the heat of the day, I opened my patio door. The cigarette smoke didn't overtake me immediately as it was rather early for smokers to be up. But, now that it is after 7am EST, somebody is seriously smoking and

Would you believe that it is difficult to FIND a certain tire?

2011-04-01T07:00:00.001-04:00

As I sit here thinking I really need to jump in the shower and get ready for my foot surgery today, I am penning this blog post! It is thanks to a fellow Squidoo lensmaster Tony in the UK that I think about my pet peeves more often ... these days! I am really more than a little peeved about Tire Kingdom and my Goodyear Eagle Z-rated tires! One in particular ... a 245/40R17. That is the type

It was a rough ride i.e. size matters especially in tires

2011-03-27T08:34:00.000-04:00

It can be quite compelling how life can have its share of rough rides, you know? If you take notice of my last blog post here on "Jaguar Julie Blog On and On ..." you might notice that my very last blog post was penned on July 26, 2010. Perhaps you might think I was off on sabbatical or taking some sort of long-winded vacation? Hmmm? Nope! That was really not the case. On July 9th, my last

Job Opportunity -- Uplifting and Inspiring Rejection Letter Writer

2010-07-26T10:03:00.000-04:00

I'm thinking the job opportunity headline needs to read something like this: Uplifting and Inspiring Rejection Letter Writer Wanted! Why this type of "job opportunity" now? Well ... let me tell you a short story! It starts on a hot July afternoon in Jacksonville, Florida. On July 22, 2010, I commenced my online career search, getting my feet wet, in the local career market here in

Hello Ladies and Interested Men! Holy Purple Cow! Hold those presses and mascara-less eyelashes for COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion mascara!

One of My Inspirations

2010-07-14T07:42:00.000-04:00

Those of you who know me and my writing and topics through the platform of Squidoo probably have seen two of my inspirations who are fellow lensmasters. I've written about Martin Stankewitz, aka editionh, as The Art of Zazzle. You might have seen The Wizard of Zazzle, ah Tickety-Boo that would be the Wizard Scott Morton. Oh, there are other very special Squidoo lensmasters who are an

A Fork in the Road Finally

2010-06-30T10:39:00.000-04:00

So today I am readying myself for "A Fork in the Road, Finally!" Today I am expecting that my neuromuscular massage therapy session will be my last official type PT session under the PIP coverage through my automobile insurance. I also have a final follow-up appointment with my treating physician who has told me that the insurance claims adjuster has been "hounding" her to finalize my treatment

Who IS Listening I Wonder

2010-06-29T10:36:00.000-04:00

Have you ever paused for a moment in your daily lives, in your internet presence, to speculate as to Who is listening to you? Who is reading that message you have put out there? How many of your readership base is totally getting what you are putting out there? Are they maybe "hearing something else?" You know, not hearing what you originally intended for them to hear? Well, I was wondering

What the heck am I talking about?

2010-06-28T16:39:00.000-04:00

Hello people! Have you ever had somebody ask you, "what the heck do you write about?" Or have you asked yourself, "What the heck am I talking about?" Well I just asked myself that. In a creative sense, I've been showcasing on the Topicability Blog the Top 100 Squidoo lensmasters and lenses that are occupying the various topics or categories. You know, you can look at those Top 100 lists day

Why all the tweets on toilet seats oh my!

2010-06-28T11:03:00.000-04:00

Good grief Charlie Brown! I started off thinking I'd see a handful of Twitter tweets on toilet seats and then it kept going and going and going just like that Energizer Bunny, you know? Holy mackerel Andy, but I am all weirded out this morning that SO many people are talking about toilet seats ... and NOT good things either. Sorry, you'll have to search that for yourselves as I am not

Why all the ads for Brussels Sprouts

2010-06-21T17:31:00.000-04:00

Good afternoon everyone! It's about dinner time for us in Jacksonville, Florida. I can smell the aroma of the cajun-spiced roasted whole chicken wafting from the kitchen and have about another hour or so to be subjected to the killer smells. Once a week, I generally prepare a roasted chicken; sometimes it is cajun-spiced and sometimes it is more of a lemon-pepper chicken. Sometimes I will

Who grabbed cut and ate the cheese

2010-06-19T11:02:00.002-04:00

Say people! As Saturdays go, this one started off like any Saturday of recent experience. Hubby is off now going round and round on the golf course with the usual suspects, hitting and chasing that silly white ball over the river and through the woods and into 18 holes. Gosh, what a lovely sport! I think I need to take it up and hit a few balls and knock the crap out of some silly balls ...

What the heck old crow or a blackbird

2010-06-14T14:36:00.000-04:00

What the heck? What the heck old crow or a blackbird? Today, I was looking up on Wikipedia to check out that wonderful reference for a blackbird and I ended up being a little bit MORE curious than I originally thought! You see, when you check that reference, you will find a BUNCH more links to other blackbirds! Next, I looked up the Wikipedia reference for crow as I was thinking that might

What the Old HECK is Trochanteric Bursitis?

2010-06-12T15:04:00.000-04:00

Ah, yes indeed! What the Heck is Trochanteric Bursitis? Oh, it is also known as Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome and that is a huge Oh My! Oh my for me; Oh my for YOU ... some day. Yes, my friends, some day you too can experience the oh no moments of Trochanteric Bursitis! It was Thursday, June 10, 2010 when I first got the diagnosis of Trochanteric Bursitis from my orthopedic doctor, Dr.

What would you do in these circumstances

2010-06-08T10:58:00.000-04:00

In a January 9, 2010 blog post, Reflecting on 2009 -- It was a pain-FULL year for us!, I eluded to some of the difficulties that we had experienced over the past couple of years with, of all people, tenants. A little bit of what I had to say six months ago: It's been a cost to us of some $20,000 plus out of our pockets for non-paying tenants. This has been a really tough "issue" for us as we

Why all the ads for Stuffed Cabbage

2010-06-03T19:19:00.001-04:00

For nearly three years, I have been actively writing and blogging about my favorite comfort food, Stuffed Cabbage. Well before that, I was doing lots of buzzing and sharing of my grandma Julia Nagy's Hungarian recipe for stuffed cabbage rolls as I've always said that her Hungarian stuffed cabbage rolls were the very best! Over at Squidoo, I have been conducting polls and duels debating

Algorithms and long tails oh my!

2010-06-01T16:01:00.000-04:00

You probably didn't know it just by looking at me, but I was a Math and Natural Sciences major when I was enrolled in college, Ohio Northern University to be specific. Yes, looks can be deceiving. You probably thought for sure that I was a fashion major, yes? Ah, that's OK because I do have a keen passion for fashion on many a good day. Well folks! I was directed this afternoon to check out

Articles of Inspiration

2010-05-25T12:16:00.002-04:00

Where do you find inspiration? What inspires you? What inspires you on a daily basis? Recently I was asked about where I derive my inspiration. On May 18, 2010, in Kimberly's Morning Coffee, SquidooKimberly asked, "what inspires you?" My answer at that moment was: "Ah, Kimberly! I first think of a fellow lensmaster, editionh aka Martin, when I think about "what inspires me!" Martin

Olay Simply Ageless speaks to me!

2010-05-24T18:50:00.001-04:00

Oh Joy for COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless! Yes indeed. Over the years, I've been using a variety of Oil of Olay products. Can you imagine my joy when BzzAgent announced recently that a new project was available? A project to try COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless beauty products? Why, I was on it like white is on rice ... or so "they" say. Here is a picture of those beauty products that were
