This is why I don’t order out! (Pizza Hut in Tyler, Texas on Broadway)
Posted on September 9, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralTime is of the exsense! I don’t know about you but I really don’t have time to waste when it come down to taking care of business. I am mother of three, I work full time, I go to school and I have a ton of other things to do and web-sites to maintain. So, when I get off of work I am ready to get some well needed things done and feeding my children is one of them!
Okay, it is your typical Monday right, normally we try to get together and have a great family night even though I have other things to do you always have to take time out for family. Before I started on my school work I needed to take care of my home first. My husband had a meeting a 6 so my plan was to pick up dinner while he is in his meeting and then we can all make it home in time to eat and I can start on my school work as soon as possible…
That is not how it panned out to be. I got the ad for Pizza Hut in a email yesterday so I felt like since I can get 20% off I would order online. I am all about saving money! Last week we tried the pasta bakes when we were with some family in Dallas, they were really good. So, I decided to order the kids some Chicken Alfredo… Well, placed the order order 5:50-ish. Check out, they said my food would be ready in approxiametly 14 minutes after they received the order and they gave me the time of 6:09. I said cool, about time I make it over the food should be ready. So, as I am walking out the door the phone rings… It’s Pizza Hut, “we are out of Alfredo sauce and chicken, so you can chose another pasta dish” So, children so I choose Mac and Cheese, can’t go wrong there, right!
Got to the pizza place, paid for my order, the receipt said 17:56 (5:56pm), she told me that it would be a few minutes so I said okay. I went back to the car and of course the kids where very hungry, irritated and impatient at this point. So I waited while watching through the front to see when they would be through with my order. I seen people come in order and leave…. You know the feeling when someone orders after you and they get your food before you get yours… They kids knew people were coming and leaving.
Why me, why this day? About 6:15, I went in to check on the food again. Still no food, I went back to the car…… About 6:35, I went back into the store at this time she said, you sure you didn’t order to-go. I said I am positive. I have been sitting here waiting on this time, my receipt says CARRYOUT as plain as day. They look for my ticket, couldn’t find it. They look for my food, didn’t even know what I ordered… they ask for my receipt.. and then look for my food. About 6:40, I finally got my order it was all over the kitchen. My pasta was on top of the oven my pizza was somewhere else and the breadsticks were on another counter. All she could say was “I am so sorry for your inconvenience.” That doesn’t cut it for me, I am sorry…..
Since they didn’t appear to have good business ethics why should I waste more time with them explaining. Obviously if they didn’t try to do anything more to make up for all the time I wasted waiting on them, it would be a waste of time to even express my concerns. So I express my experience.
To everyone that reads this post that is in the Tyler, TX area…. Do not, I repeat DO NOT trust PIZZA HUT ON BROADWAY that is 1817 S Broadway, Tyler, Texas 75701, 903-597-9797, they are a huge WASTE OF TIME!! And Pizza Hut website states that they are rated #1 in customer satisfaction, NOT THIS CUSTOMER! You don’t have to worry about tme ordering from them.
Oh… and how was the quality of my food? The mac n’ cheese would have turned that really good if it was FRESH. Since my food had been ready and just sitting around… wasn’t even in a heating bad and my pizza…. Let me stop writing about this for I really get mad.

What is the secret to potty training?
Posted on September 8, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralOkay this is number three! Why in the world it is so hard for me to get this kid perfectly potty trained? I have three kids and Xavier is the smallest and the youngest. I have to admit he is certainly a heart breaker and I just love to see him learned in engage himself in new things. But…. even though he has the cutest face he has plenty of attitude! I tell you it has been almost two years with the potty train battle. He started showing me signs that he was ready, or I thought he was ready, from about the age of 1. He would make signs and tell me that he had to potty and he was actually on a great road until he realize that he could be lazy around some and I am kind of hard on him. Now that he is almost three, I am not taking no for an answer. I keep telling myself, I refuse to buy another pack of pull-ups…. but, I find myself in Wal-mart or CVS in need of a pack.See, my other son was not this difficult, he saw and he went. Xavier tell you he has to go and he will go for about a week. As soon as you put regular underwear he wets and messes all over himself as if he has no training at all. Then he begs and pleads to wear real underwear because he notices the difference. The characters on the underwear are not enough to set him straight. Nether is the cool-alert with the pull-ups. He could care less about a cool-alert.
Oh, if you ask him why did he go on his self… he says… because….. then i say, now what do you suppose to do when you have to go, he says go to the potty.. but yet he sometimes refuses…. This is truly a work! Once I get this baby out of pull-ups, it will be so lovely!!

Did you check out Nightline NBC?
Posted on September 7, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralMSNBC, Night-line news today viewed a report story on online credit card identity theft. Orders being purchased on line using stolen credit cards….
I found this story very interesting in fact, very scary! The Nigerian, African, Switzerland, etc scams are no joke. What started as an online relationship is really an identify theft scam. People that were under the impression that they were in a relationship and assumable engaged to people online is everything but a relationship but a scam. You should check out Night-line news for the next showing of this story or maybe you can view it online. It would be good for many people to try to learned more about identify theft.
The scary part is, it is unstoppable! Most Identity thieves are in other countries, the US can not arrest them and many of the small countries do not have the funds to go after these criminals. Even though Night-line news came face to face with a thieve, they could not take any legal action.
SCARY THOUGHT! Identity theft is NO JOKE! After seeing the story last night I really do see the importance of getting ID Theft protection, so I recommend that you sign up with:

Have you gotten your free annual credit report?
Posted on September 3, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralYou can get a free annual credit report from all three credit bureau’s once a year. This does not include seeing your FICO score. Viewing your credit once a year does not hurt your credit score ratings at all.
You may be offered to view your FICO score at a small price, such as $7.95 for one time. Make sure it says FICO because their is another scoring system called Vantage Score, which scores higher than FICO. So, don’t be fooled. The Vantage Score is totally legit, but it is not the scoring system that most consumers used. So, make sure you are getting your money worth when viewing your credit score by selecting the “FICO” score.
You should check your credit to for accuracy. If you don’t agree with items on your credit report, you should dispute them. The credit bereaus have simple ways to dispute items, there are no long drawn out forms to fill out just simply click “dispute this item” when viewing your credit score through the agencies.
Go get your free credit report! https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

I cancelled my proactiv subscription…..
Posted on September 2, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralOkay.. I recently told you how proactiv works, the end results are I cancelled my subscription. First it started out with the trail period, in which they give one month worth of proactiv for $19.95 plus shipping and handling. I was amazed at how smooth my face was within the first couple of weeks. But, once you skip a couple of days the acne comes back stronger and more painful. Most of us have the bad habit of bursting pimples, but these pimples are impossible to burst. It is like it is all underneathe your skin and never come to a head… So, I was about to cancel my subscription until I found that they had an extra strength formula. So, I tried it and it continued to keep the acne off my face. But proactiv is no fight for mother nature! As a women when your body goes through the changing of dealing with hormones, as for me proactiv loses the battle! But it was not as bad as what it use to be. Proactiv did not give me the results that I was looking for. When I seen the results of Jessica Simpson and P-Diddy and how clear and clean their skin appeared to be I just knew that it would clear up some facial scars after at least six months into it.
Well, it has been nine months and even though my skin in more free of acne, blemishes does not just disappear. Besides I seen P-Diddy on the last season of making the band and the night he made the band he had a huge pimple that was clearly recognizable on camera. So, if he still using proactiv, it doesn’t make the acne stop it just makes causes fewer breakouts.
