PAGE SIX "WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS" DANCE:

At the beginning of January, one of my staff was out on medical leave for three weeks or so.  She had a goiter and had to have her thyroid removed.  When she was cleared to come back to work, she got a sinus infection!  She was out again for a few days but that developed into a really bad cold, and now she's off for ANOTHER two weeks because of her weakened condition.  And when I got to work today, we found out that HER APARTMENT BUILDING CAUGHT ON FIRE LAST NIGHT!! 

:o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o   :o

They had to cut a hole in her roof to stop the fire that was spreading almost to her unit.  Fortunately, the only real damage other than from smoke (which may not be too bad) was water damage to an overstuffed chair and some shelves and the contents at her front entrance.  Her building is condemned, but the management company was able to get her a new apartment in another building in the same complex.  For the next couple of days, they're putting her up in an extended-stay motel.  She's not sure when she can get her stuff out.  At least the management company will have her bed and larger pieces moved, so she doesn't have to worry about that.

Hi all~  I know it's been awhile since I've posted but I have some news to share.

I am going to to flown the NYC next Tuesday to be on the Anderson Cooper Show!  It will be a very quick trip.  Just over night but I'm super excited and a bit scared.  I'm going to be talking about what happened with Turner Construction of Central Florida.

Great to see you. Will the show air that night? Or will it be edited for broadcast at a later date.

I never expected it.  I got an email that said "Please help me"  I thought it was a scam and almost deleted it.  I opened it for what ever reason and saw it was MY email to Angies List.  Angie (not the owner but an employee) said that she had been contacted by a show to talk about scam contracters and she wanted to know if I would be interested.  I thought it was a local show show so I answered her and said I would.  Next she had me call her and that's when she told me it would be in NYC and who's show it was.  I almost fell off my seat!!

When she told me they would pay for the trip, I said "Yes!!!"

I need to leave work and go to my parents' house to give my dad a couple of DVDs that I burned for him.  I'll just have time to drop them off because I have a show tonight!

Be back later!

I think the show will air fairly soon after the taping--he seems to be very current with events.  I'm sure they will tell me and i will pass it on.

Hi Danise.  This is exciting.  Are they also picking up the tab for your hotel room?  I hope they have some clout to help you get some of your money back.

It will be a quick trip.  Up on Tuesday back on Wednesday night but I asked for the early flight up and the latest flight back.  Maybe some of the NY DR's could meet for dinner on Wednesday?  I don't know where I'm staying yet. 

The producer I spoke with today was asking me questions like what kind of seat did I prefer on the plane (I said window) and did I have any medical conditions they needed to be aware of.  Stuff like that.

This is great DR Danise!  It will be fun for you even if it is one night.  You can travel light too with just a carry on.  What time will you tape the show?

I don't know if they are going to help me.  I'm thinking it's more of a chance for me to tell what happened to me so others won't make the same kind of mistake.  No one has said anything about doing anything.  But it's a free trip to NY so I'm ahead of the game! :)

I don't know all the details yet.  I just know I fly up on Tuesday and the tapping will be Wednesday but I don't know what time.  I don't even know what hotel I'm staying at yet or the flight times.  I asked to go up early and stay late the next night so I would have some time to walk around TS and maybe see my NY friends.

I've been wanting to tell everyone about this for a couple of weeks but I kept quiet because I wasn't 100% sure it would happen.  They kept setting up dates and then pushing it back.  This is the first time they started talking about a date and plane tickets, what time would be good for me to come up, etc.

It sounds like you will have free time on Tuesday night if your flight is on time.
