Cheers sunny :D

Stay safe though, can't have you drunkenly injuring yourself :)

I will be safe.
Having a party for the hubby. He turned 40. The bar is a block away. Could maybe walk it faster then driving and finding parking. I can almost see it from my house.

I want to go to a bar, only 2 more months. Well a little less.

I want to go to a bar, only 2 more months. Well a little less.

Really? Hhmmm you were already 21 in my head.

2 months until you can go to a bar, why?

Ooooh I forgot about the minimum age was 21 in the US sorry, but hey only 2 months to go now :)


I agree with walking it sunny, that way you can have a drink or 2 and walk back and no one needs to drive :)

I have to be 21 to go to a bar, and the 3rd of August I will be. I will be in Pennsylvania that week and will hit a few bars. ANyone here live in Pennyslyvania?

All right everyone, I am out for the weekend, going to play golf and shoot some pool and maybe fish. Have a good weekend everybody!

Cya Adam :)

Later Adam, have a good weekend :)

A bit late to the draw but see you adam.

Counting the minutes. Today work feels like prison. Can't be at all because I have cold beers waiting and a hot date with the hubby and my son.

How many Lakers fans do we have here?

Lakers? Sorry, what's that? :o

Is it a (American) football team?
Lol I guess not too many.

Lakers are an NBA team.

Awww well at least your going to have a great night tonight :)
Not long now right?

Happy 40th birthday to your hubby sunny

It is my mums birthday today as well 57th, and it was my brothers 18th yesterday, no parties though :)


I'm going to head off as well now I've been running myself a bath (as I don't have a bath down where I live) and I'm going to relax before the england v usa game which starts in about an hour,

Then ill start climbing into that bag :D

See you later sunny, have a great evening :)

Okay, I googled it this time. I'm not quite a fan of basket ball :o

USA most probably will lose this match. England seems to have a quite easy match tonight :)

Oh, Happy Birthday to your mother Bear :)

See you later bear.
Thanks on the birthday wishes for my husband.
Again, cheers to us. I will have one for you.

Happy Brithday to your husband Sunny! :)
I hope he'll like the surprise ;)

Well, after almost killing self in the heat and an encounter I didn't want to have, I FINALLY have a valid id. Considering my last one expired last August, it was a little past due.

It has the bonus of having a REALLY bad picture. Apparently, riding a bike as fast as possible to the bmv, back home to get proof of address, and BACK to the bmv, all in less than 30 minutes and on the hottest day yet this year, makes my face REALLY red.

That's OK, I'll 'lose' it in a few months and get a replacement card.

Happy Brithday to your husband Sunny! :)
I hope he'll like the surprise ;)

Thanks unky.
Its not so much a surprise any more. My son told him out of excitement. The little turd. But either way it will be fun. In the end I am glad he knows. When we get there not many will be there yet. Most are coming later. I was able to tell him that.

Heath for some reason you just made me giggle.
I can't even begin to explain why.

Ok I am heading home soon. Locking up.
See you all later.
Catch you... whenever.

Cya Sunny :)

Have fun Sunny.


redhed35 agrees : great research,you really know your stuff!

Didn't want to clutter a question thread, Red. I do that sort of reseach at least twice a day. You get weird questions all the time in the bug business.

Hi Unk

Suck it up USA and I get my new shoes!

Hi again all.

What's with the horrible hornets noise. I was watching some of the footy but the background sound is giving me a headache.

I've been earning brownie points cooking up a storm for hubby to enjoy with the footy. I made chili, pavlova, ice-cream, sorbet and chocolates. And stocked up on beer. Didn't actually make that though. Think he's appreciative but he's busy moaning at the England Goalie right now.

I made lemonade. I'm just waiting for it to cool. I'll share when it's ready. It's made with real lemon juice and everything.

Ooh yum heath. I haven't had real lemonade for ages. Now you made me want to make some but I don't have any lemons. It's going on my to do list though.

NIght all! Unky really tired...

Night night Unky.

I used a bottle of lemon juice. Cheaper and easier than juicing a bunch of lemons.

Well we have a market that sells fruit really cheap. I bought loads of strawberries and cherries which is how I came to make the ice-cream, pavlova, and sorbet. I had pounds of the stuff. I made some chocolates just because I fancied that, I always have the ingredients for chocolate in! ;)

I'm a bit of a freak about making stuff from scratch. I even make my own shampoo, shower gel, pretty much everything.

Never got the hang of making decent alcohol though so we buy that.

Hubby asked me if I could work out how to make fizzy water. I was in a naughty mood so said, 'fetch me a bottle of water and I'll fart in it!' *blushes*

She is not nesting... she confuses other kittens to be hers that are already 4 weeks old... she doesn't even know she is in labor... I don't have money I am on ssi... I don't know what to do for her... she goes from room to room and lays down meows for me to be there... and if I am not there... then she will delay the labor... I called the vet and they said I needed to come with 250 dollars and they don't bill... this is my baby... her life depends on me not having money... them people don't even want to give me advice over the phone... they say bring her in... I said I am disabled and don't have money... they say they can't help me... what the hell is wrong with doctors these days.. same with people money make the living live... if you don't have money and you have an emergency the human doctors around here will not see you even when you are about to die... even emergency rooms are making people like me pay 150 before you get seen... back to the question what do I do when my cat doesn't know she is going to have kittens

You should share your recipes for shower gel and whatnot. Do you have one for laundry detergent?

Heath... I'm glad you're here for that woman. Thanks... Hi everyone else... Love... Gotta go woman having man trouble on thread... later:D

suck it up USA and i get my new shoes!

Tie gets you shoes. We need pics.

you should share your recipes for shower gel and whatnot. do you have one for laundry detergent?

I don't use laundry detergent I use soapnuts.
I get these if you aren't familiar with them:

http://www.inasoapnutshell.com/index.html

They are great for the environment, don't fade colours, really good for people with allergies/chemical sensitivies (which my family has hence the making everything from scratch) and are so cheap. I buy a kg for £11 and that lasts me about 6-8 months. I used to pay about £7 for enough laundry detergent for 1 month. No idea what they would cost in the USA if they are available, but worth checking out if you're on a tight budget. They do a fine job on our laundry but don't know how good they would be on say a mechanic's overalls.

I don't buy any household cleaners either. Just use bicarb (baking soda) and white vinegar to clean. Again great for the health and environment and mega cheap. I bulk buy so keep the cost way down. For a really cheap soapy cleaner I save the ends of soap bars (I do buy unscented vegetable soap) and whizz them up in the blender with water and add a bit of lemon juice.

For shampoo and shower gel etc I bulk buy organic liquid soap-base then add various herbs, flowers, essential oils etc depending on how I want it to work out. I use coconut oil, cocoa butter and almond oil as conditioners or moisturisers. It is possible to make your own soap bases but it's quite tricky and a bit scary, as you basically have to boil fats or oils with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. If you want to be that brave you need to check out a soap-making site for proper detailed instructions.

Well that's the rough jist.

Well here I am at the coffee house tonight, working the sound system, it is teen and tween ( preteen) night. So I am working the sound system for the first act, ( rap) something just seem funny, Do I need a cool DJ name ?

I bet you could sell your creations. Organic and all-natural products are becoming more and more popular every year.

i bet you could sell your creations. organic and all-natural products are becoming more and more popular every year.

I'm not sure how much shelf-life they would have as I don't use preservatives, I just make stuff when I need it. Besides it is so easy I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't just do it themselves if they were keen on that sort of thing. But thanks for the suggestion.

Not as clever as making your own washing machine though. Now that is environmentally friendly and cheap.

Onstage they sing and steal the show
McFriar knows your in da groove
So get onstage and make your move
Be loud be proud its your time
To sing a song and make it prime.

OK, I want to use soapnuts, now. The biggest draw? No rinse cycle.

I found one site that sells them in the us. A 1kg bag is $40, which seems to about as cheap as you can get them, here. If I get this job, then I think I'll find a way to order them. It would completely eliminate the need to buy laundry soap, household cleaners, and maybe even soap and shampoo.

I'd like to get as low-impact and eco-friendly as possible. I'm living on my own for the first time, so this is as good a time as any to start. And, with cats, the fewer chemicals in my cleaners, the better.

Hello bear I haven't caught up with you in a while. Hi Fr Chuck. That sounds cool enough for a DJ name to me, but hey I'm no queen of cool.

Hi QP long time no see :)

Heath what's a soapnut? Is it just a massive block of soap?

Ouch they cost a lot in the USA compared to here! I did try using soap-nut solution for shampoo etc but it's very thin and I haven't found a good way to thicken it up. If you do want to go down the natural route here's a site that might give you some ideas. I'm afraid all the suppliers are in the Uk but if you pick up some tips you might find similar suppliers over the pond.

Imperfectly Natural Janey Lee Grace (http://imperfectlynatural.com/)

Do you have any health-food shop or herbalist type shops that might sell you a very small quantity of soapnuts and other things to try out? Some people love them and some hate them so it would be a shame to spend $40 if you don't like them.

If you want some specific ideas tell me your needs and I'll try to help, I don't want to bung up the whole thread with detailed instructions on every possilbe cleaning or toiletry situation and bore everyone silly lol.

It's these bear:

In A Soapnut Shell (http://www.inasoapnutshell.com/index.html)

Looks like pauperie?

looks like pauperie?

You use them instead of laundry detergent lol.

Actually heath if you can't find anywhere to get your hands on a sample of soap-nuts to try, Pm me with an address I can send you some to. For obvious reasons you might not want to share your actual address, or name come to that, but just Pm me whatever name and address you want to use that they could get to you by and I'll post you a little bag. They weigh very little so I don't think the postage will break the bank even to the USA.

Unless there's some kind of USA law that prevents me sending them by post,or you would have to pay import tax or something silly?

Fair enough :)

Funny watching for real today: Watching someone with crutches trying to dance the twist.

the same site has the option to buy a sample bag of 5-6 nuts for $1. I might order a sample from them, and try to find some place cheaper to get the bulk quantity. That's just the site I found after searching for about 30 seconds.

it may very well be so much more because of import fees. I don't really know.

there aren't any health-food or herbalist stores in the county, at least not that would carry something like that. Even if I had a car, I'd probably have to drive 45-60 minutes to find one, and there's a good chance they wouldn't have soapnuts.

why not start a thread for homemade all-natural cleaning supplies. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested.

having never sent or received international mail, I have no idea what the regulations would be.

for all I know, super-sniffer drug dogs would sniff them out, think they're candy, and choke to death on one. OK, maybe not THAT! ^_^

Yeah I'd go with the sample first then. Sounds safer than me sending a sample to kill doggies with ><.

I'll think on your suggestion about the thread but right now it's 2am here so time to hit the hay. (Not literally, I might be a nature freak but I have a real bed lol).

Nighty night.

A real bed is on my list of things to buy when I have enough money. My 100% recycled bag-o-scrap-foam just isn't cutting it anymore.

Night QP have a god one :)

Heath I guess if the sniffer dogs did eat it, it would be like washing their mouth out with soap :D... theres a joke in there somewhere

Oh, final thought before I turn in heath. I chat on another forum with the lady that I buy soapnuts from in the UK. I'll pick her brains to see if she knows anyone who supplies cheaply to the USA. I'll get back to you. Now definitely night night.

Night bear.

Night, QP.

Think ill hit the hay as well, bloody hay deserves a kicking,

Night heath take care :)

I love how this guy handled his breakup.

A marine, stationed in Iraq, recently received a “dear John” letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows;

Dear Ricky,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice since you’ve been gone, and it’s not fair to either one of us. I’m sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent you.

Love, Becky

The marine was crushed, so he asked his fellow marines for any pictures they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters, ex-girlfriends, cousins, etc. In the addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies.

There were 57 photos in that envelope, along with this note;

Dear Becky,

I’m so sorry, but I can’t quite remember who you are. Please take your picture out of the envelope and send the rest back to me.

Thanks, Ricky

Hehe, it's so evil, and I love it.

She deserved it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY !!!!!

Stringer

Uh... exams are approaching :eek: :(

Uh... exams are approaching :eek: :(

You'll be fine,how about after the exams?

Will you have a graduation night? Or prom? Debs?

My own two have their dbs in August,everyone dresses up,they have booked a band and dinner in a hotel,it's a big deal here,as most if not all the year will have turned 18.

I still can't believe I'll be 18 in a week...

How was it for you? If you don't mind. :)

Hm.. the one coming is more like a prep exam, for the end of year exam. It will be the last exams that I get from my school. The end of year exams will be from Cambridge. Then, there will be graduation and there might be prom.

Debs? Google was not so informative on that... :(

Sounds nice, we'll need you to tell us what happened ;)

I can hazard a guess as too what will happen,however ill think ill want to block it from my memory.

I think I had fun on my 18th. I was able to go to the bars, so... It's kind of hazy.

Ah, lol OK, I think I can guess.

It's OK. :)

Do you have any big plans for your actual Birthday?

I don't. Maybe there's something being planned I'm not aware of... who knows?

I don't. Maybe there's something being planned I'm not aware of... who knows?

Ok, bedtime... and school tomorrow.

Cya then! :)

Hello peeps. How's every one doing on this fine Sunday?

Debating what I should eat for dinner. I'm thinking about making spaghetti and garlic bread.

Hahah I guess I am, because I still don't get it!

Ohhhhhh I get it. Hahaha the spelling. DING!

Ohhhhhh I get it. hahaha the spelling. DING!!

This is why we love her so.

No drinking, it is the good drugs. Having a serious leg issue with the recovery so the doc gave me some really good drugs.

Haha thanks Sunny. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes, but I usually clue in!

Sorry to hear that chuck. I hope your OK. I suppose you are with the good meds. Great pictures by the way.

I had an awesome awesomest weekend. I am having a beer and dreading the end of it. It was a perfect family time weekend and birthday party for the hubby.

Sigh... Mondays suck

Haha thanks Sunny. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes, but I usually clue in!

You clue in and most days I just try and tune out.

Hope you feel better soon Chuck! Did the doc say why it wasn't healing?


Sunny, glad to hear you had a good week end too! I had a blast. Paying for it today though ;)

You clue in and most days I just try and tune out.


I smile and nod because I have no idea what's going on. Lol.

Hope you feel better soon Chuck! did the doc say why it wasn't healing?


Sunny, glad to hear you had a good week end too! I had a blast. Paying for it today though ;)

Chuckster what am I missing? What happened and why isn't it healing?

I was sure after the party last night for Marvin I would be hurting today. We were at the bar 10 hours. God love us. My bar tab was 150-something. That's no lie. In my drunking stuper I gave her a 50 tip, I think, on top of the 150. I haven't looked in the checkbook yet. I am waiting for morning. Didn't want to ruin this day stressing over it.

Then we woke up and the three of us just went out for a ride exploring whatever crossed our paths. Well we found this awesome trail to hike with some amazing rocks and I can't wait to go back. The pictures I took didn't do it justice.

Nate is my son, he is doing a fairly good act now. The young ladies were just cute and I told them I would put there picture on a site with international exposure.

It was a very serious set of breaks and we are now building up usage, went from holding 25 percent of body weight, to 50 percent this week. It really just hurts badly but is getting better.
The swelling issue is the biggest concern, going for some more Therapy this week. ( three times) So hopefully can work on it more.

I just have to sit and not do a lot, that is really worst than the pain

Well I am sure the Mrs. is taking super good care of you.
Handsome son by the way. I honestly wondering if he were yours.

Sorry, guess everyone was up on my accident.

About 6 week ago, I fell off my company van ( foot was hooked on van) and it did two serious "twist" type breaks and a toe also I think. On a third cast now and just starting to put weight on it.

It just does not want to move, can't even hardly wiggle the toes, so a lot of work to do

Well Chuk, here's fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Wow Sunny, big spender!! Lol ahh well at least it was a once in a while type of thing. Are the pics on Facebook?

I had no idea. I don't follow many threads because of time reasons. So I missed it along the way. I am so sorry to hear that. I am a huge baby when it comes to pain. I am cringing at the thought of it. In time you will be well again.

Not the best picture, but here is the wife ( Toni) at a performance a couple of months ago.
I think this was Eddies Attic in Decatur GA.

Well Chuk, here's fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

Wow Sunny, big spender!!! lol ahh well at least it was a once in a while type of thing. Are the pics on facebook?

Well I bought everyone the pizza and wings. Then I just ran a tab for whatever. Most people bought our drinks. But of course silly me started rounds of shots for all us girls. I started taking pictures but then ran out of room on my camera. I have some I am putting on Facebook right now but for some reason I am in the middle of it and Facebook went down. Are you able to get in?

If I had any talent of any kind I would want nothing more then to be able to sing or play some kind of instrument. Very nice picture.

Great pic Chuck.

You I am on FB, but I had issues last week uploading new pictures. I had to upload some plug in or something. Than it wouldn't work for like an hour. It froze everything up on me.

Yes that's what its doing. I just don't want the album published until I fix it.
I just posted one from us at the bar here in the pictures thread. Long before I drank my share.

Chuck what are you doing to take up spare time? You must not be still working right?

No, I made the very bad judgement of returning right back to work, they put me on a desk job.

I hate the desk job, and to be honest feel the company has started to discriminate against me because of the injury.

But spare time,? I live on here,

Well tisk on them. I have seen to many times in my area deserving employees get the shaft for no reason. No reason other then they weren't kissing butts. I hope it all goes well. You can replace a job but a job can't replace a valuable employee.

OK this Facebook thing has got on my last nerve. I am shutting down for the night. Need to catch some zz's its been a long weekend. Not to mention the fresh air and sunshine today did us all in. But it feels so great!

Good night chuck and bella if your still around. I will be here in the morning.

Nighty Night Sunny.

Night sunny, ill keep an eye out for those party pics, there wasn't a pole around was there :D

Hi bella
Hi chuck

Facebook, I do the farmville and the farm town, sort of adicting.

I still can't believe I'll be 18 in a week...

how was it for you? If you don't mind. :)

My memory doesn't stretch back that far accurately, but if you picture something alone the lines of a merry get together on the flintstones that should be about right. (Do you guys all know the flintstones?)

Do get better soon Chuck. Hugs. (gentle ones)

Can you guys help me pick something to wear to my interview in the morning?

I have it narrowed down to a few options.

The pictures suck. Blame my webcam. The shirts did NOT photograph well on the hangers.

31490
You can't tell, but this shirt is actually a pattern of black and green leaves on that 'crinkly' material that always looks pleated.

31491
This one is actually a royal purple.

31492
This one is a robin's egg blue, and doesn't usually make me look that 'lumpy'

31493
This one is bright green.

What kind of job is it for again heath?

Just generally though id go with the bottom one, with the top one as backup

Purple or bright green would be my choices. I liked the purple best

It's in a factory setting, so I want to come across professional, but not too girly. I don't want them to think I'm afraid of manual labor and getting dirty.

Hmmmm ill stick with my first pick but change the backup to the blue one

I agree with McFriar. Go with the purple one. They all look good. But for what your interview is purple might be best.

OK, so two for purple and two for green and one for blue.

Heath, have you looked at what the workers there normally wear and how they wear it (for example: shirt hems tucked in)?

I love the print, but I think it might suit an office job a bit more. Out of the other three, I think I like the blue best with the major thought being dressing for the interview as though you were going to start right then.

Regardless of which one you choose, remember it is you and your personality and attitude that will win them over. Positive thoughts and attitude. :D

virtual greenie for you Cat :D

ok, so two for purple and two for green and one for blue.

I forgot to say. Good luck. Hope it goes well for you.

The few people I've seen going in and out have been wearing very casual clothes. Along the lines of jeans shorts and t-shirts. The ladies I talked to who work in the office were just wearing casual slacks and semi-casual tops.

I'd be able to work in all but the green shirt. It tends to need adjusted.

Living so close has a very very appealing benefits. If they do hire me and want me to start right after the interview, I can come home and chance and be back in 5-10 minutes, tops.

I've always been told to dress for every interview like you're going out for a high-class job. That it's better to be overdressed than underdressed. Even if you're just interviewing at a fast food joint, it's never a bad thing to put extra effort into your appearance.

Well, I'll take the first shirt out of the running. That leaves the other 3 to choose from.

That just leaves putting together a stone bag for luck, and remembering to wear real shoes in the morning. Flip-flops are not appropriate for a job interview.

Facebook, I do the farmville and the farm town, sorta adicting.

Add me Chucky, I do farmville too. Won't you be my neighbor? ;)

Is it too late to vote on Heaths top?

I like the purple.

How are you?

Edit::: Ok then... night.

OK, so 3 votes for the purple, 2 for the green, and 1 for the blue.

How are you?

Edit::: Ok then....night.

I'm okay Stringy. How are you?

Sorry, I had to leave for a minute, Jared needed me.

ok, so 3 votes for the purple, 2 for the green, and 1 for the blue.

Go purple! Go purple! :)

Right now, I need to go to bed. Night everyone. It's up early for me, in the morning. My sister's giving me a wake-up call and everything.

Good night Heath, and good luck. :)

Facebook, I do the farmville and the farm town, sorta adicting.

Yes I think we help each other out.
To addicting. Sometimes I plant 4 day crops just so I stay away! I am way better then I used to be. Realized how much time it sucks up.

Ok I need to get ready for work. What the heck am I doing on here before work!

Hheath, I liked the first one, the purple is def nice, bu the first one is really cute. Do you have a jacket or a nice sweater that you are going to wear?

Any who, I'm sure you will look great in what ever you wear. Good luck! :)

Hey Bear, I missed you there again! I swear not doing it on purpose. I fell asleep lol.

I would choose the blue one... but that may be because of my preference for that colour...

No idea what time it is in your world heath, but if I'm not too late then wishing you very good luck. (I'm whispering it in case you're asleep). :)

Hello QLP! I think I've never been around when you were...

Here it's 4.30 pm :)

Heath good luck to you. Your maybe already in your interview but I am thinking of you and giving you this shout out so you know it. By the way I liked all the tops. You looked equally good in them all to me.

Good morning everyone else.

Hey Sunny! :)

Probably way too late: The first one

Morning!

Hellooooooo

Not too late, interview is in about an hour. I'm feeling good about today. The cats were calm this morning, for once. I was expecting a wake up call from my sister, but my niece called, instead. Then she called back so my nephew could talk to me.

Today is a good day. I can just feel it.

Oh, and I think I'm going to go with the purple.

Quiet I am still trying to sleep, boy you are all loud in the morning

How is everyone on this fine Monday morning? I'm just excited I only work 5 days this week.

Quiet I am still trying to sleep, boy you are all loud in the morning

Sorry Chuck... :(

I'll go back to bed then..

Wooo! You just came in all of a sudden :p Is there a common alarm clock? ;)

Yowzer!
You all woke at the same time.
Hey muddy, adam, unky and chuck or and the newly employed heath. I say that because you will be.

A 5 day work week? Adam your so lucky. I am so sick of working 6 days every week.

I worked 6 days a week for the past 5 weeks and I am ready to go back to working every other Saturday.

I worked 6 days a week for the past 5 weeks and I am ready to go back to working every other Saturday.

Seriously? I have been doing it since the first week of December. I get here at 8:20ish and get home after 5:30. I hate it. The hours are fine. If it weren't for six days. Then people get annoyed with me when I turn down invites all the time. But when I am home Sundays with Gavin I really just want to stay home with him.

Wow, that would suck. I feel you on this one. I feel bad for complaining now. That is forever, I bet you forgot what it feels like to sleep in on a Saturday huh? I know I have and it has only been 5 weeks. I enjoy my Sundays just being me and my girlfriend, just having a lazy day so I understand that too.

Well as long as I stay here that's the way it will be.
I don't see this place being around much longer. He is so in debt its not even funny. I stress over it and they are my bills. All the collectors call me and I have to hear it and the asking for money while he sits around and refuses to take the calls. This is sad but one collector calls every day. I am so sick and tired of it I told him my boss was gone on a 10 day cruise. Total lie. But I can't take the calls. It worked though. Lol

That would get so old really fast, At least you got one off your back for a few days. I wish I could throw my dang phone here out the window. We don't have caller i.d. here so we have to answer the phone with a polite answer every time and 90% of the calls in here are the girls I work with personal calls because she doesn't get signal in her office with her cell phone. So it really sucks answering the phone thinking it might be an important call and it is her husband or mom.

Yes well I put caller ID on the phone. Most calls I just let ring through to the fax. I am sick of lying on someone else's behalf.

Agh I am cranky today. I had a fun weekend but it tired me out.

By the way, you broke the one year mark with your girl. Does that mean its serious?

That would get so old really fast, Atleast you got one off your back for a few days. I wish I could throw my dang phone here out the window. We don't hav caller i.d. here so we have to answer the phone with a polite answer everytime and 90% of the calls in here are the girls I work with personal calls because she doesn't get signal in her office with her cell phone. So it really sucks answering the phone thinking it might be an important call and it is her husband or mom.

You could say that you'd been instructed not to take personal calls unless it was an emergency. Be sure to use the "been instructed" phrase. It works for me and I own my own company.

Gosh darn I have had a busy morning. This better stop! Haha
Oh wait I am at work.

OK, so, interview status report. They basically told me about the company and some basics of the job. There's a mandatory pre-employment drug screening before they even really consider you for a job, so I had to go pee in a cup.

The company makes parts for hot water heaters, so the economy hasn't really effected them any. I would be working on the factory floor, either on the manufacturing or shipping/receiving end of things. It's full time, 8.5 hours a day 5 days a week, with occasional overtime. There's a cash bonus at the beginning of each month if you had perfect attendance for the entire month prior. Employees are eligible for health care after 90 days, and a 401k plan after a year. After 1 year there's 1 week paid vacation, which goes up to 2 weeks after 3 years. All weekends are free, unless you sign up for voluntary overtime on saturdays, as are all national holidays.

I REALLY want this job. More than that, I NEED this job.

I have to admit, one of the major draws is the possibility of working with big machinery and power tools.

Crossing fingers for you hheath :)

Oh heath I am sending you good luck. Loads and loads of it.

Thanks. The results from the drug test should be in within 24 hours. I'll hear back after that.

I like you methods Cats.

Sunny, it is a serious relationship and she might be the one I marry but only time will tell.

Heath, hope you get the Job.

Unky, Hello!

Hello Adam :)

Hheath, I corrected your status on the FB group, I think I messed it up at some point in time :o

How are you doing today Unky?

Hmm... nice day at school.. wait, not completely.

My General Paper (can be called English Paper as well... ) teacher went to China for some weeks, and in the meanwhile, there is another teacher replacing her. Well, she's not a good teacher so to say.

For example: What should the introduction paragraph contain? (After saying that we need a lot of practice, and so on) One on the students said that it should include some definition of the given title, an original way to start the essay, explanation of the topic and so on. Guess what was her reply. "It should introduce the essay! That's simple."

Yeah... that's a definition for "simple essays". It needs to be more detailed at this level.

Another thing, she said she got an A with two body paragraph in French. Oh my! I bet if she now took the exam, she might get zero for the structure of her French essay. I'm almost sure that all my friends dislike her too... I think she'd do better for smaller classes.

She gave us 5 topic titles today, and only 30 minutes to do one of them, while in the exam, you are given 1 h 30 min. And you should see the titles! There was one descriptive and two narrative essays. We never get those types of essays in the A-Level of Cambridge... I guess I have to endure this until my teacher comes back...

Fortunately, she'll be back in some three weeks...

Apart from that, the rest of the say was good :)

Wow Unky, that has to be horrible. Sorry you have to go through it. Maybe you could get together with the other students and you all could report to a principal? Just to get a good teacher for the time being?

My friends are not of that type. My closest friends especially didn't come to school because of this very teacher. Well, there are other factors such as we do maths, physics, library and physical education today. Library and Physical Ed. Are not important, Maths, we are doing revision work, and physics, one can have a good overview of the lesson by merely looking at the notes, so the actual class doesn't become that important.

Then the others are not the type to report teachers. They'll rather not go in class, and wander somewhere in the school playing cards...

Now we have General Paper on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and you'll find out that these are the days that there are the least number of absentees.

Oh, and on a good note, there'll be an activity week next week. Since I'm not involved in any of these activities, I can stay home, doing some work, or be here ;)

Hey Bear, I missed you there again! I swear not doing it on purpose. I fell asleep lol.

No worries bella :)

Hi everyone still here :)


Best of luck heath sending positive vibes your way :)

Well, hopefully things will be good for you Unky. A week from school sounds awesome!

Hey guys, how's every one doing today?

Getting ready to go get my head shrunk.

Hi Bear! Hheath, can I come too? I need a good head shrinking. Or are you talking about a hair cut lol, or losing brain cells. I need my brain cells. I had a major blond moment yesterday.

Hi bella

Getting by :)

Hope your doing well?

Nope, going to talk to my shrink, tell her hose much my month has sucked and that I like the new meds.

Meh, doing.. I'm just doing lol. I'm okay with that. Wrote my bio exam on Friday. Feeling VERY confident with myself. I know that usually means you didn't do good, but I felt awesome with both the multiple choice and the long answer section. I was in the zone that day. And I bought a green stone that Hheath recommended and ate fish like it was going out of style on Thursday. I even had a few drinks Thursday night. I was child free!

Hoses don't suck...

HAHAHAHAH! That was good. LOL

Fingers crossed you did well in your bio exam bella :)

Thanks. How about you,how are you doing?

To everyone who exams, I know you all did well (including you, Heath.) :)

Rest well, Unky.

Thanks Cat! Night Unky.

Thanks. How about you,how are you doing?

How am I? - like you, just doing, just getting through the day :)

Exam wise I'm not as confident about how I did as you are :o

Hi Cat

What exam did you write Bear? I bet you did fine.

I did a concurrent c# and a GUI:design and implementation assignment

And a programming physics and Ai assignment and exam :)

I'm doing a computer games programming course at uni :o

Yowza! Sounds intense! I was like "what is he talking about"?? I bet you did fine.

Debatable :o

Ill find out soon anyhoo :)

How about you, are your results soon?

I just drooled on myself.

I should find out with in a week or so. They send an e mail and we can go down and check it out.

Hheath why are you drooling on yourself?

i just drooled on myself.

I usually only have that effect when in person ;)

Hahah bear, nahh you have it every where you are ;)

Good to know ;)

Sorry to disappoint you, but it was simply my inability to get food into my mouth and then leaving it hanging open while I tried again. I am the epitome of class and grace.

Class and grace are over-rated. ;)

Check out all the threads bella,its gets worse.

I did. I ranted on both of them. Left the rat terrier thread alone as the damage was already done.

Hi Adam! How goes it?

Hey again adam.

I am doing good. Read to get off work. How are you two?

I'm doing good. I've had this brutal headache for the past 3 days now. But other than that I'm doing good. I think I have too much blood in my alcohol stream.

Haha, I love the way you phrase that.

Hi adam
Hi red
Hi bella

Congrats heath :)

Afraid I'm out of gift cards, hheath, but congrats anyway. Your perseverance is an inspiration.

Congrats. Is this the one you interviewed for recently? What color did you wear?

I am so pleased for you heath. I hope you really enjoy the job.

Hi QP, if you don't mind me asking, how come you always seem to be on so late?

My msn isn't working, and when I trouble shoot it says something about key ports? What the heck is that?

Id say it was a problem on msn's end not yours seeing as you can still access the internet, give it a while and try again later :)

Oh Ok. Well thanks! :)

Congrats heath. What outfit did you end up wearing?

I think she is at work KISS.

Well, I'm back from my first day of work. I sat beside a machine that was making plastic tubing. Every half hour, or so, I took measurements to make sure all the settings were still good. I'll be doing the same thing tomorrow. After that, they're going to slowly work through training me on other machines.

This amuses me. Maybe it'll amuse someone else, too.

I have blisters from cutting nipples off tubes. Nipples are metal pieces that are attached to the plastic tubes, and have to be cut off before botched tubes can be scrapped.

It just amuses me that removing nipples gave me blisters.

I know I'm a bit late (damn timezones) But Congrats on the job heath :)
