Friday Roll Call
Well, last Friday I lost a wonderful friend.

I have had some problems with my eating due to this but do not really consider it a downer as I view death as one of the great miracles. Our emotions over and our emotions over the koy of that miracle where God moves a human soul to heaven are very complicated.
I ate very close to going to bed last night though and was very uncomfortable. It made me realize how difficult times such as this must be for folks post op.
DW then got news this week that all salaries in her company would be frozen. I guess that is better than learning of hours being cut as Dawn and Christine have experianced.
We are indeed facing tough times ahead but the message that cutting spending only deepens recessions does not seem to come through.
I notice so many of us are in transition or unhappy with our work situations. We likely have been discriminated against and likely will somehow continue to be thought of as obese and discriminated against by many if the know we have been obese. In fact we are technically obese even after we lose weight until we have reached a point below the line and maintained it for a year or two.
Somehow though we must take all of our baggage and move forward. For me as Chritine told AirForceWifey that means God intervenes and overcomes a lot for me while I work as if it all depended on me. Docs offices and insurance companies are so difficult to deal with when a person is healthy. When a person is sick it is pure dee aich eeeee double hockey sticks. I can remember trying to schedule appointments before I was treated for sleep apnea also known as Pickwickian Syndrome. It would be funny if it were not so pathetic. It took me days to make appointments. I would call and be put on hold. Later I would wake up to the message and beeping that you get "please hang up and try again." Usually by then it was after five so no use in calling bac****il the next day and of course it would be late in the day before I was awake enough to make that try again.

So you have been forgiven?
Randy, sorry to hear about your friend.
Nothing going on today, becides the usual.
I am going to the big Dekalb VS Sycamore basketball game tonight.
Huge rivals.
In case you didn't know, the towns of Dekalb and Sycamore are connected to each other. I don't even know the exact location of where Dekalb stops and Sycamore starts. The 2 teams have huge tunouts to all their games. The football games feel like college games. People tailgate before it, they play in the NIU Stadium, Dekalb gets their butt kicked every year.
The basketball turn out is so big that all the people who come to the games couldn't fit into the gym of either school, so they rent out the NIU Convocation center.
It is usually a good time.
Plus as an added perk,,,, I get paid to go.
So I can't pass it up.
Anyway, I am running late. I write later.

Off to work here soon. We are having a Super Bowl lunch party. Unfortunately the Chief invited the village hall people over also because he wants to be "bigger" than they are. They did not ask us over for lunch last Friday when the clerk bought lunch for everyone over there and they also closed the hall down for 1 1/2 hrs! I wonder if they docked their pay all that time also or just the 1/2 hour?? Personally, the others at my work think that the Chief's reasoning will be lost on them, they are all leaches.
Few other things like serving in the green room Saturday at church. We have Kate from Jon and Kate Plus 8 coming to be interviewed at our weekend services. Then Sunday grocery shopping for what little we get and I bought some fabric yesterday to sew a fleece vest.

Hello everyone
Thank goodness its Friday!!!! I need a break from these corporate jerks. They are just a thorn in my butt. Everything else is going well in my life. my daughter is doing well and I lost 2 pounds!!! My friend bought a car last week and she got a great deal. The car dealership made an error in advertising the price the flyer said $10,600 and it should have said $16, 000. So they honored the $10, 600 price!!!!
Randy- I'm very sorry about your friend. I know what you mean about mixed emotions. You know they will be in Heaven, but your still sad they are no longer with us.
Christine- That's so neat. I watch Jon & Kate all of the time. I'm hooked. Sometimes I think she is a little mean too Jon though.
Well Have a wonderful Friday.

Good Morning Randy and Illinois Friends:
Randy, I am so sorry that life has you down right now. It is tough to lose a friend. Makes it difficult to understand why.
Dave, do you ever slow down????
Christine, hope your Super Bowl party is fun!
My thoughts are with Carla. Hope she is getting stronger every day.
We were slow yesterday so I volunteered to take the day off! The did not have to twist my arm.
Besides, I wanted to come home and watch the Impeachment proceedings on TV. Cou.d not believe how delusional our former govenor was during and after all of this! He really does not "get" it! 
Just glad it is over and he is out!
It is Friday! That means after work today, we have 2 days of fun and relaxation! Yipee!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Randy and the rest of my Il family
Randy, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I know how hard it is to lose people close, it stinks. It does make it somewhat easier to think of them in Heaven with our Lord and feeling great again! You are in my thoughts.
As for me today, well Tyler is home sick, nothing horrible, but as fast as this went to his lungs last time, we're not taking any chances. I told him that he's staying home to rest and take it easy. This evening my neice and her hubby are dropping off their 3 kids for me to babysit so they can go to dinner and see Twilight. I LOVE spending time with her and her family, so I am very excited. I already told Tyler that he would be banned to his game room most of the time! lol Gwen is 1 1/2, Elliott is 3 and Dylan is 10. I will try to remember to get some pictures if I can.
That's it for me, other than homework again...I'm on chapter 3 in Math already. I got my grade for my research paper and got a 89 on it. SOOO close to an A, but that's okay, I'll take the high B! lol
Have a wonderful, warm and safe day today!
Monica
Good morning Randy and Illinois!
Randy, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I lost a very good friend i***** I miss her a lot. I know she is in a much better place and no longer in pain, but it doesn't take away the pain of loss. Remember the good times that the two of you shared and you will always have that friend close in your heart.
Not much on the agenda today....got to get ready for the superbowl game on Sunday.
I'm hoping Carla is getting stronger each day and is well on her way to recovery. Hurry home Carla. I'm sending healing prayers your way.
Hope you all have a great day today! May your sorrows be few and your happiness grow large.
