Holy crap on a stick, that cracked me up! :H

I tend to hoard things too...so what are you trying to say Mama?? Don't make me take off my earrings AND shoes!

So my boss is actually taking me out to lunch next Friday on my last day and she invited a whole bunch of people I actually like...a lot from my old department...it should be interesting to have my old Politically Incorrect gang mingling with the City Administrator....haha. My old department was all women and one man, and one day he came in trying to be all feisty (and Manager-ish) and I told him "Just because your wife has you by the balls at home, don't be coming in here getting all crazy"....:H...that's how we used to speak to each other, it was quite fun actually. I'm hoping Water will be more like that!

Hey All,

Can't believe how busy things are around here, first day and already 4 pages deep.

Could never figure out how dog owners never think their barking dogs might be a problem for the neighbors at night - have dealt with it all my life.

Enjoy your sending off party K9, good things await!

Don't know exactly what the count is but this post might make me a senior member! Woo Hoo!

K9, I loved working in places where we could talk like that! I am sure water will be the same. Guys don't have the emotional baggage that women seem to have.

I'm glad you liked my verbiage from earlier...:H

On a more somber note...my dear auntie has passed away just an hour ago. My mom's oldest sister. Now, my mom is the only kid left from her family.

I want to say, I am so glad that I stopped in to visit my auntie just three weeks ago...and I brought her a plant and chatted with her for ages. She has twelve kids (Irish Catholic) and I have never had any "alone" time with her. Well, I did three weeks ago. I asked her all about her mom (their mom died from burns as a result of rescuing my infant mom from a house fire), and what their life was like. She was so happy to talk to me, and so happy to receive a flowering plant.

She had such a hard life...but, her many children surrounded her in her death. It was a good death. Still, it's so hard. My mom notified me, then my cousin Diane notified me...and now, I am in the Irish Catholic phone tree, and may not post here for the rest of the night. I have at least 40 first cousins.

I love you all, and will post back in the morning. Say a prayer for my Aunt Kay...okay? :upset:

Dottie good luck with the company!
Nine, awesome on the lunch! Sounds like a great bunch of people!
Hi Fen, EW, Zen, and everyone. Hard to look back when I'm on my phone.
Mama, the driving force is beyond me. Many times it's about my brother, but I had a drinking problem long before he died. Sometimes it's just wanting to drink, and then not being able to stop. It's an internal struggle that I admit I have no control of.
But I know one thing, I don't want to be like this. And I TTFP again today!
Love you all. I'm so glad we have eachother.

Fen I'm so sorry- What a benefit you could be there in time. I was raised Catholic so I understand the phone tree. There's some comfort in it though. :l

Dots don't you have a sick friend somewhere...

Thanks for the tips Pauly.. but I have to stay indoors?? :upset:

Love and hugs Fen. I am glad you go to spend some time with Aunt Kay. How is your Mom taking the news!
I stay outside all the time in Fla,Kradle. I wear a pony tail in a baseball hat and lots of sunscreen.
Texting you today Nora

Oh Fenny, I'm so sorry about your dear auntie. It's so good you were able to spend time with her. Sending you and your family lots of love.
I hope everyone is ok today.
My sister did a juice cleanse for 15 days and lost 15 lbs. I could never do it for that long though. I would like to do maybe 2 or 3 days.
I'm feeling a bit better today now that I have a few days under my belt. I guess what's done is done and I can't keep worrying about how I acted the other night.
And I TTFP!
That makes me feel so happy!
Nora, hope you're ok.
I will check back in later.
Can I exchange numbers with a couple of you to stay accountable? Anyone interested, please inbox me ok? Xoxo

Fenny :l Sending you lots of love and prayers for Aunt Kay...I am so happy you got to spend some alone time with her. There's a saying that every time an old person dies, it's like a library going up in flames. They have so much to share if only people would give them the time. I'm glad you got to "know her" a little better before she passed... :h

Nursie - I will PM you with my number...use it anytime!! :l

After today I am off for FIVE days...yay! Then next week I have 4 days then I am outta here and on to my new group of people...can't wait! The good thing is I will be able to chat with you lovelies all day still (well maybe that's not so good for YOU guys...LOL)

Dottie - How many days/hours/minutes until they leave??

Back in a bit...not much to report today. lol
