So i sit down to order a big buddha tank for my birthday from madvapes and the order wont go through. I call customer service and they say that due to new laws in texas they cannot ship into the state without proof of age and a signature on delivery, so they are waiting to upgrade their system before they try to ship anything to texas. And here i was proud of my state.

I made a thirty minute meditation video of sunset and surf if anyone wants to download it...it's up on youtube. There's a couple of shaky spots and a man kept swimming into view from the left. Toward the end, it was getting difficult to hold the camera up, but it's fairly decent. If you like it, give a thumbs up :thumb: on the Youtube page. (It helps my SEO) There is an edit in
progress to remove a bit of the shakiness.

I put my feet in the warm waters of the gulf, laid back and listened to the waves while recording the sunset. Put your feet in a pan of warm Epsom's salts water, sit back, relax, and listen.

Susan, thank you so much! You did a mighty fine job!!! :)

It's the almost silence between the waves that is especially poignant!

Yesterday would have been my dad's seventy-eighth birthday. I was missing him so much. First birthday since his death in April and I kept wanting to call him up and chat a while. Miss his voice and laughter.

Thanks Myrany. Warm cyberhugs greatly appreciated. Don't believe we've met. I'm Susan. I pop in from time to time. I write and am at the computer doing research often. It's a challenge for me to keep up. So much can happen on here in a day. I don't get to read through every day, but I try as often as possible.

Legs, give Ginny hugs. Glad to hear she's doing better...and Patty, Iffy she looked so good when we met up. Glad the PT has boosted her courage and confidence.

Happy Birthday everybody who is celebrating! There are so many I'd name you all, but I'm afraid I might overlook somebody and I can't have that! Mine is a week from yesterday...so we have another SCORPIO here.

Susan, I know the feeling. Although it's been years I still think of my dad often. {{{{{SUSAN}}}}}.

Ah, a Scorpio.......now I understand why we get along so well being a Pisces myself!
Yes Gracie! Kindred spirits.

Thanks Matt. I lost my mom at the age of eight. You never stop thinking of them no matter how long ago it was.

Susan, super big cyber {{{{{HUGS}}}}} I lost my Dad over 30 years ago and miss him every day. Lost my Mom in 1993 to breast cancer, and miss her every day too. It never goes away, just into a special place in your heart. Birthdays are always rough with memories.

Thank you all SO much for your prayers, love and support! I started a job 3 months ago and am working closely with an immature 25 year old girl. She's a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde type...sucking up to the higher ups and being mean to her coworkers. She is constantly giving me crap. She tries to create a negative work environment and then gets upset when I don't react...at all! I just ignore her behavior which sets her off even more. I've talked to the owner of the company and she "apologized" saying "I'm sorry if you think I've made you uncomfortable". This is girl talk for "screw you!" She said I misunderstood her, she talks to me the way she talks to her friends who are her age, and I don’t understand because I’m old. This job is her own personal stage of drama, drama, drama. I have a very strong work ethic and just want to stay focused on work...I don't do drama! She actually threw a fit one day saying "Why isn't anyone listening to me???? Why isn't anyone paying attention to me?????".

The owner has given me more responsibility, asking me to take on a huge project and of course this girl started acting out even more. I guess she's threatened by me and must be frustrated that she gets absolutely no reaction from me. I continue to treat her with kindness...I refuse to be brought down to her level. I can be a really mean, vindictive ....*, but I choose to take the high road. I have my own serenity prayer...Lord, please give me the strength not to tear her a new one!

Otherwise, I love this job and quite frankly, I'm damn good at it! I'm working in a German deli/meat market. Growing up, I spent my summer working in my grandfather's grocery store and I just loved working in the meat market (yes, I was that weird kid). I inherited the gift of BS from my grandfather....damn good at that, too! I could quit this job and go somewhere else, but I would be giving up a dream I never even knew I had...to get back to my roots. It's just depressing as hell...especially knowing that I'm letting this punk run me off.

Thank you, Porchers, for letting this be a place where we're comfortable getting our rant on!

Happy birthday Russell! I hope you get at least a couple of things on your list!

Robert~ I'll be praying for you and your wife. Please let us know how the both of your are doing!
There was a girl like that at the job I retired from. Twice she called me into a private office tried to lecture me. Both times I turned it around on her & walked away. Our jobs actually had very little to do with each other, other than it being her job to correct errors I came across on customer accounts, so outside of that minimum contact I ignored her. I finally told her it was obvious to everyone that she had some vague, random, personal thing against me, & no one, including me cared, & that I would be there long after she was gone. And I was.

My Dad passed in 1990. I have outlived him by 1 year. I miss him everyday.
