....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

PJTP -

You all know that the job front for me has been a little crazy. Layoffs are around once or twice a month since the beginning of the year. I work for a large oil tool company that just recently decided to merge all the divisions (a total of 9). I work as an admin in the Import/Export Compliance dept.

So, with the announcement of the merge, we were told that we were moving to another building across town. I was told I'd work under Ms. Z with my co-worker Princess, but it wasn't made official.

Then Princess was out last week and Ms. Z was notified and I was cc'd on the email...and Ms. Z sent an email asking if anyone there could do the imports while Princess was out.

My first thought was, "If I'm on Z's roster, then why doesn't she know I exist???" I immediately replied with a "look at me!" email.

Another email came out later that was generic, from the big-big boss, and I sent an email with a few well-worded questions and was told that pretty soon I'll be moving under Ms. M. M??? wth? When did that change? So, still not knowing what's what, I let it rest a few days.

Yesterday our group was invited to go to the other location and participate in a cookout they were having. I had a BALL!!! When we got back I sent an email to the big boss that I wanted to talk to him.

He called me later at home! I was not prepared for that.

He said I was safe, I had a home there and that I was getting a promotion. (Title only, grade and $$ won't come while layoffs are happening, but will later.) I won't be an admin, I'll be handling exports along with a team of others whom I adore!

I am so relieved and so happy. I had an interview for another department and now I'm thinking of cancelling that. It's not at all appealing, but it was a job and I was worried...now, I'm soooo happy beyond belief!!!

Sorry for the lengthy post!!!

DH's 'rent are almost here...need to finish cleaning up a bit. Ya'll have a GREAT weekend!

BUT I FIT A SIZE 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Would it be so wrong to only buy that manufacturers clothing for the rest of my life???

Hot damn! That is awesome Tap!!!!! :thumbup:

Thanks Slim.

Perhaps this is the incentive I need to help curb my appetite until my next fill!

Um, I don't suppose it is fashionable to wear clothes with the tag outside, is it??:thumbup:

Tap~ What a great NSV! Single digit clothes - WOW!

Glouc~ What a relief. Sounds like you will be working with a great group of people - makes the job so much easier. And no princess!

Crzy~ Welcome! Fish makes me gag!

Beth~ Hope you are feeling ok, sounds like you tied one on last night!

Heart~ Hope you are feeling better, sounds like the flu. It is horrible to get sick like that when you are away from home.

PJTP: I have a DECA event today with the kids and we are having a water war and a huge slip n slide - I am going to go for it! Can't wait - it is on a hill and looks like so much fun! The FB boys did it a couple of weeks ago before school started and I just wanted to run out and join in, but thought better of it - DS probably would have been a bit embarassed. Haha, he will be there today! But now he is on my playing field!

Took DD shopping for necessities last night. She was so funny. She didn't think of all the things that she just takes for granted, they just show up and she uses them. She was pushing the cart and I was following along, she got in the spirit of being a poor college student and was checking prices, etc. Aww, she is all grown up and I am going to miss her.

Well, I better finish up some housework and get busy. Have to be at school to get set up and get the BBQ fired up for the parent meeting after we have some fun.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Um, I don't suppose it is fashionable to wear clothes with the tag outside, is it??

I'd wear them inside and point to the tag! Heck, I would make a shirt and wear it! Be proud!

It is a real shock the first time you have to get everything; like the first time you set up a kitchen and realize that you need EVERYTHING from cutlery and pots and pans to salt and dishclothes!.

A brick?

Or PTF PRN (pillow to face, as needed)

Propofol is kinda frowned upon now - and too short acting to do you any good - I guess you'll have to use good old alcohol (make some delicious 'ritas!
