Random Thoughts

[PumpkinJack81]

I've gotten too used to my dark orchid color that this purple is throwing me off. :dizzy:

[PumpkinJack81]

See, this is much better. :D :jack:

[PumpkinJack81]

Do I want to start any new threads?

[PumpkinJack81]

I would if it were closer to Christmas and the boards were busier.

[PumpkinJack81]

I'll leave them for now and see how things are for Christmas in July this summer.

[PumpkinJack81]

I love it when they show Christmas gifts (QVC), shows or movies during July!

[PumpkinJack81]

I need to get to bed...

[Mistletoe]

I love hearing Christmas music on the radio...It makes driving so much more relaxing. :carols:

I do too. And I like to think that all the other drivers are listening to it with me. We bond while we're sitting in traffic. ;)

[PumpkinJack81]

I'm exhausted and we're going out of town for the day.

[PumpkinJack81]

I do too. And I like to think that all the other drivers are listening to it with me. We bond while we're sitting in traffic. ;)

Whoa, when did I post that random thought? It must have been during Christmastime since I have green writing. :gelf:

[PumpkinJack81]

It is fun to think that other drivers are listening to Christmas music whenever you are too.

Proofread mine and see if it's any good...And help me add some things.

I'd love a nice warm brownie right about now...

Just feeling terrible tonight I rescued a dog from a family friend and thn had to give her up because my Sassi would nt except her into the family. I thought I could push the issue but Sassi kept going after Vegas. I tried t find her a home but noone replied back. I hate myself for giving her up.

It has been a bad week for me!

[onemagicalchristmas]

I have been reading alot lately and have not been around much but I will try to check in at least once a week. I am just not coping well with life right now. First I was off my meds for a month then the dog and now I am just acing the blues in general. I wanted to be able to get my parents something for easter but I may not have the funds to do that. I am going to get my dogs each a boiled egg and can os viennas sausages and a hostess cupcake. I can use foodstamps for that. I also promised hubby he could get some butter cream eggs that Palmer chocolates make. I found them at walmarts and then he found them at the dollar tree!

I am also thinking about buying a turkey to bake for my dad's birthday on the 30th of this month. He said he wasn't going to celebrate his birthday anymore but I saw a turkey and decided I would get one and fix it for him.

[Mistletoe]

onemagicalchristmas...I'm sorry to hear about the dog you had to give up- that's sad. I hope things turn around for you soon!

[onemagicalchristmas]

I just pray she will thrive and live a happy life. I look at my two and know that I have made them happy nd content. I have to move on there is nothing more I can do. But I will miss cuddling with vegas every day!

[PumpkinJack81]

Bobbi, I know it's hard to give up a dog, especially after you rescued it...My wife and I did the same thing a few years ago. You did your part though and now all you can do is continue to pray that Vegas' life will be happy and healthy. :my lord:

I hope you perk up soon and shake these blues. Just remember, Easter Sunday is quickly approaching and what a wonderful day it will be to celebrate our Lord's victory over death!!!!

HE IS RISEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PumpkinJack81]

Where is Kerith? Hmmmm

[onemagicalchristmas]

I am in the way of making my dogs easter baskets. Although they will be hom alone tomorrow while we go to my parents house. I gave them a boiled egg today and some of their treats. I can only pray Vegasfinds a decent loving environment. Thanks for caring!

[Mistletoe]

Wondering if Bob got to have his warm brownie (because I did!). :D

I need to change my look again.....

I like the new look :)

What's your poem/signature from?

[PumpkinJack81]

I like the new look :)

What's your poem/signature from?

Thanks! :D

It's actually lines from Blink 182's song "I Miss You". GREAT song and video (in an odd sort of way). They're Nightmare fans too. ;)

Has anyone ever tasted a raw olive (like right off the tree)?

Anyone tried or heard of anyone who used P90X? I wonder if it really works?

http://amerthehammerfitness.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p90x_3.jpg

[Mistletoe]

Nope. Have you?

No, but I'd really like to. I looove olive oil with a strong olive taste.

[Mistletoe]

You know, I think someone gave me one last year. I can't really remember it, though...

Olive oil is great; we use it in all of our cooking

[PumpkinJack81]

Yep, my wife's grandparents had a fig tree in their front yard. Whenever we'd visit I'd have to walk the yard with her late grandfather, admiring his landscaping. We'd always finish at the fig tree and pick fresh figs to enjoy. They were nice.

[PumpkinJack81]

LOL...that was good. I haven't heard of the P90X.

I didn't want anyone seeing this and responding with a "why do you have to work out, look at you!" :santahat: I'm definitely not built like that. LOL!

I see advertisements for P90X on TV all the time, but it doesn't look like it's something I could or would want to do. I just need to start a regular routine of my own.

Do you really think The Nightmare Before Christmas is more Christmasy than Halloweenish? I only watch it for Hallowe'en. :pumpkin:

[onemagicalchristmas]

I need to start walking more. but my MoJo has left the building! I never know when the other dogs will be out and about or I would walk Buddy around more. He loves being outside.

[PumpkinJack81]

Do you really think The Nightmare Before Christmas is more Christmasy than Halloweenish? I only watch it for Hallowe'en. :pumpkin:

Honestly I watch it year round, so anytime is good for me! :santahat: I think it fits for both Halloween and Christmas though...It has more Halloween factors in it (main characters), but the "worlds" portrayed are equal to me. :jack:

[PumpkinJack81]

I would love a nap right about now!

[PumpkinJack81]

How is everyone doing today? Good, I hope! :)

Having someone to walk with makes a big difference. I love walking in the warm weather. :)

That's great. :) I planted some dwarf fruit trees last year. I think it will be marvelous to eat fruit right off the trees...I wonder if you can taste the sunshine... :smitten:

(And I love to look at good landscaping. :) )

[onemagicalchristmas]

I would love to plant some flowers but I don't know which kind would look right with my purple hosta and tiger lillies.


I am thinking of buying some rose bushes to plant!

Do I leave now and try to get something for dinner before class? I really don't want to eat right now...

[PumpkinJack81]

Instrumental music is so soothing, especially if you don't feel well.

[onemagicalchristmas]

Hope you are feeling better Bob! I was achy all day yesterday but feeling almost human today!

Been hunting for another book to read. I would love to go try for my permit on friday if we get paid on thursday this week. I will have everything gathered that I need just in case. I want the freedom a license will give me!. Now if only Lowe's would call me for an interview!

I agree! And you know what song is perfect for days like that?

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart

*Pick your favorite singer for this one. I choose Rosemary Clooney.

PS- you're going on vacation again? You're making me jealous!

[onemagicalchristmas]

I am just tired of all the health problems I keep getting. If it is not my diabetes, IBS it is something else. I was truly shocked about them finding blood clots again. I thought I was having a heart attack. This will keep me in tight with the Lord. The church weplanned on visiting sentsomeone over to talk to us. The family was so nice. They are putting me on their prayer list as my family has done at there churchs!

Maybe you're being tested... I hope you get a reprieve soon. I'll be praying for you.

It must have been very scary for you. That was nice that the church sent someone over to see you. :)

(and starting a new book sounds like a good idea- it takes you to far off places and takes your mind off things!)

[onemagicalchristmas]

I am scared about going in to see the doctor. But on the otherhand I wish I did't have 5 more day of giving myself blood thinner injections. My tummy is bruising fromthem. Funny at the hospital they didn't hurt as much! :mad:

[onemagicalchristmas]

I just got in from my doctors visit and shopping with mom. I was not to be shopping and that totally wiped me out. Ready for a nap! But at the doctors office my INR was 2.4 today so he took m off the Lovenox. I am glad it was scary having to give myself shots in the tummy. He told me to bring in my used needles and the left over lovenox for disposal on my next appointment . Which is next monday.His office people are not very informed about my illness but he said the minute I was admitted to the hospital he recieved reports about my care. Mom went with me and asked him to put me on something for water retention and he said not right now. But the bad news is that I will have to see a hematologist/oncoligist in a yea to decide the next course of action. He wants me to lose 30 to 40 pounds! No surprise there. I have been trying but now it is important to do so.

So please continue to pray for me!

I know, but please don't think we're blowing all kinds of $$$ on these trips. My wife and I just happen to be Disney Vacation Club members so we have to use our "points" within a certain time period. We really shouldn't be going, but we don't want to lose our points. So, gas and food for the trip will be put on our Disney Visa...Not the best thing to do, however, it does give us Disney Rewards each time we use it! :D

But at the doctors office my INR was 2.4 today so he took m off the Lovenox. I am glad it was scary having to give myself shots in the tummy. He told me to bring in my used needles and the left over lovenox for disposal on my next appointment . Which is next monday.His office people are not very informed about my illness but he said the minute I was admitted to the hospital he recieved reports about my care. Mom went with me and asked him to put me on something for water retention and he said not right now. But the bad news is that I will have to see a hematologist/oncoligist in a yea to decide the next course of action. He wants me to lose 30 to 40 pounds! No surprise there. I have been trying but now it is important to do so.

So please continue to pray for me!

I'm praying for you also.

[onemagicalchristmas]

just thinking about who can take me to pick up my blood thinners from walmart and a couple cake mixes. I want a carrot cake for my birthday! I will have to buy it myself but hubby will bake it for me!

[Mistletoe]

What a great way to look at things! Thank you Kerith for always being so positive and helping me feel good no matter what may be going on in my life! :D

I only got one post done last night...I was so tired I kept falling asleep as I was looking through the boards. :santahat:

[onemagicalchristmas]

I went back to the docotors today and he put me on allergy pills. Said the reason I am still feeling so rough is allergies. He didn't check my INR today said he willdo it again on the 19th of june. That worries me because the hospital told me to have it checked once a week. I worry that my blood will get to thin but I guess I just put it in GOd's Hands and trust in the doctor!:tree:

Have a great day! and be safe in Sarasota!

[onemagicalchristmas]

I ended up in the ED again yesterday morning. The chest pains are coming from the chest wall. I was given Vicadin for pain and had to skip 2 days worth of coumadin because my blood is way too thin. Today however I am feeling calm and collected!

I'm sorry you're still having such problems- it's scary. But, glad you feel a bit better today!

(and you were worried that your blood would get too thin!)

[onemagicalchristmas]

the ER nurse called me back tonight asking me to come back in tomorrow to be seen by a doctor and to have more tests done. I knew they wanted me to have blood work done but now they want me to sign in as apatient again. Let everyone know why and whats going on tomorrow!

[Donna-50]

Sorry to hear that you are still having problems, but checking in may be the best thing to find out why. I will pray for you.

[onemagicalchristmas]

feeling giddy with happiness tonight over test results. Now if only I had someone to be giddy with!

Thanks! :D We had a GREAT time, even with all the rain off and on. We were fine until our last full day there...The day started out wonderful, but as we were in DisneyQuest the sky opened up and we had to buy ponchos to make it to Raglan Road for dinner. Oh well, it was still fun! :)

[PumpkinJack81]

Time to change my signature again! ;)

[onemagicalchristmas]

listening to my mp3 player through my computer. I spent all day yesterday loading it with CHristian pop music. I love Chris Tomlin, Brandon Heath, Jars of Clay and Delirious. Newsboys is another good one and my great niece recommend Rebecca St James. I am all about CHrist in my music and life these days!

[PumpkinJack81]

Looks like we have to get a new refridgerator...Our hand-me-down finally died.

[onemagicalchristmas]

wow...don't feel bad we need to have our central air fixed my BIL thinks it is the compressor and that it needs freeon.

Did your son go on this trip?

[PumpkinJack81]

Nope, just me and my DW. :D :smitten:

[Mistletoe]

How long did it take you to get down there (assuming you drove)?

[PumpkinJack81]

How long did it take you to get down there (assuming you drove)?

We did, and it only took us 8 1/2 hours...And we stopped three times (for food, gas and driver switch). It only took us 8 horus and 7 minutes to get back home though! :D

[Mistletoe]

I'm thinking I'd like to look into traveling by train next time I go down (instead of flying). I find that I'm very fond of trains. My family and I just went on a dinner train- a revamped steam engine from the 30's. It was romantic (probably because of all the old movies I relate to it). They played old music and the staff was very friendly. So, we ate while looking at the passing scenery. It made me wish it had a sleeper car on it. :)

[onemagicalchristmas]

I am just wishing for a break from all the drama and illness in my life. I feel God is trying to tell me something. Now if only I had a clue as to what!

That would be fun...And let me say that I am jealous of your dinner train experience! My wife and I have talked about traveling somewhere by train. We both think it would be a lot of fun. :D A few Christmases ago my whole family went up to Bryson City, NC for their Polar Express train ride. This was long before our son came along, but we all loved it nonetheless!

I have been trying to plan my trip to Disney World in August. Going to be the first time staying on Disney Grounds (Pop Century) and getting the food package. So many choices and so little time. We are going the week before free. Hopefully the park will be empty.

The best part is my daughter is coming from CA with my grandchildren that I haven't seen since right before Christmas 2007. Going to have teens and little ones, should be fun.

What fun! :D Have you ever visited the Walt Disney World Mom's Panel (http://disneyworldforum.disney.go.com/home.aspx)? They have answers to tons of questions...I've submitted a couple of questions before and they've always replied with useful information. I don't know if you need anything like that, but I thought I would at least share. I guess you'll be celebrating a bit of a family reunion with the grandkids! :)

Hope you all have a MAGICAL time! Let me know if I can help at all...I like to consider myself a Disney expert. ;)

[Donna-50]

Thanks, I will check the link in the morning. I have been to Disney more times than I can count but not in the last 10 years.. Only went one day last year. This is the first time I am staying at one of their resorts and my teens loved the look of Pop and it is a value. Can't get any better than that. Trying to pick places to eat the table sittings is hard because how do you know what you are going to be in the mood for so we are doing mostly character meals. Don't know if I will do the meal packages anymore. Find it easier to wing it as we don't usually do many of the table service meals.

How fun! We stayed on the grounds for the first time the last time we went- I liked it alot. I liked being connected by monorail to everything. We were at the Grand Floridian- we picked that one because I believe it was the most expensive and my sister was doing an internship for Disney, so got us a discount. We'd never be able to stay there without it, so we figured we should experience it while we could. From our balcony we could see Cinderella's castle- it changed colors all through the night. :smitten:

I love going with alot of family- I hope you have a great time!!

Donna, are you a Disney Vacation Club member? If not, it's definitely something you and your family should look into. My wife and I joined DVC last September and we've already been to Disneyland, Saratoga Springs Resort in WDW, and are going back to WDW to stay at Animal Kingdom Kidani Village this October. It's well worth it...Let me know if you want more info! :D

We've never done a meal plan bc we don't always do table service meals either. I'd rather eat breakfast and lunch at a quick service place and have dinner at a nicer table service place. Where are ya'll going in August? All four parks? Have you ever eaten at Cinderella's Royal Table? A friend told me we really need to eat there in October, but I don't know if I'd be able to get reservations this late.

The Grand Floridian is super nice! I've never stayed there bc of the price, but we hope to sometime in the future now that we're DVC Members and can use our points to stay at Disney resorts. :D I'd love to see Cinderella's Castle change colors from my room! And I agree, it's fun going with a lot of family...We're going with my parents, sister and brother, and their significant others this October and we can't wait!!!! :yahoo:

I will look into the DVC membership. Haven't been to Disney for years except for one day last year. My DH is disabled and I have to make arrangements for someone to take care of him so this will be our first real vacation in 10 years.

Haven't been to Cinderella's Royal Table but we do have reservations for the day we will be at MK. We are going to do all 4 parks this time. I've never been to AK and looking forward to it.

We will be staying for 7 nights and only want to do the parks for 4 days. The other days I figured we can relax a little and go to Down Town Disney and the Boardwalk. We are also going to eat at 1900 house. Mostly character meals this time, except we are going to Boma because I heard that is very good.

Should be fun and I have started walking to get in shape for all the walking. I have teens and they also want to go from one side to the other all day long. I think I will stick with my grandchildren.

You know, I don't recall it being magnificent or anything (maybe my memory is foggy- it was 6 years ago). It was nice, but it wasn't as if everything there were included in the price. The room was just a room (with Disney accents) and was in a separate building than the main hotel part (which was pretty and had stores and restaurants, etc.) It could have been because we went in January and it was a bit cold, so we didn't do anything outside there except the hot tub. I don't really have an itch to go back there. Maybe I'll feel differently after trying out the others. :)
Seeing the castle at night was delightful, though. And being just across the river from the Magic Kingdom...

I think I'll look into the Disney Vacation Club. I have their credit card and they're always sending me things about it, but I've never really read up on it.

You'll have to tell me about the Animal Kingdom hotel when you get back. That's where the animals can come right near the place, right?

Grand Floridan, wow, would love to stay there but at $399 and up a night it will be a while.

You really should! Especially if you're big Disney fans and go on a vacation (to anywhere, not just DL or WDW) a couple times a year. Not only does it allow you to stay at Disney resorts (like Grand Floridian, POP Century, Boardwalk, Saratoga Springs, Animal Kingdom Villas, etc) but you can also exchange your "points" to stay at hotels around the world! :jumping: Can you tell how much we love it?! :D

Check out the Disney Vacation Club (http://dvc.disney.go.com/dvc/index)site to read more info and/or order a DVD...Or let me know and I can get our DVC representative to send you info. :jack:

And Kerith, you already know about the great discounts and rewards you can get with the Disney Visa...Well, DVC Members get special discounts at the parks, resorts and more! Plus there are a number of "Member Perks" and special events for DVC Members only. :D

Well it sounds like you deserve this! And what a place to go for vacation! :D

Where are you eating at the MK? When my wife and I were there back in 2003 we had reservations for the Crystal Palace, which turned out to be great bc as we were in the top of the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse it started pouring (as it does so often in FL) and everyone started fleeing to the restaurants...So, as others were stuck outside waiting on a table we were inside getting dry and even got a chance to dine with Winnie the Pooh and friends. :)

AK is so much fun! We can't wait to take our son bc he loves animals...I know he'll love seeing all of the elephants and giraffes.

There's a lot to do at Downtown Disney and the Boardwalk. My wife and I took the ferry from Saratoga Springs over to DTD a number of times while we were down the other weekend. We had dinner at Raglan Road, the Irish pub and it was delicious! We really wanted to take a ride on the Characters in Flight balloon, but everytime we were there it was either closed due to rain or high winds. Maybe next time...DisneyQuest (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/downtown-disney/entertainment/disney-quest-indoor-interactive-theme-park/) would be a lot of fun for your grandchildren. It's basically a giant 5 story video arcade. My wife and I spent a few hours there, but it wasn't much for us. We had fun, but I think teenagers and kids would have the most fun.

Please tell me to stop if I'm being too much of a Disney fanatic... :p I get so excited about it sometimes that I don't know when to stop! :santahat: I have other tips if you care to hear more; mostly about places to eat and things to do.

You'll have to tell me about the Animal Kingdom hotel when you get back. That's where the animals can come right near the place, right?

Hmmm, maybe it was bc of the time of year...I know we really enjoyed walking around Saratoga Springs while we were there; exploring the grounds, enjoying the pools (and the poolside bars), eating, shopping, etc. Oh I love all of the Disney accents! They always do such a great job with theming. :jack:

Yes, the Animal Kingdom Lodge has it's own savannahs which are right behind the resort. Giraffes, Zebras and other animals can walk right up close to your balcony, which would be a nice view in the morning as well!

You know what, I never uploaded any photos of our trip to DL onto here did I? And I definitely haven't uploaded any from Saratoga Springs...I need to get busy!

Sorry to hear that you are still having trouble. Did they do a test to make sure you are getting enough oxygen?

[Donna-50]

This is where we decided to eat and I have never been to any. When at MK we will be doing the Cinderella Royal Table but we could only get dinner. When we are at AK we are going to the Tusker House Character Breakfast and Boma for dinner. When we are at Hollywood Studios we are going to try the SciFi for dinner. I see it doesn't get that good of reviews but it looks cool. On one of the days of rest we are going to go to 1900 house for breakfast so the little ones should enjoy that and the other free day we will be doing Chef Mickey.

I do play to go to DTD and go to Wolfgang Puck Express and on the way home we will try out Earl sandwiches because I here they are real good.

I have started walking the dog for longer walks as I need to get in shape and he could loose a few pounds also. When I get home I plan to crash on the sofa for the rest of the weekend. When ever you go to disney you always need a vacation from your vacation.

As I was driving on the highway in rush hour traffic yesterday, I was imagining all the drivers as the kids they once were. Most of us probably believed in Santa at one time. It was fun to picture us all young again- all of us on the same level. :santa-smiley:

[onemagicalchristmas]

Just popping in to say hey there! been feeling miserable lately. The Iron pills they give me make me cramps and feel awful but they say it is needed to refurbish the lost amount of blood. The transfusion only restore part of the supply now iron is used to finish building up my supply. I hope it is just temporary.

[Elvira1986]

Sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad. I hope it will get better soon!

[Donna-50]

Sorry that you are still feeling sick. I know that isn't fun. Don't know if you like veggies but dark green are really good in iron.

THanks everyone but I am just going one day at a time. HOpefully today will be better!

that is so sweet a thought. thanks for sharing!

My son is crazy! :)

just trying to finger out my finanaces. I need to go to the pharmacy and it will cost me $20.00 I am sure but better to stay on the pills than to go off them and get more blood clots!

I think Silent Night sung without music is so soothing. Like carolers singing beneath your window. :carols:

I'm so tired. I'm going to bed for a while with a nice book.

I go to diabetic classes on June 24th from 8:30 am to 11:30 am. The instructor called me last week and said one of my doctors signed me up for the classes. They are every wednesday morning. we will see how it goes. I am at my wits end with trying to plan out meals and shop for the right stuff on a budget. I have been collecting recipes but nothing is simple.

I will get my blood test results next week and I will share them. My INR is 1.7 which means my blood is thick! Not good:waving:

It's a challenge to come up with a diverse menu of healthy food that tastes good. And even harder on a budget (wasn't all the refined food once considered only for the wealthy?). I hit creative blocks, where I find something I like, have it until I get sick of it and then necessity forces me to come up with another combination. :santahat:

I also have no patience for involved recipes. It's a good thing steaming is a quick process. Good luck with your class- I hope it inspires you!

What book were you reading?

[Elvira1986]

Devil's Waltz by Jonathan Kellerman.

He writes very clever psychological thrillers which I enjoy immensly. I collect the serie(in pocketsize) which features Alex Delaware as the main character. This was my 12th Delaware novel.

I am going to bed soon. It is 11 o'clock and I have a test tomorrow.

thanks I have to do something. It is for my health that things have to change now. Not just because I want to!

I wish my headache would go away...

For my birthday I asked my nephew to arrange a day where we could play games like we used to when I was a kid- tug of war, potato sack races, stepping on balloons, egg toss, etc. We're all adults now, except for him, but I'm really looking forward to it. Especially since we're all competitive. :santahat:

[PumpkinJack81]

Gotcha! ;) Well, at least that means you get to celebrate again. :santahat:

So, did I really miss your b-day this year or is my memory just that bad?

[PumpkinJack81]

Anyone else use twitter on here? I'm currently on it as @NCTwinkleLights. :)

[PumpkinJack81]

I may have to create a PumpkinJack one though... :jack:

[onemagicalchristmas]

been sorta sitting around lately. Today I walked BUddy several times to help Hubby out. I need to go in and have my INR checked before the 17th when I am scheduled to deal with more female issues. Boy I will be glad when this three months are over.

[onemagicalchristmas]

finalizing my grocery list for tomorrow. GOing to hit Sam's club, food lion, walmart and aldis. a busy day. then coming home to put everything away!

[Elvira1986]

I have to vacuum clean my carpet(already did the rest of the room,) because my mom is coming over this afternoon. We are going to try to make my 2nd bedroom into a bedroom again, instead of a storage room. But first I am going through some forums and read on the couch. I am reading "A son of the circus" by John Irving. It is quite good.

[onemagicalchristmas]

playing solitaire and reading emails early this morning. Waiting for my parents to come and take us shopping! I want chocolate! I think a milky way bar sounds good right now!

[PumpkinJack81]

I'd love a job where I could do things online (blog, make websites, tweet, post on forums, etc.)...Sigh...

[PumpkinJack81]

I'm thinking I need a new avatar...

[PumpkinJack81]

What do I want Jack doing now? :jack:

[PumpkinJack81]

I respect our country's judicial system, but I REALLY did not want to be stuck on jury duty ALL day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

[PumpkinJack81]

And our judge said that the civil case we're on will go into tomorrow.......NOT what I wanted to hear! :mad:

[olga]

Hi Pumpkin,

I guess, you are something like that.. :sad elf:

Will it end tomorow, or is there any possibilty that will go?

What is this case about? Is it a serious one?

[Elvira1986]

Ouch my creditcard took a hit today. I ordered some stuff at Dorothy Perkins. I hope it all fits and looks good.

Hello and thanks for checking in on me! :waving: I'm happy to say that the case ended yesterday and I was free around 2 pm! Thank goodness! :D It was a stupid case: someone trying to sue someone else for $ for a car accident. We found out in the end that this was the 3rd time it was brought to court and we only gave the guy $424. :santahat: He wanted $1,000s! Oh well, sorry bud!

[PumpkinJack81]

I really need to change my avatar today....BRB

[olga]

Glad you got through with that case.. It took them 2 whole days for that case?? :jumping:

Nice avatar!! again, Bob!! :yahoo:

Yeah, absolutely ridiculous! And then we found out that this is the 3rd time the guy has brought it to court! Some people... :mad:


In other news, thanks!!!! :D :jack: :santahat:

I'm wondering if HSN and QVC really sell the quantity of the products they indicate on the tv screen (e.g., 8,000 sold). Or are the numbers marked up for advertising and creating hype?

[onemagicalchristmas]

just missing my guy tonight. but wanted to stop by to say goodnight. Love you all!

[olga]

I just came out from a meeting at work.. The company offers a volunteer plan (20.000 euros) to employes, in order to leave the company until the end of August..

We are 40, they need only 8... :sad elf:
The problem is that if we partivipate in the plan and take the money and go, we can not find a job elsewhere.. There are no jobs in Greece....
