*slim*

I knew what you meant. My brain just made the leap from there all on its own.:frown: :wink::w00t: :eek: Morning everyone! How is everyone doing today? I am hoping to go back to sleep here in a few. Heartfire-glad that you made it safely. Have fun!

la-la-la-la-la ***said very loudly with my fingers in my ears*** I don't want to hear about pregnacy! I am not listening to Beth! la-la-la-la If I didn't hear it, then it couldn't possibly happen right?:eek: I don't even want to think about the fact that he can now get someone pregnant!!!!!:wink:

I cannot imagine going through this with a girl. I am already losing my mind with this! Not that I had that much to begin with.:w00t:

PJTP:My baby is growing into a little man before my eyes! It is like it happened overnight! We were in Sam's tonight. I thought he had a smudge on his chin. It was hair!!!! He already has a sprinkle of hair on his upper lip, but now thick hair on his chin!!!!! He is 12!!! I can't take this! I need a drink (or 8)!

Tap-those look exactly like I pictured. How cute! I couldn't ever put that on a wall though. I remember seeing something similar in my grandmother's bathroom when I was little.

After the morning that you have, I wouldn't blame you. What she said! If ever there was a bright side to that, a three day weekend would be it!:seeya:

Tap-I hope your eye feels better soon. Ebony, Beth-thinking of you both. I hope both situations work out for the best soon. Morning everyone!

:w00t::lol:I love your wit!

I am really hate this for you Ebony.

Thinking of you Ebony. Hi everyone! This is Thursday, right? Why are the short weeks the longest?

Beth-I agree with Tap. I am feeling so much anger about this entire situation. It isn't like he doesn't know what is going on. For him to sit back like a job is going to come knocking on the front door is awful. I hope things turn around. I hope the thought of losing you is enough to light a fire under his behind.

Morning everyone. Heartfire-I am more concerned about between adjustments. It seems to take me about 3 or 4 weeks to get to the point where I can chew properly (without pain or discomfort). I get the braces adjusted every 6 weeks. I can't do liquids until I get the braces off, but if I get a band adjustment, I will be risking getting stuck a lot. I went through that when I first got the things. I got stuck several times a day. Not a good feeling.

Crappola! I need to be doing that on a more regular basis. I am having a difficult time finding an exercise that I like enough to keep doing it. So far, I just want the magic bullet that takes the weight off, keeps it off, and makes me tone all at the same time. Of course, I do live in "fantasy land" most days... I am glad to know that your DH is ok.

It is obvious to me that I need a fill in the worse way. I have been starving the last few days! Although I haven't gone over calorie wise today, I have eaten like a porker! I am scared to get a fill because of how often I am getting the braces adjusted. I am scared that will my difficulty chewing, I won't be able to get anything down. Any suggestions?

Or, you could tell her that you were so concerned about them breaking, you put them away for safe keeping?

That is so awful! It still boggles my mind the absolute gall of people! They will reverse it all won't they? Have you verified all of your other credit card accounts haven't been stolen?

My DH had to travel quite a bit when he first started his current job. We all (me, DS, and DH) enjoyed DH being gone during the week. My grocery bill went down. Utility bills went down. Then the travel just stopped. It was awful getting used to him being underfoot again. :thumbup:

Food law... Laws of nature... I really hate that I paid for this huge canister of MILD coffee. I am going back to the store this afternoon to get the right kind. I cannot start my mornings with this crud. I should not have to put 12 scoops of coffee in for 6 cups. Even after doing that, it is only drinkable. Not good at all.:thumbup:

Worse, it says its MILD! Who needs mild coffee?:thumbup: The point of coffee (for me, anyway) is the caffeine.

I am brewing another pot of coffee. I kept thinking that my cup of coffee tasted off. I came into the kitchen only to notice that I purchased a different version of my coffee. It tastes like water! I put in double the amount of coffee for this new pot. I hope that works. I don't want to stop at a drive thru to get a cup of coffee. I don't want to, but I will...

Yes they were! I read through them all, but didn't feel coherent enough to respond. I am now half way through my first full cup of coffee.

Morning everyone! (evening to Fanny)

At my company at least, it is. Our reps are actually sent to a school to learn about what it takes to provide good representation. Every opportunity that I have had to deal with our reps, they have gathered their information similar to lawyers preparing for a trial. That's not to say that there aren't bad reps out there (like the one that Ebony has been dealing with), just none of the ones that I have dealt with here.

Way to go!

I will admit that they work harder for the members than they do the non-members. I joined because I was around (via my mom who also worked for the same company) when being a part of the union meant something. I will admit that there are way more members than there are non-members. It is the unity that gets us good benefits.
