Yep you did win until now
I hope you had a great weekend and if you are a mom, Happy Mother's Day to you
I hope you all had a beautiful Sunday. We're closer than we think!
Hi Klara, Glad I caught you before nite nite . just Hope you had a wonderful day. Linda and I went to the beach and it was beautiful. The water is so clean. They have a dredge out about 1/4 mile or so pumping sand to our beaches. what an operation that is. tractors and all kinds of equipment on the beach. The beach is much higher at the house and so much wider. Lots of beach has washed away over the the last couple years from storms etc, but not now, it is awesome!!!!
It is amazing laying down all the pipe in the ocean and pumping sea water and sand up to the beach.
I have to go to bed, I have written 2 more articles on EA. I promise to read you new hub tomorrow at work. You know what I don't even feel like going there tomorrow.
They ask (my asst) are you still putting out the flags for Memorial Day? I said I will do some but you are going to have to finish, sorry my friend
I put out myself 1500 flags each memorial day all by myself with no help
Geez! That's a lot of work, Mark! Can't they just have a single flag waving above?
Mother's Day was okay. I visited my mother's grave, then met the rest of the family for a BBQ. I'm about to go to bed... so tired!
Good night!
Marky-tell them to go stick it...the flags, that is. and that they can do all by themselves. I wouldn't be busting my butt to get those 1500 flags in before I left.
Enjoy your day.
I just wanted to say hi to all and claim my prize for winning this thread
Good morning! you were up very early ... or were you up late?
I'm the winner now.
Good morning everyone. I was up at 04:30 this morning to watch the sunrise. I tried this yesterday with my two oldest grandkids and it was a very crabby morning for all involved. They are not used to rising that early. I let them sleep this morning and sat out on the balcony listening to the waves crash and the world wake up as I took photos of the sunrise.
It was very peaceful! Now...time for breakfast.
Have a good day all.
Almost time for sleep but I didn't want to dissapoint you all so here is the winner!
Happy Monday y'all!! Hope all Mother's had a great day yesterday!
@ Denise -- enjoy your sunrises, sand between your toes and the waves splashing in your face! You deserve this break!!
@ Klara -- would you like to come over and help me bake this weekend? It's a long weekend and the kids are gone to the cottage with their dad. I have a HUGE empty house (except for the dog, fish, birds and squirrels).
And, it's going to be sunny and hot!!!
@ Mark -- don't over extend yourself. They should have thought about this waayyy before now. Don't burn your bridges either. Just do the minimum that you have to -- that way they can't complain and bad mouth you, and you can leave feeling like you still did a good job at the end of it all. Work to rule. Don't pass your toes past that line!! Let them stick all those flags themselves. There is nothing like honest work to make someone appreciate those who do it.
@ mtsi -- ha ha ha nah, no leftovers, but I will be making a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake in two weeks. Would you like a slice of that?
have a great day everyone! I'm running my short little legs off this week -- soccer begins (two teams coaching plus game setup), lacrosse ramps up, rugby finals coming around the corner and about a zillion other things. Does anyone know how to copy and paste themselves? I'd like to do that to me about a hundred times.
xo
I'm on my way, Beth! Start the oven. I'm stopping for flour.
Denise, I hope you take lots of pictures. I see the sunrise over the ocean every morning and it doesn't fail to impress me every time.
Cara, I had some terrible news at work today. This business of working with children is devastating. I had to come home and crash for an hour because I couldn't take the pressure anymore. 19 days... 19 days....
Mark, where are you?
Cags, don't you bump me, boy! I'm here to stay!
Out of the way please Ray Mark is home from work now
hi Klara I am heading over to read you hub now
Your so funny Ray
How was your day my friend? All is well here and just waiting for May 19th (my daughters's Wedding)
All is well here as well.
Have fun at the wedding.
I will, but I need to monitor those that are drinking lots I should be good at that job right Ray ? Just think I have to pay for all the booze and not be able to have a sip.
A friend of mine has written a eBook and you may know him called
Living Sober Sucks But Living Drunk Sucks More. I think I will stick to My Sobriety
Thanks for reading, Mark. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You are so welcome . I started another Hub here tonight but will finish it tomorrow. I am really tired tonight from being beat up by you know how at work. She is make my life miserable to the very end.
Sleep good and see you tomorrow okay. Remind me to tell you the dream I had last night. All I can say is you and Beth were in it. It was something else the part I remember anyway. All I can say is you had a car that was Rolls Royce and My home was a mansion on top of a high hill on a main road.
I'll email the rest to you. :)BTW Linda was in it too
Must have been in the air today Klara. I found out that one of my really good boys (and they are few and far between this year) who has been absent for about a week now is homeless. They are staying in a motel right now but they don't know what they are going to do. At least the dad came by the school and we are trying to get him hooked up with housing assistance and transportation to get the kids to school. Yes, sometimes it really is too much. It is all that I have been able to think about tonight.
Cara, 75% of my inner school students live at the shelter. What's worse is that they prefer living there than living with their parents in an apartment. They have a lot of activities for the kids at the shelter, and they help them with homework. When they leave, they change schools, only to come back two months later because they lost their apartment. It's very sad.
absolutely beth - save me a slice...thanks and cheers
Spent the morning getting a manicure and pedicure and the afternoon fishing with my grandkids off the pier. One man caught a baby shark. It was interesting until he started clubbing it to kill it, which was very upsetting to us. Then, a nice family meal out at Bonefish Grill.
I'm sorry you teachers are experiencing such sadness in your jobs with some of your kids.
Marky-time is drawing closer to giving your daughter away...
Hi Beth, Cagsil, freecampingaussie and all...
See you tomorrow.
Good morning y'all!
Well, I got the job offer. But, I'm not that ecstatic about it. Less pay than what I asked for plus they want me to start immediately. I'm earning more by staying home than heading out to work. Figure that one out. =
Not sure what to do.....
@ Klara -- it's heartbreaking to go through what you do with the children at the school. It is very similar to working in the hospital -- you can see what is happening, you feel for the patient, but there is only so much you can do to help. It feels powerless and it guts you. Hang in there. Only 19 more days to go. The children are lucky to have you -- a teacher who cares about them and who invests more than just her lesson plans. You are touching them in great, positive ways that will affect their lives forever. You are one of the people are injecting hope into their lives. Remember that when things get this tough.
@ Mark -- have a good day Mark!! Don't let the wicked witch get to you. You only have a week left and then you have FREEDOM.
@ Denise -- sounds beautiful, except for the shark clubbing. Isn't there some law against that?!?
@ mtsi -- no probs. I'll save you a slice or two.
@ cags -- heyo!! I see you're into the bumping thing again! xo
@ cara -- only 19 more days for you too!! How is it going??
@ freecampingaussie -- you still Down Under? I still have to make my way over there, and your li'l friend is cute as a button! (they always are until they grow up....)
Have a good day everyone!
So Beth... tell me about that new job you landed? (Thinking positive all the way. It's already yours!)
I did the unthinkable. I turned it down. There were many discrepancies between what the executives told me -- between themselves and with the employees. I know a few that work for this company, and I've been talking with them all morning. I also spoke with the person who has been promoted out of this position. She explained what is happening -- it is completely opposite of what the executives told me (which didn't surprise me because between the three executives, their explainations didn't match up). I did not have good feeling about them after the last two interviews. Even less now.
I have to hit the job ads again. -.- But, it feels good to turn work down rather than being told that I'm over qualified and can't be hired.
I'm so friggin' proud of you for being smart and doing what most people don't have balls to do! We get stuck in jobs that stink because we settle for what's available instead of being smart and making choices. You are one intelligent woman! I have to give you that!
How is everyone today?
Thank you Klara. I took my last position because I wanted it, but I didn't care much for one of the Directors, who ended up being my boss because the Director who hired me retired. The new Director made it impossible to work == and there were plenty of lies flying around in every space she walked through. I didn't like it then, and I still don't like it. Yea, you're right. We settle only to find ourselves unhappy. Worse case scenario for me: loss of income and no home. (well, I'm still house hunting but there might be an end in sight on that one). And, really, there is no loss of income. I'm making some loose change here on HP.
You've made me feel better Klara. Thank you.
Off to rubgy -- last season game and tournaments start next week. Ah, felt like it only started last week!
Enjoy your warm miami weather (it's super hot here and humid -- 30C plus 70% humidity). Lovin' it!!
I've had one heck of a day today, Beth. But it's all good. I got my job at the new school for next school-year. Good thing because they were planning on leaving me teaching at the really bad school for another year. Phewww... got saved by an angel! I'm still looking up to you for turning down that job. If you don't value yourself, no one will.
Mark, I'm so happy for you! You're finally doing it... making life simple and precious. Enjoy every minute of it. Where's the rest of the gang?
Congrats Klara on getting into that other school. I am very happy for you None of us want you to be in a school that maybe dangerous for our Girl. Thanks for all the happiness you send my way.
You girls are awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Klara, Beth, Denise, Cara and Sophie oh and Ray too.
Well just got home from orientation. I have never seen such Happy, Up, Positive people in my life at Costco. I feel as if I have been working there for some time already. They welcomed me with open arms. I am not used to be treated like a human being and not talked to like a piece of crap.
they asked if I was starting in the 23rd and I said the GM told me the 24th. My boss said the GM said 23 and I said if you need me I will be there on the 23rd. I just wanted to have 1 day off before my new job, but what the heck it is only one day. If it were up to me I would start tomorrow and forget the flags etc.
I have a feeling I will be full time in no time the way my boss spoke. I am so so happy and the first time in many years. I just love it !!! and 4 mile from home
I just want to thank all of you for giving me all those positive vibes and prayer. You are the greatest Girls
Beth, good for you and standing up for yourself. I am so happy you could see through them. Something will come up great for you I just know it !!!!
Everything happens for a reason. Just like me with Sears Holding Comp.(Kmart). I took me drug test 3 weeks ago on Monday that just passed and they didn't even call me with the results. I was hired and filled all the w-2 and paperwork to start, but the never called or followed up on time and exact day to start.
Every thing happens for a reason and so, I then landed the Costco job in the meantime. Kmart must of not been the job for me.
Much love to you and hang in there. The perfect will come soon for you.
Reporting in from vacationland in Florida. We spent the afternoon touring the Air Force Museum here at Fort Walton Beach. It was so interesting and I took lots of photos in case I should decide to write a hub about it.
Take care all...I will be en route back to 'reality' in N.C. tomorrow. Time has flown and there is still so much to see and do. I want to see the Nati'l Seashore here, but don't know if we'll have time tomorrow before my flight.
Oh well, I am tanned, relaxed, and have enjoyed these last few days with my youngest daughter. She's so busy when I'm in Michigan I barely have an opportunity to really sit and talk. It's been great without the distractions from home.
Enjoy your Wednesday everyone.
Hmmm, Sofs is missing in action isn't she...
good morning everyone!!
@ Klara -- thank you. Congratulations on the move to a better school!!
That relieves a lot of pressure off of you. I'm very happy for you!!
@ Denise -- I'm so happy that you've had a wonderful time visiting your daughter and enjoying your vacation. Enjoy the remainder of it, and have a safe flight home!
@ Mark -- this is wonderful!! The people at Costco sound very nice. What a bonus!! Only 4 miles from home and a great crew to work with. Couldn't ask for more! (and never mind those flags. You've planted enough of them over the years)
@ Cags -- morning!! xo
@ mtsi -- how's the brewskies? cold enough for you?
@ Sophs -- where are you?!?
@ Cara -- 18 more days and counting!
have a terrific Wednesday y'all!
Thanks Beth.It is now 4pm and just put out about 700 flags and another 800 to go. I am just giving it my all to the end. At least I can leave knowing I did the best I could to the final end and feel good about myself. But they don't care at all. Wait till next yeaars they are going to have many people screaming down their throats because they missed their flag. I know them all by heart. I guess I walked about 5 maile today.
I was suposed to go get mt Tux and try them on but I am too sweaty to do it today. It will have to be tomorrow after work
xoxoxoxo
You are a gem Mark! You truly do what you do because you care for the people.
I'm sorry that you're so tired. Especially to try on your tux -- the big day is just around the corner!!
Let's see some pics of you when you do try it on! I bet you're handsome as ever!!
Have a good sleep and a sound rest. xoxo
I'm off for the night too. Just coached 2 hours of soccer in the freezing wind in shorts and a t-shirt. It was beautiful when I started, but once the sun started to set, it became mighty cold. Parents were frozen too and not happy that it went so long. But the boys had a grand time. We're division 3 and they played a division 1 team -- lost 4-2 but they put a lot of heart into it plus it was the first time they played as a team (whereas the opposition have been playing several years as a team). My boys did terrific!
Good night y'all!!
Good night, soccer mom! I love that you do all that for the kids. Those are the memories they'll have once they're all grown up. My husband coached the YMCA soccer team at my elementary school for a year. He couldn't believe how exhausting it was working with the little ones. Now he understands what I have to go through on a daily basis.
Mark, do post a picture... if not here, at least via FB. We want to see you with your penguin dress on! BTW, I'll be writing a hub about my disastrous gigs - there is a wedding involved. I think you'll get a kick out of that one. But I feel inspired, I just did another hub and I'm very pleased with it. Also, the other article website sent me another email telling me I didn't post my HP link correctly. I can't remember which one it was though... you sent me so many emails that night!
Denise, Cara, Sophie, mts, Cags (I heard you banned my friend Vector! ) - I hope you're all doing well.
Okay, Klara--I'll take over now and give you a break. Glad to know you got a new job in a better school. We are still being vigilant for Cara's break to the Community College. Keep the prayer circle going!
Mark-how is the orientation at Cosco's going?
Beth-you ROCK! soccer mom. WOW. Happy Job hunting...
Cara--always good talking with you even if Little Alex is poking his thumb in his sister's eye, !
mts-how's the man cave???
I'm off today (Thurs) and back to the grind on Friday but it has been soooo nice.
Talk with you later...
Hi Denise, how was North Florida? It's been raining down here every day and it looks like it will stay like this until the weekend. I hope it gives me a little break to head down to the beach.
I can relate to why you are at the beach so much...it is FABULOUS!
Hi Girls Put another 600 out today (flags) Got the Tux and had to have sleeves hemmed at Men's Warehouse. On the way home stopped at Costco to get my schedule and my name badge
Long day for me today and will get longer starting tomorrow. Rehearsal at the church followed by rehearsal dinner and the BIG day Saturday.last day of the cemetery 5/22 and starting 5/23 at new job. No time off for Mark.
I hope everyone is well and I have not been here much and a half a hub that started days ago. Just not enough time. I may try to finish it now. Miss all of you and I hope I can handle the long ride into work (4 MILES)
xoxoxoxo to all of you, except Ray...just a hand shake for you my friend
I was wondering about you, Mark! I'm glad you're keeping busy and getting things in order. Soon you'll have a different life. So happy for you!
Thank you Klara for your kind words to me. It really means so much to me. You are so wonderful and smart too. Yes the clock is ticking down now. Not weeks anymore, now it is hours I will post pics on FB and try to get a couple here on HP okay. BTW in your hub which was great !!! Is that you in that one Pic??
Hey when we all come to see you in Sunny Miami I will bring my Korg X3 and we can jam, but I don't think you will like my stuff. I play by ear on the Keyboard. I take after my Grandmom. She played the piano in church every Sunday when I was very small and not one piece of sheet music. Amazing she was.
Night dear:)
Good morning, Mark. Those will be great pictures... you and I playing keyboards on a speed boat, while Beth is in the back waterskiing with her Canadian bikini, and Denise and Cara are dancing and tumbling on the ground 'cause we're going too fast. Hahahaha... how funny is that!
Good luck with the wedding. I hope everything comes out perfect. Trust me... you don't want to hire me for a wedding gig. LOL
Good morning, guys! How are you all doing today?
good Morning Klara. You are too funny
Lots to do this morning
Get the car washed. Get the hair in good shape
Take out all the gray
No just messing around. need to get to the church by 5pm. and then rehearsal din din and back home to the shore and then back 60 miles for wedding Saturday.
Will be over with in hours
@ Mark -- have a safe drive of 4 miles !!
big day soooo soon!!
@ cags -- xox
@ klara -- heya girlie!!
hitting the hay tonight! finally. is it friday yet???
good night!
Thanks Beth and I hope you have wonderful sleep. Stay out of the cold. I am proud of you coaching the kids in soccer. Any news on any jobs Beth?
anyone know how to "unfollow" a hub that is now in the new format?? (food/beauty) ?? the unfollow button is no longer in the comments sections but I'm receiving notifications faster than I do on FB
You should be able to do it under "my account" in the section of the hubs you follow. It was removed because you have the ability to change it under "my account".
http://hubpages.com/my/activity/topics-following
Are you my friend on FB Beth? If not how about we be friends on FB
Good news I just got a $.02 click on Adsense
that is NOT going to help me pay for this Wedding
Happy Friday everyone! This lady has taken a four day weekend for herself!
Mark have a wonderful wedding celebration for your daughter tomorrow! I'm sure that everything will be amazing. As you are partying, I'll be walking. Tomorrow is my Relay for Life cancer walk. 24 hours of walking but well worth it!
Counting it down Klara! More drama at work for me meant that I needed to take a couple of days in a row off.
Beth, keeping working at that job search, I'm praying for you!
Hi to everyone else and have a fabulous weekend!
@ Cara -- YAY!! you took time forself!
The Relay is a great event. My son and daughter are running a 5K next weekend for the same cause. Have a great walk and enjoy your four day weekend!
thank you for the prayers. I need them!! The government announced last month that there will be 30,000 layoffs in their sector, and since I live in the Nation's Capital, there is going to be major competition for work. The position that I just turned down had over 400 applicants. But, I'm glad I turned it down -- they will be shutting their Canadian doors within the next 3 years. This is the major reason why I turned it down.
Have a great weekend Cara!
This is ludicrous. There will never be a last to post, unless there is a deadline for posting. It never ends.
Hi all...I had just enough time to pop in and say hi...hope all is well...cheers
hey there mts. Me too just checking in and now lots of work to do before the Wedding Day tomorrow. have a great day
Cara-I'm so proud that you took this time! Oh wow is me...J just got his official birth certificate in the mail which means drivers permit time.
Hello all...happy w/e to you. I will be working my eyeballs out this w/e
See ya on Monday.
Happy Wedding Bells to you Marky--here's to sunny weather and the groom showing up,
Thank you so much Denise. That means the world to me Driving lessons now right. You will be a great teacher and please be careful driving to and from work.
xoxoxox
PS Check you email when you have time.
Why do I think of that spiritual that goes...
"Peter, go ring the bells,
Peter, go ring the bells,
Peter, go ring the bells,
I heard from Heaven today."
LOL Clock is ticking, Mark!
Hey there Klara/ It is 11:20pm and just got home and checking in on all you beautiful girls. (ladies) rehearsal went great and the dinner was wonderful. I even got to take 3 complete dinners home for my dinner on Sunday. Three people didn't come and I paid for them so I will eat their dinner
Well got to hit the sack and get up early and back another 60 miles or so to the Wedding. I'll be in touch with you on Sunday Hold the fort down while I am gone okay?
x0x0x0x0x0x0
Good night, Mark! And best of luck tomorrow! Have fun and enjoy the party.
Thanks Klara,, I am still up I can not go to sleep. maybe tooooo much coffee
I am going to try again to fall a sleep.
Just writing and listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2aYDXn6 … B518AEDCDE
Well, never fear--everyone can sleep and I will take this w/e's midnight shift post.
Hey, anyone see Sofs around? She is MIA
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hp … 2508_n.jpg
Just got home and had to upload this from Facebook that someone took .1:40 am I am so tired but I wanted to at least put one of many pic up for a wonderful day
Night girls
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hp … 4115_n.jpg
Oh, WOW, Mark! She is the most beautiful bride I've ever seen! Congratulations! You look very handsome as well. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I trust you and Linda had a good time?
Good Morning Klara, Yes it was a beautiful day and could not ask for any better weather. There wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole entire day. Just beautiful. God sure blessed us with that day.
I felt like a movie star when walking Stefani down the isle.I never had so many cameras pointing at me at the same time LOL. The food was excellent and the DJ as well. A girl took that pic of me a Stefani and I am not to fond of mine. Once the girls get up from drinking all night they will download lots more on FB and I will find a much better pic or pics to post here.
Not a bit of sun out here today, so cloudy but warm. I have to get a shower and take my Tux back to Toms River . Mens Warehouse messed up on a couple tux but the guys get it right. The groomsmen should of checked the bag before they left the store when picking Tux up LOL
@ Klara-- There was only one thing that went bad . My friend now 7 months sober could take it and broke and drank towards the middle of the reception. I told him if get that urge to stick by my side, and talk to me but I guess the demons had more control than I. I feel so bad for him and he will feel the same this morning when he wakes.
You need to be as strong as hell to beat the alcohol. One sip and you are doomed Klara. He hid on the side with someone that was drunk as hell and probaly told him :" come on one drink won't hurt and that was the end of 7 month sober life
.
I'm sorry about that, Mark. But I'm glad it wasn't you. Parties are tempting for all of us. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you.
I showed the picture to my husband and he was impressed with your daughter's beauty. She really looks gorgeous in those pictures. You must be very happy!
@ Cags - xox
@ Klara == sunshine and heat today!! 30C + and the temp is still rising! Oh, so hot!!
@ Mark -- you and Stefani look amazing!! She's gorgeous and you are handsomes as ever!! Sad about your friend, but you know that the battle is between him and the bottle. No matter what you do or say, it is still his fight. I have had to stand back twice now with a friend who's addicted to narcs. He's finally sober for 4 months....but he always falls at the 6 month marker.
We can only give them hope through the example that you set. Glad your day was wonderful!
I know Beth! I'm heading to the beach right now. It's beautiful.
I just need the salt water and salt air.... then it would almost be like being in Miami.
Hey sweetie send some sun up my way. The sky is solid gray all day. Thank God today wasn't the Wedding
Hi Ya Beth Dear. You are so right by what you say. We can only give support and advise . The rest is on them and the bottle. We have a great Wedding. It was so beautiful. Stefani did a wonderful job organizing everything so perfect.
The girl on the left is my Niece
NOW HUSBAND AND WIFE
Hello Everyone,
Just popping in to say good morning from Hawaii. I hope everyone is having a good day.
MY SISTER AND ME
MY NIECE AND ME (My Sister's Daughter)

THE LAST WALK TOGETHER
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hp … 2557_n.jpg
All the photos are beautiful, Mark. I hope you don't get in trouble for posting them here. LOL But I'm glad I got to see them. You two look so happy! I wish them much happiness.
Thank you so much Klara. It was a great day for everyone. I am so glad you liked the Picture. What will I get in trouble How was your day Klara. Did you hit the beach?
It is raining here now and the sky was gray all day, BUT Beautiful yesterday and that's what counts
Hey Cags! That was a really good article. Congrats
Hi Klara, How was your day? It rained here all night and all today. Miserable !!
Well last day at the hell hole tomorrow. I am sure they will not miss me or paying me all those big bucks. They are probably thrilled to save the money. I know how they think. Where the heck is everyone?? No Beth Sophie, Cara Denise, well Denise I think is working . They will be here. I want them to see the pics before they are pages back LOL
Beautiful, Mark. Your daughter and niece are both gorgeous. And you look very handsome yourself.
You're done with that job already, Mark. Don't even look back. Keep moving forward, my friend!
By the way, Mark. Check your email. I sent you a photo that I took this afternoon. Miamians have discovered how to beat traffic jams. FINALLY!
Hi Klara, It has been lonely here on the forum all day and night Last day tomorrow Klara and then start at Costco on Wednesday
I can't wait till 4:20 tomorrow when the witch looks at the clock and says < " we still have 10 more minutes to go before we can leave and I say NO you have 10 more minutes. I am out of HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the compliment of my daughter and niece Oh and me tooooo
This one's my favorite I think. Mark, she is gorgeous and radiant. You are one handsome dude! where's the photo of Linda and you?????
Yay--Tuesday is your last day of work, right? or was it on Monday. ?
Klara got the email and reply to it. Great photo :)and a wise idea too.
Well, I've had an interesting weekend to say the least.
Mark-I LOVE the photos! Awww, the last walk and the last dance: the daddy/daughter dance. Please tell me what song she picked.
I think both Cara and I are ready for R & R even though I just got back from Florida. I know Cara deserves it more than me and is WAY overdue with her class from H E #$@ $%# Oh, and check out her facebook page for her son's (is that my grandson? haha) latest adventure!!!
Anyway--I worked on Friday and on Saturday morning got a message that my 52 year old brother (my nephews father) had a heart attack and ended up in the ICU after coding and being rushed to the hospital. Then, he was in stepdown on Saturday when I spoke to him and later informed my sister they were discharging him on Sunday. I was NOT happy. It's been a mess and me up without sleep x 2 days making umpteen phone calls to the hospital and nursing staff there.
I was supposed to work Fri-Sun and was able to get off of work early on Sun to go home and sleep. It's been a rough one for me and I know also for Cara. she had the Relay for Life this w/e in Michigan. All nighter from Saturday morning at 10 a.m. to Sunday morning from 10 a.m. Bravo to her.
Happy week to all...I have been feeling more and more disorganized!!!!
Ah Denise I am so sorry to hear about your brother. That is so sad, but I am glad to hear he was being discharged on Sunday. man you have going through so much Denise. Please try to get some rest because I (we) don't want anything to happen to you!
Ever need to talk you know where I am Denise
My last day was today 5/22/12 and start new job tomorrow . The pres. didn't put in for my vacation they owe me when she said she would . I was pissed. Just keep putting the shaft to me to the bitter end right! She said she was doing interviews to fill MY JOB and she made sure she said it loud. At the end of the day at 4:20 she said can I have your key and as I gave it to her she hands me 2 checks and made sure she waited to give them to me for fear I would leave early.
She called paychex and got all the figures taxes etc and said I knew you were mad so I did this for you.NO party , NO nice to have worked with you NOTHING. Well I guess 22 years of loyal service doesn't warrant things like that .
Much love Denise and stay strong and please rest!!!!
Good morning Klara (though that was 13 hours ago!!)
for me, and some of you out there,
it's a Good night!!!
@ Klara -- geeze!!! you sure grew a lot of fur over the last 13 hours!!! but, you're still cute as a button!!
@ Mark -- goes to show you that your loyalty was never returned in kind. Worse, after all that time you gave them, they still can't trust you. She seems to have a trust issue as well as an inability to appreciate what has been given to her. Thank goodness you're outta there!!! Heavens are smiling upon you!
Good luck with your first day tomorrow!! I'm thinking of you!! xo
@ Cags -- hey, where's my xox's??? Well, I'll just have to attack you and smother you with all my love!!!
xo
Good night!! First competitive soccer game tomorrow -- have to drive half way across the city in heavy rush hour to get there! Plus, team jerseys were not ready in time. Boys are excited... and I'm stoked to win!!
Night!
Hey Beth, I always give you ((((Hugs)))), you're the one who always gives the xoxos.
But, here:
You are so right Beth. I am so so glad I am out !!!It felt so good driving down that long road heading dead East to the Ocean and leaving that job way behind. I wish them luck when there is a problem. Don't call me I'll call you
I sent you an email Beth. Check it out when you have time:) Thanks for the good luck for my first day tomorrow, I am very excited
Finally Happiness !!
Best of luck with your game Beth. Hope they WIN WIN WIN !!!!
Whats Happening Ray? I am about to hit the sack for my big day at my new Job
Have a great rest of the night Ray
Thank you, Beth! That's my eskie. She's a doll and loves the beach. That was yesterday's smile of gratitude - picture taken at the beach. She doesn't understand waves so she barks at them. We don't let her near near the water because it makes her vomit and last time we had to rush her to emergency with dehydration. But she loves running on the sand. She's spoiled as can be! Our baby!
How are things with you? Did you ever write the Gluten-Free Guide for A.D.D. Shoppers hub? Lol
Hi all...it's almost 3:30 a.m. and I am home awake! Was asleep until 2 a.m. when I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep...well, that is the norm when your usual waking hours are at night while everyone else sleeps...
@Cags-hello Ray
@Beth--any job hunt leads?
@Klara-school is ALMOST out-then you can do the Happy Dance,
@ Cara--What can I say...I wish I had a magic wand to get you out of there.
@mts-where's the coffee???
@Marky-WELL...first, I'm going to miss being able to pick up the phone and call you while you're at work...no can do now that you have this new one and have to be on your best behavior, Second--I feel for you re: the ingratitude!!! I've been in similar situations where one employee would leave and there would be a big going away party and I would leave the following week and not even a card to say farewell. BUT...in the end, my friend, you get the last laugh--you never have to return there again-and I hope you didn't buy any burial plots there either,
@ Sofs--where are you?
Okay...I'm going on an expedition to look for Sofs...
@ Klara -- she's sooo cute!! No, I haven't begun to answer your question yet!! but I will work on it piece by piece.... can't promise when it will be done. Sorry, but I will work on it.
@ Cags -- xox
Good night y'all!!
We won tonight -- 2 to 1 !! First game, first win!!

Good morning all...it is 10:30 a.m. and I have got to get focused on other things so
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEK END early to all...I will be doing my shifts Thurs and Fri eve and sleeping Saturday-but, hopefully only in the morning. I hate sleeping my day off away; then, by the time I wake up it is late afternoon and everything is closed or events have ended. I'm so looking forward to getting started in some day shift position again, someday...
Thank you so much Klara. Just got home from my B-Day DinDin.
Yesterday was my first day Klara The drive is horrible back and forth
It is a very busy place and never stop except for 2 15 min breaks and lunch. I just bought that meter (what ever you call it) to measure miles because I know I walk many miles in that store and this weekend is very very busy do to the weekend coming up!!
May 24-27th is the Road Show where all kind of vendors cooking and trying to sell our stuff. I will loss so weight in this job for sure. I am off Monday and tuesday in which I will hit the beach I am heading over to FB to read you hub shortly
xoxoxo
Heat are going to the Eastern finals! Wooohooooo!!! I'm so excited I feel like running a mile!
It will always be busy during holidays, but that short drive is worth it, I hope?
Just finished a hub about my experience while living in Panama during the invasion. It brought a lot of nerve-wrecking memories. Ugh!
I hope you have a good night, Mark!
Good Evening Klara I just love your new Pic Beautiful!! Just got home from work and I bought that meter ( I forget what it is called that measures foot steps and miles) SO today I walked 12.39 MILES in that store. That is a lot of floor walking
They are extremely busy because of the Memorial Weekend. Sat and Sun will be wild and more busy
They sold over $10,000.00 just in Strawberry's . Unbelievable !!!!
Got to get a shower and eat my dinner
Hey Mark, it's called a pedometer. It usually measure distance and steps. You have good evening.
Heyya Mark! What's happening?! 3:40am and I'm not even close to feeling sleepy. Unbelievable! I should be working Denise's hours.
You'll stay in shape at this new job. Most of the exercise I get is from dancing with the little ones. They have so much energy that I can't have them sitting down for a full hour of music. No way! I get them up and we do aerobics for five or ten minutes, then back to performing music. LOL
We'll talk in the morning (or afternoon if I get lucky and I'm able to sleep seven hours straight). Good night!
Hey there Klara. it is 9pm Saturdat I think. I have lost days and time LOL> Yes I will be in shape for sure. Just finish din din and going to watch so TV and probably fall a sleep. I am like you Klara if I fall a sleep in bed I am up wide a wake in 1 1/2 to 2 hours . I walked a little bit over 12 miles yesterday and 12 miles today.
Legs fell much better beings I am getting used to the job What a busy place that is especially this weekend when all the shoe bees come down for their vacation. That is what we call them here or weekend warriors. They clog up the stores and the road thinking this place belongs to them meaning the shore "lol:
Hope you get so sleep tonight. Walking does give me a ton of energy that is for sure. I might just walk to come see you
Hi Mark, Good to hear you're exercising. It's always a good thing - to get paid to workout.
I cooked the most delicious meal for us tonight, now we're going to watch a movie. Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow! Good night!
Great hearing from you too Klara. I am too tired to even write. have a great rest of the night and I hope you sleep well I am glad you enjoyed that wonderful food
Night Klara !!!!
Thank you Sophie so much I haven't talked to you in so long. I hope everything is great with you and your family and Marky of course. Have a Wonderful Holiday weekend for I have to work Sunday BUT off Monday and Tuesday
