I haven't. When I finally get access to a phone it's usually too late to call. x_x No, there isn't one nearby. :(Quote:

Hoping I don't get my head chopped off for asking this question - but here goes.
There is no phone available - is that what you're saying? What would happen if one of the people in the home got sick, and needed help? How would you call for this help? What if there was a fire?
Not a head-chopped off type of question.Quote:

Then please ask your mother to call the Vet for you - and make an appointment for Giz. I would do that for my child, if asked.
Are you still going to school - meaning has your summer vacation started? If you are, then you could call yourself, from a pay phone at school or near it.
My mom refuses to do it for me, I've already asked her. T_T As much as she hates Gizzie you would think she'd want her calm..Quote:

Guys - I am trapped on dialup with old browsers til next Thursday. I have tried to find a website/email addy for Robinson Animal Hospital - and have had a LOT of trouble doing searches on my mom's computer.
Please can someone else do this? I have tried and can't. All my Robinson docs are at my place, and I am staying with my mom til next week.
TY
Why don't one of you helping with this venture simply call the Vet's office on Tuesday, and ask for their email address? Then post it here for Briana to see. Then she can email them.
These are her pets, and she should be making arrangements - IMHO.
I will. Give me the number. Since i have High Speed Internet i can call and stay on here at the same time.
EDIT: Is this the place:http://www.robinsonhospitalforanimals.com/
Their number is (423)-928-1616 They're not open today, they may not be open tomorrow.Quote:

And no, that's not the place, I don't live in Illinois, lol.
I found there web page, but it says that it cannot get to it. Heres the link:http://www.rahvet.net/index.html
If you can't even call to find out about the money, how are you going to call to set up a spay? Just call them from a friend's house, or a pay phone at the mall. You managed to get out to see POTC, I'm sure you can find a phone. Have one of your friends call for you.
OK, someone else needs to call them because i dont have all of the details they ask for.
I agree with Vela.Calling form a pay phone would be a great idea.
My mom would set up the spay, she just won't call about the fund for me. I don't go to my friend's houses when my mom's not here most of the time, and as I said there are no pay phones nearby.. and when I do have access to the phones, it is always too late to call.
Reggie, what details did they ask for?
Well at least someone else will benefit from the money donated if your mom can't even be bothered to call. Too bad though =(
Is it just me or do we seem to be going around in circles? :rolleyes:
yup -Quote:

I just don't understand.
Don't understand.
soooo she wouldn't go into work until like 1pm or 2pm right?Quote:

very very very :confused:
The only way prepay would matter is if the phone is one of those with 4 buttons, that can be programmed as numbers, and you can't call anything else. Otherwise, being prepaid or not doesn't make any difference. If you can call your grandpa, ask him to call the clinic. You also said your mom didn't have a steady job again, in that other thread, and that's why you needed help. She can't be gone from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every sngle day or youd have plenty of money. I'm sure there is SOME time in there you can call.
I don't think that's it either. That one comes up as being in Pennsylvania. Catty1, does the animal hospital definitely have a Web page? I did find this address on yellowpages.com by searching with the phone number.Quote:

... and here it all goes again. As said before, please take your "concerns" to PM so we don't spam up this thread with another argument..
I don't have control over what my mom does, so I don't see what the heck you're thinking about going around in circles.
Yes, my mom would drive me to the vet..
She goes into work at 12:30 - 1 and I am usually asleep, because I' mon summer vacation. I prefer, as well as my mom prefers, for me not to use my phone for personal calls. It's only for the use of keeping in touch with my mom and grandpa when I'm home alone.
I can't ask my grandpa, because he doesn't know about most of our animals. It's a long story, and I don't feel like getting into it.. It's also another one of my mom's decisions that he doesn't know.
You have people on the internet PAYING for your pets vet bills and you can't even take the time to call the vet because it would be a "personal" phone call? Oh, and you can't use your mom's phone because you want to sleep in. Absolutely ridiculous.
Of course, you sure seem to be able to make time and have money to see POTC twice (there's $14-$20 you could have used for your pets). You should be ashamed of yourself. It's nice to get help sometimes, but you've got to learn to help yourself too. Grow up and put some effort into this, its the least you can do.
I REFUSE to take this to PM b/c people need to see what is going on with you and the situation.
I work 2nd shift myself, I get off @ 11:30pm - usually work out afterward so that puts me home around midnite or after -
I'm usually up until anywhere from 2am-4am -
so believe me I understand sleeping in -
sleeping until noon or 1 isn't any big thing to me.
BUT it is LUDICROUS that you can't drag your butt out of bed to make a 5 minute phone call.

You are LAZY and don't deserve pets if you can't even get out of bed to make a phone call! I can't even beleive you honestly just said that. I don't care if you hate me, that has got to be one of the most selfish self centered things I have ever heard in my LIFE. You don't even DESERVE anyone to help you if you can't get your self out of bed to make a call....disgusting.
I guess your pets aren't PERSONAL enough for you to call about??? but you want others to pay long distance charges to call FOR you????
and with the people that have poured their heart and soul into helping you? you SHOULD be ashamed
ASHAMED..
Wow, Bre. I just wanted to say I agree with everything that Amy, and others have said 100%.Quote:

It would be an idea to email the Banfield vet, but their inboxes always seem to be very clogged.
If someone would just call and ask for an email address, this would be very simple. I might use my phone for it. I am home Thursday afternoon. I don't feel right using my mom's phone for this.
Bri - get out of bed before your mom goes to work and call. Once the appointment is made, then you can go back to bed, ok?
And if you can get an email address for them for lvpets and others to use (pm) that would be very helpful. We need a bit of help too - and you are the perfect person to help us. Make the appointment.
Thanks, hon!
AND THIS THREAD IS TURNING INTO AN ARGUMENT AGAIN.
And I am absolutely done with PT. I'm tired of being bitched at. I'm tired of coming on here every day to fighting and I'm tired of people accusing me of being selfish when they don't know me.
It would help if my mother would wake me up, but I guess none of you consider that and you just all want to jump to conclusions. And now you're probably going to go, oh set an alarm, blah blah. Well, I don't own an alarm clock because my mom usually gets me out of bed, and since now it's summer, she doesn't bother. And probably getting bitched at more for that.
I will keep in contact with people who are helping me with this fund, but that's it and I am officially done and tired of all the chaos that has been going on here lately.
I don't care how ashamed you all are of me and your opinions really don't matter whatsoever.
And that is certainly not directed toward Catty1, Michelle, Helene, or anybody else who has said these things nicely.
And I am not answering anymore questions.
I will somehow get them called, or make my mom call them, and then I will PM the people involved in this with the information.
The rest of you? I'm keeping my mouth shut before you accuse me of being rude again.
Bri - Check your cell phone and see if it doesn't have an alarm clock function. (Mine does.) When you call to set your appointment, please ask the veterinarian's office for their E-mail address. I agree with Catty1 - we need a bit of help here and you're the perfect person to help us.Quote:

Okay guys just calm down. I can see that you guys are angry but some of the comments made are just a bit overboard. Bri can't help it if she doesn't wake up and as Reggie said, it's hard to change your mother's rules.
I think Bri knows she has to get up in the morning, but it may be hard for her to do that. I'm sure she tries to but it isn't that easy for some people to get out of bed, no matter how hard they try. I tried to wake my brother up today at around 12 and he just wouldn't get out of bed. I tried three or four times and he just wouldn't get out of bed. He has an alarm clock as well and he still wouldn't get out of bed. I bet this is how Bri is, a very heavy sleeper. I'm thinking the only way for her to wake up in time to call is by pulling an all-nighter and not going to sleep at all.
I am a heavy sleeper too and all of this just gets on my bad side.
good gracious. knock it off guys, this is why I don't feel PT is my home anymore. friends are friends. and now, who cares and gonna chop my head off again? :mad:
some people can be just plainly rude and I can't be? YOU should be ashamed of yourself.
set up your own fund if you want one too. bursting out jealousy or critically is not going to help gizzy, or others, at all. all we are doing is to hurt the community and animals more. I'm not sure how complaining that I, only me, have been supporting myself and all of my 14+ animals since I was 14 is going to get gizzy and others their treatments. euthanization, maybe.
people are different. not all of people, teenagers or young adults simply understand how lucky they are, afterall living in poverty with a poor parent. and deal with it.
bre, I understand how upset you are - can you just go ahead and try and ask your mother to wake you up for once to make a call for you.. for us, please? sorry I can't help anymore here.
any suspecious questions, should be PM'd to her/him, s/he'll less likely be defensive there then you'll probably get the answer you want. because we all know most posters here, this thread only gets ugly - would post just because "they posted".
don't disappoint me. u_u
Okay, I vowed to myself I wouldn't say anything, but I just have to say something.
I have been reading all through the posts in regards to this situation.
I've noted that whenever advice or suggestions were given to Bri, there was always one excuse after another, as to why this or that couldn't be done by her.
I don't see any arguments going on at all, just people giving their opinion on what is or is not going on and as far as I'm concerned, people are entitled to their opinions, no matter if we agree with them or not.
I for one, agree with most of what has been said and yes, at times this was getting very confusing. Even if Bri is a heavy sleeper, if she is so darn concerned about her animals, then she should get out of bed and do her part and not expect everyone else to do it for her.
People have gone out of their way to help out and when people voice their opinions, she gets annoyed. To me, that says the truth hurts.
Most of us here on PT would go beyond the call of duty to do what they can for their animals, so when someone starts making one excuse after another, it makes us wonder where that persons priorities are.
Just my opinion people.
Well, not to insult you or anything, but, If you dont want to say somthing good, dont say it.
How dare you say that to rg_girlca. After all she has personally done for stray animals, and never asked for anything but a prayer in return.Quote:

I've been to hell and back with my pets, and I've fought my mother many times over my pets. She is the adult, I am the teenager. Her decision rules over mine, and I can't always get my way no matter how much I plead and beg. Take Roxy for instance.
Don't even go accuse me of where my priorities lie. As said, I've been through hell with my animals, and most of my arguments with my mother consist of them.
My priorities are them, and these "excuses" as you call them, are just the truth of what's going on. I don't control my mother, I only control myself, and if I say the slightest thing wrong, another one of these "opinion sessions" as you think they are start.
It's funny how when someone else is having financial trouble you'll rush to their side, but if I start asking for help because my mother won't do anything, you all start "opinionating" like crazy on me, especially when none of you personally know me.
Can't say I am surprised by any of this. This has just been beyond ridiculous from the start and if I was in her shoes I'd be completely ashamed of myself.
It's about being responsible and having your priorities straight. Something this kid is never going to learn, especially if she's getting these handouts.
Amy had to spend $300 something, unplanned, on emergency vet bills while we were there, do you see her asking for handouts? Nope! She may have to give a bit up and save her dollars, but that's the responsibility we obtain when bringing a pet into our homes.
Vela, Amy, Staci, well said as always.
And, there's no reason for anyone to swear, especially some kid.
maybe she wasn't the one who brought roxy, gizzy or others in?
so, will you, bre?
