Yippee! Freezer cleaning is so much fun. What the heck is that and when did I put this in here, oh a lime popsicle, yum,
I really don't know. It was pretty much a fail safe or I thought so now I have to regroup and see if I can find a job. Prob gonna end up trying to see what the temp services have or hit the eateries for a waitressing job.
I guess I missed the boat on nursing way back when and really should realize that I'm old and it's going to be dang hard to find anything now. - lynnechandlerposted 15 years ago0

Hello everyone
Thank you for your greetings. Have some birthday cake
Really enoyed Avatar. The overall story line is predictable, but the details are good and the visuals amazing. I tend to get fidgety in a lot of movies, but sat through all three hours without noticing the time.
Sorry about your rejection, Lynne. I know how hard it is to make the decision to study later on in life. I don't know what type of work you're aiming at, but is there any home study course that might give you some form of qualification as well as being interesting in its own right? I did one in book indexing, which gave me the first proof I could earn on a freelance basis. Indexing still accounts for about 20% of my earnings.- ralwusposted 15 years ago0

Morning all! I'd appreciate it if you could all find something else to do at night. You're leaving me w/ WAY too many pages to catch up on.
Let's see what I can remember-
Pinky- Will have to check out the poetry. You know I honestly never even thought about posting any here?
WA - Happy Birthday! (belated)
Steve - Sorry I missed you in a silly mood... could've been fun. I'm good with silly.
Mega - Congrats with the freezer clean out. I so need to do that. But, its so cold outside my front door, I just can't seem to motivate myself to open a door INSIDE that's cold and stick my head in there.
Well, have a great day everyone. Swamped here as is usual lately, so I gotta get to workin'. Between being here half the week due to snow, and the day of overtime I'm putting in tomorrow... Its a very, VERY long week.Very, very jealous! (Of the sleep and the brunch. I'm hungry... and sleepy...)
Lynne - I wanted to post this separately so you'd have more of a chance of finding it. I'm so so sorry about the school. If its the first place you've applied to, I wouldn't throw in the towel yet. I'm not much a fan of rejection (who is, I guess... sort of a silly statement) either, but sometimes you have to take a few blows on the chin before you get in that solid upper cut. (Who AM I this morning? Boxing references... Really?!?!)
Anyway, because you are a "non-traditional" student, I would look into "non-traditional" programs. I'm sure you can't do an entire nursing education online, but you can probably get in a good year's worth of courses that way. (I know some teaching programs work that way anyway, where you can do all of your coursework online, and then must do the "brick and mortar" route for field experience.)
Don't give up! You should never give up on a dream like that. Check out programs geared towards adult learners. And, review your application and see what you might not be thinking of. If there is a "special interest" or "accomplishment" section, remember to include off the wall items too. Its not just about grades and awards and previous schooling, colleges love to see volunteer work, hobbies, and even all those years you spend being Mom. Try to find something that might catch their eye that no one else would think of.
Also, I would consider calling an advisor at the school and asking what it was about your application that put you in the "no" pile. It might not help with that school, but it might give you an insider's look at your next application.
And, as for the pity party... Indulge in it for a while.
In a former life, I used to do some acting, and one of my coach's/directors gave me the best advice someone has ever given me, and I've applied it to so many areas of my life, not just auditions (which I don't do anymore anyway!)
She told me that if I didn't get cast, I was allowed to give myself one full day where I cried, yelled, and generally wallowed. Then, I was to put it behind me and look forward to the next challenge. It really turned some things around for me. I know it doesn't sound profound, but for me it was. I was always either so down trodden by a rejection that I let it get to me for too long, or I was convinced I had to be "strong" and I tried to ignore all that negative emotion. Which did me no good either.
So, I don't know if it will work for you, but try giving yourself a day or two to be legitimately sad, frustrated, pissed, whatever, and then put it behind you! You're obviously an awesome lady, and I firmly believe the right opportunity will find you as long as you remain open to it.- lynnechandlerposted 15 years ago0
Good Morning Tribe and for those of you who start your day across the great expanse of the sea, good afternoon!
TS: Thank you! I did have my pity party, ate all kinds of junk food, well sort of and had me a good cry.
Slept a good nights sleep and decided to get back to my original plan of making the online thing work for me. I posted a hub today about the snow we got. I also am working on the April issue of non-traditional holidays and writing ideas plus a really unusual topic that Pinkylee brought to my attention.
I have some things in the works but school really was a long shot. I'm going to be looking at trying to find some freelance work that pays a little better than the meager pennies we see from adsense too.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful and blessed day! - lynnechandlerposted 15 years ago0
