RE: WHAT CAN MAKE YOU VERY HAPPY ?

What would make me happy would be to go back to last year at this time. Things seemed to be much better then.

RE: Old Member but New to most,

Hey you!! It's been a while! Where have you been hiding?

What would you do?

Too funny!! How much would you owe her for a McDonald's breakfast?? Although she DID keep harping on the fact that my orange juice was so much more expensive!! LMAO!!

What would you do?

Nope, no mountain. I just wanted others' opinions before I did anything. I'd pretty much already decided that the only way to handle this was to pay her. But people should never assume anything, ya know??

What would you do?

HAHA!!! We're oldies, but goodies, girlfriend!

What would you do?

Yep, I know. I've been here for about 1 1/2 years. Thanks!

What would you do?

Actually, I have the day off tomorrow!!

My closest friends & I do an annual "Shop, Shot, & Drop Day". We do a bit of shopping, then have a cosmo, then a bit more shopping, then lunch & another drink, then shopping, then... well, you get the picture!

And by the end of the day, we are ready to DROP!!

What would you do?

Yes, you did. Thanks!

What would you do?

Love it!!!

What would you do?

What would you do?

Hey girlfriend! Finally, someone who knows me!

I was starting to feel like I wasn't in Kansas anymore...

What would you do?

You don't know me, obviously. I'm not uptight. Nice to meet you too!

What would you do?

I'm asking nicely....

What would you do?

Please take this elsewhere

What would you do?

I'm sorry, Solstice... I don't quite agree. Yes, including me was nice. I'll agree with that. But buying me something without even calling or texting to see if I'm interested in having something & then EXPECTING me to pay her for it... that's just assuming... & we both know what that does.

What would you do?

Yes, I did end up eating it... because I felt bad. And yes, I do intend to pay her. But I just think that is so rude on her part, to get me something I never asked for & EXPECT payment for it.

What would you do?

I give gratitude when it's warranted. I'm grateful when someone asks me if I want something, BEFORE requesting payment for something I NEVER ASKED FOR!

What would you do?

Nope, she never tried.

What would you do?

This morning my co-worker came into the office carrying breakfast for everyone from McDonald's. Apparently, she'd called & asked what they wanted, but hadn't called or texted me. However, she did bring me food & a drink. Now she wants me to pay her for it! First off, I really wasn't hungry & had my own drink. While I thought this was a nice gesture, she now expects me to pay her for it!! I mean, I can see if I'd ASKED her to bring me something, but I didn't even know she was doing it & never asked for it! Do you think I should have to pay her for it? If not, how should I approach her about it? After all, we DO have to work together. And she gets quite defensive when confronted. Please help!

RE: Another CS Baby!!!

RE: The Ladies Of CS

RE: Insomnia:

It's still dark here. Something tells me I'm in the wrong place...

RE: Insomnia:

What time is it on that beautiful island, Jeepers? I envy you! We had snow all day yesterday. Wet, sloppy snow. It didn't cover the roads, thank goodness!

RE: Insomnia:

I'm still a bit tired, but I also hate sleeping in. I love getting an early start to my day. I'm always in a much better mood then.

RE: Insomnia:

It's 4:38 am & I'm awake... on a Sunday morning! What's up with that??

RE: last moments with special one...

It's almost 4 years ago (Dec 10th, 2005). We got a call from our step-father, saying it wouldn't be long. Mom had been suffering from emphysema for quite a while, fading in & out of lucidity.

We all went to her room & visited her. It was PAINSTAKING, watching her trying to come out of the semi-vegetative state she was in, stretching & such. We all talked to her, telling her we were here & that we loved her. Each time, she'd stretch as if to tell us she heard us & that she wanted to come out of the coma-like state she was in.

My sister, daughter & I decided to bring my grandson, Owen, into the room. We ran home, picked him up, & drove him to see his great-grandma. We said, "Mom, Owen's here!" On hearing that, she stretched & fell silent. We all left. About 20 minutes after I returned home, my step-father called to say she'd passed. I think she was waiting to say good-bye to each & every one of us, including my sweet Owen.

My poor daughter had just lost her paternal grandmother in September of that year, then to lose her maternal (& closer) grandmother, I felt so bad for her. She cried, "Tell her to come back!!"

Never does a day go by that I don't think of my wonderful mother & how she shaped my life & future. I will always thank her for that. And I miss her tremendously!
