Happy anniversary on the job, SMM! Some people just don’t understand us cat people. I was so mad that I couldn’t take the day off when Jiggs was so sick, I even got some additude when I asked to leave early to take him to the vet. I didn’t get quality time with him. Sure, I gave him tons of attention the previous week because it was Christmas break, but January 3, I rushed home, scooped him up in “our” favorite afghan (hubby put him on my spot on the couch that was in front of the woodburner), and off we went to the vet, when we had to make the decision. I’m so happy that hubby was home, though, so the fella wasn’t alone. Also, hubby offered to drive, so I could hold him instead of putting him in the carrier; I was so thankful for that.

“Blowing in the Wind” – that’s the other P P & M song that I heard this morning. (couldn’t think of the title all morning) Paul was so cool to hear on the air this morning, and only 1 town over from where I work! He’s clearly still in the 60’s, but in a good way. Expressions such as “thank you for having me here this morning, my brother”, etc. The version of Puff with his daughter was beautiful, she has an amazing voice.

Back from the interview, got offered the job, so I hung my license with them. Now up to me to generate business… come Jan. 1 I’ll be a buzy bee!! But income is income, so I’ll do what I have to do…. catching up…. Hi CM, JL, LK, KC, WWM, Joan (Give Leela hugs… and a hang in there)… congrats SMM on the 1 yrs. job… and anyone else out there, hope your days are going well. Warm here today, but cold front coming tomorrow.

… makes note not to play “Puff the magic dragon” when WWM is around…. that can be a head sticker!! LOL

Congrats on the job, AV! Shall I start stockpiling our product? (Eeeewww, where am I going to store it?!)

JD, it’s lunchtime somewhere, so go for it! We are having chinese leftovers tonight; it survives in the fridge just so long till it starts getting weird…

Afternoon all! CM if you get chinese make sure to tell them No MSG. SMM, congrats on a year at the job. Just hang in there and see what happens.

Going back to an earlier part of the thread, I can’t listen to “I’ll be home for Christmas” without crying. We had to sing it in Chorus this year and concentrating on the music kept me from bawling, but I know that the next time I hear it, I’ll be crying again. I can’t help but thinking about all the young men and women who serve in the armed forces who are seperated from their families at the holidays. Ok must think of another song so that I don’t make my mascara run!

LOL!! JL & Joan – yes, we need to stockpile our “bear be gone”, and work out that “scoope away” litter genie!!! Cuddles and Abby have been doing their best to contribute!!! LOL

You know, I love to make Chineese food — it’s so yummy, and not hard at all. I love noodels with peanut sesame sauce – and you can add any meat – chicken, pork, ….. ok guys are making me hungary!

Joan, when we did our home renovation on our big house 10 yrs ago, we lived in what I loving recall as the “dirt pit” for almost a year. We tore half the house up for renovation (lived in the other half), then switched – tore the other half up and moved over to the first half… then finally put the two finished pieces together. At one point my kitchen & washer/dryer was hooked up in my garage because I refused to eat out for six months!! LOL It was definitely an adventure, but we loved it so much when it was done, it was worth it…. though I swore I’d rather have my toenails pulled out rather than live thru that again!! LOL

….. I’m humming the tune for the jingle for the kitty depends…. instead of superman…… little dragons on them

sings…… Poop, the Magic Dragon……

For you cute kitty…..

Just slip them on, and oh my my,

they hold a lot of pee …..

Ducks when WMM comes bye….. hopes she didn’t hear the tune…. it gets stuck in her head

LOL

Congratulations, AV!!! Now duck cuz here come some dragon poo!!!! What will you be doing? And have you told your employers about your necessary TDK time? I would recommend putting that into your employees benefit package.

Aaahum… (quietly tunes up with a few screeches)

“Oh stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.

He never drank water, he always drank wine.

His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold.

And the worth of his saddle has never been told.

Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and stewball was there

But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare.

And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all,

Came a-prancin and a-dancin my noble stewball.

I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay

If Id have bet on ol stewball, Id be a free man today.

Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans.

Im a poor boy in trouble, Im a long way from home.

Oh stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine.

He never drank water,he always drank wine.

You know, Stewball was one smart horse…..

… frantically searches for something to use as a shield…..grabs a large pot lid and a wire strainer with a handle (if she can throw, I can catch and “return”) LOL

She may be right about the horse thing……looks into cookie jar to see if there’s any money to bet with…..

Actually, TDK time will suffer, however, since I’ll work from home at with my own computer and at my own pace….. they’ll never know….

…does WMM think me so stupid that I would not calculate my TDK time in any job consideration???!!!????
