Had another good laugh this evening. I went to Walmart and bought some pants that were discontinued so they were cheaper. Bought five sets and went to the meeting. It was dark so I changed the pants while I was in the car. Just sitting in the car at the meeting wondering will everybody show up. Then it hit me that is Friday night and not Saturday. Whizzed back to the other meeting in my home town to catch everybody coming out early. One guy who I guess just came to get his paper signed said that they closed the meeting down early. I see Scottie and my friend Zack who is always complaining about the meetings being boring. Zack said that he was locking the door and that he would see me outside. I find that he is at the front of the meeting with Zack. He then introduced me to Lisa, his new wife with the curly hair. I take one look at her and there is no doubt why he didn't come by to help me last Sunday. Zack even offered to help me paint now this Sunday. Geez, he must be bored. Zack asked me how much I would pay and Scottie said that I have given him orange juice last Sunday. Yay, paint party at my house. I just hope my house doesn't scare them off and the ghosts won't scare them too bad. They all have had glimpses of hell so I am sure they will live through the experience.

Yeah, aren't ghouls fun?

You, bet. Maybe the ghouls will stop scaring me so much since there will be new ones to have fun with. I thought about having a seance and asking the ghouls if they like the new color that I am painting the inside of the house with. I really don't have that much experience with interior design and the ghouls' second opinion might help me.

Beetlejuice, Beatlejuice, Beatlejuice.

well the tooth is out and i didnt get fired.....

Glad you didn't get fired, Jax and know the pain being gone has got to help.

Roy - you are too cool. You keep this place going and keep the home fires burning. You keep the welcome mat brushed off and I for one appreciate that. I have been tired lately and still hurting, so doing some reading and lurking in the shadows, but not a lot of posting, and I do appreciate you holding down the "fort" for us. Thanks my friend. Just remember to take care of you. Glad you talked to that girl about her "boyfriend" who can't get a job, DWIs and all, dang, can she say "loser??" Guess it is an age thing, she hasn't been around the block like some of us. He probably isn't as bad as what I married at 19, if I could only go back with what I know now, boy would my life have turned out differently. Hmmmmm, what a thought. Oh, well, fantasy island over, think the plane just landed.

Jax - glad the tooth is out, now don't you agree?? The trip to the dentist was not as bad as all the pain and suffering before hand? I finally figured it out, would suffer for weeks with a toothache, then finally get to the dentist, maybe an hour or so of him working on the tooth and "poof" no more pain. Finally realized that hour or so was much better than weeks of misery. Glad you are not hurting any more. Hope Brandon is better now too. And I am really glad you did not get fired!!

Karen - so cool your instructor showed you how to do the hands in clay and the hair. Always cool to learn new things, keeps the creative juices flowing. Glad you made it to school today. And thanks for watching over the thread today. I didn't see what was going on here, but glad you watched over us.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stay away from the cold and flu bugs, be healthy, stay warm, take care of yourselves.

hey y'all.........haven't been in a while...............been in the hospital.........one of my meds quit working so i had to be put on new meds and stuff.............relearned coping skills.

Wow Amber, sorry to hear that, hope things are better now and the new med is working for you. Wondered where you were. Take care of yourself. I need to get to bed, have to take dad to breakfast again in the morning and should have been in bed some time ago. You have a good day, hope things are going well for you.

Thanks, Marie. I had a really good night. It started when my coworker came in and said hi, buddy. I could tell something was up by the way she was smiling. She got him a construction job paying 15 dollars a hour and she moved in with her girlfriend. After one of the resident got fresh with her she has begun to agree with me it is better to work the floors as a team. She told she wasn't going into his room without me. Like me she just passed out after getting off work and she was over her sick spell. Amazing what just simple sleep can do. Atleast I don't have to worry about her any more. The painting has been good therapy for me and I have a lot done but still have more to do. The brighter color; less cobwebs and the smell is even better since I have been using hot water and pinesol on the walls. I still feel good and really enjoyed the chocolate gravy at the buffet this morning. I hope everyone's day is good. I am going back to painting.

Is it just me or is the world becoming more cruel? There are times I can remember when it was pretty bad, but this is not good.

I am starting to feel like JSH is not home for me anymore. You all are terrific in this thread and support area , its just the rest of the site ......... sighhhhhh

I feel a difference over the whole site compared to when I lived on here to now..

But try and take the good over any bads,, and hope THEY just go away,,,lol

Karen - don't take it personally, just a different generation, different values. Don't leave the site, we still want you here and value you, you are a great support and have been a good friend to us here. The site will continue to change as new members join, not much we can do about it.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

There is a prayer thread for Snuggles in general - she is in the hospital with pneumonia, on a ventilator, since last Sunday, you can post to it if you like to wish her a speedy recovery. Seems like lots of death and illness lately. Makes some of the other threads seem really superficial. I mostly hang out here with you folks and post to all the prayer threads lately, seems to be an over abundance of them. My aunt's memorial is the first of March, hell my brother's funeral was last June. I am getting tired of funerals myself.

Have a good weekend everyone. Take care of yourself and if you catch the flu or a cold, take care of yourselves, please!!!!

My night was going good. I was in high spirits leaving the driveway to go to work. But then I hit the big skunk. I tried to miss it. I thought I had. But then there was that inescapable smell. Luckily, it was only on the outside of the car and the window rollers worked good. My little helper was bent over in pain. She has ulcers. I didn't think anyone could have ulcers at 19. After she had told me her story I had to stop thinking of her as a kid. She told me of her miscarriage of twins. She had thought they could have saved the one because one lasted longer than the other. Karen, you have friends here.

Marie, I will say prayers for ((Snuggles)) I didnt know, and for you all. I do everynight.

I understand what you all are saying, and I've been here for some time. Like a little over a year. Used to be people that care and now just a bunch of little knickertwisters who have nothing better to do that talk about butts/genitals and make fun of people. Hell, I remember when you could cruise the threads and post and people would actually make frinds with you. Not now, if you aren't under 30 you arent worth talking to. Or there are inane stupid topics that are less than interesting.

Not that that is such a great loss to me since I have never spread myself around the site too much, just that this used to feel like home. I never said I was leaveing just complaining about this crap thats been going on. I don't know how many times I helped talk people into staying, and I love all of you.

Thank you all for your support on this. I think Im turning into a whiner.........

hi (((Terry,))) didnt expect to see you down here in my neck of the woods

((Roy,)) they have scientifically proven that tomato juice doesn't work don't go out and buy any.

(((Marie))) I hope this can all move along swiftly for you. How are you doing? Im sorry you have to go through all this pain all at once. You don't deserve it.

amber nice to see you and hope things are better..

karen there are some argumentative peeps on here for sure but these things run in cycles so no worries.did you know they took cookie monster off sesame street because it was felt he promoted bad eating habits?the world is f@#$ked!!

last night, i just had a bad feeling something was going to happen to my 6 year old niece, i sat in bed crying for a few hours expecting the phone to ring, saying somethings wrong. i was going to ring, but this was at at 1 in the morning, and my family would think im weird. i love my neice to bits, is this normal to think? am i paranoid??

No I didnt know that. Idiots.

I know how the wind blows here on the site. I just wanted thier thread removed or moved somewhere else. I don't think they should be allowed to come down here posting rotten remarks about people who feel they need to talk. What if someone didnt talk be cause of it? Let them make fun, but they need to do it somewhere else.
