What is 4-way?

 

[Shugardrawers]

Good Morning! Im still STUFFFFY! Blah!

I ran out last night to Walgreens (in Pajama Bottoms, for those keeping track!) and bought some nasal spray, cuz I couldnt sleep! I felt like I was suffocating!

So - I was going to buy 4-Way. Ive used it in the past, and it's always worked. But they had Walgreens brand "WAL FOUR" - and it was on sale, so I scooped it up.

Dont buy this one. Ever. It works but it BURNS!!! OMG! I felt like it shot through my eyeballs, too!

Now I gotta go buy normal 4-Way - what a waste.

AFRIN NO DRIP EXTRA MOISTURIZING 12 HOUR MIST!!!!!!!!!!
It's a little more than the others, but I've been suffering through horrible sinus problems for days and this one FINALLY worked! Trust me, it's well worth the extra couple bucks

I was thinking the exact same thing! Sounds like Shugar has an "in" with the snarky one....or the snarky one has it "in" for Shugar....I haven't figured that one out yet.

Of course, just to go grocery shopping I:

-wash the grocery cart off with clorox wipes


Yes, I am a freak. But y'all knew this already

I think the SPF has it in for me and is stalking me Just when I say the one most embarassing thing I'd NEVER want repeated, she'll strike

I wash the cart handle! And I don't use the store's wipes, I use mine. A good squirt of anti-bac gel in it and my hands after it's wiped down and THEN I'm good to go

 

[Shugardrawers]

OH EMM GEE....YOU LIVED IN CRAKIMA???? That's scary.

You KNOW you're from WA when you call it Crakima! I moved away in 2000 to Biloxi, MS (now THERE'S a step up ) to be with Dh, who I met online). I miss my family in Seattle/Everett and some of the familiar things like Pike Place Market, Green Lake, Mercer and Vashon Isand and Seafare Days. Are you old enough to remember watching J.P. Patches and Wunda the Witch? The fact I even ask tells you I'm WAY over a certain age Crakima on the other hand, I will NEVER miss.

I live in Moses Lake.

Ahhhhh Moses Lake. Home of the original school shooting. All the rest are copy cats Ever notice they NEVER mention it when talking about the epidemic of school violence in the 90's and on? A dubious distinction for sure But I always wonder why the lives lost there don't seem worth mentioning during these reports

It looks like the SPF heard you and updated your siggy.

Soooo....who's your favorite Tag Fairy? (sorry, I'm still a suck up - especially to the purple one. hehehe)

HRH QUEEN SHUGGIE WORSHIPS ONLY ONE TAG FAIRY THE ALL SEEING, ALL KNOWING, BENEVOLENT AND BELOVED SNARKY PURPLE TAG FAIRY ALL OTHERS PALE IN COMPARISON

(anyone got a wet wipe, I need to wipe this brown stuff off my nose )

Glad youre still in jammies, WARD (it's good for you once in awhile!)

You mean I'm not supposed to wear them all the time?? But I have all these GREAT flannel jammie prints! I got away with wearing them to Walmart and the grocery store when I was in chemo and wearing headwraps. I got sympathetic "of course she doesn't feel like getting dressed" looks. I think I'd get "what a lazy slob" looks now. I might have ignored that once or twice though

 

[jordansmomma]

Is that kinda like Zicam? I use Zicam.

There is this club on Facebook that is you know your from Moses Lake when...its so funny.
Yep only one who is from WA knows about Crakima...that place is just too damn scary. I hate going there for soccer tourn.

I love Pikes place!! I just love the Seattle area..I love that 3 hrs away I can take my kids to MLB games, NFL games(even tho they royal sucked this year), there are just so many things there. I really love the Seattle area..

Sad but true, our very own Barry L. was the first school shooter. Its sad that someone was treated so poorly and no one did anything about it. Then he did that. I was a senior in high school when it happened. My almost bro in law was in the math class. He was sitting next to Arnie. Its sad that it was so publicized in the beginning and then come along the copy cats.
Yeah they never to mention ML just Columbine and others. But its all too sad.

Hi gang! haven't read back yet.

We leave for our cruise this Friday and my car was still registered in FL and everything was expired so I had to run around today getting a new drivers license, registration, tag etc. Blah! Now I'm back home and I can start packing! wooohoooo!

 

[Shugardrawers]

Barry Loukaitis deserves NO recognition but the victims and survivors of his attack do NOT deserve to be forgotten the way they have been. It makes me sad

Natalie was on 20/20 about a year ago. Since then she has gotten married. Her parents own this amazing beautiful place, that is where i want to get married. If I ever do...

I think that they aren't recognized because well we were the first. But then again it is nice that we aren't there are some parents that are still having a hard time with this. I am sure all of the parents around the country that have had to deal with this tragedy are having a hard time dealing with this.
Its all to sad.

So, she calls me yesterday to say they called and offered her the job.... contingent on getting these (above emails) back. WTH.

Lame. Look at those questions.

OMG! Is she getting a job with the CIA?

 

[jordansmomma]

Well Cat have fun with that....

 

[sunlover13]

Hi girls!

Cat - I'd make your friend fill it!

Do employers really do that?

I've had the same job (knock on wood) since out of college. I don't think they contacted any of my references.

 

[Angelhalo]

OMG Cat that is lame. I don't think anyone has ever called any of my references.

I just got home been out running around. Had to pick up a few things at Wal-Mart and return something at Officemax.

I got a call about a job while I was out and I have an interview at 11:30 tomorrow morning. Keep me in your thoughts around that time. it worked for Cat!

Now I need to get off my duff and start packing. I have been avoiding it and now it HAS to be done. Gonna take the laptop upstairs with me though!

 

[CathrynRose]

Cat - I'd make your friend fill it!

.

I did.

Then (did you see at the bottom, my title, company, etc?) I left that off.

She writes me back - says she wants to know that. I told her this:


(she asked what my title is at *company Lora worked at*)

If you will refer to the questions you had asked, I stated I worked with Lora 7 years ago. Lora, herself had worked for the city of Wheaton.

Although I do understand this is a background check, I myself am not applying with your company, nor do I feel comfortable or feel it is necessary to provide my personal work history, as a reference for Lora.

Have a good afternoon ~

She has me fill out an OBNOXIOUSY LONG questionaire and then has the gaul not to have read it??? I didnt say I worked with Lora at **** ! ! !

She writes me back and says -

Okay, that’s fine.



Why we ask is because a report is submitted to ******* and the professional reference are listed with where they work and their job titles. I didn’t realize that you have worked with Lora for a while. It is just for the benefit of knowing what your professional career is and how it relates to the applicant.

Meanwhile - Im on the phone with Lora. Guess what they asked her in an email?? Oh come on - just guess!!! "What company does Cathryn work for and what is her title?"

I told Lora she's lucky she wants this job, because I was gonna tell her to *pee* off. She went behind my back! LOON!

So - I then sent her this:

I am a Technical Director, with 3 Network Engineer's below me. I work for a Technical Support Company.

Im a director with a staff of three. Cool!

 

[CathrynRose]

I got a call about a job while I was out and I have an interview at 11:30 tomorrow morning. Keep me in your thoughts around that time.

WILL DO!

Im gonna need thoughts Thursday at 11am!

 

[Angelhalo]

OMG LMAO Cat those people have some nerve!
