Nothing from Ebony yet?

That freakin' sucks!!! I can't tell you how mad I get that many of those who paid into the system can't get the help when they need it, but those who don't pay get tons. I was watching a YouTube video the other day where some representative from a hospital in California was talking about 15 or so patients in her hospital who are illegals and have each cost the hospital over $1.5 million. :thumbup::cursing: This isn't meant to be a political rant here, and I won't make it such, but it just goes to show how bogus the system can be.

It's funny you mention driving too. I drove to and from my folks' a couple months back (just over 500 miles each way) and when I downloaded my info, I was SHOCKED to see how the entire drive it registered much higher than just simply sitting on a couch.

Maybe, but your fear is legitimate and understandable. Sometimes when we are facing such things it's hard to believe that there is some plan or control behind it all. Sometimes we are just entitled to a "pity party" -- however, yours is anything but. MINE is a pity party. Yours is far from it.

Oh no............ G4E, I agree with Slim -- I pray for divine intervention on your behalf. I pray that if there is any blessing meant for me, God will give it to you.

So... do they just want to hear your response to the most recent BS, or are they wanting to counsel you because of a response you have already shown that they take issue with? Omg, that SO sounds like what I came from. Some people have more lunacy than sense.

G4E, prayers sent your way. I'm so sorry you are going through such trials right now. :confused:

I just bought a kit at Office Depot, one by WinWay called Resume Deluxe. It not only has templates for resumes, it will also help you draft an application letter AND it has little movie clip scenarios on how to interview and answer those tricky questions you may be asked -- including how to negotiate your pay. There may be more, but that's all I've found so far. It was $30.

Did I miss something? A new reprimand? For WHAT?? :mad2: :confused:

Omg, SERIOUSLY!!??!!?? That's fantastic!!! There's a story I'd love to be filled in on! :confused:

Wow... what a biotch! :frown:

Not that I'd wish it on anyone, but I have a strong suspicion the cousins are going to have a hard time of it -- if not outright fail -- because, let's face it, where others may have a family who needs to lose weight, they have an ENTIRE COMMUNITY which revels in being fat. They've adopted it as part of their culture.

YAAAY TEENY Tina! You know, as I read this recent post of yours, I was taken back to all the rest of this thread. One day when you have the time (and do it in one day so the effect really hits you), read through the entire thread and see where you've come from and where you are now. If THAT doesn't make you feel good about life, I don't know what will. :frown:

Okay. And good morning. :frown:

What she said -- especially about the triviality of our problems compared to what others may be going through. Makes me feel foolish for even groaning. Almost as bad as I feel for using bad judgment and making jokes when I shouldn't.

Omg, Lulu, I'm so sorry about your friend!! I hope he's going to be okay... can he get a bone marrow transplant? I have to admit I know very little about those two cancers. Makes my life seem rather blessed. I'll keep him and his wife in my thoughts and prayers. Even if you can just get a temporary unfill... yeah, that should help. It's hard to remember that we tense up inside just like we might clench our shoulders. I'm not tight enough to experience tightness. But yes, I'm definitely snacking and doing stuff I shouldn't (and not doing stuff I should). :smile:

Then it's time for a road trip. :smile:

LOL, never you. :smile: Maybe my evil ex-boss from hell. Maybe just some poor soul off the streets.

The GOOD thing is I gave a bunch of clothes away this morning -- and it was more than I thought it would be. I'm saving nice/work clothes for eBay, but I got rid of all my spandex-laden workout/exercise/lounge around pants and tee shirts. My mom hated that I wore printed tees, so they all went bye-bye (except for those that weren't in great shape and I can use for painting or other work around the house). Three kitchen garbage bags full. Wow, did it empty out my drawers and free up some others in the spare bedroom!

Yes, please.

Stress is not working well with my program. 'Nuff said. :party:

AWWWW!!! Well, you deserve to cry your eyes out. That is a milestone as much for you as it is for him.

Hehehe, ain't it grand? :smile:

Hm, that may explain why when I ride my motorcycle, it reflects a higher caloric expenditure.

Me too, CC. There's a part of me that doesn't like the thought of belonging to some company again, but my pride is being bruised by not being called back by ANY of the places I've applied to. :thumbup: P.S. I hope my screaming in your ear when you called me about your 100+ pound weight loss didn't hurt you. lol
