    Welcome newbies! (((hugs))) to those who need them.

    Grief is a funny thing. You just never know how it's going to hit you until it does.

    Heather, that's just beautiful! You're quite talented.

    Oh. My. GOD. Kim... I am so sorry. (((HUGS))) I think Barbie said it right. Keep your mouth shut. You said your peace. Let the chips fall. If your brother is involved, LET HIM. grrrrrr... Totally agree, Beth! And what Katla said, she has no idea what a wonderful daughter she has and all the effort you've made to keep her safe and take care of her already. Let her find out that God only helps those who help themselves. He does not HAND us anything. I'm glad the PT spoke up.

    6. Hobbies: Photography, Scrapbooking, Card-making, Reading
    7. Season: Absolutely Autumn and then Spring.
    8. Movie: WAY too many to mention, but I always fall back on The Sound of Music and Under the Tuscan Sun

    Lisa and Kim - I had exactly the same thought, immediately you told us. Great minds think alike! Never underestimate the wiles of a narcissist! They will do anything to have power over you. :o
    Lots of love to Kim,

    Worked today. I found out that the score of 92 wasn’t from the health dept (Jerry told me it was) but BK’s inspection. Oh, I told the gal who is on the “labor is down” kick that on Fridays Jerry and I usually separate a container of pickles so that I can pick it up Sat. That’s when she told me Jerry would be there. Fine, it can be done tomorrow. Of course, the store manager told me I should do it if she’s not there but if this manager wants to do it, she can knock herself out. She’s cleaning up and I just said “why don’t you wait until I’m finished? No sense doing double work”. I probably should have explained that the reason I peel the onions is so that I can leave earlier on Sat. (since I have extra prep to do) and be out of everyone’s way. What’s the difference if her “labor is down” on Friday or Saturday? She did confirm that it basically means that they aren’t making the profit to justify the salaries. Which, to me, is stupid. To me, they should have the prep in the morning. How do you say to a customer “sorry, you can’t have tomatoes on your sandwich because the gal who does them isn’t here yet because labor is down?” As a customer, my first question would be “what the h### does that mean.” Then I would feel “I really don’t give a crap about your labor, I want my sandwich” Well, this too shall pass. They get on this tangent then go off. So I’ll just wait it out.

    Tracey – hope you feel better soon

    Anne – prayers for your dad

    Flea – what wonderful news that your husband took the job! Sure takes a lot of pressure off you.

    8. Movie: Those that make me laugh, though I don't have much patience for sitting through movies these days. Haven't seen a really funny one in quite a while.

    Tina in CA

    Occasionally I think it might be nice to go to a movie, so I look at the selections ... and there's just nothing appealing at all.

    There have been a lot of remakes recently which leads me to wonder if they're completely out of ideas.
