Julie!! You have an anal self? No anal gland, however...

Does an anal self have to be squeezed? Does it cause you to scoot along the livingroom carpet?

Excellent question!

No, no glands are involved, it's a rather glandless condition. Sooo, nothing to squeeze. No scooting.

It's rather uneventful.

Emily seems to have interviewed -some might say probed - many many men w/ questions on the prostate.

Bah! After all.....aren't we all just a bunch of glands?

...pardon me as I wax philosophical...

Sillies I did some soul searching today....I am thinking of a career move, I might go back into the childcare field. I miss working with the little ones. I worked in daycare for a few years, and then I ended up at this center with a high turnover rate with staff....things went downhill and with me being sick then (before celiac diagnosis) and in a rough relationship the job was hard to keep.

This sounds great Amanda.

Life is much too short to be stuck in a miserable job. I say go where your heart is leading you, and now that your personal life is on track and your body is healing and stable (post diagnosis) there is no better time than the present for you to make this change.

Thanks for the kind words Julie! I think I know deep down that a move is what is right, it is scary though.....I just need that push.

Go for it Amanda..........agree lifes too short to left 'fear of change' hold us back

there is nothing 'more real' than being aroun 'little ones' who aren't jaded and 'just are being'

hugs

Gad, that's what....Six hours? Get off that phone, Janet! Report for duty!

Reporting for duty!! Had book club tonight which means I had to go out drink wine, eat brownies, and gossip.

So, what if I did NOT pay off my credit card, and got a boob job instead????????????

:lol:

All responses welcome.

Pay off your credit card but save about $30 for a water bra or chicken cutlets. Here's a

This sounds like an excellent option, Amanda. Here's my (unsolicated) advice: You're not desparate for a job. Be picky . . . be happy with the people, happy with the facility, happy with the commute. You worked at one that didn't work out so you know what to look out for . . . GOOD LUCK!!!

[elye]

Good morning....Wait.....wanna have lifted spirits this whole day, so....

Good Morning, all????...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????!!!!....

That has a very good, true sound to it, Amanda. Like Janet says, you're in an ideal position: not desparate, your bills are being paid, so you can take your time and have the luxury of waiting for something that really fits.

Is the option there for you to be a home-based caregiver? Lots of advantages to this, but I can suddenly think of one or two disadvantages, as well. Ever since I became self-employed, I vowed I'd never again work for someone else. It's been terrific (and no one else has to put up with me..at least administratively!)

[blueeyedmanda]

I am not sure I can do self-employment. I may not have the discipline....and being an in-home child care giver comes with a lot of hard times. I have seen many have to go out of business due to allegations of this and that. I think it may be easier to work for an established chain.

[jerseyangel]

Amanda,

I think you have come to an excellent decision. You are so young (from my perspective) and have your whole life ahead of you. It makes no sense to be surrounded by people who constantly bring you down.

From what I know of you, working with children would be a perfect fit. Definately, go for it--be choosy, and find the "fit" that is best for you. Anyone that hires you is very lucky!

[nikki-uk]

So, what if I did NOT pay off my credit card, and got a boob job instead????????????

:lol:

'Serious face now'.......Don't MAKE me come over and FORCE you to do the right thing!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

You simply MUST get the boobs er, pay off card (tempting)

Lest I look like an irresponsible boob myself, I'd pay off the credit card.....but I'd really want the boob job (or in my case, the tummy tuck)

Patti!!!!!.......yeah, we want BOTH!!!! OMG, my friend is in hospital NOW recovering from a tummy tuck.........SHEESH.......painful, painful (green guy emoticon) - she cannot stand straight yet ...I joke with her that the surgeon pulled her skin so tight her toes curl upwards

But my financially anal self will not permit me

Ah Julie,....'tis a curse to be financially anal isn't it??

Cash the check, hold onto the money, run up your credit cards on things like vet bills, declare bankruptcy -everything magically erased- then get the boob job with the cash.

Or, even better, charge the boob job, then bankruptcy, then mad spending spree with cash.

*nodding head - stroking chin*

I like it!!.......the scientist has some good ideas

From how you've spoke you clearly love kids - therefore I think it would be a job you would get alot of 'job satisfaction' from.

Gosh, I do think working with kids is a vocation - 'cos although I've got 3 of my own *I* couldn't work with the little critters *shudder*

Good morning....Wait.....wanna have lifted spirits this whole day, so....

Good Morning, all????...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????!!!!....

Better now, cheers Emily

[blueeyedmanda]

Thankfully today is a much better day at work. Things sailing smoothly on this end will help with the search for my next move. I won't be in such a hurry to take the 1st offer just to jump ship.

I adore children. I am a kid at heart and I can go down to their level and that helps a lot.

Yep, totally agree.

Patti!!!!!.......yeah, we want BOTH!!!! OMG, my friend is in hospital NOW recovering from a tummy tuck.........SHEESH.......painful, painful (green guy emoticon) - she cannot stand straight yet ...I joke with her that the surgeon pulled her skin so tight her toes curl upwards

Or the lady whose skin was pulled so tight in a facelift that everytime she sits down, her mouth opens.

Boy, do I hear you. I can only teach grown-ups....

TINK! TINK! TINK! <knife tapping on water goblet>

Ahem *throat clearing*

May I have everyone's attention?

I have just discovered that Patti has now posted more times than Scott the Board Creator/Administrator. She is now the overall #1 poster!!!!!! She has MORE opinions than anyone else on this forum!

Congratulations Patti . . .

be on the look out for superfluous fluids

[blueeyedmanda]

Congrats Patti!!!!!

As a present to you we may send the parade your way, as long as I can round up the other party/parade participants. I may have to let you know in advance, we may not be able to have Danny join us, he is currently trying to defend his reasonings as to why they will no longer be selling tobacco products at Wegmans. He said he will try though,

[jerseyangel]

She has MORE opinions than anyone else on this forum!

Or just more hot air

I can't believe how many posts I've racked up

And yes! Bring the parade by here--with all of you atop your respective floats

[blueeyedmanda]

I'll bake up some great gluten-free goodies for the event!

I was just at the Allentown store on Sunday, and didn't notice they didn't carry tobacco products (although I'm not a smoker anymore, so I probably wouldn't have noticed it).

First time we had been to Wegmans since before the holidays, so I stocked up and spent a fortune

[Green12]

Congrats Patti! you are the posting Queen!!!

Thanks for the kind words Julie! I think I know deep down that a move is what is right, it is scary though.....I just need that push.

You're welcome

I was flipping through channels yesterday and I saw a little segment on some news program/talk show. This life coach has written a book about "living outrageously", making changes, doing something bold in our lives.

I have always liked that quote, "do the thing you most fear", kind of the same idea.

Change is scary, but I think you are getting the message loud and clear that a change is needed, i think a lot of times listening to those gut feelings and following them will lead you to a much happier life.

Ah Julie,....'tis a curse to be financially anal isn't it??

Nikki, yes it's a real biotch. There's no fun whatsoever involved!

YETI sighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Regis and Kelly (oops I almost said Kathy Lee, same difference).

Apparently they have some winter contest named in honor of Yeti, seems Yeti is a symbol of winter and snow getaways.

I wonder how they got that idea.

I heard something about that from the other room--I heard "Yeti" and tried to get in there and see what was up.

you said"biotch"

[blueeyedmanda]

Now you're talkin

I am using the wrong quote, they are stopping in Feb, its been all over the news and people are all Poed...well why should tell sell bakery items that cause obesity....etc etc...

I was there on Sunday, I think we are stopping there tonight to pick up some things for dinner.

Do a google search about the cigarette sales....you should see what the people up in NY are saying...some things are harsh.
