Uh oh Dots. Why is he so mad?
Costa Rican coffee.... Yum

[Zenstyle]

One Step at a Time - June 2014

Ah Dotts... I'm not surprised you had a row... you're dreading this visit and you must be on edge. Why is hubb's mad?

Liz... Yet another long-timer in the marriage stakes! Hats off to all of you for hanging in there, it's admirable.

Mama... You love the lake house! You're probably feeling like chillaxing today. Maybe Brett can do his handyman thing while you relax on a lounger nursing that migraine you are just.about.to.come.down.with!!! :H

Reccy... My kitchen is a thing of beauty! I'm a bit worried that I won't be here to guard it when I go to NC next week... Bill might USE it! :wow:

Re the freakin tree trimmers... they are a new company, their first time, and they made the same mistake as the last lot. I guess it's how they roll! In fairness, when I kicked up a fuss the boss man got on the phone and told the workers to get their arses back there and move the crap off people's plants. I have a communication problem as I don't speak Spanish but boss man was American. And, boy, did I EVER want to say fuck! :H I held myself back and then her three doors up came out like a blaze of fire saying fuck this and fuck that! :H Jealous, I was.

I don't have a totally clear idea work-wise Reccy. There is someone new on the scene, his name is Cliff, and everything he touches turns to gold for the last 2 years... the guy is either really lucky or a complete genius! He weighed in heavily with the old pharmacy and is building the compounding pharmacy, and also buying out a medical billing company (the owner, Lisa, is a friend of Jim and myself). Jim brought him the pharmacy and a couple of other things and is being well rewarded financially. Cliff's in his 30s :wow: and he's a really nice guy. I'm hoping to be working more on the compounding side of things as I'm interested in that. Just now I'm working on an as need basis till the compounding side opens. When we buy Lisa's company I'll be chasing down leads to sell injectibles and compounded creams.... pain creams and hormone creams, hormone and vitamin injectibles, that type of thing. And now you know as much as I do! I always seem to be on hold, don't I? It's frustrating. I am getting paid though. We've also set up a separate business... Jim, Bill, Marty and me... and that deals with foreclosures and the management of those situations (Bill's a real estate attorney if you recall). I have little to no interest in it, I'll do what I need to do, but I prefer the medical side. And... Jim set me up with my own corporation but I'm not sure exactly where we'll go with that yet. Like I told EW, it's rather complicated!

I'm sorry for boring everyone on the thread. Reccy and EW know the background to all of this, otherwise I wouldn't even mention it. Last time, I promise!

What's up with Pauly's car? I missed that.

Reccie - I guess I am a little down, but I'll be fine. It's extremely hard to be nice to someone that you despise

It's not for much longer. I can understand your frustration... when someone disses you on a daily basis it's rough. But you'll have the last laugh my dear... just hang in there and I am sure she'll be out of your hair soon... thanks entirely to herself. :l

Third mug of coffee... :nutso: If any of you run across Costa Rican coffee... grab it. It is the absolute best... very smooth.

Zen- businesses are in that stage where they make little money but could explode into real money makers any moment. Fingers crossed!

I missed this. My fingers, CT and all appendages are crossed for you!!! It seems that a lot of small businesses are starting to take off... maybe it's "just that time" with the economy, although it's awful hard to read the economic situation right now. (Over to Reccy on that score... he seems to have his finger on the pulse with that.) Do you have websites set up? If so, send me the links, I'd like to take a peek... )

Wow Zen and EW, I'm
Impressed. Zenny, I'll managed the foreclosed houses for you.
The lake house is more fun when the boat or jet ski are working...

Hello all!!

Pauly - I thought you had 3 kids. So glad that you wrote your info too!

Mama - thinking of you.

Liz - we got married 2 days after my 19th birthday. (Yes - obviously we got married too young)

Dottie - sorry about the huge fight. :l:h Remember that we are all behind you.

Ok - Lazy morning here. Going to go read for a bit........

One Step at a Time - June 2014

Mama... You're on! I am totally unenthusiastic about that side of things. And I'm also antsy until everything is up and running... it ain't over till the fat lady sings. You've been sounding a bit blah... why don't you just relax today, the yard work can wait. Can't believe you're wearing Garfield! Very appropriate! LOL

Pauly... I've done that with the Chia seeds before... turns to goop if you don't drink it fast. What's up with your car? Someone mentioned something about it...

Edit: Just read your last post properly Pauly! I hope he managed to fix it.

Hiya Nora!

Well I suppose I'll post my "stats" too...

I'm 51, divorced, live in Boca Raton in a villa that's joined to one of my best friends (Cheryl). Been in this house since 2005, remodelled it with my own (and a handyman's) bare hands when I bought it. No kids, 2 cats called Hamish and Dougal. My ex boyfriend (hehe first time I've said that!) lives with me at the mo. I was born in Detroit but raised on a wee island in Scotland from 3 years old... moved back here in 1996. All my family are in Scotland. Can't really think of anything else.

OK, off into the day. It's a "me" day today. I'm going to the tanning salon, coming home for a shower, then going shopping with a pal. I have a shit load of things I need to do around here but screw it!

Have a good Sunday folksies... X

I'm jealous Zen,Boca's nice,but the humidity would kill me

[Zenstyle]

One Step at a Time - June 2014

The humidity is horrible just now Pauly... yesterday was gruesome but today is a bit better. You don't get any humidity in LV do you? Dry heat. But it's hotter there than here I think.

It's a nice area here once you learn to deal with the people! There are too many "plastic fantastics" in Bowcah!

I'm really going now! S'laters... X

Enjoy your day Zen. The websites are Humanrev.com and wordwoof .com (still building that one) since you asked

I may as well join in -36,never married. Mini EW is 2.5 now and she is my world.

I think you should just chill too Mama :H

Good morning louvies :sun: sunny and cool here on Puget Sound- in bed reading with a Cuppa...sorry Zen no CR but it's on my list! Heaven to be snuggled in though....:catroll:

As far as the girls go..Zen and Rec, really I'm just fascinated by them if truth be told...they're nothing like me ( thank heavens!) which makes me so happy- they are fearless and determined and gorgeous ....and then again they are like me in many ways...which gives me this strange opportunity to see myself walking around outside myself! And the patience thing....well, you all didn't see me last night! :H but there's no question that not drinking let's me tap a deep well of calm. 5 glasses of wine a night turned me into a human taser for sure!

Zen what's a compounding pharmacy?? Sorry I missed that discussion. You've got lots going on down there and the tree trimmer drama is up there with Bri!! I'm sending evil death ray thoughts to their implements as I type...

Reccie I don't know why I thought you were up North. Your part of the world is beautiful. I was studying there as a junior year abroad and decided to stay...long boring story really....

Dots so sorry Mr. Dotts is being a butt....when do these wonderful people descend upon you?

Mama, :l. Thinking of you at the lake house.

Allswell, you're motivating me to get back to running. I love running through our big forest over here with Luna but I've been shot since I hurt my ankle...still..... Congrats on the marathon!

Pauly is your daughter still over here? And wow! You created such a wonderful family so early. I started very late...I know there's pros and cons to both but if I had it to do over I think I would have started early.... And 104 degrees!! :shocked: I'll be in AZ next week and not looking forward to that!!!!!!

.... And since we're handing in resumes...I'm 52 married 17 years with three children 12 year old twin girls and a 15 year old son.

Speaking of which, I'm going to Arivaca alone Nora. My husband and I have split up the visits so we can go more often...it is very expensive to keep flying down there.

Liz, EW, K9 et al have a wonderful fun filled Sunday. Stay safe out there:h
