[77ed]

On another sad note, our family cat died yesterday. Her name was Willie (short for Willamena), wow, now that I just wrote that, I think it finally hit home She was 25 years old, and had been a loving part of our family for a very long time. She was named after the bartender on a cruise my family took when we were young. We came back from the cruise and found her alone under the deck in front of our house, and adopted her.

Every Christmas for the last 6-7 years we would wonder if Willie would still be around the next one, and there she would be. She had been looking pretty bad the last few months, and had a stroke yesterday and that was pretty much the end.

So tomorrow at the St. Patty's Day Parade I will be doing a shot for our family cat. Here's to ya Willie, hope you're having fun up there in Pet Heaven

P.S. I'm 32 now, we found Willie when I was 7 years old. That's just unbelievably crazy to me, I can't believe how long it's been, and how much has happened in that time. Crazy, just plain crazy.

I know how you feel bro. My thoughts are with you. On October 12, 2006, I lost my baby(His name is Drag, we were big Drag racers). He was a 13 and a half year old Golden Retriever. (He is the one on my avatar) My wife (1goofy1) & I got him when he was 6 weeks old. So many great memories that nothing in the world could ever buy. Just remember all of the good times and laugh at the bad and try to make it though.

I am really happy today because today was the day that my school choir went to a choir festival. We performed in front of a panel of three judges and they rated us on everything about our performance. We got the highest ratings on all of our songs. We turned out to be the only blue ribbon school in the county. It was really exciting.

Welcome 77ed! I think that you will fit in well here. Even though I can't really share your love of beer.(I'm 11) Hope to see you more on the boards.

On a more serious note, I'm about to head out to NC. My Dfil was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. We are going to spend the weekend with him and take a family picture while he is still feeling ok.

Talk to you all later.

Ami,

I feel for your DFIL. If there's anything we can do, let me know.

Ami- I'm so sorry to hear about your FIL. NTSammy5 & I lost our mom to cancer in 1994 - it's not a happy road to travel. I will keep your family in my prayers. Hang tough! ♥


Colson- Wow! Your family must be champion pet owners to have dogs (especially large breed) that obtain such long life spans. I'm sorry for the loss of your life-long fur baby. Those of us who own or have owned pets understand how deep the pain can be when you have to say good-bye. My love to you and your family. ♥

Hugs to both of you-
Debbie

Well - - - today I start a second job at Home Depot as a cashier. I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing, because HD is our "toy store".

But - with DH out of work, I do what I have to! Okay everyone.... sing along with me:

I owe, I owe,
it's off to work I go!​

We're in a position where DH is making more on unemployment than he would working part time anywhere... and most places around here are only hiring PT help. When unemployment runs out, I'll put his lil' butt to work at 3 PT jobs!​

I'll try and keep up with you guys... but... that's another job in and of itself!​

[Gatordad]

good luck Deb. Rog and I will be in later with a bunch of mis-marked products to see if you catch us changing any of them there stickers.

 

[2goofycampers]

OMG !! Can you imagine what this world would be like without Home-Depot ??? What would all of us guys do ?!?!?

Congrats on the job...my dh begged and I do mean begged my dd to get a job at Home depot, and whenever she got a job as a 911 dispatch he was so disapointed that Home Depot didn't call her.

 

[We4mickey]

Deb, I feel your pain. My hours were cut at work. I kept thinking it would work out, but just last week started another part time job at Menards. It is just like home depot, but not all over yet, mostly midwest. I'm telling you it really sucks to get up at 3:45 am. Today is Saturday and I was up at 5am, yuck! Problem is I can't do anything in the house because everyone is sleeping.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Is it just me, or are the women that work at home depot SEXIER because they know their way around tools.....and Im not using the word "tools" as anything other than actual TOOLS!!!

 

[Gatordad]

there was a cashier at the one in stewartsville nj, she had a way of wearing that apron.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

They should make a "Girls Of Home Depot" calendar
