Gem in answer to your question I feel beat all to hell!! It is hard to resume a full schedule, especially when your work is so physical. I can tell that I was sick and missed 10 full days of work!! But the income makes me very happy... hhhmm, now where is my shot of all of my loot laying on my berber carpet???? Ohh,, I bet it is with all of my toe shots..... darn...
all kididng aside I do actually have a picture of my toes,,, it was on a dive trip and I got a pedi right before the trip and had dive flags painted on my big toes... it was a big hit for the dive group, everyone took shots of them,,,LOL

Holy Cow. I "just" (over the last couple of days) read through every single page of this thread. What a Journey! It's been like a good novel... Tales of lies and deception. Downright scary googling/people tracking skills. Car Chases, sick pets who are well again, and poor Gem's on-again-off-again jobs!
I was sad to find out that Skillet never got his free Mini and now I'll be wary of anybody named Sandy. Especially if they boast about cars owned or proximity to John Travolta.
I finally have to go to bed tonight (I stayed up late to get through the final push to page 132) but Hello everybody! And I'm sure I'll be back in the Morning.

Yup, good kids except when trying to wake em up for school... then they're demon spawn. I swear they're abducted by space aliens during the night, and MY kids aren't brought back until later. Hmmmm...
(Whatcha think, add a bit of Sci-Fi to this thread?!)
OK, Funky broken blaze (I think is actually called an interrupted blaze, we always referred to it as upside down exclamation mark) is a 6 yr old belgian/qh cross. He came here as a 4 month old, he's a PMU foal from Alberta, and was destined for the slaughter house and someone's dinner plate. Most of my horses were going to be steak... It was the only way I could get back into horses, buy 'em cheap as foals and start 'em myself (with the help of some friends).
No preggo piggies- all ladies are spayed, all gentlemen are neutered. (or as we tell 'em, they got Tutored). They're just, uh, healthy... yeah, that's it!

I am totally stunned. I cannot believe how unprofessional the work environment has become. Maybe I am just isolated and with 14 Unions we simply cannot (and would not) even think of doing the things that have happened to you. I don't care if at the moment firms are considering this to be an employers' market. Don't they understand that their behavior sets the tone for employee behavior? I just hope they are not surprised when the tables are turned and employees treat them like .......
Time for another favorite saying -
The courage of conviction,
the strength to persevere,
the hope that survives disappointment -
these are the keys to success.
Hang in there, not all employers are like what you have had the unfortunate luck to run into. It may not seem like it at the moment but the right job is out there, it really is.

Good morning everybody and thanks for the Welcomes.
Yes, 'ola, I'm definitely glad I missed the feet pictures. And I was glad I was able to read your whole chase story in one sitting. I couldn't imagine waiting days to hear the ending of that!
And Will, I'm always amazed how small the world is. Like most people from Indiana, I had always hoped to escape. I'm originally from Northern Indiana and this is as far south as I've gotten. It's nice to see some people do make it further.

Oh sweetie, PLEASE don't put all of them in your clubbie just to get a pic. That would be ....well...Hilarious, actually, but a PITA to clean up when you're done!

His name is Reilly. He's somewhere between 12 and 14 and he's very patient and adorable and... he's my partner in crime.
Here's a pic of me. I got bored and was playing with photo booth when I took it. My hair's a mess in this shot... *cringe*

Personally I like broken blaze better than interrupted,,
but I do love him, does he have a name? Does he trail ride? How many hands?

I scare myself every morning when I look in the mirror! Now, where's one with you in a MINI!
Made me laugh. BTW- I LOVE your "WELCOME" with the pop out smiley faces.
