Ha! I take off on July 10th and start my new post on July 11th! Same pay, same scale, just new hours and area! Just sent a letter of thanks to the Queen and told her that I would do the best job that I possibly could and she would not regret giving me this opportunity!

Whoo! Got a glowing review from my old director! <3


Uhhhh, anyone ever worked at McDs? Is this true? They take trashed plastic cups and reuse? better NOT be true :X

I. Am. Livid.

i hate city court traffic BS. 4 hours and 700$ later i got my license reinstated. it was suspended due to THEIR CLERICAL ERROR!!
they sent a letter informing me of my court date to fight a flash speeding ticket to the WRONG address, a dyslexic mistake in which the reversed 2 numbers!! i filled two motions to have an extension and to have it thrown out. i still had to pay a half of the ticket (along with another ticket) 2 filling fees, and a license reinstatement fee!! i now wait for the judge to issue me a hearing in which i will request that the fines paid on this ticket and the additional fees i incurred to fight it/reverse it be refunded to me. i am so frustrated. but at least i am driving legally, though it should have NEVER been suspended in the first place!!!
they are so insanely rude there.
over the phone i was told to write a letter to the judge, they will confirm the typo in the address and reverse the suspension. NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL!! i was told something completely different when i got to the court house.

I am calming down a bit. hard to swallow spending more than a 2-week paycheck on such evils...
rough.

Congrats on the cooker/smoker. It looks to be the same as mine, just by a different name, even the instructions are almost the same. I suggest experiment with cheaper meats until you get used to it. Whole Chicken(I've made 2 in the past week, makes great smoked chicken soup too):drool:, pieces, & wings are great and easy. Ribs are usually on sale someplace. Experiment on how many chips to use according to your taste for smokiness. I usually cold smoke my meats for 5-10 minutes then add more chips and pressure/smoke them if I want real smoky flavor. But they are plenty smokey without cold smoking.Try cold smoking steaks or chicken pieces 10-15 mins before putting them on the grill. I like cold smoking a lot. Definetly pick up a ball of good Mozzarella :drool: cut it in 3-4 thick slices and cold smoke it,mmmmm. Smoked hard boiled eggs are good too. Ugly, but good. You are going to love smoked baked potatoes:drool:. Yes, smoked salmon is good too and fast. I use Hickory too. It's good for everything and at Walmart a big bag is around $2. I haven't done it yet but I would like to get a 2lb hunk of pork belly and try to make smoked bacon:drool:. I haven't steamed anything in there but you can if ya want. Have fun I'm sure we'll be hearing about your adventures. Do cheese first, it only takes 10 mins and no clean up. Throw your roast in there. mmmmmm. great sandwich. :drool:

Sorry I got this post a little wet but I couldn't help drooling as I wrote.
I have been eyeing this pressure smoker for a while. its ability to cold smoke and cook in a 1/4 or less of the time of my gas smoker is VERY appealing. maybe xmas present from the folks? i would love to smoke cheese veggies for the misses. and fast meats after work for me!
Just got off of the phone with the Queen!!!! 1:00PM to 9:00PM slot is MINE!!! Same pay rate and raise potential in August! I got hit with BAD 1x - law suit, BAD 2x - stolen CC & fraudulent charges, BAD 3x - appeal on my lawsuit & psycho stress, and now the GOOD!!!! I have to sharpen my crayolas and start wearing makeup again!

Thank you! Thank you!
CONGRATS LISA!!! You deserve it!! and LMAO at the crayola makeup!!!

5. 6/18 - I've been reading about my go-to mod parts supplier having their computers hacked, makes me glad my bank account with the CC is empty as usual. I hope it doesn't haunt me later, but for now it's not a problem. They can't take what I don't have. :)
MV is really sucking right now. i have tried calling them 3 times to find out whats goin on. Not once did they answer and the mailbox is now full!! I just want to reorder the single $4 battery!!!! the china mech will be here soooooonnnnn......

6/18 #2

I just read this and YES>>>>> I did order from them within 1 week (the Memorial Day sale)of it happening to me..... I never got notice from MV... Just the bank.. I was told that it wasn't the vender.... it was the merchant services they use(the ones who don't speak english) just sayin'....... They usually don't get any account info, just the OK to ship....
so this has happened more than once with them!!?? danger danger!
Back from PT and ready to collapse after an hour of pool therapy.
feeling rejuvenated? :)

wheres Boardo!? and Dis!??

thanks T,
i am gonna fight it. if i were to have just submitted the motion and not paid it off it coulda taken 3 weeks to get the suspension lifted. this was not acceptable. especially because plain as day it was due to THEIR MISTAKE/TYPO! Hopefulyl i can be refunded a at least $250 of what i paid.....

chat - I haven't seen Dis in a long time. Boardopboy must be busy, I hope they're both OK

@ Uncle - I like the patina look too, but that's caused by oxidation which is no friend of electricity. Plus, it comes off on the hands. I was getting tired of that. If it does start to oxidize again, at least it will be even this time since it's starting from a clean slate. I would have liked to try torching it, but this one's switch is not going to come out without a lot of unnecessary work, maybe next time. Liver of Sulfur does some nice things to copper as well. The combinations of various things that can be done to copper are a recognized style of art. The green color that copper roofs turn into is closer to rust. I'm not too fond of most patinas, they smell like concentrated urine. I can only image what Liver of Sulfur smells like. No thanks!

Using both chemicals and extreme heat, artists spend years learning how to make this stuff pretty, which it is...
