Tempt fate? Now I'm tempted to not post, just to see what fate would do...
In local news, until now I have resisted getting a Kroger card because they use it to track spending patterns. (That's why they don't just put stuff on sale.) But they alone have the peanut butter I like - just peanuts and salt, nothing else added. So I finally got a Kroger card.
But now I'm worried about Kroger... I'm not quite normal and if they track MY spending habits it could really mess up their data for my whole demographic.

Unless you spend cash...all purchasing habits are monitored!

That's just dumb. It's SO much more worth it to get the sale prices, plus the coupons that come ON the card, PLUS the personalized deals that tracks what you DO purchase, so you can get them discounted, PLUS the gas rewards. You worry WAY to much about things WAY out of your control. Kroger card or not, I'm quite sure they know more about you then you'd like them to know. :roll: Hello it's the 21st century.

Where do you work? What do you do?
My daughter's crib is 7 years old, spent most of that time in the basement, through a flood, and wasn't always a little too wiggly for my comfort since it was a very inexpensively made one (aka. cheap). We were looking at getting a new crib with stationary sides at Target, but don't really have $300 to drop on a crib right now. A couple of days later, a post popped up on one of the local resale groups on Facebook, and we ended up getting a beautiful stationary side, low to the ground(which is perfect because I'm a shorty), sleigh bed almost exactly like the one at Target for $70. It's some fancy pants brand that was bought 3/4 years ago for $500! I love getting good deals!
That's wonderful! I am a bargain shopper, too. :D

Assuredbyfaith: Actually I do pay cash for everything that I don't buy online. Mostly just because it's easier. I think it's easier anyway.
Jenn: You sure do like to criticize...
I criticized? Or gave you my opinion.......Criticizing and opinions are highly different. One of the downfalls of "reading" online. And if you felt I was criticizing, then my apologies. I simply just gave my opinion on your subject matter.
Jenn: Okay, when you give your opinion you are very... hmm... caustic in your word choice. Even when I'm talking to my family or close friends I don't think I would call them dumb.
And I don't worry about what people know about me. I resent them gathering data on me for the purpose of trying to predict what else they can sell me. Big difference, worry versus resentment.
And I kind of like the idea of paying with your phone. I don't have it myself because I never have bothered, but it seems very convenient.
You made a lot of assumptions, then ridiculed me based on those assumptions. Or rather, you gave your opinion in a very caustic manner.

(To my friends on this forum: Please disregard the following rant, as it has nothing to do with anything any of you have ever said to me. This rant is about people I know here where I live. But I had to say this rant somewhere, and I don't want to hurt their feelings by saying it to their faces.)
[rant]
"Do you have a date for Valentine's Day?"
"Yes. February 14th."
You know the one thing I hate about this day? People who have a relationship always assume single people are miserable, and they act on that assumption by going out of their way to console the single people. Who said I'm miserable? Did my face look like I was unhappy? Why do you feel you must reassure me that there is someone out there for me? What if I don't want there to be anyone for me? What if I'm happy being single? What if the thought that there is someone out there for me gives me nightmares? (It doesn't, but what if it did?)
It's almost like they're so busy expecting we single people to be unhappy about being single that it's a disappointment if we're not miserable.
Personally I'm happy with life right now. I don't know from personal experience but I hear that life with someone is better than life alone. If being married is too much better than my current life I might need a sedative. I'm not against the idea of finding THE ONE for me, dating and eventually marrying her, but I'm not going to focus so much on what I lack that I ignore all I have to enjoy right now.
To my friends who are married or dating, I'm sorry if it disappoints you that I'm not miserable. But really, I don't need consolation. Really. I'm totally fine right now.
[/rant]
Now that that's off my chest... who's ready for candy half-off day? Just try to beat me to the store. I get up awful early when there's a good reason to.
I was talking about that to one of my friends yesterday. What is the point of the day? For singles- it makes them often long for what it's not time for yet. For married people- it pushes worldly expectations of spending money on them if they are happy. And wishing for more if they are not... I never really got it when I was single... And really don't now.
Lol! And I told Robbie that for valentines day I want to go for the half priced candy on the 15th!
:hi: I'm here on a beautiful day off...am cleaning the house and getting ready to grill tonight. I'm a little miffed....after much soul searching and talking with my friend who deems my ideas as crazy or good- and yes, you would be mind-blown to realize that I actually listen to his viewpoints and advice, which may explain why I'm as messed up as a soup sandwich Totally blaming germ for my issues is cool- I decided to pursue buying the Corvette I spoke of earlier. Prayed about it, got with the banker, looks like all is on track for me to have a new ride to work at a good price.
Now, I have the money. I have the desire. But I DON'T HAVE THE CORVETTE. Getting the owner to respond is like pulling teeth. When I talked to him last Saturday, he advised he had some family issues (an in law in hospice), but would it kill him to shoot me a text every couple of days until we can arrange a time to do the deal?!? I'm fixing to go shopping for a slightly older Corvette in great condition or a Nissan 350Z. As I told Lou, I have to have a dependable ride, but it doesn't have to be boring. (I am SO making up for the failed pink Lincoln escapade) :biglaugh:
I'd go for good gas mileage. ;)
I dunno... he went for comfort with the Lincoln and it caused a lot of discomfort. Might be best to just shoot for a corvette.
Quote from: The Purple Fuzzy on February 14, 2015, 08:34:31 PM

Surprising the majority of folks except those that own them- I AM going for good gas mileage. Depending on which Corvette I buy- I've located a second choice in Arlington Texas- they will get from 28 to 30 mpg on my commute. Better than the aforementioned cursed Lincoln, and much more my style. :hypocrite:
Oh, and in updating my previous post- the owner texted me. The inlaw in hospice passed, which is bad, but it means he is going to be available the first part of the week. Tentative plans now are to look Monday, and if I like what I see, I will take off Tuesday and do the deed...If it falls through, I'll be Texas bound Friday to bring one home.

I've always thought it was better to be single and sometimes lonely; then to be married and miserable!!! You can be single and still have a life...content, happy, blessed!!! Not that I don't want to get married; I'm not going to settle for just anyone...just to be married!!!

I truly believe some people are meant to be alone. They're happy that way. Then there are people like me, by the time I turned 16 I wasn't dating I was looking for a wife. I wanted a wife and family. GOD blessed me with my wife, the family part is in his hands. I just always knew I didn't want to be alone.
I know many others though who I think were meant to be alone. Some never married and are happy as can be, others let people talk them into getting married and were miserable till they divorced. That's why I may joke about match making but it's only a joke. Let those single folks chose their own road.

You behind the times, bro. I sold that possessed devil to my sister (not Kim) November-ish.....Ironically, she has not had a bit of trouble with it. Guess I fixed all its issues.
There is a 98 Lincoln like yours for sale a mile down the road from me. 24,000 original miles. Guy paid over $40,000 for it new. Never had anyone in the back seat. Never had anything in the trunk. Like new. Asking $8500 for it now...

I'm currently in the library at school because my rm and her boyfriend showed up before I was even out of bed this morning. She jokes that I'm mean to Brandon [both him and I are really sarcastic] but she is terrible to her boyfriend who drove 5 hours to see her!! If I were him I would have kept my hind end in Clarksville and forget about her. Geez.
I have a paper to write and some reading to do. My boss went back on his word about my schedule and I'm open to close [in my department] MWF. So almost no time for homework during the week. I admit I'm only doing the bare minimum today and doing my snow dance tomorrow. They are saying 4-8 inches even in town. The mountains of course getting more. Bring it!!! I NEED IT!!!! :cool:
Plus the whole Valentine's thing, Brandon and I have renamed it Nerd Day. We buy nerdy things for each other and do nerdy things. I got him a TMNT piggy bank and the first Hobbit movie on DVD. He bought me a vinyl figure I was missing from a collection I have for a favorite tv show. We went to dinner where we had our first day 4 years ago then to Kil'n Time [witty name!] where you paint pottery. I did a flower pot that say's The Henson's and he painted a giant Koi fish. :cool:

Sounds good.
I'm at work on this rainy gloomy day.
I'm at work. Slid all the way in, we've got around an inch and a half of ice on the ground. Top speed all the way in was around 45 mph. So much for driving the 'vette today. :pound:
Ugh. Stupid weather. It's so cold. And supposed to be back up to the 70's by the weekend.
I'm coming to the conclusion that men who are well versed, are strong about who they are and what they believe, and can converse on a intellectual and deeper level, are also the men who have the complete opposite beliefs/convictions that I do. Ugh.
I also drove to work on a sheet of ice. Got up at 7:30 and looked out the window, roads were clear. Looked out at 8:00 and they were covered with ice.
Very few people came to work today so those who showed up stayed later than originally planned. Gonna be a lot of people getting overtime this week, of which I am one. :D
Sitting in the parking lot; wishing I wasn't going in to work!!! Bleh, going to be rough...short handed and we aren't allowed overtime! Still got to have the job done!!! :smirk2:
I am a morning person and I think they need to start mornings around noon.
Sounds good to me :yawn:
For all the fun I had yesterday, today I hate snow and ice. See, my father was supposed to come down from Kentucky today... but he can't get out of his driveway.
Yesterday I loved the snow and ice. I guess it's a love-hate relationship... or something... All I know is I WANT MY DADDY!!! :demand:
Snow Day!!!!! :cool:
Yesterday was a work from home day for me since my daughter was off school for the holiday. Today, I had to actually get up and change out of my pjs for work. :sadbounce:
I just came across something on facebook that couldn't have come at a better time! It's a decluttering challenge called 40 bags in 40 days. We are trying to get the house ready for the new baby, which includes decluttering and redecorating our guest room to move my daughter into that room, and redecorating her old room for the baby. We were going to redecorate both rooms anyway, so we gave her the option of keeping her room or moving into the bigger room and she jumped at the chance to have the bigger room.
We also have to baby proof again, which also means decluttering the common areas and reorganizing. It seems really overwhelming and the clock ticks faster every day!! Hoping chunking up the work like this will help keep us motivated!
We've been in our house for 5 years, after previously moving yearly, and unfortunately we have accumulated a bunch of junk we don't need! I hated moving every year, but it did help us do a yearly purge. lol
Here is the link to the challenge information in case anyone else is interested.
http://www.whitehouseblackshutters.com/40-bags-in-40-days-2014/ (http://www.whitehouseblackshutters.com/40-bags-in-40-days-2014/)
Well, lookie at the golden oldies showing up. :lol: About time some of you came back around.
And in sharing- it's cold. And I don't like it. And the Corvette I was gonna get- well, the guy was honest and called me to inform me of a BUNCH of things that had seemingly randomly went haywire with it. Therefore, I must assume it isn't God's will.
Completely unrelated- I am ready for a vacation. It'll help keep me from killing my coworkers. Even my car pool partner, who has been like a brother to me for the past 15 years is riding my last nerve raw. I NEED a cabin in the mountains away from people, I think.

Again I wake up and there's snow on the ground... and on the trees... and on the roads... learning to drive in northeast TN makes me very popular at work, because I'm one of the few who will actually show up.
No snow this way. We missed any of the ice or snow from this cold front.

Sadly it's been so long since we've had decent snow the younger generation around here is pitifully lacking in their driving skills.
Yeah, well... we didn't get a decent snow here either. The road looked white on my backroad, but the highways were clear. Only one person called in at work. In fact labor cost was so high they had two people cover a three person job while I did stocking and cleanup stuff and went home about forty minutes early.
Not the day I was anticipating. But I had other stuff to get done, so no complaints.
So weird. We're having 55+ weather, and the majority of the rest of the country is apparently snowed in. Such a switch. lol
Chelbertina, is life slowing down at all yet? :)

No snow here...probably won't see any this winter! 😢

Stir it with your finger? Sure it would be hot but you get burned less than if you shake it.
So I woke up after five hours of sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. And we have a corporate inspection today. Fortunately I have my Moser Roth 85% cocoa. BRING IT ON!
I'm at work. So ready for my supervisor to get back from China.

Laying low today. Baby boy is letting his mama know that he's not happy with the state of affairs, and that I'd better stay off my feet. Pretty sure I do NOT want to go into labor at 21 weeks. :o
Bella is currently eating food remains under the dining room table. Umm... I'm not sure what's worse... I'm apparently not feeding her enough??... or the condition of the floor?? :roll: :P
:beret:
We are currently at our high of 9 degrees. Windchill is below zero. They have warned everyone to be layered as much as possible going out. Frostbite is a serious threat right now. All the schools have been out due to snow at the beginning of the week and now because of temp and ice. I'm housesitting and even looking down at the lake parts of it is frozen. Of course they have it very low right now trying to find a seepage problem at the dam.

It actually missed me...it just spilled all over my phone, wallet, and car! 😒 Stirring with your finger is assured pain :noo: ; shake and stir is a risk...a high risk; but you still have a chance of not burning!!! 😉

An actual prayer that I prayed tonight at work: "OHhhh Lord, please don't let me be that person"!!!
:o
You know those people who only think of themselves, their own troubles, their own attributes, their own struggles...how everything around them, or happening around them; relates to them! Yes, we are all human; and we all take on the wrong attitudes at times; say the wrong things...! I know I have my moments!!
However, "Lord, help me"!!! ;)
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
FYI, this wasn't because I spent the whole night thinking that the world revolved around me...I spent the night listening to complaints from people who do!!! 😔
Hebrews Chapter 12:
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Romans 12:
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
:hi: Howdy. I'm at work. It drizzling out there this morning. Supposed to get in the 70s tomorrow then drop to the 20s on Monday. Up, down, up, down...
Tacos tacos yummy yummy tacos. I ate tacos for lunch, from Fuzzy's Taco Shop. Delisssh.
I could eat tacos every day!
Now I'm tending - ok not really - many many fires at work. :pullhair:

Chelbertina, is life slowing down at all yet? :)

About 21 weeks. Give or take.

If only....it was that simple!!
I just spent three+ hours trying to fix my computer; when the problem was Microsoft. I thought I had deleted part of my Internet explorer files...because it wouldn't work; and even though it said I had the current version; it wasn't under programs! So...system restore twice, update twice, PC refresh 4+ times...I was just about ready to go buy a terabyte; or some such backup so I could save my Photography Portfolios (All 5,000+)...and then spend the whole day factory resetting my PC; and then downloading all the software I have added!!! :o
So thankful I wasn't so impatient that I rushed right out to do this...because apparently everything is fixed and running!!! 😔
I still recommend that backup... Now.

How strange on a scale of 1-10 is it that a local PD; which I don't know, and have never seen before; walks up behind me at work(I was talking to someone so I didn't hear him or see him)and whispers "Boo" in my ear???? I'm slightly freaked out! :o If he had gotten any closer he would have had to shove me out of the way! :-\
Really strange things have been happening to me in the last eight months...I don't need it to get any stranger!!! 😲

It's my day off. I've discovered that my new callsign for ham radio, reflecting my new privileges and initials is now active. Now to get used to saying "AC5RM" instead of "KF5TIE"..

It's a Corvette! Who wants to really get rid of one? His wife is probably making him sale it!! 😉
I'm fairly certain I'm dying. Brandon keeps telling me I'm not but with how I've felt the last 24 hours, Jesus can take me if that's what He wants. I've ate nothing out of the ordinary and nothing that's a trigger for my phantom gallbladder, but I swear it feels like I have gravel in my intestines. I can barely waddle around. I'm in a lot of discomfort.
But despite that I still made it to Jacob's party. He is so very dear to my heart. He is the special needs son of the couple who gave me my very first Bible study and they prayed me through almost 14 years ago. He is so excited about our wedding. He announced to everyone when we got there that he was invited but he's going to bring his mom too. I had addressed their invite to him and family. :cool: He has always hugged me and sat with me regardless of what church or service we are at and regardless of where I was in my walk or how I looked. He has treated me the same regardless of anything. His dinner was a tad awkward though because it was quite a few people from my old church including the pastor and his family. Everyone spoke to me though but him. Everyone however understands why I left, but him. He doesn't approve of anyone leaving his church ever regardless of reasons [moving, lots of prayer, etc.]
When is the Wedding? Belated Congratulations; if I hadn't mentioned it before now? 😊

Actually, he is selling it because it is a stick shift and his wife can't drive it, so he bought an automatic convertible Corvette for them to drive. He's a good hubby, it appears...and I like him, because he responded to me, agreed to sell said stick shift car to me at my price, and threw in some manuals for the car, about a $100 value.
So- beware Jenn. Sometime in the next week or so when the weather co-operates, I shall invade your fair city. :smirk:

Awww... That's sweet! I can't drive a stick shift either! Maybe he is just caught up in every day life; too busy to get back to you! 😊
Thanks! The wedding is in May.
I can drive a manual. My car is a manual. Everyone is so surprised when they find out. My mom insisted on teaching me after I learned how to drive as a teenager. However they never taught my sister. It makes buying a car a lot easier since I can drive both and also I prefer a manual to an automatic in the snow. Less time on the brake.
Working working working.
I am getting over 40 hours this week. I can't complain about the hours or the paycheck that is coming, but boy am I tired!
God answered my prayer for a job that gives me hours...so I'm not complaining!
That's why I've been quiet lately. I don't have time for anything but work and church. Thankful my job also allows me to be off for services. \o/
Everyone should learn to drive a manual at least. Of course they are becoming less common. ..you almost have to buy a Sportscar to get one now.
When I bought Rusty the 46 I made the statement to lou that since it was a standard I didn't have to worry about her driving it. (She knew the basics but didn't like driving them). The next morning I go out to get in my truck and it's gone. She came home from work , tossed me the keys and informed me that she liked the antique and had gotten her a key made for it. I've never boasted since.....
I can drive a standard, too. I guess it's not standard anymore and that's why it's called manual more now. When I first started dating my husband, I had a Honda Civic 4 speed. I just assumed he could drive one & threw him the keys. Turned out that he hadn't really driven standards except on tractors & such and of course was too proud to tell me. He did pretty good until we stopped at a light on a hill. :o

I fixed that for you Mel :cool:
I drive a 2007 Yaris and it's definitely NOT a sports car. Also my 2010 Nissan Versa was a manual.
I ended up calling them manuals because my friend from Northern Ireland called them that. I thought it sounded better than stick shift or 5 speed.

Our date is a little sooner than that. We had to hit a certain time to miss finals but be married before summer move in. We have opted to live in married housing on campus. Our date is Thursday May 14th. :cool:
Ah. Well, sooner is probably better than later. ;) I would have happily been married in January, but.... well, it didn't work out that way. LOL
:beret:
So it's 3:00 A.M. I'm on my lunch break...so far I've hit the local fast food for hot chocolate, stopped by the ATM at my bank, and filled my gas tank! So for all those who called in from work because there is a BIG ice storm...what ice? ??? :smirk2:
In other news...the local, national whatever news had everyone here freaked out about the big storm; people have pretty much emptied the shelves!!! :o
Back at work, where I will probably get snowed in, if the weatherman is to be believed. :smirk: Last night we dismissed church early because the roads were in such bad shape- we slipped and slid home, and I anticipated sleeping in today. But the roads were miraculously clear. Lou took off because Chey's school dismissed. I hope she doesn't get in trouble. She says she won't and since she's worked at Walmart for 10 years I have to trust her...
Just had to use a bottle of Gatorade to get my door unfrozen so I could make it home from work!!! So from wet and rainy to frozen in just under four hours...made it home safe! It's still raining Ice outside...thankfully I have the night off!!! So I get to stay home and be lazy; ice, and cold can't get me down!!! 😏
No ice here yet. They acted like we'd get it last night. Supposed to be coming, though.

So don't laugh...well ok you can laugh; you will anyway! With all the people calling in at work...it was an insanely, crazy, frustrating night! I was running around trying to do a little bit of everything...while working with objects on the top shelf( yes, I'm only 5'3") a can fell off and hit me right in the middle of the forehead!! So I have this big red mark! :smirk2: Aren't I pretty? Thank goodness this night is done with!! :noo:

We got it. Lots and lots of sleet. Been sleeting since early morning. Was watching NBC live weather, and they said right around 7 was the heart of the storm. I'm staying home. I drive a good 35 min on a normal day to work, over many bridges too...haha def. not getting out.
:pound: Jenn I need you to have GOOD weather. ..

I loathe winter.
Well, it was fine when I went io work this morning in Longview but the sleet started and the roads were horrible when they let us leave a little after 10. I saw pickup trucks fishtailing trying to drive in it. I was happy for my front wheel drive. I drive about 20 miles to work and have to cross the Sabine River. I made it home fine but the roads were pretty bad.
There is no way I will be getting off early. It's just gonna be bad. It's already cold and wet out there. The schools and offices have mostly closed down already though.
It's not much better here. It was snowing sideways at lunch so I called and got a room for the night a block from the capitol. I hate to spend the money, but I'd hate wrecking the truck and spending the night in a ditch worse...the worse thing about it is I don't have my Sweetheart and my AngelFluff with me...:sadbounce:
All our snow got washed away in the rain over the weekend. However my friend who lives about an hour and half away in VA had about 3 feet of snow at her house.
Someone broke my favorite work car over the weekend. Whoever did it better fess up. The most probable thing is they hit a curb or whatnot going way too fast and popped something in the front suspension. It goes off to the shop tomorrow. Also the guys at Nissan gave me a coupon to come have my oil changed in my personal car this weekend. I would do it myself but working on cars on campus is strictly prohibited and I don't think a receipt from AutoZone would keep my warranty valid.
Signed up for married housing today. :o I'll be married in 79 days.
QuoteI drive about 20 miles to work and have to cross the Sabine River. I made it home fine but the roads were pretty bad.
42?
I work in Longview and if you took 42 you probably passed near here.
I went down 20 to what they are now calling 31 (used to be 259). It is quicker for me than going 42. When I came home, I took 1252 to avoid the crazies on interstate.
Ok....Gotcha!
You were down a little further away. I don't remember the last time I got on 20. Probably won't happen anytime soon either.
We go down 42 frequently. My mom lives outside Gladewater.

Today we got the news that our paychecks were not available. Where were they? Somewhere in the FedEx system. Why were they there? They didn't ship anything Friday. Why did the workplace powers-that-be give the checks to FedEx today (to be delivered to the workplace tomorrow) instead of just driving the checks a whole 25 miles over to the workplace themselves? Um... nobody can figure that one out.
In the meantime I have a bill that is to be paid tomorrow. It's a bill that is paid through a checking account automatic withdrawal. If I get my paycheck tomorrow I can't just leave work and pay it, and I get off work AFTER the bank is closed.
Now if I were the kind of employee who shows up late, does his job halfheartedly and sometimes calls in sick just because he doesn't feel like going to work I wouldn't have any grounds to complain. But I'm there every day on time. Every single day. Last week when it was icy I was there every day I was scheduled to work, on time every day. I kind of expect at least the same level of reliability from my employer.
"But they can't help it the weather was bad last week." No they can't. I couldn't help it there was snow and ice on the roads either - but I TOOK MEASURES TO MAKE SURE I GOT THERE ON TIME! You know, like leaving early because I knew I would have to drive slow. When FedEx (hitherto known as FedUp) didn't pick up the checks Friday it would have been very simple to decide to drive the checks over today instead of giving them to FedEx to deliver a day late.
Why am I so upset about this? I had to borrow money from my grandmother to cover that bill. "Hey Grandma, can I borrow some money for one day? My workplace dropped the ball." Yeah, that was fun.
Okay I'm through.

Feel free to drop me a line when your out this way sometime. We could meet for lunch or something.

I can't believe that your work place doesn't have direct deposit! 😲
It mostly melted here this afternoon...of course, now the melt is freezing on top of everything! Did I remember to say I am so thankful I don't work tonight!? 😊
I keep meaning to sign up for direct deposit for my work. I keep being off on payday and it's a haul to drive over there when I'm off.
Thanks for fixing that post, Heather. I just gave Knut a bath and he didn't like it. Of course! But he smells better and apple cider vinegar does wonders for killing fleas and making him smell fresh and clean!
Oh...Heather...this may be TMI for some on here, but they can skip it. Knut was born on Dec 9. He is just at 12 weeks old. He still has little white rice looking worms coming from his bottom sometimes. I used an OTC wormer already, but they still are there. What should I do?
I bought Pro-sense roundworm liquid de-wormer. I gave him a dose and another follow up dose two weeks later. That was a week ago and I'm still seeing the "rice".
My financial aid changed/increased! Now I can take two classes! Just emailed my advisor. I think since the next semester starts in a week, I might be too late for that one? But I can definitely get into another one for the may 11-july 7 semester! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Also realized when I got a new phone, my school email fell out. Weird. So I didn't see that the financial aid changed or I could have taken two for the upcoming semester in a week!
I'm still at home for now. My husband doesn't like the looks of the roads. They are still really icy.
I'm at work today. The driven roads are all pretty clear. I had no issues at all. Last years ice storm was 10x worse.

It's not roundworms. It's tapeworm segments from ingesting fleas. He needs GOOD flea medicine and a dose of tapeworm meds [usually one pill] but it'll be useless if he doesn't get flea preventative. I use Advantage Multi on Topher. It available at PetSmart. It does fleas and worms [but not tapes] and heartworm.
On non animal bottoms news, our 2-3 inches of snow is currently hovering around the 4.5 inch mark. No school for us again today. I was all for the snow days last week, but I'm paying for this education. Also my roommate thinks she is sick with strep [according to her though she is always sick] and the thought of being in this room all day with her makes me want to call work and see if they need any help......
OK, I'm at work now.
Isaac, when that happened once with a company I used to work for, they covered any fees from bounced checks, etc, because it was THEIR mistake. Since you caught it in advance, they should be able to advance you money via your own job location. I'd pursue it, if I were you. That's totally not cool.
:beret:
Now they're saying we will get snow tomorrow. We hardly EVER get snow. I'm not holding my breath. Of course, snow is much better than the ice we got yesterday.
And, Isaac, that is terrible. I would be very unhappy.
I'm home. Finally. Roads are great, but we are supposed to get anywhere from 2 to 5 " of snow tomorrow. I am WAY over winter, if I haven't mentioned it. I think it is supposed to be decent, as in above freezing, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Depending on the truth of that I might get to take a little road trip to the wild badlands of Texas.......
*sniff* On my way to work...roads are clear! Can't wait to see if I get snowed in on my lunch break!!! :updown:
Roads are clear...wonder how many people have called out tonight!!! :smirk2:
We're supposed to get snow here about midday. Frankly I'm not too thrilled about it this time, as it would mean ANOTHER canceled church service. I like going to church, it's where I see all the normal people.
Drove home from work through heavy sleet; with an Ice covered car. It says snow up till noon; but I doubt that it will!!!
Oh, yeah...it's snowing on top of the sleet!!! Brr...it's freezing!!! 😲
It's snowing like crazy here. Very unusual for my area.
Snowing here too...but so far it seems to be melting on the roadways, so I will remain at work.
It's 50* here. :P
:beret:
*packs a bag and heads to the car. punches Oregon into GPS*
Was finally able to work a full day without weather interferring.Supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow overnight. If we are out of school again tomorrow that'll be 2 weeks of no classes. Do universities give refunds for time not in class? They should for what I'm paying. All my teachers have thrown out their syllabus' since we are so far off now.

About 5 more inches of snow last night. Day classes were canceled. No idea if my 345 is meeting today or not since 4 pm and after classes are supposed to meet. Roads look to be decently clear but I haven't been out yet.
I haven't been out today. My lungs hurt. I have been coughing non stop. It's about 48*, clear and windy. But the damp chill is enough to keep me inside since I'm feeling this bad. I was glad to be off today.
Not sure if I should brave the cold and go to service tonight. Might make me feel worse if I try. :smirk2:

Don't blame me. I loathe winter and everything that comes with it.
No snow...however, I'm tired of being cold!!! ❄

I am 100% in agreement with you. I was in full systems go to come pick up my car in your town, until the guy I'm buying it from texted me and said that it was snowing and was supposed to do so today. He said the roads were clear then, but there was no telling how they would be this morning. Since I want a whole Corvette and not many pieces of a corvette I decided not to risk it, since next weekend the forecast for your area is near 70 degrees. Corvettes don't do good at all on wet and slick roads......
I have come to the conclusion that trying to get anything done in this area is futile when there is even a HINT of snow in the forecast. Bah!
And yes, that does mean church was canceled Wednesday. Bah!
On the bright side, it means I have a batch of Grandma's chocolate oatmeal cookies all to myself. Once a month we meet and eat on Wednesday night and have Bible study after eating. Too bad nobody wanted to get out Wednesday night. I guess I can force myself to eat all these cookies myself. It will be a chore but I'll get it done somehow. :teeth:

It is not snowing. Or it wasn't when I left this morning. lol Just cold!
It's "supposed" to with a prediction of "ice" tomorrow morning. You definitely do not want to come to Texas during "ice". lol it's barely anything, but we shuttttttttterr down. Pansies.
70 next weekend?! Glory to God in the highest. I think I might weep if that happens.
Howdy. :hi:
I'm at work.

Try Lavender essential oil instead - rub it on the bottoms of your feet, or the inside of your wrists.
Or you can get dried lavender and put it in an empty tea bag inside your pillowcase.
And Jenn.... I MIGHT have been slightly sarcastic. ;) :D
:beret:
Well I don't guess it is all bad. Since I couldn't drive a vette, I dug Rusty out and drove him to the ham club lunch about 30 miles away. I got a nice shot of him and a '39 Chevy truck at the local co-op and posted it on Rusty the '46's facebook page. That and having spent nearly 30 minutes with the '39's owner talking old Chevy trucks put me in a better mood, even if it is cold here. I need to go back to town and get a few groceries but I haven't managed to motivate myself to do so yet.
You def don't wanna come here now 5-0. We've hit like 4-6i nches of snow. Ridiculous. :roll:
Took me an hour a half to get home 16 miles.
Was gonna go to a wild game supper tonight, but I'm not going now cause I don't have a ride. He said and I quote: "I would rather you not go so I don't have to breathe your sick air".
IM NOT CONTAGIOUS!!! I just cough at night, from sinus drainage! Sheesh!
You let me babysit your kids ALL DAY, but won't ride in a car with me?!
Ridiculous.

I've used lavender oil before...it only helped a little bit! I work nights; at a very physical and stressful job...honestly I think my body is mad at me because I have made it work nights for eleven years now!! 😲

We still have snow and ice here...Thankfully I am off tonight!!!! 😊 I bet everyone calls in!!! 😲
It was snowing a tiny bit when I got off this evening... I don't think it's supposed to do much this time,
Hey Taco, I found your road.
(http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j439/Psalm_97/DSC_0090_zpsthtl89qo.jpg)
Sooooo, Bobby and Mini, I found a new... well, old... truck for one of you.
Yeah, it's only a Dodge, but...

:hi:
Dear Isaac- Only a Dodge?!? You DO know that my first truck was a '63 dodge- same basic bodystyle as this one you posted only mine is a shortbed and where the '67 has two headlights, mine has four- and I still own it? As well as a '65 which looks like this 67 on with a stepside bed...
That one needs that garbage bag full of hood ornaments taken off of it though. And the owner needs to put down the pipe of illegal substances he's smoking 'cause there's no way that's a $10k truck....
Now you've got me wanting to get mine back on the road..:sadbounce:
What I'm putting in the church bulletin for tomorrow:
A REAL PAGE TURNER
At the end of his sermon one Sunday, a preacher announced that he would preach on Noah and the Ark on the following Sunday, and gave the scriptural reference for the congregation to read ahead of time.
A couple of boys noticed something interesting about the placement of the story in the Bible. They slipped into the church and glued two pages of the pulpit Bible together.
The next Sunday, the preacher got up to read his text. "Noah took unto himself a wife," he began, "and she was" - he turned the page to continue - "three hundred cubits long, fifty wide and thirty high."
He paused, scratched his head, turned the page back, read it silently, and turned the page again. Then he looked up at his congregation and said, "I've been reading this old Bible for near fifty years, but there are some things in it that are still hard to believe."
And yes, I okayed it with the pastor before I printed it. ^.^
I slept 10+ hours last night. No idea why. I don't feel sick or anything, but now I'm paying for it today. Feel like I'm just dragging. Sheesh.
Hopefully we get to go back to school this week. Not sure what my teachers will do though since we have spring break next week.
Tired and don't feel great. And it's cold,wet, and gloomy out. Bah.
There's no place like home. Went to see grandbabies but glad to be in my own house now.
I just read the weather report for next week. Tuesday it's supposed to be 60-70* & Wednesday it's supposed to sleet/snow. :smirk2:

Same here. But Thursday and Friday are predicted to be sunny and cool, in the 40's. Maybe it'll be clear enough for me to finally come to your state. I'm beginning to think you have some pull with Old Man Winter, and are conspiring to keep me outta the state. :pound: I'll make you a deal- get the seller of my car to bring it to the state line. I'll pay him and never set foot in your state. Anything to stop this white crapola.... :P
I'm exhausted. No, I'm more than exhausted. Is there a word for more than exhausted? Hmm.... If not, there should be.
I'm also hungry. But nothing really sounds good.
And I'm apparently ramble-y. Uh oh. Pregnant, hungry, ramble-y.... this could spell disaster. Especially when you add grumpy to the mix. :updown:
:beret:
Not a good night; pulled something in my back! Now I can't move my left side; and every time I lift or turn I have sharp pains below my shoulder blade!! 😲😣😶
FYI, I am tired of wet, freezing, rainy, snowy, damp... cold!!! Come on spring time; preferably with out the tornadoes!!! 😐
They are now forecasting Wednesday to have heavy snow and/ or sleet in my area. My God, is summer ever gonna get here?!?
I'm sure Summer will get here eventually... with a vengeance.
I better get some spring time!!!! ...not just one week of cool breezes; then two months of April showers, thunderstorms, tornadoes, floods...then on to three months of 105 degrees of misery!!!! I want spring time!!!! Fresh air, cool breezes; the smell of earth; and spring flowers!!! 🌷🌹🌻

It's easier to get warm then to cool off!!!! 😉 Although, I would like to get out and shake off the cabin fever!!!
You can always add layers. There are only so many that you can take off :cool:
Well I knew this would happen. All my professors are now trying to through 3 weeks worth of work into 1 week. Lord have mercy on my mind [and the headache I've had for 2 days...]......
Seems like they could send out some online stuff when you're out and not try to cram it all in when you get back.

My computer - the best one in my lineup - I think it is firmly convinced that I am trying to burn it out. I've been working the poor thing pretty hard over the weekend and the fan has been running more in two days than it has in the last four months. But it is almost through with the tasks I set it to. It should get a good rest tonight.
It's really, really foggy this morning.

So... I'm looking at a looooong day today, they're calling for snow and ice later today and I'm not looking forward to getting up. But I get up anyway and check the two forums I frequent. On one of them (those of you who are good at math will realize it's not this one) I find the following:
So my place was actually clean today for a few hours. Then, the CATastrophe hit.
I had given my cats a scratching toy for Christmas, and for reasons that I won't get into, got it out of the package for them only today. In it is a little zipper pouch where some catnip (included) goes. So I fill the little pouch with catnip, but I forget to put the bag away containing the unused catnip. I go back into the living room to find Marty with the ripped bag in his mouth, chewing it while rolling around in the leaves, with Inkblot just watching him, mesmerized.
Now, I am cleaning up. Marty is chillaxin'...and Inky's got the munchies.
I needed a good laugh to start the day.
Oh, and the forum member's name is Catherder.
It's raining like crazy this morning and it's 60something. Didn't even need a coat. Supposed to drop and be in the 40s by afternoon.
Raining here too. BAH. :noo:
But it's employee appreciation week here at CVS, and the He boss just brought me flowers. What what! Day made! :clap:
It's been cold and raining all day- turned to sleet a few ago and the ground is already covered and accidents being reported throughout the county. It's supposed to change to snow shortly and we will get quite the amount of the junk. And sadly, they are talking like the temps won't get above freezing tomorrow. I would suspect that I shall not leave the house for the next two days....
*autopartsbaristavetgirl hugs Seth too*
We got up to 72 today. Some of my shops hadn't seen my arms in so long they forgot about my tattoos. It's supposed to drop to the 30s and ice and snow over night. I just hope not enough to cancel school. I'm over those shenanigans!!!
I ordered Brandon's wedding band yesterday. Of course I'm marrying the man allergic to just about every kind of metal. So he's getting a maple and ebony wood ring. :cool:
Barely made if off the porch...just to discover that my car and driveway are completely iced!😩
I hate not making it to work!!! 😒
It's now snowing like crazy...about 2 inches on top of the sleet and ice!!!! 😲
It's still just raining here... For now.
So...I'm awake. Been awake all night actually. Is it a crime to stuff a pillow over my husbands face until he stops snoring? Wouldn't it be called self defense?? ugh.
:hi:
It snowed about 5 inches last night. I got out about 10:30 made it to work with no issue.
The sun is shining though, and very brightly with a vengeance. Thank the LORD! So OVER WINTER! :demand:
I left the house about 10:20 and the roads were all clear here. We had some sleet on the porch and roofs but I think the bad stuff mostly went around us.
We just got rain. However around us got sleet and snow. Also a little further north and over into Virginia is flooding.
We had 6-7 inches of snow this morning!!! Was so beautiful! I felt like I was back in the Northwest!!! Mostly gone now...a few piles left! Had to clean layers of snow and ice off my car so I could head to work! Still some left I couldn't get!!! TGIF!!! 😫 I'm tired!!!

Fortunately it all melted pretty well. I say this because I am currently invading your city, and have set up camp in a local motel, not far from Six Flags over Texas... And to tattle on myself a bit- my hatered for Chinese food is well known and almost equals my love for buffets. My friend and I see a "Buffet" sign, so we whip in, and I am envisioning beef and such fare.
They seat us, bring drinks- and it is then I discover that i have committed myself to a Chinese buffet. Bah. :pound:
Now, tomorrow, I shall hopefully buy a Corvette and drive it home. And if I can do so and avoid Dallas, I should be glad to do so...
Well today was... interesting. I got to work a good 20 minutes early because I wanted to leave a lot of leeway for travel time. Didn't need it - the roads were a solid sheet of snow, not ice. You can drive a lot faster on snow, it has better traction. So I and Billy, the guy who is relying on me for work transportation these days, got to work and were immediately put to work because everyone and his uncle's friend's mother's next door neighbor's cousin had called in to say they wouldn't be at work.
Thirteen hours later we finally left and headed for home. We'll probably do the same tomorrow - we had people already calling in tonight to say they wouldn't be in tomorrow. No idea why, the roads are boring clear now.
It's Friday! :D
Saw the picture of Roscoe's new pink corvette on FB. Now he's vacating my city. Hope ya don't get run over in our crazy traffic!
:hypocrite: :pwink:
So sad that he's so close to us and doesn't stop. ;)
Heather, the ring sounds really neat! Are you going to post a pic? :)
Oh dear. Roscoe is the proud owner of a pink corvette now?!? *sigh* And here I THOUGHT the guys had converted him and he'd be driving a tank or something soon. Alas! *shakes head sadly*
Isaac, I'm almost afraid to ask, but... did you get photos??
:beret:
No photos - I was too busy sliding, aka having fun! :D But some did get photos, they were showing them at work. I'll see if they can send me some.
:pound: for the record- it AIN'T pink! :pound:
Jenn, had my wife been with me, we would've tried to meet up and buy you dinner- but she was at home. As far as your city- Lord, girl, I'm glad you love it, but I'm a country boy. I couldn't get outta that place fast enough, even with a Corvette. And Fuzzy-Wuz, if'n ya'll had been back torwards Sherman, I'd have loved to stop. The other issue was my driving partner, which limited me from gallivanting around. I did try to text Newsman, as i came right through his town, but the number I got from germ- my phone crash had eaten several numbers, of which his was one- my phone kept say was a noneworking number. Oh well, I was kinda time limited anyway.
The new ride runs like a dream, rides like a log truck, corners like it's on rails, and got 28 mpg at 75+ mph all the way home...until I pulled out of the local car wash and hit the gas a bit strongly. That teenage stunt dropped the mileage down to 27.8...but lord was it worth it. :-)
It's more of a love-hate type deal. For the city I mean. Lol

Well, for me last night it was a hate-hate type deal. :lol: First time in years I've been through Dallas, it's dark when I get there, I'm having to keep an eye out for the correct route which I really don't know where it is, traffic sailing by me, and I'm hoping I don't wind up in a bad neighborhood where I will have to use the gun I am carrying. Add in the Chinese restaurant buffet deal and, yeah, I disliked it..:lol:
But I will admit that I liked it much more this morning after finding and buying my 'vette- and seeing the view of the Dallas metro skyline vanishing in my rearview mirror..
I try to stay outta Dallas too... or any big city, for that matter.
Of course, Roscoe lives in a town of 34. And that number includes 4 dogs, 3 cats, and 11 cows.
His idea of a traffic jam is driving behind Mr Jones on his 1984 Sears lawnmower to the post office.
34?!? We had a new family move in?!?
And for the record, Mr Jones' lawnmower is an '85 model, Smartypants. :hypocrite: Morning, all. Yes, I did just act like a 12 year old and peeked out the window to ensure myself that I wasn't dreaming and that my dream car was here....now I'm fixin' to go to a ham radio swap meet.
Such a beautiful day! :)
Indeed it is. Nearly 60 here. I have went to the hamfest, met with a friend and took our vettes for a cruise, and just generally had a grand time. but they are calling for rain tomorrow...
Had 8 kiddos playing in the backyard this afternoon. It was *slightly* chaotic. LOL! But we had a great time.
:beret:
Ugh....
This whole daylight savings time thing is especially rough this morning.
Daylight savings time is stupid. I want my hour of sleep back. :pound:
It's raining.
I'm glad it'll be light longer. ::girltongue:
I haven't had to worry about daylight savings since I've been pretty much awake since Friday night. Talking to a couple of friends and doing light research online, I fear I have a gluten allergy going on. I've had some issues off and on but chalked it up to gallbladder and heart burn issues. But once you look at all my symptoms over time, it's probably gluten. I need Mellow to come back. I need help!!!

Okay... I know a hamfest in this context is a ham radio fest, but I can't help thinking of a barbecue cook-off. Especially as up here people usually do pork barbecue, where down there it's usually beef barbecue.
Add to that the nature of the person who posted about the hamfest... I can easily see Bobby driving his corvette to a "hamfest" so he can enjoy a plate of western style ribs and show off his car.

I'd tear up that kinda hamfest too. So, when ya gonna host one? :P
And it's started to mist. :pound: That means my new baby will be dirty tonight. it wasn't looking like rain when I drove it in. :sadbounce:
But it's a good day anyway. Chey is getting baptized tonight.
Well... with the rain on the outside to get the corvette and the baptismal tank on the inside, both your babies will get baptized. Now I guess you could dunk the chihuahua in the tub to get all three of your babies baptized.
Sorry... hush Lynx.
Still raining. I'm at work.
Gloomy rainy day here, too. My new automotive baby is at home. She don't like the rain...lol. And I discovered what the cafeteria here at work calls "Parmesan Chicken". They take the leftover spaghetti from last week, put the let over chicken fried chicken breast from the week before on it and melt a slice of cheese on it. Not what I was hoping for. :smirk:
Looks like winter may have finally broken here. *crosses fingers* I really hope it has because I am SICK of the snow!
I got some really good news recently about baby #2. When I went for my anatamy ultrasound, they said the umbilical cord had one artery instead of two, which causes them to look closer for other problems with the baby. Since my dr had me go for the ultrasound so early, there were some things they couldn't see well enough to verify all was good. I was initally scheduled for a follow up ultrasound every 4 weeks for the remainder of my pregnancy to track growth and look for any abnormalities, but when I went to the first follow up, they were able to see everything they couldn't see the first time around and confirmed everything is 100% on track and normal. They don't want to see me again until 32 weeks, though it's up to the discretion of my dr if she still wants me to have the monthly scans. Hearing that took a HUGE weight off of my shoulders.
Also, I went this weekend for my glucose and iron level tests. I've never had issues with my blood sugar levels, even during my first pregnancy, but it seemed like my dr was convinced there would be issues this time around.
Got my results back today, and they are perfectly normal! :clap:
Hooray for good news! :)
Praise God!!!
So today I registered for classes. I'm going for a certificate in Medical Billing and Coding. I was going to finish a degree in Psychology, but I decided this will be a better fit for me. I could work from home even!
I've also been on the phone all day long. Ugh. First with the financial aide department, then registration, then with my mom, then with the VA and now Xfinity. I'm about to turn my phone off. I don't think I've talked this much all year. lol
Now gotta clean...or take a nap. I haven't decided yet. lol
I need to be sleeping; however, I can't seem to fall asleep!!! Tonight is not going to be a fun night at work...not that any night is a fun night at work!!! 😡

...Okay, maybe two Dr. Peppers!!! 😉
I've basically survived on caffeine today. Didn't sleep at all last night. I did manage to sleep for an hour, but it wasn't enough. Trying to decide what to make for dinner or if we should just eat out. lol
Nice choice about school, Ash! :thumbsup2:
Heather, I had to go gluten free for almost two years. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions or want some ideas. :)
:beret:
Dr. Pepper and B-12 seem to be working! If only everyone were working too!!! :hypocrite: Actually, a fairly good night all things considered! Must have been the "Jesus, Help Me" prayer; I said as the alarm went off after only three hours of sleep!!! 😊

More to the point...all the people I had to run around making sure they were doing what they were supposed to be doing!!! Some were...some weren't!! ☹
I'm at work. It finally stopped raining. The river is over its banks.
:couch:
I thought I'd posted here today, but apparently not. Made it through the day- it started misty, but ended without a lot of rain. Could use prayer for a very serious situation involving the in-laws family- I'll just say that it is very bad and will doubtless affect a very sweet family member and church member.
And in sharing, I am trying to find the mind of God for tomorrow night's service...
Today is the first day that I have been able to hold any sort of nutrition in my body for more than an hour. It's been glorious!!
I should have said my "Lord, help me"!!! prayer tonight! Meh!!; 😩 Tired of stupidity, laziness, childish behavior, poor work ethics...unprofessionalism!!!!
Sorry to vent so much lately! I was raised to work hard, do the job efficiently, and to do the job right....I'm having a hard time living in a world where we pay people for nothing; we pay people to be nothing, we pay for people's poor choices; and lack of pride!!! 😲

Thanks Ruby! I'm so excited. I have a practice class that I'm excited to get started in. lol I'm such a nerd when it comes to school. 10 page paper? no problem!
:hi: I'm at work.
:stupid: Well, not literally. But I too am at work....
Someone please tell me it's almost nap time. A certain small someone has been talking n.o.n.s.t.o.p. and my ears are worn out. :o
:beret:
A nap sounds good to me...
I'm dozing off on the couch does that count?
Went back to work today. Only had to work 5 hours but I ended up going to lunch with my boss. We needed to have a discussion about the dude over my department. He has no idea what he is doing, gets flustered easily, yells at us when we are trying to figure out what is going on, and then starts throwing things. Something must be done.
Jenn, did you feel the earthquake tonight?

Yeah, you'll get a lot of that. I've found a few things that help me deal with other people's laziness.
1. It's not my fault.
2. I do my job the best I can.
3. I still get paid.
If anything they do interferes with any of those I report it to the boss. Otherwise I just do my job and go on.

I use a root canal as my standard if measurement.
If a situation arises and I can say "I had more fun getting a root canal" then I find a way out of the current situation.
The only root canal I had was a piece of cake. The nerve was already dead....the tooth was abscessed and that was horrrrrrrid, but the root canal procedure itself was simple as pie..... I can't even remember if I was numbed for it or not. It hurt afterward again until the infection was gone, but the actual root canal was easy peasy.
/me bludgeons everyone in the room.
They tried doing a root canal once. They gave up and just pulled the tooth. The roots were too twisted.
Rearranged my dorm room. Had to move some of the rm's stuff. She's gone to SC for spring break. I had a youth pastor once who taught me it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Probably not the only thing he wanted to teach to stick with me. But we has measured the room the other day. I had 62 inches across the room. She has 128 inches. She ended up giving up about 5 inches for me to swing my bed around. She'll be ok.
Made pizza for dinner. Crust (from a can lol), homemade sauce: blood orange olive oil with a little virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, red pepper and salt, then it's all topped with bell pepper, spinach, shallots, black olives, pepperoni and mozzarella. Holy moly it's amazing. Keep getting tastes of the blood orange olive oil. Delish! :fork:
Off work until Tuesday. Our Young Adult retreat is this weekend and it's a ministry one. SO HYPED!!!! :clap:
Lou had to take off earlier than usual and get Chey from school. She has the pink-eye. :pound: That means I get to play Mr Mom tomorrow. And it's supposed to rain. I wanted to drive the new toy, but no. On the other hand, I got the handheld ham radios I'd ordered in and got them programmed today....
Despite the canned crust I would like to try that pizza.
The dentist said he had never seen a nerve that large in a tooth in someone my age. He had seen nerves that large in people much younger... either I have young teeth or I have a lot of nerve. He said he had a habit of extracting the whole nerve in one piece, but he couldn't get all of that one in one piece. I asked him what would he do with it it he could get it out in a chunk, frame it? But apparently nobody would have wanted a framed tooth nerve on the wall. :roll:
I'm at work. It's gray and rainy again today. Texas needs the rain but I sure need some sunshine, too.
So how was the root canal? How is your mouth?
Unpleasant but not painful (kinda like nails on a chalkboard feeling).
And sore but not terribly so. The most hurt is where he stuck me with the needle.
A friend of mine had a phone accident and lost 300 contacts just like that. Is it old fashioned nowadays to keep a .txt file on the computer? It's an extra step, true, but if something ever happened to my phone...
It has rained all flippin' day. It finally stopped just a few ago. And a certain pot stirrer that is well known here is within 20 minutes of being here...Ham Radio and Corvettes for the weekend. It'll be grand.
In Tyler this weekend for our young adult retreat. We're in Longview now for the Sectional youth rally.
Hi Sandra! :hi:
Isaac, if I knew how to do that, I totally would. I don't even have my husband's cell number memorized. I'm toast if something ever happens to my phone. :/
Loooooong day today. Every time I have a day like this, I think of what I've heard Sandra say before.... when you have little people, the days are long but the years are short.

Uhh haha. It was at Bro Moores?
Oh ok. That's the one she goes to last I heard.
SippinTea: It's simplicity itself. On your computer go to Start and you'll find Notepad. It's a small text editor. Every version of Windows from '95 on has it. You use it like Microsoft Word, just more simple and with less features. Make a list and save it somewhere. It saves as a .txt file.
Or just right click on your desktop and select New File.
Yesterday was one of those days where everything in the world went again me [including a pothole large enough to swallow my tiny Toyota] but by golly I knew it meant church would be that much better. There is a youth revival at Gate City [where I've kinda ended up going the last few weeks]. The evangelist is Bro Chris Green from TX. I won't go into everything that happens but can I just say I'm so happy that even when we are feeling the lowest of low that God is still looking out for us and hearing the cries of our hearts. I woke up this morning still wanting to shout.
Day off. I'm going out to buy me a new skirt I've had my eye on and budgeting for then finishing up some homework and getting this room clean before my RM comes back and school starts back up. We only have 6 weeks of classes left and I feel like the professors are going to make us pay for missing 2 weeks for the snow.
Also, 2 months from today I get to wake up and marry my best friend :cool:
Well. It's been an awesome weekend, despite the everlastin' rain. Yesterday evening, Min showed up and we got lost playing ham radio and talking about it....When Lou got in, she informed us that it was nearly 8 pm and we might wanna go eat. We loaded up and went to Hardee's, enjoying the meal and companionship.
Then today, Lou had to go to work early, and I couldn't sleep. I got up when she did, at 4:45 am. When Slug-a-bed got up, we took the 'vette to town and around the area a bit despite the rain. Had a good time, with Mini only looking terrified one or two times, one of which was captured in a picture. But his camera is flawed, as it made me appear much more fluffy than I recall. However, it did accurately capture my smile while he was appearing scared silly........ :P
Anytime the Galoot and Roscoe are able to be in the same area is a good time. It's probably good for the world that his family moved away from my area a generation ago. Had we went through our teen years together, there possibly would've been jail cells occupied. :lol:
For attempted murder by the people y'all irritated?

:hi: Still cloudy here. I'm ready to see a little sunshine.
Beautiful blue sky with a large yellow circular object showing. It appears to be emitting light and heat. Not sure what it is, maybe an alien being? Whatever it is- it is welcome here.
I'm at work. Bah. I'm ready for a weekend.
Both yesterday and today it was gorgeous outside, slight breeze, sunny and around 73*...where was I at? Stuck in the hole of a kitchen at work. Sigh.
Church this morning then straight to work till after 9pm...straight home and gotta be back at 7am. I am so sick of this deli that I could SCREAM! I want out so bad! PLEASE let me back up front to cashier again!!
But you're so good at cutting the cheese they love you in the deli.... :hypocrite: :P
As for me.... Same ol' same ol' here basically.... Got 40 million things that need done and I'm 63 years behind schedule.

Because several people quit at one time and they asked me to help them out, since originally I applied for that position, they put me in there. But as a cashier, I loved it and I changed my mind about the deli. Since I've been in there...about 5 weeks now...ppl have been hired, last a few days am quit. I'll never get out unless they can keep help!
And Seth is right...they love me in there cause I don't have to be trained. I have been doing this kind of stuff since 1999 and I have done it ALLLLLL. They want me cause I can do anything that's needed with minimal instruction. I guess I'm valueable...a blessing and a curse of you ask me. :smirk2:
BTW...so far only ONCE, ONCE have I had to slice some meat on the slicer. There isn't a high demand for it here like there was at Winn Dixie...we sell hot meals mostly here. Not cold deli stuff...we have it, but it doesn't sell much.
Back at work. Had to drive the Canyon in today- I was at church last night and was talking to a young man in our church when I noticed that the right rear tire has cord showing. :o If Mini and I'd known they were that bad, we both would've had scared faces. :biglaugh: Good thing I have new tires ordered....now they need to hurry up and get here. :pound:

It has also been cloudy and raining here in west TN for much, much too long. With all the snow we had lately and all the days the schools have been out, I was surprised they would make kids go to school last week - I mean really, couldn't they see all those clouds? It could have rained at any moment! :P
Okay, that's my sarcasm quota for today. But now the sun is finally shining here.
It's really foggy here this morning.
Isaac, re: the phone numbers thing.... I thought you were talking about a simple way of transferring data from the phone to my computer. Of course I COULD type it all out manually, but it might take me a million years or so. :P
Aaaand we're back to having issues with the Subaru. So tired of it. We may just end up getting something different. Not exactly how I wanted to be using our tax refund, but... *shrug*... we may need to. We shall see.
:beret:
Had to deal with a guy on the phone today who wanted to order a remanufactured turbo for his Subaru. Tried to tell him a reman turbo is a bad idea. He wouldn't listen. Even had to bump it to my boss. Which was a good thing too. I was tired of talking to my ex-husband. I don't think he realized it was me.
Beautiful blue skies here today!!
:laughat:
HeatherB considering it would have been much easier to just let him buy the remanufactured turbo, I have to admire your kind heartedness and ethics.
SippinTea: There are ways to do that too.

Or if you have an Android phone, just backup your contacts to a Gmail account.

Wow, that's an old article. It talks about Alltel and Cingular and those have been absorbed by other carriers for quite a while now. lol
I just went back and looked again. That was written in 2006.
I quick-googled up a solution from my phone. Now that I'm on a real computer I'll find something better.
Here's one way. You'll need to buy a USB adapter though.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5780700_copy-cell-phone-numbers-computer.html
Basically the USB adapter is a SIM card reader.
If you have an android phone open the google play store and search for "back up contacts." You'll get a lot of programs (apps) and most of them will be free.
PLEASE NOTE: I have not tried any of these... I do it the old fashioned way. However... Super Backup looks good and it's free. Has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating too. The free version comes with an advertisement banner - if you want to pay just to get rid of the ads you can, but the free version seems to work well.
MCBackup also looks good, and seems to have no ad banner for the free program. It has a 4.1 star user rating.
And the list goes on. Contact Backup, from TopOfStack Software, is free and looks good. Also a 4.1 rating.
All of these save the contacts as a file, and you can save the file on your phone and transfer it to your computer, or email the file to yourself, or do whatever you want with the file. If you need to restore contacts or transfer them to another phone, open the file and it will essentially give your phone the contacts it needs to fill your address book back up.
Oh, and some of these programs have an iPhone version. For all you mac/iStuff users out there.
Rather pleased here, today. It started when I discovered the schedule for next week is posted. My week long vacation is on it. :P As we have a somewhat hard and fast rule that no one gets vacation during session, I had assumed it was denied, (I had put in and been approved sometime ago contingent to session being over) since session is NOT over. But they gave it to me- and lou and Chey are off for spring break, so we are going out of town. :freaky2:
Then, after that pleasant discovery, my captain enlisted me to take a patrol car to a shop two hours away...not only did I enjoy the ride there and back it 1) got me away from the building and 2) it torqued my sergeant, which delights me to no end, as I consider him an incompetent idiot. Having held that position in another department, I know how that job should be done, and he isn't even close to doing it well. Were I evaluating him as his boss, he'd not like the report, I promise.
Two questions Bro. Bobby:
1. Why is the car shop two hours away? Isn't there somewhere closer that could fix cars? Couldn't you do the job yourself, motorhead that you are? Or is it a warranty thing and you have to take it to a dealership shop?
2. Why would the sergeant care?
3. Which way are you going out of town? To the east perhaps?
1) It is body damage that was caused by an arkansas highway department worker. They want it fixed by the company we bought the car from- I suspect someone higher up is friends with the dealership owners..
2) Monday is our short day...only three of us from 7 am until 9, so he was shorthanded. This meant he had to do something other than sit and think up ways to cause me grief.
3) Unknown. We have kicked around everything from heading north to Branson, West to Route 66 in Rusty, or on to the Grand canyon, or east to Nashville, then north to Bowling Green. We will probably decide the day we pull out....
I would mention that if you head east I'm right on the way... and Shiloh Park is right near here... that is I would mention that, but I don't want to influence you to go any certain direction, so I won't mention that. :hypocrite:
I won't even mention that one place really near where I live serves the best fried catfish ever (whole fish, not fillets) and the best pan-fried chicken livers ever, or that another place has some really good pork barbecue, or that there's a good all-you-can-eat chinese buffet near here, or... nope, not gonna mention that.
You could always come down here and see me!

You could slip in a Linux install on a flash drive. They make some Linux variants specifically for older, slower computers. Boot from it and get some work done, then reboot the computer and slip the flash drive back in your pocket. Even set the same desktop background so nobody would glance at your screen and see anything amiss.

Just found out a friend passed away. She was a HUGE encouragement to me when I first got into church 14 years ago. She had backslid in recent years and had many issues. Please keep her family in your prayers.

Had a lady interested in having me do childcare. I had a few misgivings about it. This morning she needed a last minute babysitter for both of her girls, so I decided to help her out, and see how it went. Ummm.... I won't be doing childcare for her. :cool:

I'm really disappointed how some 'church' people are. My friend's [and mine] former church is having anniversary services this week. The pastor has told the congregation that he would prefer them to be in service and not to attend the funeral tomorrow. I just really have no words and am thankful that I no longer attend that church.
School today wasn't too horrible. Even my English professor said he just wasn't feeling like doing school today so he took attendance and let us leave. Went to dinner with Brandon then finally bought my mom's birthday present. My mamaw is throwing her a party on saturday. It's not every day you turn 50!

Evening, all. It's been a good day. Dropped Chey off for school this morning and met one of my retired friends who is a corvette nut for breakfast. His wife passed a year or so ago, and he confided to me a while back that he has difficulty making himself get out around people. He's a retired cop, and as such has a Seth-like (and Roscoe like) attitude towards people- for the most part he doesn't trust them, and doesn't particularly like them. However, he and I get along tremendously, so I've made it a point to roust him out for breakfast on Fridays and we generally wind up running around the area in one of my toys or one of his.
Today, it was mine- we drove the 'vette in the neighborhood of 100 miles or better around curvy back roads looking for old cars. 'Twas a great day.
And it appears that I have been outvoted on my desire to take Rusty on a route 66 trip- it appears we are headed to the coast to see a beach. Therefore, if you see or hear news reports of a beached whale- they are NOT true, I am probably just lying next to the water soaking up some rays. There is a possibility that we shall see a GP'r or two though....everything is tentative at this point..I am gonna put one of my ham radios in Lou's Malibu since I obviously can't take any of my automotive toys...
:hyper:
:girltongue:
It is finished.
Hotel booked, now to see when Lou wants to leave. As an added bonus, I found out a brother that I have talked to for years lives in Seminary, so maybe he and I will get to grub out....
Nobody posts all day? Slackers. :hypocrite:
Well, we decided to leave early. Stopped in some lakeside diner in Louisiana for seafood. It was way expensive, and only decent. Drove to Vicksburg, where we've found us a very nice hotel. Lou doesn't know it, but being a Civil War nut, I have no intention of leaving the area without finding the battlefield...
I think it's hard to miss. Right off interstate.
Mini is hoping we'll post bail for him. If anyone is willing to help, let me know.

Did you ever decide where you would move to?
Yes, we're looking at Spokane, WA
:o That's a move....
We're already in Northern California so it's not too far away. The weather will be a change but a nice change. Moving back to the country. lol
Made meatballs and rice and gravy for dinner. Brown rice so dinner was all brown :smirk2: I usually make 2 vegges with every meal but I didn't want to. I'm lazy. Chopped up some green onions so my apt smells like onions now. And I'm exhausted. The graveyard shift is hard. Ugh.
It finally stopped raining for a bit. I'd like to save some rain for July & August.
After a bazillion miles and tons of roads that made me think we need Rusty here to explore with. ....we have invaded Mel's city. Lawd, it's warm here....
It's such a nice day here. A little cloudy but it's still bright and it's cool and comfortable. I have all the windows open and enjoying the day. But I'm sooooo tired!
Welp, we met up with Mel.....let Chey play on the sands a bit, then attacked the local Golden Corral. I tried to uphold the standards of the Bubbas, but sadly lacked the willpower and appetite to shut it down- but I did make them realize I was there...Now I'm wore slap out.
I expected a bit more from you...I thought you would have a few more plates stacked than you did. Lol
A good time was had. Roscoe is taller than I expected. Ha!
Vacation!!!!!!!! ...sadly I'm so worn down by work and life; I just want to do nothing but sleep! 😩

I've never met Mel but I'm guessing she is in fact taller... um, taller than...

<.<
Never mind. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut cause I know who has a gun.
I'm at work. Thankfully the sun is shining today. :D
Ugh. We just got up.....now to go explore the area.
Mel is just tall. She is taller than most geepers I have met.

:beret:
Hi Ruby :hi:
Seth is taller than me.
Just ate with Roscoe and family...The Shed...AWESOME!
Then we took a tour of my church and they met Granny, Sis Ramsey and Pastor.
Now I'm headed to work and they are exploring my area.
So miserable today. Going on day #7 of sickness. Day 4 (Thursday), I saw the Minute Clinic practitioner. She said it was all still viral, and they won't/don't typically give any antibiotic until it's been 5+ days. On I went...down a merry trail of death.
Saturday woke up, my left ears clogged, I can barely hear and it's very painful at times. Sunday and on into today, I'm just deteriorating at quick pace. Tried to get into the DR, but of course they have nothing "open" today, but I can leave a message with Medical Assistance and see if they'll squeeze me in. I don't have much hope for that.
So I'll try to see the Minute Clinic again when I'm done with work. (It's in my CVS store and free for me because I'm an employee. They're just limited on what they can do: i.e. no steroid shots which is soo what I need).
:sick: Please pray for this death stricken blonde. :surrender:
Been an incredibly long day. After meeting with Mel and enjoying The Shed BBQ, we went to the beach, then Lou went through every dadgum thrift store on the Coast which completely annoyed me.
Finally went through Jefferson Davis' house, where I found it ironic that I could take a penny with Lincoln's image on it, put it in a machine and pay 50 cents, and it came out with Jeff Davis' picture on it. Made me laugh.
Tomorrow, we may go ride an airboat. Not sure, but I'm considering it...
So tired. What was I thinking when I invited a bunch of moms and kids over for tomorrow afternoon?!? :updown: :bugeyed: :mixedup: :spin:
:beret:
Poor Ruby. :( Hi everybody :hi: I should have got on earlier. I see it was fairly busy then.
I'm up again. Another late night. That's ok. I start school on Wednesday so I'm preparing. I'm so looking forward to it. Going to keep me really busy tho. I start with Medical Terminology and Human Anatomy & Physiology I. I dare say there will be much to keep me busy with that.
I'm trying to switch back to sleeping at night again instead of all day. I need to watch over my husband while he sleeps but I get absolutely nothing done anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to work on laundry which I absolutely detest. I don't mind washing and drying the clothes, I just hate folding/hanging/putting away. You would think with all the technology we have today then there would be a way to get all that done. :smirk2:
Bobby: So if I go to the coast I shouldn't bother looking for music in the thrift stores there? They should hang a sign over the CD rack, "Lou was here."
The penny story sounds about right. With the South printing out money as fast as it could, the penny would go up to about fifty cents.
Looks like it's going to be another beautiful sunny day but I'm stuck inside.
Urgh. Think we are headed for Moss Point and an airboat ride with gators.......hope it's a good tour.
That sounds fun. :D
The airboat ride he speaks of is directly across the hwy from the house we had that was destroyed during Isaac. I live three years across from there but never went on the ride...Chel and I discussed it once, but never got around to it.
Let us know how it went.

We enjoyed it. A bit expensive- right at $100 for the three of us, but we only vacation once a year. Got to see some gators, then the airboat ride was about 30 minutes long. Guide was very knowledgeable, gave a mini lesson on gators, then really got on the airboat and sent us flying across the swamp. The look on Chey's face was priceless- little face was split from ear to ear with a grin when he sent the boat skipping sideways and did a donut in the middle of the pond. She says it's the best we've done ...:lol:
For Mini and the other gearheads- the boat was powered by a big block 454 Chevy engine with straight headers. when he got on it, it sounded like all of heaven's calvary coming. :lol:
MelodyB: I had nothing to do with any house getting destroyed. :P
Yeah, I know you meant the hurricane. I got so much teasing when that one went through...
:hi:
So how early is early in Roscoe-land?
I was told they were leaving "early" Wednesday morning, but would meet me for breakfast before they left my area...
I'm up. It's 7:00am...really to go, just waiting on the call to when and where to meet.
:teeth:
Bobby eats breakfast a lot later than many. Usually about 9:30am from what I've seen. A man could starve by then...
One for all you Texans on the forum:
A Californian, a Texan and a New Yorker were attending a convention in a little town just outside Las Vegas They were standing in a seedy bar enjoying a few drinks.
The Californian grabbed his wine spritzer, knocked it back in one gulp, then he threw the glass against the back wall, smashing it to pieces. He told the other startled drinkers that the standard of living was so high in California that they never drank out of the same glass twice.
Next the New Yorker finished drinking his Manhattan and threw his glass against the back wall. He loudly proclaimed that in New York they were all so rich from banking and imports that they never drank out of the same glass twice.
Next the Texan drank his beer, drew a revolver and shot the Californian and the New Yorker. As he was returning the gun to his holster he told the wide-eyed bartender that in Texas they had so many New Yorkers and Californians that they never had to drink with the same ones twice.

Uhhhh....Isaac's right. We just got up. Will text shortly...
:hi: Howdy, y'all.
We met and ate at 8:45. Not bad. I was up early cause I like to have time to shower and dress and be ready...I hate people to have to wait on ME. I want to always be first. And I didnt want to miss his call and be rushed...
8:45 was perfect. We had Denny's. It was yummy and after a sad goodbye, they went on their Merry way.
Now I guess I will return to my regularly secheduled life.
:sadbounce:
We had a ball, and really appreciated Mel taking time for us. Sometime with more notice, we'll show up and do the place up right....
And, I have now invaded another GPer's town, and set up headquarters at their local motel-possibly the only motel- and am walking out the door to further intrude in their life by showing up at church. :teeth:
I started out my day by trying to oversleep. Then the rest of the day went downhill from there...... :smirk2:
Bob picked the wrong motel. If only he had asked someone before booking a room... like his wife told him to...
Hush Isaac.
So my good friends Bob and Lou
Bobbed into the state and came through
They bobbed about
And then bobbed out
And I bid them all adieu.
Bob talked to uncle Fred about cars, motorcycles, law enforcement and a lot of other stuff. Then he talked to my pastor and senior (retired) pastor at great length. Lou talked to our piano players because they are all music nuts of a feather. Their daughter Cheyenne ran around with the kids at church and made me tired just watching her.
Either I know some good people in my church or I know some really talkative people on the forum, because I've noticed whenever people I know from the forum come through town they find a lot of people to talk to at my church. Ah well, it's good to know good people. :cool:
I rarely speak...but I had to do something while Lou was talking music. :hypocrite:
I actually liked everyone I met there...his pastor and I hit it off immediately, and I thought he was a great guy until he threatened me with the pulpit if I should ever happen by again. But he does have a great church. And the motel is okay..not great, but survivable.
Well, if they'd have come here they wouldn't have had to get a motel, they could have stayed in our cabin. We've added on to it since the time chellebelle came through. I was so embarrassed then, she had more folks with her than I knew & there wasn't enough room.

Never can tell where we'll pop up, Fuzzy.....so far every time I get close to y'all, something happens. :sadbounce:
Can't sleep. So I decided to get up and get some school work done. Now that I'm up, I'm on GP instead and very, very tired. ugh. lol That's how my life goes. If I go lay down again I'll be wide awake.
Corporate inspection today. Everyone at work is going to be strung as tight as a high tension power line. I'm going to try to keep in mind that it's just their nerves talking when I get snapped at, but it might be hard to remember at times.
We have more workers on corporate inspection day than at any other time. I sometimes wonder why they go through this charade. They know perfectly well they are not seeing a normal day at work. We go through it because it means our jobs, but I don't know why they bother.
Fortunately I have two boxes of "Thin Mint" girl scout cookies. As soon as these corporate people leave I'm going to dispel a bit of tension with chocolate. Nobody doesn't like thin mints.
I guess I'm nobody. I don't care for Thin Mints. ;)

Lawd. After over 1500 miles, all cooped up in a car with my lovely wife and child, I have made it home. And I am so tired of driving, I don't even feel like driving my 'vette. :lol:
It was a grand vacation, made all the better by the friends we were able to meet. But I must admit I am glad to be home. Domino is glad we are, too....
Good Afternoon All! Hope everyone had a great day today!
I have a box of thin mints tucked away for post-wedding dress day.
Possibly going to Nashville for the day Saturday. Have a hall mate who has a mandatory meeting for study abroad and all her rides bailed. Now I have so much homework I'm going to offer to let her take my car. If she's uncomfortable with that I guess I'll be sitting in Nashville doing homework for at least 4 hours.
49 days til I can eat those thin mints!!!! :cool:
:hi: It was 37 this morning when I checked before I left the house. It's already up to 41 now. But a day or so ago it was mid 60s in the morning. This weather is crazy.

G'morning, everyone! :hi: Bella is under the weather, currently sitting in the big recliner and "reading" Little Bear to herself and two dolls. The boys are bickering about their own intelligence levels and government. Or something like that. I'm kind of trying to tune it out. ;)
SO, SO, SO thankful Chris has this job, but I miss him terribly. Six days a week for the foreseeable future is making me feel a bit like a single parent mom. :o
:beret:
Oh, one other thing... I have a ridiculous amount of SATB books and CD's for Christmas, Easter, Kid's Choir, Etc that I really need to get rid of. It's hundreds of dollars worth of music, but I need the space in my garage. If anyone here is interested in it, I'd make you a REALLY good deal. Isaac? Are you still doing music stuffs at church? Have any use for this stuff?
:beret:
It was good to sleep in my own bed last night. Now it's back to the usual. Fixing to make my weekly run to town for groceries, bill paying, ect... Lou actually wants me to take her car and wash it. She's lost it- I haven't got to drive my 'vette or Rusty for the last week. No way I am driving the Bore-mobile.....:lol:

Left work before I could be yelled at today. Thankfully my hours are supposed to go up some next week. I'm having to dip into the wedding fund just to cover my car payment next week. I slept terrible last night. Hopefully D will take my car so I can sleep late tomorrow. We shall see.
We are taking a short weekend trip to see family. It's our last trip before the baby arrives. And of course, it has to snow today. :(
I don't think it's supposed to be too bad, just hoping it stops before we leave tonight.
Music? Did somebody say music?
How many CDs, what kind of music, how many books, what kind of music, how much will you charge, how fast can they get here?
*deep breath*
Isaac, I'm going to email you with an attachment file that should have the whole list.
:beret:
Had an awesome dinner with my best lady tonight. [Since Brandon gets a best man, i've decided to call her a best lady. Matron of honor just sounds boring and matronly for a 22 year old...] Ran into 2 ladies from the new church i've been going too. Both came right up and hugged me. It was sweet. Also if you've never eaten at a McAlister's Deli you should. It was amazing!!!
Also went by Hobby Lobby and purchased the materials to make my own bouquets. :cool:
AND I got back to campus and the girl who I was supposed to drive to Nashville tomorrow was talking to my rm. She is headed to Greeneville now to pick up her mom's car which had been decided before I was even able to talk to her about my pile of homework. Thank ya Jesus!
Yup, HeatherB is a native. She put that e in Greeneville. :cool:
"Best lady"... love this. I've always thought "matron of honor" sounded rather boring and matronly too. LOL
"Greeneville"... wait. There's another way to spell it?? I mean, I'm definitely NOT a native, but... wow.
If anyone has some really challenging, physical, outdoor work that needs doing (Cheese??), you can have my boys for the day. :updown:
:beret:
There is Greeneville, TN but just a few hours away is Greenville, SC. It's quite confusing.
Have a very large chunk of my reading done. Unfortunately I was under the assumption that my rm's boyfriend was coming in this weekend. He did and despite the fact that they have a hotel room somewhere they are still hanging out in my room......just 47 more days Heather.....
I can explain it. Greeneville was named after Nathaniel Greene.
Beautiful day here.
Ruby, my husband would be glad to take y'all's boys.
So it's the last day of my vacation...I was checking my schedule online; and apparently with out asking or informing me; they have changed my days off! So it looks as though I no longer have weekends off! *no words*
Trying to be thankful I have a job; but after 11 years at a thankless job...I'm some what frustrated, & depressed!
One of the gals at our office got laid off Friday. :(
she'd been there 8 1/2 years
I have all my reading done and have applied for 2 jobs. Finding something that I could work evenings and weekends would greatly take the stress out of signing up for classes for fall.
I'm pretty sure I know what I want to right about for my paper so I admit that I'm putting it off for now. I'm tired of looking at the computer screen [all my readings were online]

I keep listing the blessings of my job!!! Regardless of the stress...there is always a positive side!!!
It's been a blah day.It started off rainy, then cleared up but is cool and breezy. I've played around in the ham radio room, made a couple of contacts with operators in countries I've never talked to before, but am still bored. And dreading returning to work tomorrow. Bah.
I dread this week. Its gonna be top notch crazy.
I SO did not want to return to work today. And, they are having two o'clock service and potluck today. I get off at 3, and drive an hour. I won't even get a sniff of the food. Preacher don't mess around when he's between saints and food....:sadbounce:
Excellent service this morning. I almost overslept again. Drank a Dr Pepper around 8 last night and I haven't been drinking that much caffeine lately. Up til almost 2 am. Sheesh.
Brandon got the call and he'll be transferring AZ's before the wedding. By the time everything goes through though he'll start working at his new store 1-2 weeks before.
Another beautiful day here.
Hey Bob, I was going to brighten up your first-day-of-work-after-vacation with the following, but today was hectic here and I forgot. So let this brighten up your second day.
Life is a beautiful thing.
I don't take a moment for granted.
I live in a fabulous state and am blessed beyond measure.

LOL. I like.
Unlike my second day, which is starting out in ways I do NOT like. It seems that my legislators, while I was gone, passed a religious freedoms protection bill- basically saying that if your belief is that gay marriage is wrong and you are a baker, you can politely decline to bake their cake....that kinda thing.
Well, apparently we have a "LGBT community". And they feel that it is discriminatory. So they are protesting and supposedly shall have over 100 protestors here today.
I have friends that are gay. I disagree strongly with it, think their lifestyle will send them to hell, and have bible to back it up. I love them- and hate their sin. They know this, and don't "push" their choice on me. They know that I will in no way condone it. If they wanted a cake, or that kinda thing, they would go to a bakery, or whatever, that had no issue and if someone turned them down, they'd go somewhere else. No prob.
Not these idiots. They have decided that everything is an affront to them and they will protest. So I will have the militant gays here to deal with. Lord. Keep my spirit right.
Keep your spirit right and your pistol in the car trunk. :hypocrite:

I forgot to share this last week!!!
When I was telling Logan, (a nephew of MawMaw) that my friends were coming over and that Roscoe was a cop, he asked me (he's 13) "wow! A cop! I wonder if his breath smells like donuts!?"
SMH.
That was awesome though and we laughed.
Lol! Nice!

Only a couple paragraphs left for my draft tomorrow. Have to try to get a jump on Thursdays readings because I'll be spending Wednesday evening at the funeral home. Brandon's best friend's grandma [who raised him and essentially Brandon] passed away after a terrible battle with cancer. Keep the family in yours prayers please.
Praying Heather.
:hi: Morning, all. Back at work. The protestors were surprisingly low key for the most part yesterday. Figure they'll be back today, as the bill makes its way through the legal system.
Ready for my weekend, already, although it appears I shall have Chey all weekend.
I'm at work. :hi:
Since I'm (still) sick, I'm trying NOT to be at work today. But that's not working out so well for me. :-\ If I could just stay in bed for a couple days I think I could kick this stupid bug. But alas, SAHM's don't have that luxury. Blah. Humbug. Pfft. Piffle. And all the rest of it.

Ended up having a terrible stress migraine last night. Not helped by my rm banging on the door for me to open it because she was too lazy to get her key out of her bookbag. Oh and then I had to listen to her rustling her potato chip bag while watching whatever trashy show she likes on MTV. That was her idea of being quiet in a room with a migraine victim.......only 44 more days.....only 44.......
:headrub: Poor Heather. Migraines are no good.
I think I finally turned the corner with this horrid bug I caught. Feeling considerably better today. *sigh of relief*

Dad is in the hospital again. His wound is still not healed and now has gain green (sp?). Surgery is scheduled for Friday to take off more of his leg. This time above the knee.
He has become so bitter and demanding that I don't even want to go up there and see him. The man he is now is NOT my Daddy that I used to adore. This weekend with family was wonderful, but when I was around him he yelled at me and demanded I help him. Which I didn't. I couldn't. You don't yell at me and expect me to joyously help you. Asking nicely gets you further than yells and demands.

Hi! Busy this past week for school and just life. Thankfully I've got 1 week down and I've currently got a's in both of my classes. I've actually got a higher grade in the human anatomy class that I was more worried about than the other one.....except one of my grades hasn't even come in yet so we shall see!

visitation and funeral service was rough. the poor preacher they had doing the service kept mispronouncing her name. ms linda's pastor from before she got too sick to go to church [or her husband who had a stroke 3 years ago and is completely dependent on help] had moved to georgia in the last year. so the funeral home put the baptist preacher on call up in front of the family. it was almost as bad as a friends wedding i went to last year when the pastor was announcing them mr and mrs and had to ask the groom for their last name....
mom has realized the wedding and wedding shower is coming up soon and has went into freak out/planning mode. she doesn't realize i have most of this worked out already :roll:
I like hugs.
Back at work. Gonna get free BBQ today....and supposed to have crowds again today. Bah. Glad it's my Friday.

Survived the day. Went and got the Corvette out and enjoyed an evening ride in it. Had a date night planned since Chey is at a friends house- but communication was poor and Lou had already planned to help decorate the church for Easter. She did ride in the Corvette for the first time. I don't think she is as enamored of it as I am...
Tomorrow, I'm gonna try to help Pastor at the church. It appears some honeybees have found a way into our fellowship hall attic. We've got to see about sealing up the entry point and relocating the bees. :o
Bob: Just find someone who doesn't know how to cook and turn him loose in the kitchen. Smoke the bees out.
Wait... do you have anyone around there who doesn't know how to cook? All the food I tried at y'all's dinner was pretty good.
In local news, tonight the whole family will be descending on a small restaurant somewhere in Jackson to celebrate my birthday. Said birthday was last Monday but we usually do these things the next weekend so everyone can be there. Last night I dreamed that EVERYONE was coming, including my father who lives up in Kentucky. When I woke up and realized it was just a dream I was slightly unhappy, especially as he already said he can't come.
Happy belated birthday, Isaac.
Yes, Happy birthday! I had no clue.
Bee's door has been locked. I think they are moving. Church yard mowed, and I've managed to go home and clean up. Fixin' to fire up the 'vette and wander a bit west to stir up trouble... :freaky2:
Feh. Trip was canceled by the weather. And various members of the family can't make it tonight or Sunday. The little restaurant is spared... for now. Current plans are for next week.
But I'm still hungry for sushi...
In other news, I finally switched away from my world's smallest android phone. I loved my Xperia Mini because it would fit anywhere, but it wouldn't do 4G and 3G is slower than molasses in January. So I finally got a big slab of a normal smartphone. *sigh* How DO you people put up with such cumbersome devices?
There are two upsides though. 4G speed is obviously one of them. The other is the color, which turns out to be great camouflage. At work they asked me to stay and help until late at night and I was playing some christian rap (nobody cares at night) and they couldn't even see the phone. I stuck it in with the grills and it blended in so well they couldn't find it, even with music blaring out of it.

Pray for Melbs and her family. I saw on fb her father passed.
Yeah, I got a text from her early this morning, but I wasn't sure if it was public knowledge yet so didn't say anything. It must be by now though, because various people are posting on her FB.
My heart hurts for her.
Aww.
/me leaves Mel a hug
Yes. It's ok to tell. Everyone pretty much knows now.
His surgery went well and they expected a full recovery. Last night his heart stopped and they lost him 4 times. They got him back and he was on the ventilatior and then they called mom to come up to sign papers and so I was also called. I left work and by the time I got there, mom, Pastor and aunt Linda were pulling up and they wouldn't let us go to ICU. We went to the waiting area with the DR and she said they lost him the 5th time and they just let him go.
And that was all.
Pastor said that yesterday morning before surgery he was very repentant. He knew he had been in the wrong to be so bitter and hateful to everyone. They had prayer and Pastor said dad was much more peaceful after that. So hopefully he made his peace with God.
It's mixed emotions today. I teared up some, but can't full out cry yet. Idk what to feel.
Been praying for ya, Mel, as well as for the Lawrence family from Jayess, Mississippi...Very rare poster "Snoop" a good friend of mine, lost his aunt today as well. She was a wonderful Godly lady, in my mind the very definition of an Apostolic lady. So much pain today...my heart hurts for ya'll. :sadbounce:
In normal sharing- I went over to Mini and Chellebelle's last night, had a wonderful evening of fellowship and food, and stayed the night. Mini and I got up this morning and went to a hamfest, where Mini passed his first ham test and is a ham now, or will be when the FCC gets his paperwork approved. Then we went out in the Corvette and he took some awesome pics and drove the 'vette some. :thumbsup2:
When I left and headed home, I found the two lanes and stuck to them, finally taking a route I haven't been before, over Mount Magazine. It was curvy and good roads with little traffic- perfect. I had a ball...
Now I'm home waiting on my queen and princess, stuck in the ham room because Lou locked the door and took my house key so she could replace hers that was lost. I didn't think she was THAT upset about the Corvette/ham radio/ everything else I've bought recently, but I MAY have been mistaken...:lol:

Oh Mel! I'm so sorry! It's been almost 3 years since my dad passed away and I still miss him so. It feels so hard to lose a parent. I was the same way. It took me awhile to grieve. Dad died late at night all alone and I went to sign the cremation papers since we couldn't afford a funeral or anything. It was so odd. I didn't ask to see him because..I just didn't want to see him like that. I never really got closure and it seems so strange. It's kind of like he is just away for an extended vacation I guess. I'm so sorry Mel *hugs*
Where did my weekend go?
Thanks everyone...it was hard at church yesterday especially, but I think it had more to do with the powerful service we had rather than grief...but I was already a tad emotional so the spirit just escalated my emotions.
*HUGS to Mel again*
I didn't go to church yesterday. I know I know. I'm the heathen. I know it sounds terrible but I hate going to church on Easter and Christmas. It's all about look at my pretty new outfit and lets take family photos. My entire FB and IG feed was blown up with family photos. As someone who has NEVER went to church with their immediate family, it stinks. My uncle's family way back in the day when I was a kid would take one family photo of just their family and a 2nd to include me just so I didn't feel awkward [which in a way made it more awkward...]. I just will never have that and therefore try to avoid it. I know Brandon and I are creating our own family unit but he works every single sunday at his current job so alas I am the lone wolf.
I've applied for a few different jobs. I'm also about to apply for a work study job on campus that I'm eligible for through FAFSA. One job in particular I feel really good about. It's a smoothie place where I frequent and have also kinda made friends with the co-owner. It's evening and weekends and would greatly relieve my 'how am i going to work out a school and work schedule' stress.
That's about it for now. 38 days til the wedding!!!
Hey Heather - I meant to suggest this the other day, but have you thought about trying for a night shift at a Hotel? Or maybe not the night night shift, but the 3p-11p. If the hotel is slow enough, it could be conducive for your homework lol....
I have actually Jenn, but sadly my future MIL has worked at just about every hotel in the area and has either left under terrible conditions or has said terrible things about me to the ones she has found out I applied for. She's back in the 'I hate Heather' cycle of her life right now so none of them are even giving me a second glance. :-\
Wow really? Good grief.
I umm also forget that I live in a multi-million area metroplex and also right in the middle where the airport is and hotels are on every corner just about. And not everyone has the thousands of options we do. Lol
