Sorry i have to agree with you ! bigger can sometimes mean more work and more pressure. and money is not everything. and if you convined your not interested no point in a visit as its is wasting peoples time.
If say your happy where you are. does that not say it all !!!!

Good Morning, fellow Eve-of-the-Weekend Friends!

Seems incredible that another week has cycled by so fast and that we are moving so quickly through the rolling year.

They say the proof is in the pudding -- I say the proof is in the daily count.
And today's count is 100 proof:
Days to the Season: 213
Days to Christmas Day: 255
Under 2 weeks now to the 200-day Season window and a scant 12 days remain to the 1/3 marker to Christmas Day.
(Why, surely that's enough to intoxicate you!)

Still starting off coolish, where we stand at 42 degrees here at this hour in the capital city.
But a nice warming trend is in the offing, with each day for the next four or five being warmer than the day before.
I'm looking forward to it.

OK, Folks!
It's the Eve of the Weekend.
Is everyone ready to have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday?
Carl says he is.
And if a camel can have a Fabulous Friday, surely we all can.
Especially with the spirit of the Season as our guide!

Good Morning MMC!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I can't wait to see that one, I also want to see the new Three Stooges movie. Everyone keeps picking on me for that, I love the Stooges.

I won't pick on you! I love the Stooges too!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I have baked a "Daimcake" (Icecake)
with 'some help' from this little one ;]

​

My son is much better now tonight,
so I guess he is going to school tomorrow =]

Im going to bed pretty soon..
Have a headache I just can't shake off..

So, goodnight!

Is this a picture of your son? Photography is great!

I am glad he is feeling better! I hope you get well!

Okay I'm not answering my phone tomorrow. I have to much to do around home to go to my sister's house again.

I guess I don't wash the dishes today. I called you 3 times already and you wouldn't answer! :wink:

 

[merrymistletoe]

The home where I work suffers from indoor pollution...they never open windows, it is warm and stuffy, but the owner claims they have and air exchanger that keeps the air clean. Why then do the 2 of them have a cough all the time? I work there several days in a row and get one too. Would love to get someone in to test the air quality but I am sure to get into trouble if I try.

Ok, that was my rant for the day!

if i had to be there & cough like that, i would open windows for a short time, maybe where they couldn't see.

No but he has already called this morning. I was trying to get caught up on my mypoints email's and watching the replay of Sons of Guns.

i'd like to see that, didn't know about that show till yesterday. have you seen the previews to a 3 part show on the Hatfields & Mccoys? Kevin Costner is playing in it w/ a few other popular actors. i want to see that too.

Happy Thursday, everyone! So close to Friday. Found out yesterday that the weekend work isn't supposed to run into Monday, so I'll have at least one day of the three-day weekend free.

Our new "record player, etc." plays nicely, but I still have to check its USB port and the CD-R/RW recording function. Then find a nice audio rack for it and the old cassette double-dubber that still works.

I was looking for one of my LPs a couple weeks ago and ran across a two-LP Christmas album that I didn't know we had. Mr. didn't recognize it either. Apparently he bought it a long time ago as a gift, hid it among our other LPs, and forgot all about it until I ran across it! I played a couple tracks last night and the LPs have very little wear on them. Looking forward to playing them!

what a cool find! enjoy it!

Morning, MMC :] I hope your Thursday is a wonderful day! Just think, only a couple of more days and then it is the weekend.

I accidentally slept in this morning which is not a bad thing since I have an early class. The good thing is when I turned on the TV, there was a version of "A Christmas Carol" on. My mom and I were both very excited and she came in the room to watch with me while I had breakfast.

I am very, very tired. I have been overloaded with work for my classes because college is winding down to the end now. I have next week, the week after, and then it is finals week for me after that. I am doing very well in my classes, knock on wood. I just received two important tests back and I got a 95% on one and a 93% on the other. At least I know my hard work is paying off!

My Pittsburgh Penguins lost last night in the first playoff game. It was one of those that almost made me sick to my stomach. Seeing your team up 3-0 and then the other team coming back to win 4-3 is very disheartening. I am not sure what happened, but after the first period the entire team fell apart. We scored our three goals in one period and then died out. I do partially blame the refs for not counting an offsides which resulted in the other team scoring, because the end result could have been different. But that's how it goes in sports, sometimes the refs just miss things, it happens. Although I am disappointed, there are potentially six games left so I have to try to be hopeful!

congrats on doing so well in school. it does take lots of hard work.

Good morning Christmas Family !!

Made and Coach - Congratulations on your MMC anniversary !!

((Maureen)) - I hope you feel better soon xo

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and prayers. You are all a truly amazing Christmas family. I have some news.

I GOT A NEW JOB !!!!!!!!!!

I guess I did not blow all those tests like I thought. There was one I took at something 3 a.m. one night and I guess I only thought I blew it. The transcription was really easy and the doctor so easy to understand. The problem was with the voice player. I could not figure out how to slow it down or adjust the settings so I did the best I could.

I was really really SHOCKED yesterday when I got an e-mail from the company recruiter asking if I was interested in a position with them typing Oncology.

However, I do not take ANY CREDIT for this. This, to me, was God's doing. I prayed a really, really long time on Tuesday night and asked Him please to help me. The next thing I knew, there was this job offer.

I don't think the money is quite as good but I will be off when I want. Which means I won't have to worry about being able to see my sister x.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much. I love you all so much xo

I feel I have to post this as a way of saying thanks to Him:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.


2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

GOD IS GOOD.....ALL THE TIME!! i'm so very happy for you cm3!

Good Morning, Christmas friends!!

Just a few more work days to get through, and then the weekend is here!!!!

Thank God!!!! It has been one of those weeks! :grin:

My friend is bringing over her Cavachon, (Cavalier King Charles & Bichon mix), Chile, this weekend to meet Harlowe, it should be fun!!

What are your plans??

I oredered a few hard to find Christmas dvd's yesterday- Secret Santa & A Town Without Christmas. Excited to get them, just hope the picture & sound quality are good.

Well, back to the grind~

Hope you all have a fabulous day!!

View attachment 1160

i hope the doggies have a fun playdate!!

Love the "dire rear." Almost like an old Southern gospel song, "Pire in the Blood." ("Power in the Blood").

oh my goodness! seawaters, my daddy was a music minister here in the south, do you know how often we sang that song? i laughed out loud when i read this post.

Thanks for remembering .i think he is over the worst..
It was hard as i had him at 2 vets and both had 2 different storiers and to me not one of then make a bit of sense.
IST one said swollen prostate ok i could go with that. but after he give him bayrill which is a good antibiotic. he started to gt a bit better, but somehow it did not seen right.
On easter monday took him to another vet. he said the prostate was ok. but he had a hernia. again could not make much sense of this
As what i was hearing and what i have learn when i done my vetinery nursing the signs and systoms was not there.
So monday night i went into the attic and get my vet books from uni and started getting into them. and this made me more convined it was neither from the start
SO tuesday down i went and asked for a long acting antibiotic and i give it to him myself.
He is now nornal, back to his old self. yes he does have a small hernia he always had. but i do feel that this was not the cause as the signs was not there. to me he had a servere infection in the stomach or bowel and yes this caused his hernia to enlarge a little. but hes great now and going to the toilet and eating well
thanks again for asking hugs to your wee harlowe talk soon !!

shelliegirl, i must have missed this when i was out of town, i'm so sorry you & Scooby had to go through that. good to hear he's better!!

Good evening!!

Home Alone is on Encore Family West!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Who is it?"
" It's me, Snakes. I got the stuff."
"Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell outta here."
"All right, Johnny, but what about my money?"
"What money?"
"Acey said you had some dough for me."
"That a fact? How much do I owe ya?"
" Acey said 10%."
"Too bad Acey ain't in charge no more."
"What do ya mean?"
" He's upstairs takin' a bath. He'll call you when he gets out."
" Hey, I tell ya what I'm gonna give *you*, Snakes.
" I'm gonna give you to the count of 10, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property,
... before I pump your guts full of lead!"
" All right, Johnny, I'm sorry. I'm goin'!"
"1... 2... 10!"
"Keep the change, ya filthy animal!"

oh wow, so cool! i needed that!

 

[Bradmac]

I'm gonna try this multi-quote thing since I was out yesterday afternoon. Hmmmm....

maybe that is my problem, I am a fresh air person and even have windows open in the winter. Just cannot stand a stuffy room! Must be all that camping I have been doing since I was younger than I am now.

Yeah, I get funny looks when it's freezing outside or melting outside and I have a window open. i can't stand to be closed up like that, though!

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement and prayers. You are all a truly amazing Christmas family. I have some news.

I GOT A NEW JOB !!!!!!!!!!

That's wonderful, CM3! Congratulations!

My friend is bringing over her Cavachon, (Cavalier King Charles & Bichon mix), Chile, this weekend to meet Harlowe, it should be fun!!

I'm not familiar with Bichons, but Cavalier King Charles' are beautiful dogs!

Love the "dire rear." Almost like an old Southern gospel song, "Pire in the Blood." ("Power in the Blood").

I love singing those old southern gospel songs. We still sing that one, and "How Great Thou Art", "There's Something About That Name", "Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling", etc.

My son is much better now tonight,
so I guess he is going to school tomorrow =]
Im going to bed pretty soon..
Have a headache I just can't shake off..

I'm glad your son is feeling better, and I hope you are, too!

I can't wait to see that one, I also want to see the new Three Stooges movie. Everyone keeps picking on me for that, I love the Stooges.

My ringtone (when it's not the Christmas season!) is the three of them singing "Hello, hello, hello? Hello!" The Stooges RULZ!! I can't wait to see the movie!

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

 

[made582]

LOL!!!!! Maybe I should try that!!!

 

[merrymistletoe]

i did go out yesterday & cut grass. i paid for it the rest of the day too. hubby said i couldn't go outside today. i'm not gonna argue either, i was terrible. i wore my mask but...

this has been the worst vacation time we've ever taken from work.

i've got lots i can do inside though, just a matter of feeling up to it!!

happy birthday to solice's daughter!!! c'mon let's do the birthday jigg!!!!:dance::dance::dance:

I haven't seen the previews yet but it's definitely something that I would watch.

 

[made582]

Good Morning MMC!!!!! We are going to warm up today here in central Indy. It looks like we should get to about 65 degrees. I need to run to the grocery store this morning since I didn't get to go yesterday. Then it will be home to

,

, and since CAH isn't going to come over I guess I'll have to

. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

Coach- Junior is racing in the nationwide race tonight and the forecast for tomorrow night has improved to only a 20% chance of rain.

 

[RachRon]

Upon the request of the school we had a meeting today with the head coach because they supposedly do not want him to transfer to another school.I was very reluctant to do it because there was no resolution that could come out of it.So I ended up getting up and walking out of the meeting and leaving my wife in there because I couldnt take any more of the bull.I have never in my life done anything like that but believe me they know how unhappy I am. Im just so so disgusted with the whole thing!

 

[Christmasstar]

if i had to be there & cough like that, i would open windows for a short time, maybe where they couldn't see.

I do every chance I get. While I am grateful for the work I really need to find something better.

I think that may have sent the message loud and clear that you were not happy.
Are there other parents with the same concerns? Maybe you all need to get together on this.

Good Friday (the 13th!) morning, my Christmas friends!

Whew. My brother and his long-time girlfriend are going through some relationship drama right now. She is, if I may be a bit...indelicate, crazy. As a bat. I'm surprised that he's stayed with her for so long. Anyway, she's calling mom, complaining that Jim isn't treating her right. Did my mom raise her son to be so sorry? Can my mom believe that her son only works two jobs trying to support his girlfriend, while his girlfriend hasn't worked a job in 10 years?

Ugh. He should have kicked her to the curb a LONG time ago. She's been a source of irritation for the whole family for years. And, honestly, she's been a financial burden for all of us, too.

Oh well, enough of that. The kids only have half a day of school today, since the prom is tonight. Why in the world does the WHOLE school have to take off for the prom? At least I get to have lunch with the kids today. On Fridays, I usually meet my mom for lunch at the local sandwich shop, so I guess we'll all go there today. They make a great reuben!

I have to work all day at Bernie's tomorrow, and we're training a new girl, so it should be a busy day.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Congrats on the new job!!!!

Thank you, Thank you !!! CAH and JM !! Of course, now my old company wants to offer me the schedule I tried to get before the resignation....Sigh.....:rudolph:

I have already committed with the new company.......I think it would be very wrong to back out.....Dont you ?? xoxxooxxo

Yes you should go with the new job, your current employer waits until you are going to leave to give you what you want? Like me with my job, they have been promising me first shift for over a year, plus I haven't had a raise in 3 years because of a freeze, that has since been lifted. If I had an opportunity to go elsewhere, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Good evening,

Watching Game 1 of my Bruins vs Caps, I love playoff hockey! I am tired from my strange shifts. Not missing this game. 0-0 after 2 periods.

Have a good night!

Congrats on the win. The way the Caps have bee playing this year, I doubt they will go far anyway.

I love the signature pic, by the way.

Hmmmm.....
Let's see, now.
What would Binger dangle in front of them?
Hmmmm.....
