'ey up kid

I hit the wrong button! Let me start over again!
Good morning Roy I really like your Mom's advice. Did you ever try that? Believe me, it works & it sounds like you need all the help you can get out in the home that you work in. Praying would really help you. If you don't believe in prayer or just don't want to try it try some form of meditation before & after work. Yoga & other arts will teach you how to do this. There are even books that will teach you how that you can get out of your library. Praying seems to be the best idea...praying for patience! The home you work in sounds like a real touchy situation & you would need patience. The residents there are the ones that really need your help right now! They're very lucky to have a good, caring person like yourself to help them with their needs. It sounds like where I used to work was a lot like your place of work. It was in pretty bad shape (a powder keg) when I got there but slowly was on the upswing. When I started there, the union wasn't there or anything. The place is now one of the best homes around. Keep the faith & try praying or someother form of meditation to calm yourself down. This'll also help you on the job. You're too young to have a heart attack or worse.

How're you doing this morning, Tony? Can I ask you something? I just reviewed a book by somebody in the UK. At one point the heroe had 'chip butties' for supper. I know that has something to do with food since I know chips are food. But what are chip butties? I hope today goes well for you!

Good morning Deb, Roy and Athoss, Hope you all have a beautiful day!! Going to be another HOT one here..

Yeah. I don't need another heart attack. The first one was real intense and the second one just scared me. Sometimes I forget the stint is even there. The young ones are really trying to stick it to the man so to speak. I don't think a union would work here since the place is $300,000.00 dollars in debt. We had four bidders on the place and I think the last one just backed out, too. Nobody in their right mind would want to assume the debt and pay what the owner wants to sell it for. I want to tell the young ones that beggars can't be choosy but then they are young enough to find a different job. But then the job market isn't that good. It kind of reminds me of that song with the words: "When I need love I just hold out my hand and I touch love. I never knew there was so much love. Guiding me night and day."

I have had a fun day working on my new room. I got the rafters on the lower end of the room done. I am almost a third of the way joining the top of the rafters to the old house. A friend let me borrow his two battery operated screw drivers and it sure has been easier than using nails. I gave him a ten to get screws and he never showed up. He probably just forgot and it has been a hot one. I just had to come in and wring my clothes out and take a cool shower. It isn't like the room is just going to get up and walk away. Not the way I have put it together.

Good morning peeps

Good morning mingle friends

TGIF now for some cool weather TGF air conditioning.

Got to orientate and train a new aide last night. As usual I am learning a lot. She has been an aide two years longer than me. I was sure glad the owner lifted the hiring freeze. I would brag about her to our CNA supervisor but the supervisor was suspended, yesterday for three days along with the aide she gave the second writeup to. I am learning how to keep a low profile here lately. It just seems safer and it is nice to have my serenity back. Serenity can get boring but I am getting where I really like boring. I can always watch TNT because they know drama.

Good Morning! (smiles)

Good morning, friends. Hi, che.

Good morning Che_ and Roy...hope you all have a great weekend! Going to be hot here again and possible thunderstorms this afternoon...keep cool everybody!!

Good morning, Carol. I sat outside with my hammer and nail puller pulling all the old bent up nails out of the good lumber my brother gave me. I saved myself some money on lumber then got the refund check for 20 bucks for an overpayment on a former wireless account. Man, that check just made my day. But it was the check stub that was the cherry on top because the bucks stopped here in my favor this time.

Morning all you Minglers...coffee all round

Morning all, How are things going? Drinking coffee & planning the day.

Good morning Sage,
It's going to be a sticky one here today. I'm thinking about breakfast (that would be a good idea. Wouldn't it?) My girlfriend is coming over later to watch movies on the DVD. That's my day in a nutshell today besides writing a few overdue letters.

Supposed to be cooler here today, don't know yet, haven't stuck my head out. I have plenty to do, helping clear some brush from a yard, need to go make another load for the recycle center; Monday morn. Then yards to mow & other projects.

Morning Deb and Don, Expecting rain storms here today.. Having muscle spasms in my lower back, can hardly walk now for 2 days..lol

WOW! I can associate with the muscle spasms! Hope you feel better soon !! Tried stretching?
