YUCK you are so corect there ! BUTT, if ya use a bita whiskey and some milk and a bit of kaluah...ya got yourself a very nice Irish Whiskey, Cream atop or not. The important thing here is to de stress and do something nice for you~~~~~~~~~~~
get a nice Irish Whiskey and FLOAT IN YOUR POOL OGRESS !!!!!!!!!!

Floating in my pool requires moving my behind out of this chair, getting out of my work clothes and removing the cover from the pool. Too much effort. That will be tomorrow after I clean the coops. At least I won't have to put a bathing suit on as I am home alone. Kids are at sleep-overs and DH is in the basement playing computer games - about as present as being on another planet!

get some hot sour soup from the Chinese restaurant ... not sure which ingredient is the "magic" one but it usually cures all my flu and cold IF I get it before it starts or right afterwards
if I wait until I start coughing ... too bad

Do they have a PCC natural market near you?

I'll find an excuse to go to Issaquah tomorrow for a "flu Fighter". I I'm not sure what's all in it, but I see them stuffing kale, garlic, cayenne, ginger, parsley and all sorts of other veggies into the juicer. works every time.

sounds nasty, tastes good. Then I need a little vodka to put in it to make it an extra-special bloody mary.

That is true, you need to relax some how.
Forget about work and the kids just think of laying in the sun (not to hot and down worry about the burn you wont get one) and hearing the ocean and the breeze..

THAT IS REIKI

But talk to ya'll later !!

No Washington updates here, and none for other subscriptions I have today. Wazz up with that? I just thought no one is online because of super bowl fever or something. When I go to the Washintonians myself, I see tons of new posts that I didn't know about.

Also when I ramble around , now and then I check out some post and add a reply. Bang, BYC subscribes me to it. I didn't want a subscription, I just wanted to make one comment period!!

The longer they say they are fixing things, the worse they are getting. In the older days you just had one click to subscribe or unsubscribe. How easy that was

Oh I know the feeling when I was a hair stylist that is what Christmas and New Years was like. I got married on Jan 20 one year and spent the next week in bed alone I was so sick. Poor husband he took care of me, but not the honeymoon we wanted.

Ive done the HR training for two years didn't take it this year. The owner of the place said stop being a bus driver and I'll hire you. Well NO they don't pay me for the full year just this time of the year. I love the stuff and learning, now all my friends ask me about all the stuff..

Take lots of Vit and eat good food and oh wash your hands often and wipe off your table too, that could help with the bugs coming your way.. You don't have to be weird about it just use the towelettes and if they want to shake hands so oh my gosh Ive got a little cold coming on I don't think you want to get it. Might help...

The pay is just over $10 an hour. I don't think I made so little since I was in college in the mid 80's. A huge drop from working as a molecular biologist 13 years ago, but I look it as being paid a small stipend to get educated. I have a very small commute and I am between home and the kids school, so if I really need to pick one of my kids up, I can. Next year I get commissions. I hear that our office does not earn much in commissions. We many free 1040EZ and lower priced returns for senior citizens, so no one wants to work out here. I have not found that to be the case. I work with a great group of people. I had my first retiree today, air-force pension and several other retirement accounts, and a huge schedule A due to all his wife's medical expenses. It was not a cheap return. Mostly I have been doing single parents getting EIC; also not a cheap return. Second peak is all the day traders and people who owe, that starts the last week of March and lasts through the filing deadline. I have already gotten a lot of referals, so I've not needed to do any marketing. That makes me happy because I hate marketing. Surprisingly, I like the job than I thought I would. I meet a lot of interesting people, and just a few I feel are taking advantage of the system (maybe that is when I am gritting my teeth and causing my TMJ issues). It's the e-mails I'm getting from Alex's teachers about him not completing assignments, my neglected house and neglected yard that stress me out. Oh, and chicken poop.

May I introduce you to the Silver Spangled Hamburg?

Meet Suzzy, Maggie, Terre and Elvis, who live in a tube of wire and single-wall plastic (Double over their roost so they don't have dripping condensation disturbing their sleep) and who happily laid eggs through the recent unpleasant weather (note snow on the ground behind their treat pan where they are enjoying raw oatmeal, their favorite thing except redworms). The breed is notoriously flighty, but these four are my babies and second, third, fourth and fifth best friend after Bacchus the Jacob sheep.

They are so pretty....

Thank you- they're just lovely in motion, too, with their tidy little blue feet. And lay slightly larger eggs than the Wyandottes, who are at least twice their size.

The pay stinks! $10 per hour! I don't think I made so little since I was in college in the mid 80's!!!! A huge drop from working as a molecular biologist, but I look it as being paid a small stipend to get educated. Next year I get commissions. I hear that our office does not earn uch in commissions. We do too many free 1040EZ and lower priced returns for senior citizens, so no one wants to work out here. I have not found that to be the case. I had my first retiree today, air-force pension and several other retirement accounts, and a huge schedule A due to all his wife's medical expenses. It was not a cheap return. Mostly I have been doing single parents getting EIC; also not a cheap return. Second peak is all the day traders and people who owe, that starts the last week of March and lasts through the filing deadline. People have been passing my card to their friends too, so I have had no problems finding clients. I've not needed to do any marketing. Surprisingly, I like the job. I meet a lot of interesting people, and just a few I feel are taking advantage of the system. It's the e-mails I'm getting from Alex's teachers about him not completing assignments, my neglected house and neglected yard that stress me out. Oh, and chicken poop.

I want to know how welfare works - I find it alarming when someone who appears to be perfectly capable of working can get hundreds in housing assistance and hundreds more in WIC, and a hard-working single mom who works full time and goes to college full time in an effort to pull herself up gets only $75 per month in WIC and no housing assistance. She has student loans to pay for schooling and uses some to help with household expenses. I would much rather my tax dollars go to the college student mom who is working so hard to get by han the chain-smoker who's milking the system.

I no longer feel the burn from the bourbon ... I can drink it straight. I think my jaw will be fine in the morning.

Oh no you will be talking about the headach tomorrow...
