Hey!!!! When did you write that?? heheheYes, she is a wonderful looking cougar!
Too sweet.
Well, bon soir fugees. Stuff ta do before Monday.
Bahahahaha!!! I have the wood stove going to the point that our interior feels like a kiln, or blast furnace. Doing it as a tribute for all the Paps, Grandpas, Paw Paws who are now on to the next level.
I had four of them and was groomed to be the patriarch of three households by them. It was something which offered me a lot of humility, something I never chose yet had chosen for me. Then, here I am now and it seems I'm not even able to be anything even for one household. *sigh & smh* "Well, piss ..."
Many Mandolins? Got a folk music group on tour?

Hahahaha, Lynn....I haven't heard that phrase in a LONG time......
Am I showing my age here?Hahahaha, Lynn....I haven't heard that phrase in a LONG time......
I did and everyone around it too!
So I'm a bit annoyed at the moment. I was looking forward to starting this week because I knew I'd be off next weekend due to inventory. Got told tonight we'd probably be working because the orders were so far behind. 
So I said that's ok, next week will be a 4 day week because of Christmas. The notice on the board for the last 2 months has said that production would cease on the 22nd because the 23rd will be used as a holiday(that I don't get paid for being a temp) and the company would be shut down until Jan 2. Tonight they say well, the orders are behind so certain cells( one of which I feed) will operate starting the 26th(which is another holiday that I don't get paid for). I looked at the group leader and said you've got to be effing kidding me?? I'm not working those days!! I made plans and nobody is going to change them this time. I'll just look for another job after Jan 2. The company can just go and eff themselves. 
Shew...I feel so much better!!

Whatever it is, they must me making a small fortune!
Have you heard the phase "Time to check out of hotel happiness"?....another oldie but goodies....I did and everyone around it too!
When you mentioned "time to blow this popstand", it reminded me of the later phrase.....
Half shafts for cars. The thing is, they have piss poor management. You come in to work only to find out there's no parts to work with. Or you come in, have parts and they shut you down to go and work in another cell because they have people who call out because they're tired of working 7 days. Do you see how orders get behind? They need to fire everyone in upper management and start all over.
Yep! I haven't heard that one in ages either!Have you heard the phase "Time to check out of hotel happiness"?....another oldie but goodies....

I thought we just recently got the news that you had already been hired permanently?
Sounds like the doofuses who do the ordering at my local Walmart and Kroger. Totally inept. Supposedly Point-Of-Sale inventory control systems were conceived to alleviate problems like idiots in charge of ordering, but nooooooooooo...............

No..I got the paperwork to become permanent. I turn in the paperwork, they do a background check, do a drug screen and then I'm permanent.I thought we just recently got the news that you had already been hired permanently?

Yep! Of course, I can still hope the company I put an application in last week calls.Things can only get better (we hope) Lynn, cuz it sounds like things can't get much worse.....
I'm not the naughty one, Mr Elf and Mini Mouse though, wow, who would have expected that!Naughty Mr. Wong......
Mini should be ashamed of herself. She got a room with an Elf!!!!

OK, ignore my previous reply. I get it now. By the time all of that happens it will be past the holidays.
Things to not ask when facing adversities
"Why me?"
Well, you obviously needed to learn something. Nature, Life, the Cosmos, Providence are all the most excellent teachers and often arrange adversities as lessons for you, in short because you asked for it.
"What next?"
You don't want to know. Don't ask. If you do ask then, you better expect whatever it is to be twice as nasty and come at you hard and fast.
"When will it end?"
You will not care. It only ends when you cease living and the dead have no concerns of the living, ergo you won't care when it ends, you'll be dead.
"Why is life unfair?"
Unfair as opposed to what comparison? Life does not need to be fair or unfair, it simply offers the being the IS, it is what is. Most of us don't have anything to compare it to, either. What exactly is fair, anyway? Who says?
"Can somebody/something save me?"
Walk into your bathroom and look into the little window over the vanity sink. There's someone in that window that'll save you. By the way it's not a window but a mirror. Say hello to yourself. Remember, you asked for it.

I've found that the best answer to this is 'Why NOT me?"
One that I often ask is "What did I do to deserve this?" NOT because I don't think I deserve it -- I really want to know what action brought about this particular set of circumstances, so I can avoid doing that particular action ever again!
Unfortunately, I have learned that often the chief cause of pain is... love. If you love someone, you care what happens to them. If they get in trouble, get hurt, get sick, or god forbid, die... it's gonna hurt. No way to avoid it. But a life without love is just not worth living at all, so the bitter must be taken with the sweet.

Very well said Andria.

Dang Lucy, you're platinum already? And we joined on the same day. Guess I'm a slacker.
I am not sure I would describe a wig as luscious.
