Whats NEW Sunday edition!
Good Sunday morning to you Debbie and my other lovelies and most handsome brothers. You all do a sister proud!
I have to post and then get ready for church. I have to leave just a tab bit early since I am greeter today. It wouldn't do for the greeter to be there after the other folks come I don't guess.
It is the dinner for our old Pastor this afternoon after the service. I am not sure if he is coming for the service or if he is coming later. I have a card and a monetary collection to give him during announcements if he is there. If he isn't then he gets it at the dinner I guess.
I spent time with Bill's cousin yesterday and she brought up the argument that I had with her daughter who is the complex manager. The one that happened at least a couple of months ago. I posted about that and it was about the bathtub faucet leaking. I had left her a message and she called me and told me not to leave a "nasty" message again. I told her that I wanted the faucet fixed and I didn't think it was right that I had to wait for months to have it done. We went on and on and finally I told her that this conversation was upsetting me and I was ending it. I told her that she didn't have to worry that I would never call again and then I said good bye (so she couldn't say that I hung up on her) and I hung up. I did call the owners of the complex down in Indianapolis. I got the machine of her boss and left a message. I told him that I lived here and that I was very upset and could he please call me back. He never did. I let it go because the next morning they were here to fix it, even tho it started dripping again the next few days. Well, her mother told me that her boss called her and found out what was going on and then they laughed about it. Yesterday she told me that DD had gotten into trouble and she called mom and told her that she "forbid" her to have anything to do with me. Mom told her that no one forbid her to do anything and she wasn't going to tell her who she could hang around with. DD told her that she didn't like me and mom told her that was her problem. I thought to myself that this old girl takes her mom to the doctor, shopping and other appointments. It sure isn't DD. Mom told me that she had gotten into trouble. I said that she is the one that told me that they laughed about it and that was at least a couple of months ago. I told her again that I never talked to anyone in Indy and so he couldn't know what happened. At least not by me. I am beginning to think that mom is a sh*t stirrer and wants to keep it going. I know that someone is not telling the truth somewhere. I told mom that if Indy called and complained to her and she got in trouble that it seems like someone else called them. Then maybe DD should evaluate what is happening. There are people moving out of here because of her attitude. She is not professional at all. She speaks terrible to the residents and bullies the seniors too. I feel sorry for them the most. The take it out of fear. I know that she doesn't like me because I had the "nerve" to stand up to her. She wants to bully and have her own way. Not with this old girl. What is all of your opinion on this?
I guess I went on long enough. I better get going since it takes a while to get me presentable. I am sending love and hugs to all with prayers going up for everyone. Special ones are going up for those in need of them. Which in times like this is pretty much all of us. Keep smiles on your faces and stay warm.

Good morning Debbie and everybody. I actually have time to write today. I usually read most of the current posts. By the time I get on and read, it is too late to answer or respond and I figure nobody will see what I wrote.
Brenda, your person sounds like she is related to my co-worker. Yes, everybody, she is at it again. She laid off me for a couple months and now she is at it again. After a few of her emails at work, part of it work related and part of it her opinions of what I should do and not do (remember she is not my boss), In one email she told me not to get my panties in a bunch (real professional, don't you think) I emailed her back and told her to please quit emailing me, that I had work I needed to do, and obviously she didn't have any work to do. Then she emailed me back and said whatever, you're not worth my time. I cc'd all my responses to our boss and guess what , Now I am in trouble because of her smart aleck emails. Actually, we are both in trouble. But that is the problem, they don't have enough guts to just get after her, so that make the other person suffer the consequences. Mind you, for the past year I have asked them over and over to make her leave me alone. And their answer was to put a divider wall between us. Which has helped in some ways, (I don't have to look at her ugly face and watch her play solitaire and play on the computer all day) Which they know she does this and they do nothing about it.. Well, the day after we got in trouble, she didn't show up to work, but she did show up long enough to talk to the human resource director. The human resource director is brand new, had just been here a week, so she does not know what a trouble maker she is. Luckily, the old human resource is still around but doing a different job, so hopefully she will fill her in.
But it is scaring me because I am wondering what she is up to. Can you tell, I am stressed over this?
Sorry, to go on and on.
We have church this morning and then this afternoon we will go watch our grandson play basketball. They won their first game last week. Hope they do the same this week.
Well, better get going and get ready for church.
Take care,
Mickey

Okay, I'm posting this sonofagun and glad togoforit!!!
As you know, I had my plastics Thursday a week ago. Candy got me through that transition stage from home from the hospital to managing without fear of splitting open and my guts falling on the floor....:)
Wellll..... Candy, you met Capt Dave at $4, the incredible Capt Dave who has just asked Jackie to marry him. Last night was the engagement party at the mini-McMansion. Other than his best friend there, all were from $4. It was an incredible upscale $4 crowd. You remember, I see these people in sweats and dirty T-shirts, sans the girlfriends and wives.... last night, almost all the women were in their little black dresses.... let me re-emphasize...LITTLE black dresses.... I dug a really cute LONG dress and DRESSY dress out of my closet and put on my long slip and hung those 'd-mnd' drains to the bottom of my slip, cinched myself in with that horrible binder and padded my incisions with Kotex, put in knee hi's, and my heels and by golly, I WENT. Kathy and Mark came to get me.
It was awesome. I was home by 9...we're such a partyin' crowd, and I've now slept almost 12 hours. Didn't take me long to shed the clothes and get on the 4X gown again.
And those of you who know Joe.....you'll appreciate this although I'm not sure he did...... when they went to take pictures, he stepped into stand beside me.... and had my around his back...well, about the time Larry was to push the little button, I moved my hand...yep...on his butt..... the picture is priceless.....
EVERYONE came up to me astounded that I was there #1, but #2, that I looked so THIN......and totally amazed that I had done what I did...... no secrets at MY $4. ALL the girlfriends and wives knew who I was....:)
I'm getting dressed. I'm losing $4 time.
Hugs...will report more for the day..but I'm tired.

morning! it's still sunday morning so i can say that!
we had a very very long productive day yesterday- left here at 6 am - waited til almost 930 for our food boxes- and thank God for the boxes- there are some frozen meats (some of which i am not sure the type? maybe ham???) and many breads and cookies but michael eats them and the breads will make good turkey stuffing if we don't use for anything else! potatoes and some cabbages and a beautiful squash, gatorades and some other stuff...so it wa so worth it and the people were wonderful....not a lot of wls friendly stuff but wonderful- a gift from God....and the NW OHio food bank.
i guess i need to clear up something form my post yesterday--thank you all for your replies.....i know pride can get in the way- i am a proud woman and i do work hard-( even if i joke and complain about it!!!) however; i am not too proud to take help --not now--i have been on the giving side enough to know how it feels - i just had hoped to never be on the receiving end again like this--the whole concept of what is going on is so frightening---we were #53 yesterday when we got our number at 7am for an 8 am food drive....what does that tell you? and there were many many behind us..... i guess what does upset me is that i am uninsured and i make too much money at my near min wage job to get state help with food or insurance...however--i cannot in good faith sit home and not work in order to get the help ....we make too much for energy assitance etc... eileen- i have heard of angel food ministry and checked out their website- awesome stuff but- preorder/ prepay this month is impossible--the food we got yesterday will tide us over til next month's order period where i hope to be in a better position--then the drive to pick up is another issue- no local churches participate...not complaining here ...we are struggling and the vet bills put us under again--i worked very hard for a few months to get us out of overdraft and the bird vet bills put us right back there...and it is going to be another few weeks or month to get back out f it--and that is scary---to not have any cushion and at our ages.....
now--reason basically that i even talked about this yesterday or today is that there are a few on this board who make some comments-i wrongly used the word judgement yesterday-however - the comments made in past are hurtful---i am not the only one who has felt the brunt of some of these and they are limited to only a few folk who probly didn't mean them to hurt--but i am the only who is speaking up.....is it marti's signature that says to be careful -we don't know about teh other person's shoes?? i know i butchered that but you get the idea!!!! we all have struggles- whether they are financial or emotional or jobs or family or weight issues or whatever- we all are feeling the pinches of the recent economy and the gas and food prices and all...and we all need to tighten our own respective belts... and we all are working hard at keeping our heads above water--some of us do some things that may seem extravagant to others --however--they maybe do not realize at what price we do these things--how many jobs or odd things we do to finance our travels or our pets or whatever-- i guess i just wanted the world of OFF to know that humanity is happening here......and this business yesterday is how i am dealing with part of it in my own lil world-and if i maybe get moody -that could be why...if i get angry-as i am known to do--that may be why....i was not brought up dirt poor and i do not intend to die that way- however beiung there right now absolutely positively sucks big time!!!!!!!!!! i have read the Secret and i believe however-things are not happening !!! today i can count my blessings of my OFF family as well as my children and grands and michael's family and some very special folks...
ok- changing the subject-
after the food thing i did my plasma got gas at $1.79 and we rushed home to put the dogs out-unloaded the car and put the frozen food away and then immediately back into the car --drove 50 miles to get special food for chico- still handfeeding him--got a good price -a special favor --and then drove to my daughters--it was all in a somewhat logisitical flight plan...so-my daughter is hostessing a jewelry party--the last thing i need righnt now is jewelry- i don't wear what i have tho i did see three items i would have bought had money not been an object! anyhow--the company was good!!! my garnddaughter amber and her mom were there, my ex's wife and her mom -we get along well- and two friend sof my daighters from her work and one's daughter...good talk and girl time--then we had dinner together after the guests left and we made our plans for our Christmas , jamie had the wood stoive going and while the men talked football, i sat with my granddaughter and knitted her sisters hat and it was nice--except we had to drive home! it was nice-
edit to add this:at my daughter's yesterday...my granddaughter's mommy asked me some serious questions about lap band and rny etc--she had visited obesityhelp a few years back but hasn't lately- i suggestedshe get self back to the main site- lap band forum and look around a bit!! she probly has apnea-i am sure she does but i am not a doctor nor do i play one on tv..(wish i did- they make money!!)--she doesn't know what she weighs and she is miserable- she knows she needs to do something!
so while all this was going on my daughter was listening intently as well...
hmmmmmmmmmmm
just had to share...so many families are impacted by obesity at so many levels....my daughter and son are both good candidates for wls as is the"DIL"
got home after 9 and roxie was not tied as she had been left- she was sleeping on teh couch in the basement-brody was in his crate-both were excite dto see us home and play and bedtime was about 1030--heaven!

Margo - my heart goes out to you... it brings tears to my eyes when I read about the struggles that others are having right now. I am fortunate - I am in the healthcare field and there is one thing that won't change - people need healthcare.... or as we sometimes say at the ER - "you can't cure stupid" LOL - the problem is that there are so many without insurance and they can't pay the doctor - even buy OTC meds - like the women who come in with cootie rot - they can't buy monistat at Walmart !
And I see you as a hard worker and proud. I know that it must be have been hard to get in the food line, but at least there was a line to get in.....
Take care and I pray things get better before worse....

thank you!
