So sorry to hear about your job loss! That breaks the heart. You said last week the boss gave you a "raise" that wasn't a raise and then said you had to do things you didn't want to do. I hope you find someplace so much better! 8 years ago I worked at a place that was so bad for me, when I quit I had no idea where I would be able to get work. I have been at the new place for 7 years. This year is my best. I hope for you that you find something that makes you happy to found it.

That is very inspiring!

yes that is exactly how it went

HUGS waiting to hear good news on your grand babies. crossing my fingers on one hand

Fun fact: I made up new lyrics on the spot about buttering my toast for breakfast to the tune I Need A Hero by Bonnie Tyler this morning. Something along the lines of 'I need a butter knife!'. XD
(..okay, it was actually like 20 minutes ago, i had a late night..) :3 Cocoa and coffee, together, are delicious. ..it would be better with peppermint though. <3

: Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

: I didn't watch the 'big game' either. Much about American Gridiron Football I don't understand and I certainly don't understand the concept of a Superlative Basin Repository. And the violence! It isn't civil! Where are the swords? Where are the shields and the cudgels and the chivalry? I stopped trying to understand gridiron football after "Inflate-Gate," when I realized that the whole enterprise most likely has the same level of integrity that Professional Wrestling has.

Now, what the rest of the world calls football...that's a sport with a great deal of integrity!

thank you and the best sport in the world is the UFC nothing fake about that at all ....

:3 As someone who enjoys watching sports (and anime About sports) I think any sport can be intense and cool.

EDIT:

8O Oh. my. Goodness. I laughed SO much at this. It's a video on youtube that is basically questions from reddit and their responses titled People who just couldn't be bothered. The last one, at the 12:15 minute mark, is BEAUTIFUL. :3

I actually shared it with my whole family 'cause it made me laugh so much. Dad said it reminds him of one of my sisters.
You can watch it without sound (that's how I usually watch those anyway) if you want.

thank you very much for your warm words ... 🌹 it's strange to know that everything will change soon ... but think positively ... only then can it get better and I just don't think that I should mutate into a couch potato from now on. ... I still have too many plans for that ... and it helps that I finally realized what kind of person he is and how stupid I was ... so look better in the future and always listen to the stomach ...

I haven't gotten to 12:15 yet, but they are hilarious.

Positive attitude is the one that will work for sure. Hugs.

Oh my! I didn't know about your grandchildren. I so pray for you to get them back! Feb 22 can't come fast enough! As a foster mom myself, I SO resent bad foster parenting. They are the minority but they give foster parenting such a bad smell. That is so wrong! You all should have visitation rights! My sweet boys, their mom REFUSED to meet with them. Poor things, the mom too. Everyone loses. Our foster daughter was so messed up, she took off 5 years ago when she was 15 but we still keep in touch and she came to my daughter's wedding last December. (most recent picture on my profile page)

D"X LIIIIIIIIIEEEESSSS!!! DAGNABBIT!

...So... My eldest sister walked in to my room carrying a bag. A large Cracker Barrel bag. I'm like 8O le gasp! I LoVe YoU! Now, I'm happy because my other elder sister has been out for a while and I just presumed she had been kind enough to get us warm, already cooked food while she was out.

I dig into the bag. ....it's the things I had accidentally left at my parents house last time I was there....</3 8"(

Now my stomach is growling....sigh

My reply to you broke my heart.

No fair! but giggle worthy story. Thanks for the perk-me-up. :D

^_^' Thanks. She Did bring some bagels though. So that's something. :) I like the floor item on your avi! Cool!

Yum! (Thanks. I like layering). I don't eat bread most of the week (flour makes my skin scratch) but hubby brought home "old fashioned bread" (his words), with black olives! I couldn't resist! hehehe

:) Actually sounds like one my sister would like. I...am not as much a fan of olives.. I'll eat 'em when I feel like I need more vegetable matter (putting it on a pizza or sandwich). But I Do like some of the breads we've tried to make. (emphasis on 'tried' :P )

^_^ A good layering always makes me happy.

: Awe, I'm sorry! Will a hug fix your broken heart?
