That is beautiful, Kartagane!

Well Mocha, this isn't my first rodeo as they say! teehee!

When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is = too good to be true.

You have been blessed with some awesome advice on this thread and this will probably happen again. It's happened to many of us a few times each!

I must share with you that I am very much loved by several young men in the army and in the navy and overseas! It becomes quite funny when you think about it! Bottom line - you need to be suspicious of these guys who'll tell you anything and everything without even getting to know you in person! Re-read the advice given in this thread and don't hesitate to reach out again. We all try to keep each other safe and amused I may add!

I have recently been told that one of the coolest things is having a "woman's point of view"!
He has some male friends he's known since grade school and does things with, but they all pretty well think the same!
It feels awesome to have someone value what you think.

Lots of prayers and hugs for you.
You have such a warm heart and I love your sense of humor.
You are so supportive of others and you are a very caring soul.

I wish you strength to get through the pain.
I wish you friendships to warm your soul.
I wish you much love to surround you and hold you dear.

The scammers always say this! You are their ONLY hope. He has NO ONE in his family or his life that can help him!
I know it all sounds so wonderful - all of the wonderful things he has said to you. He has touched your heart and made you feel loved again.
Now STOP and really think about this. No matter what he has said and how many wonderful conversations you have had over the internet, you do NOT know HIM, you only know the lies he has told you. Anyone who really is starting to care about you will NOT ask for money, that's what their closest friends are for.
Report him for sure to save the next victim. Tell him to sod off. Block him!
You deserve so much more than this. You deserve someone real and someone honest. I wish you the very best in your life. Stand up for yourself now, when it really counts.

Sam, what's a smacker?

That's for sure! It's a good saying/commercial! teehee

I got home about 40 minutes ago and my feet are still frozen from waiting for my car to warm up!

Cold toes ... warm heart?

"... What I will probably expected to do is complete some of the work for the apprenticeship in my own time."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And how many hours in a day do you have where you are?
Holy smokes, girl! Talk about lighting the candle at both ends!

I'm not saying it can't be done! It definitely can IF you want it bad enough.
If it's just a stepping stone, I think I would pass!

Is it the money that is enticing you or the inner pride that they could see your potential?
I am seeing your potential from here! Just the fact that you are working 35-40 hrs. per week on a crappy shift AND working on a degree fulltime on your own!

Someone once told me to go for what I wanted in let's say 5 years from now.
They said that each step I took should be in the direction that takes me closer not further away!
Each decision that I make should also be in my goal's favor!

I wish you the very best. I know you will make the right decision for you for right now.

Will the promotion change your work hours at all? To something close to the 9 to 5 that you want?

Often the expectation of a team leader/supervisor is one of greater hours demonstrating your commitment to the business.
Will you need to put in longer hours?

Oh my!!!
When I finally got home from work on Monday, I got stuck in my driveway!
I could not, for the life of me, get my car door open!
The snow had drifted into my driveway and it came up just below my window!
Seriously - I could send you some! I could send you lots!! teehee!!!

Southern Alberta Canada - and we are in a deep freeze.
The weatherman said we are as cold as the North Pole today!
I think I saw a penguin waddle by! Brrrrr!!!!

I think the most important thing right now is to take it slow and in the meantime, work on yourself.
Remember your worth. Do things you enjoy. Laugh and giggle all you want.
Think of how far you have come and be proud that you are looking out for you.
And you're doing a pretty good job of it so far.
Celebrate you!

I wish you much love and happiness starting right now!

CrystalFairy and Larsson - please stay safe.
It's amazing how much power the wind has. Stay indoors and stay warm and safe.

I will send you both some prayers and good thoughts.
May God keep you both safe.

"We Are GO"

(Oui) means yes in French
(Ar) first 2 letters of your name
(Go) last 2 letters of your name

Awesome name I might add and we have the green light for our business!

Hello pastoralstudent.
Thank you so much for warning us all about scammers.
I know we've heard this information before but if it saves one person from being scammed then it was worth it!

Scammers have been around forever. It's their media that has increased significantly.
Years ago, in a more trusting world, it was done door to door.
Then telephone scams began and grew. You have won (a new car) just send us $450 to cover shipping & handling and appropriate taxes.
Then came the internet which basically opened up the world to these dishonest people.

Yes, remember the basics - if it's too good to be true, listens to your instincts.
Thanks and be well.

I think he said "Hi girls, please add me"
