Bad experience with www.furniturefix.com

Husband asked me to order the slats for sagging furniture as seen on TV.  I went to the website to order.  You have to click through multiple additional offers, and each page is so similar that it appears you didn't move on to the next page.  This entices you to click yes instead of no in order to proceed.  Then, you are not given an opportunity to review your order before it is processed.  I wound up ordering way more than I intended to.  My order does not yet appear in the web based customer support, and the phone base support is not open until Monday.  I intend to cancel on Monday.  This is highly unethical business practice and I will not deal with this company.

Root Canal

Other than a few fillings and an ongoing battle with gum disease, I've had very little problem associated with dental care.  This past Saturday, I had some irritation on the upper left side of my mouth, which I attributed to food particles getting stuck in my gum.  I used the water pik, floss and the proxy brush, but still had the irritation.  On Sunday, I used the water pik full blast and the pain got worse.  On Monday, I went to the dentist for x-rays.  They did not find any cavity, sent me home with instructions to brush gently and rinse with warm salt water, skip flossing & water pik for a few days, and if the pain didn't go away, call them Thursday.  The pain got progressively worse, both hot and cold made it worse, and I couldn't bite down on the left at all.  I went back to the dentist this morning and he did a root canal.  Resting now. 

Tax Software

Once again, I let the Federal and State governments use way too much of my money over the past year.  I am getting a nice refund. Last year, we went to an accountant.  I had used software since 1996; first Turbo Tax, then Tax Cut.  Since we had a major change in our status after mom passed, we thought it was a good idea to use a professional preparer.  Our return is pretty basic, and though we usually itemize, the standard deduction was better for 2009.  This year, I had to decide which software I wanted: Tax Act, Turbo Tax or HR Block at Home (formerly Tax Cut). Each offered a free basic edition, but charged a fee for the state return. In the past, I have used the basic or free online software for the federal return and did the state return by hand.  Several people had recommended Tax Act, which has the lowest cost for the state return.  I found that I could not retrieve any of the Tax Cut returns I had saved on my hard drive without installing the actual program for the year I wished to view (#fail); however, the year I used the online version of Tax Cut, I was able to save a viewable  .pdf version. I won't bother to purchase software again.  HR Block at Home gave me an error that I was not able to correct and would not let me e-file (#fail). Tax Act worked fine until I made some changes, and it would not remove a deduction I knew was incorrect (#fail).  Finally, I used Turbo Tax, which I have not used for years.  I was very pleased with it and I will most likely use Turbo Tax next year.
