Laura, You think you are pregnant? I fired a weekly customer a few years back. It was the hardest thing, still feel bad about the situation, but know I would have just had more headaches than the law allows. I wish there was an easy way...Good luck!!

Judy, where are you???? Susie did you get your pool? TracyK did you get moved? Terry, Michelle, Laura, Kat Hello!! TracyKS glad you had fun!! Jen are you MIA forever?? Haydee did you have a good weekend? A lot of people are going to be on vacation this week at work. I decided to work a short day on Saturday. I will probably work until one or so, I have so many regulars on Saturday it is hard to take off when Friday is a holiday. Plus, you know I am so loving the fact that I have Monday off, that working Saturday is no big deal. I think July I will start over again with my diet etc... I don't get a fill until the end of the month, so maybe I will pretend I am doing a pre diet for installation? I don't know, but I am out of control and need help!!! I am also going to try to track everything in a book I bought at the dollar store, it has a page for each day. Maybe that will do the trick. I have NEVER tracked what I have eaten and done. I am so unorganized that I have never really succeeded in that. I wish I was more like Michelle!!!! Has anyone got their picture taken at a Dennys? Okay I am off to start the day!!

HAVE A GREAT TRIP PAMELA!!!!!!!!!!! The bracelet looks great! I was cleaning today and must have channeled Terry, because I fixed 2 pair of earrings, 1 bracelet, and made 3 bracelets! Some of the bracelets were already started. They are very, very simple. One is even so simple it is just clear and black swaraski beads. I never know what to wear when I wear black, because I really don't wear it that much because I think black makes me look too pale. AGAIN, PAMELA HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Headache this morning. Cleaning some, moving not so fast. I should be doing some homework. I have an investment club meeting tomorrow night and don't even know what I am supposed to do!! Bad, Bad!! Susie, I am imagining your pool is almost up!?! Maybe a neighbor will lend you a hose so you can use their water to help you fill?? I also hope for sunshine to make it warm!!! My sister and brother in law have a built in pool, and even though we have had some warm days, we haven't really had a lot of sun to warm the water. They say it is cold!! Did I ever tell you guys my gum story? A friend of mine came up to work who had just found out she had cancer (has had surgery and chemo and is now cancer free!!) anyways I ALWAYS chew gum and ALWAYS have gum in my station, she asked if she could have a stick and I said no, that I only had one peice left, and it was mine. She said but I have cancer, I replied I will pray for you but you can't have my last peice of gum. She has a great sense of humor and we all laughed about it and it became a big joke, so I made up a gum of the month club where I send her a couple packs of gum a month for a year. I was hoping to find some odd gum in Texas, but didn't, if anyone finds very odd gum, could you ship it to me and let me pay you? I have 5 months left, and am almost gummed out!! I went to the global foods we have here and bought what little they had. Went to World Market, and they didn't have any. So if you have your eyes out for me I would appreciate it. Money really isn't an object since gum is pretty cheap. Thanks!!! Well I off to do some more cleaning, at least I have more motivation than I have had in a long time. Jane

Hello, waited all night for Susie, now I am going to bed a disappointed violet:crying:! Pamela, your vacation sounds sooo neat. Tomorrow (6-28) is my dads 75th birthday. We finally got it all together and are having a dinner at my Aunts. He really is a special kind of man, and everybody that meets him agrees. I go into work early tomorrow since I was off today, then go to my aunts so may not be posting until late. I hope all have a nice weekend and extra special hugs to TracyK for moving!!

Tracyks have fun in Vegas!!!! We are jealous!!!! I am sure the other Tracy would much rather be on a plane then moving!!! I made a HUGE mistake at bank on one of my loans, thought I had an automatic payment set up, but nooooo!!! So it hasn't been paid since the end of April. Have to go in today to straighten that out. Luckily I have a real nice person who takes care of me!!! She said she would wipe out all late fees etc....... Need to stop and get her some something! Okay enough of me have a great day!! Jane

Pamela when do leave? TracyKS HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to switch Dr.s for a number of reasons, but the biggest is that he lied to me, or his office staff or someone. I am not one to call or bug him at all. I see him 2x's a year when I have to. I hate going to the doctor. I had a problem when my insurance switched pharmacies, I had problems getting what I needed, pharmacy said it was Dr., Dr. said it was pharmacy, who do you believe, anyway that went on for 5 weeks, and cost me money because I couldn't use the 3 month thing. Anyways that all worked out, but when I needed a Dr. to tell me my results from the heart thing they told me they never rec. fax. The heart Dr.'s office said they did and had gotten confirmation back, they said they had sent it twice, but would once again send it again. I finally had to go pick up the report, and when I came home from work, it was in the mail with the date of last Friday on it. That was when they said he didn't get it and was already gone for the weekend. He then could have called me Monday and didn't. So long story short and probably lost most people by this point out of boredom or confusion, I am switching Dr.s. I can take my time because I don't go back to Dr. until October or November. I just hope that I never pass out again, or have an episode like the one I did. I have been out of my mind eating like it is going out of style. Makes me mad that I have no control. Oh well, better get to bed. Jane

I finally got my results from the holter monitor, but had to go to the cardiologists office to pick them up. It showed that I had an extra beat occasionally and some other things that I don't think are anything. I have made up my mind that I am not going back to my regular Dr. I have to find who I am going to, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Laura I agree with Terry, call your Dr.!! That is too scary! Kat, you look great in the picture!!! I can't wait to see your before and after now!! It must feel so weird!! I am so happy for you!! I hope Macy is better tonight. Well off to bed, and see you tomorrow!! Jane

Denise, I am so happy for you and your family, I am sure that was super scary! Tracy, if you lived closer I would cancel my appointments and come help you pack!! TracyKS I am sure that would be weird seeing your face, but you really are an inspiration. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSIE AND JUDY!!!!!!!!!! I am feeling okay physically, but sad mentally. I have gained weight. I am not up to 259. I really need a fill, but can't get one til the end of July. There is just a lot going on, nothing big or horrible, I think my coping mechanism is off a bit, and not making me deal well. Off to get ready for work!!

Pamela, are you serious about taking pix? I can take them, just can't post!! I think I will shoot for September 1st. I have to pack all the paperweights I have, because they are in the living room in 3 display cases. I have about 300, so it will take a while, plus I am so not fast, and not in a hurry. So September might be next year sometime. I need to commit to a time, sound familiar Haydee?? I can't imagine what you are going through with Juan, but I know you deserve the best, and if he can't give you that, you need to find somebody who can!!! Hey how come I had to go to advanced, yesterday it let me do this without the advanced. Hey Terry I like the shirt:w00t:!!

Susie, you are turning 50??? We need to send you 50 things!!! Maybe 50 bandaids, or 50 ace wraps! I wanted the card to come on your birthday, not today!! I mailed it Saturday, now if your birthday was today, it wouldn't get there until tomorrow! I love birthdays, just wish I knew it was 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Terry, how many beads did you end up getting? Did you ever decide what to make? I looked at floors, and really liked the cheapest floor I saw, which is really odd, usually I like the most expensive. It is not what I wanted either. So if I go with that it looks like I can get it all done for under one thousand dollars, labor and materials. But I don't jump to anything, so will keep looking. The Dr. didn't call me today about the holter monitor, that makes me so angry. ATT did not call me either about my car. Oh well have a nice night!!

Haydee and TracyK Hugs!!! I am off to get some things accomplished and have lunch with a friend. I might stop by a flooring place, been saving money the past two years from Christmas at work to get a new floor at home. I think I have enough saved. I will feel guilty though, I think about what I should pay off instead of a new floor. Jane

Susie, thanks for swinging by and picking me up!!!!!!!!!!! Unless I am needed as a car I am in!!!!!! If I remember correctly it was cheaper for people to fly into St. Louis. Actually why don't we just rent a party bus from KC airport to St. Louis airport, then we can go to Memphis airport pick people up and be there and none of us have to drive. I am sure that won't cost much?!?!:ohmy: Trying to get motivated to clean. So far that hasn't worked. I took a nap and had a strange dream, now I am trying again for motivation. Anyone have a spare bottle??? I'll even drink it out of a can! Wow now I don't have to go to advanced to make smilie faces or big letters!

Well I am back from my friends house, she is moving this Friday and hasn't really started packing until today!!! I wish she lived closer I would go tomorrow and help. Kat you made me smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess Pamela is seeing George Michael about now, I hope she is enjoying it!! I have gotten tons of bills in the mail the past few days for the episode where I fainted or whatever you call it. OH MY GOSH is all I can say!! I can't believe my deductible is already met, and it is $2500. I think the only people that get rich are the insurance companies who say they are "not for profit"??? When I turned 45 in May my insurance went to $586, for a $2500 deductible!!! I am so getting ripped off!!! The thing is, is this is a government plan here in Missouri, for people who through no fault of their own, are no longer able to get insurance. I had my brain tumor and then 4 months later the business where I was employed dissolved, and no longer was in their group for insurance. For some reason no insurance company would give me insurance!! So I had to turn to what is called "Missouri Health Insurance Pool". I used to have a $500 deductible, then it got too much, then I got a $1000 deductible, now I have the $2500 deductible, with another $5000 out of pocket. Life is soo good with great insurance!!!!!!! I think someone talked about a rants and raves section, I suppose that is where I should have put this post, but you guys are lucky enough to read my rants!!! Don't you feel special!!!! Okay, I should probably get ready for bed!! Jane
