Cheryl, crossing my fingers for him!

I have had to take a test before. It is fairly standard procedure, esp if you are going through a recruiter/contract agency.

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Half way to the weekend.

So we still have no phone, cable or internet at home. Comcast's craptastic customer service! Said they would be there yesterday afternoon. Not so much as a call back & no show on the service guy. DH called & gave them an earfull last night so they should hopefully get it fixed today. Of course we won't get a credit for the down time will we?!?

DH is actually at a job interview this morning. He was nervous -- he has to take a test (which I've heard of for his type of work). He was nervous. Think last test he took was back in high school & let's just say it has been a few years since then...

Hope everyone is having a good day.

crossing my fingers that his interview goes well!

I agree with madd, I would definitely ask for a credit, b/c that is ridiculous that they didn't even show up or call and they should really credit you for it...we don't have comcast, but time warner has always been good about crediting us when our service has been out and not fixed right away...It can't hurt to ask.

Hey, I have a random question for all of you. I know that many of you are, well, not so traditional when it comes to religion.

I am not very religious, okay, well maybe not really at all in a traditional sense, and I always feel uncomfortable when someone asks me to pray for someone else. I feel sort of like an imposter if I say I will, but on the other hand I don't want it to feel like I am not thinking of the person or don't care.

What is the proper response?

Kat - I usually say "sending positive thoughts your way"

If it is a Diser- you can always use the "pixie dust"

Kat - I usually say "sending postivie thoughts your way"If it is a Diser- you can always use the "pixie dust"

me too. I guess cause then at least I'm still doing something even though it is not praying for them...anyone I've always told, has always seemed pleased enough by that response

Maybe we should tell her to say "positive" instead of "postivie". That way, they might understand what she is trying to say

My way sounds a little "fronch" frONch fries! (anyone remember that movie- Better Off Dead? )

Do they even have to come into your house or can they fix it from outside??

No, thank goodness. It is an outside repair. The ice & snow on the line pulled it loose & it finally just came out of the side of the house. DH can fix the siding, but doesn't want to touch anything (live wires... electricity... ya know) until they fix it.

I feel sort of like an imposter if I say I will, but on the other hand I don't want it to feel like I am not thinking of the person or don't care.

What is the proper response?

Usually, I make light of the belief difference. "I'll be praying for you, after all a few extra Methodist prayers & positive thoughts can't hurt." You could swap in whatever you do pray/meditate/etc. So say something like "I'll be sending positive thoughts, the extra positive karma can't hurt" (that isn't the best example, but you get the idea).

I have a lot of friends who are non-Christian in one way, shape or form & no one has ever been offended. I think when you toss in that last bit, it shows you are being supportive in your own way and not trying to get all preachy about things. Part of it may be my friends are not crazy ultra-orthodox whatever they are, so they don't get bent out of shape easily, but I think part of it is when people really need the support they are just grateful you are there for them, in what ever way that is.

frONch fries!

What is the proper response?

My religious beliefs are not exactly mainstream either. If I am asked to pray for someone I always say "I will" rather than get into semantics. Po-TAY-toh, Po-TAH-toh. In my eyes what they are asking me to do is simply called a different name and may look different to them than what I might wind up doing but the intent and objective is the same If I want to let someone know that I am (in their words) praying for them, I usually say, "My good thoughts are with you."

Sending postive thoughts DH's way hoping everything goes well!!

I completely agree with what calypso said, and also what Madd said. As my DB has been fighting cancer I ask for prayers & positive thoughts because Christians are used to that, but I myself prefer "positive thoughts" as I believe in a nature based religion.

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone's morning is off to a good start! Thankfully the sun is shining here again today and the temps are high enough that the snow is melting, yippee!!! I could definitely feel spring in the air this morning and the cardinals were singing before the sun came up! I just love the sounds of nature in the morning and cannot wait to have coffee out on the deck again!

Have a great day!

 

[zima-cheryl]

cannot wait to have coffee out on the deck again!

I can't wait to come home from work, kick off my shoes & hang on the deck w/a nice glass of wine.

 

[zima-cheryl]

We had a robin in our backyard today!
And the paper said they had a large flock of cedar waxwings in town (wish they had stopped by my house) this weekend.

Spring can't be far behind.

It is beautiful here in NYC today... the only consolation to having left my beloved WDW behind last night!

 

[Kennywife]

Well, I tried to avoid it and tried. It caught up with me. I am going to have to be colon medicine.

I have IBS and have had it for some time. I have been able to control it with diet. It has come back and this time with a vengence. My dx has recommended I go on a medicine for it. Now, I have to admit to Have a problem with my gastro track.

Yuck.

So how was your trip!!!!!??

I am sitting here trying to get myself in the mood to look at my Disney info so I can make ADRs next month. It is not that I am not excited, it is the work I have to do figuring out which parks on which days and fit the ADRs into that. My brain is resisting

Trip was amazing. Cold, but amazing. GF RPC is so fantstic.

Well, you didn't have to admit it. At least not publicly.

After five days of Nescafe at WDW, I had some intestinal issues. YUCK

ewww Nescafe...and that's why you bring your own coffee from home..lol

Just remember, as you get closer you can (and if you are at all like me you will) change your ADR's around. Our poor TA must want to strangle me some days w/all the checking & changing I do!

ewww Nescafe...and that's why you bring your own coffee from home..lol

Have you seen the instant sticks -- I think from Maxwell House? Easy to pack & a fair cup of coffee (not Starbucks but not the stuff you get in the room either).

How was the GF? When we went by there on the monorail it looked lovely - so much so I wish we had booked it instead of the Poly. But then I've had people tell me it isn't as nice as it looks. I'd love to know your opinion of the resort.
