About Me

Every now and then I go to review sites and post reviews of places I've been to, whether in person, online stores, or both of those. Whether it be a good review or a bad review. I believe the public has a right to know what to expect when they go there. As of September 2017 I started coming to SiteJabber to post reviews as well and am glad I did. Please read through all my reviews, I think you'll find them interesting.

Interests

I love animals, Facebooking, surfing the internet, movies, etc.

Keep having bad experiences with them. Even though the people are nice during the time of your appointment, they put other serious matters on hold sometimes. And sometimes don't get back to you, that includes if you call their emergency services line to have a dentist call you. Their emergency services line sucks. When calling the corporate office to complain you are directed to patient services, buy patient services people are only there a few SHORT hours of the day. These Aspen Dental websites only post the good reviews on their sites. But there are bad reviews on them all across the internet. The only way you are put first and treated like somebody is during an appointment. At all other times, your situation is put on hold or not even answered at all. And don't expect to eat anything, including something as simple as pudding, when first getting your immediate dentures. I am so swollen up that no matter how they adjust them, I can't eat anything with them in and they sit crooked. I have been expected to continue to deal with that until some of the swelling goes down so they can adjust it better, but in the meantime I have to eat. So the dentures are out of my mouth most of the time so I can talk better and eat, even if I still have to eat soft food, at least I can eat it. Even with them dentures in I couldn't even do that. Don't rely on these people for your care. But I am sure if you made a few hundred thousand dollars a year that they probably would put you first.

UPDATE, October 6th, 2017: Nationwide Housing Corporation did end up coming here today to see me after several months of persistence. I think sending them links to all the negative reviews I did online of them certainly helped them to come see me and act concerned about me. They were really nice to me, but I doubt if any punishment came to my neighbor or the manager here as requested at Whispering Pines in Caledonia, Minnesota. But at least they finally acknowledged and showed a little concern for me. However, Whispering Pines management I feel will not get much respect from me with this.

Nationwide Housing Corporation Doesn't Care About You Or Me

• Previous review

I am currently seeking justice with the Nationwide Housing Corporation, management here at Whispering Pines in Caledonia, Minnesota, and with the Caledonia Police Department. All who have ignored and denied requests to do something about my neighbor.

Neighbor is well known around here for lying, harassing others, calling cops, etc. etc. Etc. She lies to people and says I knock on the bedroom wall and that I've knocked on her door a lot to bother her, and also that my dogs bark a WHOLE LOT.
When they hardly ever bark.

She makes false claims about dogs and me. She even tried to pin me for abuse and neglect before too but it was a no go. Cops don't do anything with her, management here at Whispering Pines doesn't, neither does Nationwide Housing Corporation.

She keeps trying to force me out using dirty tactics to try to get her way. She is real nice to people when they move in. Don't get taken by her. Better yet, don't come to Whispering Pines in Caledonia, MN because eventually you could end up on her hit list as I and some others have.

She's rotten to your face, uses cops to harass, and is an all out nut. She is nice at first to you, but sooner or later you will find out she is not a good person, whether you are her next victim or just a bystander, you will find out. It is best if you don't come to Whispering Pines, and it is best you don't do business with the Nationwide Housing Corporation.

Nationwide Housing Corporation doesn't give a *** about you or me. They just want your rent money.

Reason of review: Nationwide Housing Corporation only cares about the rent check, not about me or any of the other tenants living at Whispering Pines here in Caledonia, MN..

Really funny t shirts online on a variety of subjects. I ordered some from there recently that specifies my attitude on things to a T. I'd like to order a few more on the site when I have the money to. Go there, you'll be glad you did. I spent lots of time searching through the site, plenty to look through.

  • Pine Cone Place

9/26/17

I only went in here once, I would go in there more often if I had a lot of money to spend as there is such a great selection of things in several different categories. A wonderful place to go here in Caledonia, MN. I highly recommend going here.

  • Walmart

9/21/17

I may have rated this 4 stars, but I'll tell you why. Though Walmart has a good selection of items and it is very affordable, I don't always find what I want. But about 90% of the time I would say I do. And the products I choose are well made.

  • Amazon

Every time I'm on Amazon I find nearly everything I am looking for. And it gives me the option to view all the stores that carry it that go through Amazon to sell there stuff. I can pick whichever store I want that is selling it through Amazon and check how much each one is selling it for, and browse the selections to check the shipping prices for each store that is selling it. A wonderful place to go with a GREAT selection of products.

  • Goodwill NCW

I go to the Goodwill store in Onalaska, WI. It is a big place where I go, very clean, great staff, and lots of items to choose from. And when you buy at the Goodwill you are also helping others out. Great place to go.

  • La Crosse Salvation Army

9/20/17

I went to see twice in recent months what the Salvation Army store was like in La Crosses, WI. I don't know how the one is that you usually go to, but the one in La Crosse, WI is just TERRIBLE. The furniture there looks really good and great price, though I never bought the furniture there. That perhaps was the only good thing in the store. So many things looked so used and beaten up and awful looking that I wouldn't even pay 25 cents for that stuff if they offered it for that price. The inside of the place also looks very old and tacky. But the outside of the building looks good. I don't know what yours is like, it could be much better, but don't go to the one in La Crosses, WI.

I sometimes go to the Arby's in Onalaska, WI. I've gone there a few times. So far the staff there seems friendly and the food I've had so far is great.

  • Petsmart

9/20/17

I go to the PetSmart in Onalaska, WI. Love going there and love to pet the other dogs that come in there to shop. Staff are generally pretty good and well educated but there was one clerk a few years ago that was nasty a lot of the time. Glad I don't see that one anymore around there. I like that they have a little place near building where the dogs can go potty during the visit to the store. That's convenient for the dogs. Mine usually has to go potty while there. Though I don't bring her in every time I go there if I just have to shop for dog food. I'll bring her in though if I shop for other stuff though if I don't want to do a quick run in and out of the building and I plan on staying for a bit. Love the layout of the store, nice staff, and always clean.

  • Pet Medical Center

9/20/17

UPDATE January 13th, 2018: I originally spoke up highly of the Pet Medical Center, especially for saving my Chloe's life as she has Addison's Disease. But in recent months I started mouthing off to them because my dogs records had gotten messed up, I had to fix that. At the same time a friend's $100 they had donated for the percorten shot Chloe had needed for her Addison's as my friends help me to pay for those, had been lost and it was like she hadn't paid in the $100. She had to wait until getting her credit card statement and then show that to Susie, the accountant and manager there who is a greedy b... I've had to deal with that Susie a few times. They had gotten alot of new vet techs in recently and seemed to have changed some of their policy as they told me one that I've never heard of before in all the years I been there. To which I got after them about that too recently. I then received an email a few days ago stating that they will no longer provide me veterinary services that I need. I had reasons to complain. And they should have told me about that policy when it came into effect, because I never heard of that policy before. It would cost me more money that I felt they were doing as a ploy to get more money for themselves. As I've said, that Susie is greedy. Anyway, they kicked me out only days before my Chloe NEEDED a percorten shot for her Addison's. I had to hurry up and round up a vet because the percorten shot is due on tuesday January 16th, 2018 and it is now Saturday, January 13th. I read the email on January 11th, 2018. I gave them so much over several years. I was nice up until they started messing up on things and so many new vet techs came in and seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. And then they quoted policy which I never heard that one before in all the years I was there. I swear it is a new one. So much changed there in recent months. They said I am too rude to the staff. Yeah, well I am if they don't know what the hell they are doing. So many great years there and then this happens and I am thrown to the curb for my attitude. I stuck up for myself. I do reviews alot and talked up alot about them. I'm going through some of those reviews I did on other sites and changing them. They can't hate me anymore than they do now.

Tip for consumers:
If you mouth off to the Pet Medical Center and get thrown out on your $#*! to go look for another vet. I have found already, a vet who turned me down because they know some people at the Pet Medical Center, so that vet clinic won't treat my dogs either. And I continue to look for other clinics that are good for the dog I have with the Addison's Disease. I actually have 2 dogs, but a good vet is needed for the one with Addison's Disease. I'm hoping I found one that will do me well.

  • Kwik Trip

9/20/17

A great place to go. Many of the Kwik Trips I have found are generally a lot better than most regular gas stations as they have a lot more grocery items in the Kwik Trip stores and gas prices are competitive. Something special about the Caledonia, Minnesota Kwik Trip is that they have the best chicken baskets in their eatery. Almost every time I go for a chicken dinner there, the chicken is moist and the flavor is fantastic. Never had chicken that good at any other Kwik Trip I've been to. EXCELLENT PLACE!

  • Semcac

9/20/17

SEMCAC here in Caledonia, Minnesota did an excellent job at providing me the help that I needed to get into this apartment as they paid my security deposit and first month's rent when I most needed a place to stay as the last place was a real dump and so I was forced to leave it. Though I hate my neighbor next door my apartment is nice. They also have a terrific food pantry in that building. I walk out with lots of food. And it is not boring food either. There is a great selection. This is a GREAT place to go when you are financially needing help and you are desperate.

Tip for consumers:
Excellent food pantry in Caledonia, MN Semcac building on Main Street.

I bank at Merchants Bank here in Caledonia, MN. The bank looks lovely on the outside as much as on the inside and wonderful staff. If moving to Caledonia or looking for a different bank to handle your needs there, I would recommend Merchants Bank.
