Night Shift 9/15

Thanks for the encouragement on the job, everybody. I’m really excited about this one! However, I hate getting my hopes up, just to be dashed. Oh, well, must be optimistic.

Hope everyone is having a good evening.

KW, Wait!!! * runs up to KW as she is setting the table with plate in right hand, utensils in the left and napkin neatly tucked into her shirt, may I be a guest for dinner, too? Bow’s head and looks up with puppy dog eyes in hope of enjoying hubby’s cooking, too!!*

MM, love food network too. I agree, I don’t always like alot of what they cook. I love to cook, but in no way am I a fancy cook. I was raised on fairly basic foods and these days, it’s about all my stomach will tolerate. But have learned alot over the years and have used their recipes from time to time. Hugs and purrs.

Wow Lynn…I did the same thing. We built the control boxes that run the intersection lights. Traffic control devices also for hospitals & fire & police that allowed them to change the lights when there were emergencies & they had to get thru them. We built some boxes for wind mills also. Could you tell Kay for me that I think that’s cool. As good as I was in that field,It had no Union security,nothing to retire on so I had to move on to other things. I loved that kind of work,kept the hands busy.

OOPS…I just looked at the clock cus the fuzzy’s were making a racket…I better go feed them. Ya’ll take care

Bumblebee, I wouldn’t be surprised that you would have dreamt of me. I have had that and other strange things happen to me as well. However, your description sounds good, but I have red hair and brown eyes! Never even thought of being blond! Sometimes when we connect with people, I believe that we can somehow cross to their area to send comfort and see them. That may have been where you were. Thanks for visiting! Hugs and Purrs, Lynn

Whew! We’ve got some pretty educated and high tech people here, don’t we?

It’s nice to be able to talk to such a variety of people. I wish I had finished college, but I was young and stupid and wanted to get married (actually, wanted to get out of the house and my parent’s jurisdiction). Not a wise decision, but no one could tell me that at 19 years old-I knew everything.

Bumblebee-maybe if we get enough donations in the TDK fund, we could allocate some money to something like that. First, though we will address needs of the TDK members. Terri made the suggestion to the TDK fund committee that we might made a donation to the Burke Co. Animal Shelter (Chester/Jerry’s Fund) once or twice a year if we have the funds. Since we will have a non-profit status, we will want to use it, not just keep it in the bank.

Max and Mollys Mom, we’re not high tech and overly educated! Kay and I only completed high school. I went to school and business was my major. Mom said all nice girls work in an office. I wanted shop, not home ec!! Girls weren’t allowed back then in shop, so learned how to cook, sewing was a disaster. Found out that I couldn’t play on the football team either! Dad and I went round for round on that one!! So was very good at accounting, did that for a while, got married, had kids, didn’t work. When I got divorced, electronics was a booming thing around here, so got work in that area. Hated being on the line, I don’t sit still very well. Like to be physical. Went and became flag girl in construction, not a good thing. No bathroom facilities, got very sick. Quit that, went back to electronics. Got hired back at Deltron again, in the stock room. Loved it. Worked up to group leader and receiving and thats what I do now, well, shipping a receiving for another company. Like to be busy and moving. So you see, we aren’t high tech, just older. You didn’t need college back then. Now even though we are older, not having college degree will really hurt you here. But so far so good! Hugs and Purrs

Lynn,

Sounds like you were a tom boy like me. My daughter was too. I hated “sissy girls” that were afraid to touch a worm for example. I would beat up boys with my long handled pocketbook in 6th grade, spinning it around over my head, and whacking them! Boy, was that fun! I was also best of friends with a few nice boys, played basketball with them, etc. Had nothing to do with the girly girls…. Would share my new colored pencils with Gifford for map work ~ my favoite! Always enjoyed playing with the boys outside.

Lynn,

Do you get wasps in your exaust vent over the stove? I get a nest in there each year. When I put the fan or light on over the stove (try NOT to) There are wasps flying around my house. What a pain.

Lynn-Guess it isn’t the education so much as the street-smarts and experience. I’m one of the “older” ones, too. Which makes it hard to get a job because they’ll think you will be retiring to collect social security. However, being a “baby-boomer”, I can’t start collecting full social security until I’m 66. Any sooner, and it’s a reduced amount. But I could do it and still keep on working. I don’t know what I’d do if I retired. About the only thing I like to do is play golf and read, and with my back problems now, I’m limited to the reading. And tv, and talking with you guys here at TDK~~now that’s not so bad…..
