Hi Shatema!!

Well, i think I am caught up for the day!!!! Better not say that too loud!!!

Heather SHUSH!!!!!! That's like saying "MacBeth" in the theater or like saying, "It's dead," at McD's!!!!!

Little story....when I was working the opening shift at McD's a year or so ago, we were DEAD at 12:15. Middle of the lunch hour, and we were dead. (Lunch is usually our busiest time of the day.) The manager stood at the end of front line, waved her arms around, and said, "Where IS everybody? Where's all the people? We are SO DEAD!!!!"

And 15 minutes later we got TWO, count 'em, TWO buses full to overflowing. Standing room only in the lobby. I looked at the manager and said something to the tune of, "This is all YOUR FAULT!"

And I tell that story to every new hire who dares to say the word "dead" or "slow" in reference to business.

I remember those days!!

It is really cold in my building!!

hello ladies how are you all today

I moved my desk top around. I can't move my desk as it is attached to the wall but I can move all the junk on it around. I really want to do something with the rat nest of cords behind my computer but I would have to unplug everything.

• smalltowngurrl Said:

Those are really annoying, I have one on the floor, and it bothers me a lot. Working for IT I thought it would be better, but nope, the guys dont mind the cables.

Hi

What a day, two longggggggggg meetings in the afternoon. Long, and intense, one was good, the other so so. I'm glad is over, and I that I'm home.

Kids dont have school tomorrow, I wanna stay home. I know I cant but one can dream, right?

• BlingQueenRia Said:

i remember that all to well.

ok help!


my throat is so raw and sore from coughing.. im near tears.... suggestions?

Honey? halls ones with honey.

Marci, I just did a search for homemade remedies for sore troat, and there are a lot of things to try.

One says to heat up some milk with one tablespoon of butter, and one of honey. Drink while hot, this will coat the troat and it will help with the swelling

im trying to drink a lot of hot tea.. i have no honey and really don't feel like going into town

the hot tea is helping.. so ill just keep sipping it down

got a stupid stickles question....


*ashmed*

Very cute cards Marci.

thanks i try... im still working with them

Marci-try gargling warm salt water. It tastes bad. But it will help your throat. When I had my tonsils out anything frozen really helped. I hope you feel better.

• foltzy Said:

91 here today. You can have it.

• BlingPrincessMarci Said:

Warm tea or soup. You should prolly go to the dr, to make sure it's not strep.

• BlingPrincessMarci Said:

That's not really how you use stickles. It's not ink.

Good morning ladies! Rainy and yuck here today, which makes me sad. Dh has off and wanted to go golfing with some friends. He was so excited, even took out his clubs and washed them off last night (they had mud on them from the last time). Now I don't think that's going to happen . He hasn't gone at all this year. When we figure out how much we can spend on each other for Christmas, I'm going to get him a gift certificate to a golf course. I wanted to get him a new driver, but what good would it be if he doesn't go golfing? If I get him a gift certificate, he'll have no reason to not go.

Good morning ladies

Marci, hope you are feeling better today.
Desi, the gift certificate is a great idea My dh loves golf, and every Christmas is golf stuff for him, always a hit.

It's sunny here, beautiful day, kids and dh are home.

Morning girls! Only at work today until noon. MIL is having her heart shocked this afternoon. Please be praying.

Going to the Y today to register the boys for bitty basketball. Looking forward to that!!! I can't wait to see them out there!

May check into a membership also. I have committed myself to being in the mini-marathon in May with another friend from church. 13.?? miles. Need to start getting ready for it NOW!!!

Way to go Heather! That will be fun work to get ready for that.

How's everyone?

Happy Veterans Day to all our military persons and their families!

Hi Cathy!!

Fun but hard work! I am getting excited about it! Must maintain an 18 minute/mile or they will remove you from the race. I am not doing it to win (35000 participants) but to finish and say that I did it!

Good morning ladies how is all. I am okay a little tired but okay. I am hoping mother dearest will go in there in cook breakfast so i don't have to i am feeling kinda lazy this morning.

Morning Shatema!

I think it is just great to make the personal goal of getting there and finishing. Go for it Heather!

It would be fun, but wow, 13 miles, you can do it!!!! Determination and hard work!!!!!

Hi Cathy, Shatema, Sis

Yup, we thank and salute them!!!!!

• TripletMother Said:

I will be praying for her.

Hi Heather hi clara i will be back little one just woke up she is hungry

Awe, Marci, I hope you feel better soon. Hot tea usually helps me too.

Heather - yay for deciding to run a mini marathon. I'd never be able to do 13 miles, good luck with that. I'll pray for your MIL.

Morning

• DesiLee Said:

Did I say anything about running???? May be a very brisk walk for 13 miles!!!!

Thanks for the prayers!

Morning Liz!

i think i have an ear infection too

Morning Ladies!!
I am at work...I was feeling refreshed but now I am getting tired. I had oj and sprite instead of diet coke. I am thinking I should go get some diet coke very soon.

Morning.

I am at home - we get Remembrance Day off.

Changed the bed, did laundry and tidied up a bit and now I am watching the remembrance day ceremony live from Canada's capital. In my old place I could step out onto my porch and see the fly by but not here. I could hear it though.

Prince Charles and his wife are here for the ceremony.

I can never go in person as I bawl my eyes out - and no one in the family went to WWI or WWII but still - watching the veterans gets me every time.

Lest we forget...

Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve for us.

You are so right Jane!!! Very cool that you have that there!

Marci - Hope you get to feeling better!

• TripletMother Said:

Nothing wrong with walking. I couldn't do an 18-minute mile when it takes me 30 minutes to walk the 1/2 to 2/3 mile from my house to work. But then I also have to take into consideration that I stop frequently: stop to answer a text, stop to answer a call, stop
to play with the iPod part of my phone... But that is me. I have faith in you that you can finish!!!!

Marci, feel better soon!

Jane how cool is that!!!

Debbie no Diet Coke this morning???? Are you feeling alright???

Mornin Liz and Shasha and Cathy!

I think my friend is starting to reconsider and may want to do the 5K instead (3 miles). I will do whatever she wants!

It is a beautiful Nov. day here too. Sunny and "warm" (43 F - often it is freezing, rain, snow) so the veterans are a little more comfortable.

We wear poppies in the 2 weeks before Remembrance Day and the first year we had the tomb of the unknown soldier, spontaneously the crowd went up to it and laid their poppy on it. Rather moving image.

Ceremony itself is "all inclusive". Military, government, monarchy (our Governor General or real Monarchs as in this year), politicians, embassies, religion (Christian, Judaism, Indian elders..), English and French....

All groups lay wreaths at the base of the war memorial. The ambassadors lay a wreath on behalf of their country as well.

Ceremony is officially over now - the officials and dignitaries are leaving and shaking hands with veterans.

• corrie fan Said:

I am so like that too Jane. The school I'm at this week had some active duty military come and do the flag raising and it was all I could do not to cry.

Morning Joy!
