Well - "Mine" has been somewhat strange and yet predicable . . .

1) Apartment Managament here has revised House Rules again given that I am now organizing tenants to fight for their rights . . . AND - They are trying to keep people from having Guest, unless they sign-in and get wrist bands to be on the property - if not then Managment will have The Guest evicted - Yep Your Guest Can Be Evicted . . . :evil:

2) Bereavement Group was quite interesting (and that is all I can say) . . . ;)

BUT - The Most Important Thing that made this weekend interesting and exciting . . .

3) "RAY" had a GREAT SALE and I just got a "Shipping Confirmation" notice at 8:27 PM Tonight . . . :D

thanks for the idea a couple pages back about the paperclip...i don't like those bottles that you press so hard and almost nothing comes out...great idea.

Since You are Verified - check out the ECF classifieds, especially since someone we all know is selling some extra bottles he has over bought at a very good price . . . Just Sayin' . . .;)

Uncle, did I miss the pictures of your Amish guest house?


Nope - I was actually going to post a few of them just before "Ray" closed the other thread and opened up the SALE thread . . . Guess now would be a good time . . . SO Keep Your Eyes Open . . .

#3 As usual, I worked all weekend. Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday lunch shift. We also, and very unfortunately, had a server staff meeting at 9AM on Saturday. Just the normal "good job, but do better" routine, but it really upset my schedule because I stayed up til 4 on Friday night. It was mandatory, so a couple servers who didn't show got spanked for not being there. I think one of them actually lost their job over it. My question: if they're not paying you to be there, can they make it mandatory to attend? Seems kinda sketchy to me. Anybody have more info on that than I do?

That sucks. Tish.... CT is an "employment at will" state... and employers can cease your employment at anytime for any reason. Not sure about Arizona.

My employer has training meetings several times a year , these are all day meetings and I have to drive 2hrs each way and we don't get paid for it. then 1 or 2 times a week we have to be at work a hour early for store meetings that we don't get paid for. So I feel ya !

The Kitchen And Dining Area:

Almost everything including the furnture, windows, and lightening (The ones over the counter & Table - I helped with) are handmade by "My" best Friend Tom who died a couple of years ago from Diabeties. AND - One of "My" Favorite things he made - is the "Stainglass Rose Window".




THANKSGIVING 2012:
BTW: I'm somewhere in that picture right next to "My" other Best Friend Cindy Tom's Wife. . .;)




OH - I almost forgot "The MILL" was actually shown on HGTV's "Extreme Homes" a Few Years ago . . . :D
