Whilst waiting for a delivery.

Thanks Jim. If it is the heating element well I was thinking of getting a smaller cooker anyway. The oven rarely gets used anyway unless my son's in the mood for making cakes or I just feel like cooking chicken or something else in there.

Whilst waiting for a delivery.

Yes I hate that when it happens but still that's life. Still it's lucky we don't use the oven that often. In this house it's either stuff we cook on the hob or microwave. I am actually thinking of getting a smaller cooker. I've had the cooker 6 years now and that was the first problem I've had with it.

RE: Depressing

To be quite honest I think that compared to other sites this is one of the best. With some of the other sites they try matching you up to guys they think you will like based on what you put in your profile. For some this works, for others it doesn't. We're all individuals at the end of the day and different things work for different people. As others have said don't give up, you will meet the right guy one day----when you least expect to. Have a good day.

RE: My Brother is in Hospital

Sorry to hear about your brother Virgo. As Parti says you can't help someone who won't help themselves.

RE: If i can turn back Time

I hope your treatment goes well terbear. I tried smoking one cigarette as a teenager, I didn't even finish it because I didn't like it. I don't smoke because of that experience. Both my children have tried it and like me didn't like it, so they don't smoke either. Take care.

RE: PERFUME

Because of my job I can't wear it on my finger nails. It was my paternal grandmother who introduced me to lavender perfume. The rose perfume I tried it out in body spray form first, liked it and went on to buy the perfume.

RE: Todays buzz

Good photo Jim. This is a bee. On that butterfly walk I mentioned in another blog of yours we came across some of these bees and the Park Warden pointed them out to us. I used to be terrified of them but I've overcome my fear of them. I am cautious of the wasps like the one in your other photo though because a few years ago one somehow found it's way into my bed and stung me on my big toe during the night when I turned over. Anyway I'm on close tonight, I finish at 2 am tomorrow so I wish you all a good evening.

RE: It really GET MY GOAT WHEN . . . . .

The scenery in that picture is beautiful. One thing annoyed me today---getting a message in my inbox telling me to reply to the message straight away. I sent a message back saying I only take orders from my employers. Another thing is rudeness.

RE: It really GET MY GOAT WHEN . . . . .

It does when I'm tired but when I'm not I just ignore it. One of the managers forgot about not coming up behind me last week and made me jump, he nearly got hit with a tray I was wiping at the time----I think he's learned his lesson. Still that's life. It's things that annoy us that keeps us on our toes and makes life interesting. If life was perfect we'd be perfectly bored.

RE: It really GET MY GOAT WHEN . . . . .

When I'm doing a trash walk at work and somebody throws their rubbish out of the car window when their car is parked right next to a bin. People thinking that because I'm deaf I'm also stupid and as my managers have found out over time I hate people coming up from behind me because I simply can't hear them.

RE: Monday

Good morning Amy. You have a good week as well.

RE: Reading blogs..whew! good one

I like reading the blogs as well. When I read them depends on my shifts at work. When this weeks schedule was put up I only had 3 days worth of work, now the children are back at school the hours are being cut. Yesterday the scheduling manager came up to me and asked if I would mind doing a close on Tuesday because the lady originally scheduled had other commitments. I said I'd do the close. At times like these unless I have other commitments myself I never turn down extra shifts. Have a good day everyone.

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO!!!

Happy birthday Virgo. I hope you've had a lovely day.

RE: why do people do what they do

Sorry to hear about your loss. Is there anyone you can confide in, an organization in your area that specializes in grief counselling, that could help you or friends?

RE: NOW IS PRESENT

I got called into work last night and finished work at 2 a.m this morning. I walked home and thoroughly enjoyed that walk. It was so peaceful. Clouds in the sky and the moon shone brightly through them. I even had the good fortune to see a fox. It's moments like that walk home I love. I take each day as it comes and enjoy it. My goal---just to be happy and enjoy life no matter what it brings. Have a good afternoon goodluck.

RE: Looking for me?

Good one.

RE: Met a guy......

It can be nerve racking meeting someone for the first time but when the time comes it's not as bad as we think. I've experienced it in the past and gone anyway and it was never as bad as I imagined it would be. At the end of the day the person you are meeting will have the same feelings of being nervous about meeting you. It's natural. I wish you luck and happiness. Please do keep us up dated.

RE: "I'LL PRAY FOR THEM LATER"

Thanks for sharing. Stories like this I love. I read books on angels and in the books I read there are similar stories to this one.

RE: I have really good news for you !

Good blog Jim and a cute photo. I believe in enjoying life. The weather is getting cooler here now. Time to get the coats out and put away the summer jackets. During my early morning walks to work I've seen a couple of foxes, they stood and looked at me briefly then ran. Have a good day.

RE: what really hurts

xjenn I agree with maryrachelle. I saw a counsellor when I was depressed. She gave me the tools to help myself and I haven't looked back. At that time in my life I couldn't talk to family or friends and felt alone. This counsellor sat and listened and didn't judge. She gave me feed back when I saw her as to how she thought I was progressing. When I first saw her I wore dark clothes but as time went on my choice of clothes became brighter. She pointed out to me that I had a habit of wearing dark clothes when I felt low, something I hadn't noticed but she was right. I saw her for 8 months and haven't seen a counsellor since. As maryrachelle says these people give you the tools to help yourself and this lady gave me the tools I needed. Yes the answer lies within you but sometimes people like counsellors and other health care professionals can help us by giving us the tools we need to find the answers.

RE: what do you see......

Good post cytrynka. I like what I see. It took me a long time to get to the stage of liking what I see in the mirror but I got there in the end and a lot of it has come from learning to accept compliments something that I found hard to do. When I'm complimented now I smile and thank the person. Before I found it hard to accept compliments as I was raised to believe it was vain to think highly of yourself and accept compliments. Have a good evening.

RE: Ha..Ha..Ha..

From what I've read of your comments on peoples blogs they've been nice comments. You're a nice lady. Have a good evening.

RE: Just for laughs

I've heard the original version on a psychic site I belong to a few times. The other versions are hilarious. Great blog.

RE: Do stars reveal soulmates?

The only advice I can offer is go with what feels right for you. It depends on your own personal beliefs. If you believe it and it feels right go for it. Have fun.

RE: I'm leaving and want to say good bye :)

All the best for the future. And please do come back at some point if only to let us know how you are getting on.

One of Those days

It has been a better day today. The girl didn't show up again today so my colleague and I both ended up with overtime plus they had a new starter who got upset when a customer shouted at her for making a mistake. The manager put her on dining area to help us out and she seemed happier there. This particular manager is fun to work with and if we do a good job he always thanks us at the end of the shift. Not every manager does that. Today I got a thank you and he kissed my hand in a gentlemanly way. Parti you're right at least the cats didn't do what the kids did in Jim's tablecloth blog. You should have seen the size of the spider though, bigger than any I've seen this year. It's still in the bedroom somewhere. When I saw it it was high up on one of the walls where I couldn't reach it to get it out. Still got to laugh about yesterday if only because laughing is better than crying and I like a good laugh.

One of Those days

I've woken up in a really positive mood. Everybody has off days. I think it's better just go with the flow and not let them get to me. Just one of those things. Looking back a couple of good things did happen, one manager commented on my friendliness and a customer complimented me on my hard work. So it wasn't all off just most off it. It will be a good day today.

RE: Oops

Good one Jim. I hope the little boy was ok.

RE: All input accepted

Any time sands. Enjoy yourself and as Bsooner said let us know how you got on. Unless you go you won't know if the pair of you are going to get on in real life or not. Have a good day.

RE: All input accepted

sands one of my managers is Latvian, I actually looked after her cat a few months ago whilst she went to visit her family in Latvia. She is a nice lady who speaks good English and her time keeping for her shifts is good. We're all human no matter what country we come from, your lady friend will be no different to any one else. Just go and enjoy yourself and don't let one jealous woman stop you from enjoying this lady's company.
