Well I missed the big chat party, but I did yack with Deb for awhile before the big kick off. Then ate a big dinner got sleepy and fell victim, to the sleepies. The gravitational pull of a pillow rivals that of a black hole. Hey it's not like I'll never get to hang with everyone sooner or later. I've also pretty much given up on adding a provari banner too my sig. everything I've tried has failed. Such is life in the non-tecky world. I even had a hard time posting pic's of paintball stuff I'm trying to get rid of. And I used to do that as easy as breathing. Go figure? I'm almost on the verge of archiving all that I have left and waiting a few years and having an antique sale.

I'm far from being an ECF Guru, but on the sig, if you just hover your pointer over the top right area where your log in name is displayed, a magical drop down menu will appear .. click "Signature" and go to town .. after Threadageddon, I had to put mine back in is the only reason I might know anything .. YMMV and no guarantees offered or implied ..

Hope everyone has a great day! Today is my quarterly "Look See" appt. Hoping for good news!
You and Matt, praying and trusting everything will be fine! Be sure to let us know!! So glad you're popping in a bit more now.

Minimum wage rose above $2.10 an hour starting Jan 1 1976. (In 1975, minimum wage was $2.10 an hour). By Jan 1 1979 minimum wage was $2.90 an hour.
It was a very long time ago, so I could be off on some years, I know pay early on in my working career was 2.10 First "real" job was working 12 hrs a day in a cornfield detassling corn, but don't remember what the pay was, not enough for what we did!! lol

after I get back from bowling!
Used to love to go bowling! Really miss it now that I can't.

my doctor is telling me to have patience
Have you already had the cataract surgeries? Mine aren't bad enough for that yet, but SIL just had her eyes done. One did really well, the other one not so much.

I got to let Debadoo here what I hear when I say her name out loud - it has a ring to it you know - at least in my head...
hehehe I get so tickled that so many get a kick out of my name. You're just too cute!!

I am making some major transitions in my personal life-- so my participation here is dwindling. Only temporary.
Hope it all works out well and that you'll soon be back with us full time!!! Huggsssssss If ya need to talk/vent/anything, we're here hun!!

I'll check in when I get back to Texas next week. Thanks again for all your prayers and support!!!
((((((Sushi))))) so good to hear from you hun!! Can't wait til you get home!

I had a Cinco de Mayo previous engagement yesterday night, so, since I knew Google had not yet perfected the Cyber Margarita
Jup, I asked who brought the pitcher of margarita's, I was hoping Iffy would, but no such luck! hope they get it perfected soon! I make a mean margarita, but have nothing on this puter to upload it. we missed ya!

We had thunder storms throughout the evening, so decided to shut down the 'puter.
Hope Ken and I didn't scare you away the other day. We didn't have storms, but got some good rain last night. Wind keeps pickin up now and then today, so we'll likely get some more tonite.

But, that was working in a restaurant with tips you didn't declare. Wasn't $40 the base pay?
Only if she was a waitress and tips weren't much! Even in early 80's I'd wait on a big family, who ran my legs off, left a huge mess, and be lucky if I got a dollar! and I was a good waitress. I still don't think that restaurants should rely on tips to pay folks' salary. Other businesses don't get away with that. A server in Tx, even now still only has a base pay of slightly over 2.00/hr that's horrible!! I think it's like 2.13 but not certain.

So I have now been directed to kiss and hug her 100 times a day (minimum) to lose weight.
you lucky dog you!!! watch out when she finds out how many calories some "other things" burn up!!

I just discovered that the "10 chars" requirement is no more. Woo hoo! And more "Woo Hoo": still in remission! Start up chemo again in 2 weeks. I'm so grateful. Wish I had Iffy's dancing Snoopy; he'd be scampering across the page right now!

Thanks for Snoopy! I love that beagle!!! Many, many more. This will go on for about 7 years, albeit with decreasing frequency, as long as I stay in remission. We're fighting a 50% recurrence rate. Fortunately, folks are storming the Heavens and all those residing therein on my behalf! :). Hence, my signature ...

yuck. well, at least it's not as bad as it used to be!! And jup, those prayers mean so much!!
oh, forgot to say that yeah, we don't have the 10 character thing anymore, which I love!!! But I think they raised the time that you have to wait between posts. But that's not too big a deal.

He he - I always like to watch and see who lurking too. - Sometimes I call them out...



We go around the Sweeny / Angleton area...


Gotta head out - be back in a few hours...
Hey! That's my area! Let me know when you come, maybe we can have a coffee or something! (yes, I'm still catching up from last weekend + one night hanging out. Don't judge me!)

ooooooo I just learnt anudder sumpthin new!! yanno how if yur reading a long thread, and say you're in the middle of it. You can't click on the page you want (say pg 28), you click on pg 5 and it shows you some more page numbers, but takes a few clicks and page loads to get to page 28, well if you click on the arrow thing, it won't load pages, it'll scroll up or down some more, keep clicking, it shows more, so you can find the page you want quicker

Ah, that lil horizontal arrow! I knew that meant something, but now I know exactly what it is.

I have my alerts, at least for now, set for e mail notifications to see how it will work......well, it doesn't, at least not immediately.
About an hour passes, then all of a sudden I get all these e mails for threads I've read already...

I'm sure these things will work out eventually, so I'm just biding my time!

I'm so excited! It looks like a 3 bedroom apartment will be coming available in 6 to 8 weeks. Lots of space. Downstairs. Washer/Dryer connections.

And, finally my own bedroom!

Moving expenses should be very low. The apartment is in the next building over.
