WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 20

hahaha.....you ARE sassy!!!! This cracked me up....thanks for the good laugh Angie.

I did feel a bit invaded by his request. I'm glad I turned him away.

Hmmm...maybe he is some celeb who thinks you should recognize his name and thus the "obvious".

Mom & Dad have been dropped off at the airport. I'm tired & grumpy, but just got good news from the accountant (refund ). Not sure if I will have $ prior to Hawaii or not.....I should keep that for the painting

Oh I hope you get it before, but in any case it should be deposited into your account while you are gone. I get my first social security check deposited while we are gone.

Got this message from a complete stranger on FB....how could he message me if we're not friends.....I don't know but this is what he said:

"Just added to the Hawaii group. We are not DISers for obvious reasons but if you have room for four on Champagne my wife, daughter and two aunts would love to join you. Let me know if you have the space."

Can you imagine......we are not disers for obvious reasons......what does that mean? Is he insulting us? Then he wants to add FOUR ladies that have no clue what they're signing up for....he said if you have room for four on Champagne. It sounds like we're on drugs or something. He doesn't have a clue what this event is all about.

I told him sorry, closed event because it's full. He wrote back and said to let him know if there are any cancellations. I have 90 ladies as of right now. I'm allowed up to 95, but I didn't think it was a good idea to add them.

You have to wonder if he doesn't Dis, how did he find out about Champagne girls and the Facebook link?

It probably means he's been banned from the boards...

There is more than one on the FB link that is not a DIS member.

YES you are missed a lot. You always checked in every day and responded to every post. I miss seeing you here. I understand why you don't have time anymore, I just miss you anyway. There are things I say here that I won't say on FB. I think it's that way for all of us. This forum is much more personal and it connects all the Thieves. It's special.

I do miss being on here daily, for the reasons you said.

Sad you had to say goodbye to Mom & Dad, but YAY on the refund! I hope you get it before Hawaii!

I wish 1-800-Got-Junk was in my neighborhood. We have lots to get rid of. We can't get a container up our driveway so we can't do it that way. If they came with a truck and did all the labor that would be great.
I'll have to google them and see where they are.

It's a truck, not a container. They're used on one of the Hoarders shows. Google them and see. It's really expensive, but it has to be done. I don't have a truck to haul stuff to the dump, so I just end up putting large unwanted items in the garage and now it's out of control. I'm cringing at the cost, but......I have to do it.

 

[HollyTyler]

Actually they are very good, but very painful. I've been soaking and cleaning them up so they look good....all clean....but doing it hurts like heck. This week is better than last week for pain so that's good. I still keep the right one wrapped because of the edema. They don't leak with the wrap on...it's tight and keeps the swelling down and the edema under control. But they're doing well for now.

Sorry about the pain. I know you're used to it, but still.....

I had TONS of down time today at work, so I checked out my excursions to see what I'd signed up for.

what r u doing on Oahu? Deb, John, Jackie & I are doing the hop-on/hop-off trolley, if u want to join us.

On Oahu I'm signed up for "Explore & Taste O‘ahu's North Shore." I definitely can't give that one up because when would I ever have a chance to go into people's homes in Hawaii and eat there? Such a different experience, I just have to do it! And then in the evening I'm doing the "Haunted Tales Tour." Both of those are my cheapest excursions, so they stay. Both combined cost less than any single other one I've picked.

Maybe we could have a two jeep caravan and run around Maui and play....something to keep in mind.

On Maui I'm signed up for the "Rainforest and Waterfall Hike." I'm looking forward to that one more than any other, so I have to keep it.

Then when I looked at all my excursions, I realized I CAN'T cancel any of them. They're all amazing! So I decided today I'm going to make it happen. One way or another, it will happen. After all, this is one of my bucket list trips, so I'm going to live it up!

Probably!

The boss's wife has our website up and running! Here we are: http://www.brentonlaw.com/ Check back soon because she will be adding a pic of me and my co-worker Jan, plus she'll write a little blurb about each of us.

We blew off the afternoon today because they took us office shopping! We got to tour one of the 3 office buildings they're considering because they wanted to tell us about the layout and furniture and set up they're considering to see what Jan and I think about it. I'm amazed at how much they're including us both in this whole process. They even thought about us when ordering file cabinets because he has always noticed how hard it is for us to get big files up into the top cabinet drawers because Jan and I are both short, so we're lifting the files up over our heads where we can't even see. So the ones they picked are designed totally different, instead of drawers that pull out, meaning you have to lift up and over the drawer edge, these are open and you just slide the files in. I can't really explain it, but it's a much easier type of cabinet for short people. There are lots of other personality traits of both me and Jan that they considered when picking furniture and even the layout of the office space. Wow! I totally feel appreciated and like I have a permanent home with them.

Then they treated us to lunch out, and during lunch talked about the 2 associate lawyers they've interviewed and are considering hiring, and how we get to meet them too and give our input before they make a final decision. Yup, business has gotten so much busier already that they need a 3rd lawyer. Now.......it would be nice if we had paid vacation, because it does suck to have lost 5 paid weeks. OUCH! Especially with 2 weeks off for the cruise. They just haven't had time to sit down and discuss benefits with us yet. They barely have payroll up and running and are having trouble with the billing system. But they're doing the best they can, and I trust that it will all fall into place. They're great people, and I have no doubts that they'll treat us well. It's just taking time to get everything sorted. And now with me leaving, they've had to figure out how to go about hiring a temp, so Jan and I told them which service we want them to use and even which temp to request, LOL!

GREAT things are happening!

My parents come for a visit twice a year. It's a great visit, but DH and I enjoy getting back to our routine.

Salvation Army, goodwill or even Purple Heart wil come to your house as well.

I HATE shoppping, always have, and now I absolutely HAVE to because all my summer clothes are 3 sizes too small. My swimsuit is too big too. I never thought that would happen because swimsuit material is stretchy, so I figured it would still fit because I just wouldn't be stretching it out. WRONG!!!!

I didn't realize that! Thanks!!! But it's not stuff people can use. It's broken, half destroyed, completely worn out stuff that needs to get thrown out and I just haven't been able to get it to the dump. Definitely not able to donate. For stuff that can be used, I usually post it on Freecycle and people come pick up that way (that's what I'm doing for old electronics), but this is way beyond that.

 

[HollyTyler]

See?? Whenever I show up and start posting again, everybody disappears.

Your clothes are 3 sizes to SMALL and your bathing suit is too BIG? I'm the same as last summer thankfully. I did not gain my usual 10 lbs this year.

I think she means everything is too big for her - she's been doing GREAT on WW.

I thought her photos looked like she was loosing, that's why it made no sense to me. Now it does.

Having a rough night tonight....not sure why, but feeling quite down. feel like I could start crying at any moment. I hate it when I feel this way. It hasn't happened much since I was put on the new meds, but it's hit me today.

I think I'll be heading to bed soon...maybe sleep will knock this out of my system.
