Sleepless in my car in a rest area in Elkin North Carolina!!!

You WOULD be opening a can of worms if you said yes.  Then everyone would feel they had the RIGHT to borrow them.......and you'd be chasing them down all over the place.  NO WAY JOSE!!

Thankyou Mary!!! That is exactly what I thought!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSS

Judy, you did the right thing!

For -

1) you are so on target about not opening a can of worms! If you do for one you will have to do for all.

2) this is the weekend and you are off. Off means OFF!

3) most ADULTS plan their cook-outs/picnics, etc. in advance & if they know they are going to be short on something ask a guest to bring that item. Granted, your tenants act like children, but allow this to be a 'teaching' moment. Let word get around you WON"T be bothered on your time off. Let THEM learn to plan ahead!

Really, will your boss reprimand or fire you for not giving them access to the table & chairs? More likely you'd be held responsible if they got damaged or stolen!

What if you were away? They would have found another way...another person to bother!

Your job just reminds me so much of mine when I managed the shelter. Clients were savvy enough to find a way to get my unlisted home phone number, but not savvy enough to take care of their own business! I got a reputation for being tough, but it served me well in the long run. My first couple years I tried to please everyone at my own expense. That comes with a price.

Take care of Judy FIRST!

Kathy...IF I was not home...I can bet my bottom dollar they would have HELPED themselves to what they needed!!!

HUGSSSSSS

It's me again.  Have to show y'all the valance I made today.  I love it!  Really, I think it turned out just as cute as anything I could have ordered.  I LOVE the beaded fringe!  So sparkly!  Tomorrow I will tackle the next valance.  It's even bigger than this one.  One thing this house has is huge windows!  

Oh, and you can see one of my new place mats on the table.  Only 7 more of those to go!  LOL!  Good thing those are easy.

Vickie, I hope you follow up on the idea of making things to sell on-line.  You are so talented! 

Cindy P.

Vic these are SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! even more so here than FB!!! Can see them much better here!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you should go into SEWING for PROFIT!!!!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSS

These are just GORGEOUS.  I love the little "bling" of the crystals - these are so much prettier than anything you'd be able to buy.  You're so talented! 

Good evening ladies, the prodigal OFF is back.  Again! 

I've been embarrassed to return as I have been away so long.   so miss you all!  will you all forgive me?  I've seen some of you on Facebook, and I've missed you all.  I can see we have some new sistas around these days too. 

Things have been busy, with work and our little cottage, and I've fallen out of touch.  I've done pretty well with my program but I am more focused when I come here to OH and OFF and stay connected.  so I am really going to try to make time for you, and for myself too.  

Much love to you all - 

Christine

Hi Christine!

Have really missed you, but with a FT job, family and the new cottage figured you were enjoying your summer. I think most of us tend to be more busy in the summer!

Please don't be embarrassed! Glad to hear you're doing well on your program. I know I need to be here as often as possible or I also lose focus...and support.

Love ya!
