You IS yet? I know you said you were going back in soon when we talked Friday. Then I hung up on you 'cos I saw Jeff coming up Dort Hwy., LOL. You no longer mattered... ;D

....just don't want to get our hopes up....prepare for the worst, for when it happens, we won't be disappoined.

My boyfriend and I did a lot of research on this before we decided which way would work for us. I got the passport card. Good for 10 years, took 3 weeks to get. $70. My boyfriend, the actual OTR driver, got the Michigan Enhanced license. $80. Good for 4 years. From what we know right now...

Yes, it is a sign of the Apocolypse. Nah, season's still early. They have plenty of time to mess it up. Don't give all your stuff to Tibetan monks just yet.

The year I skipped, no longer office manager at the veterinary hospital, but rather working in the safe, non-people confines of the credit union processing center...my late husband had his first heart attack in February. I of course went to ER with him where all these people were running around...

Yeah, I don't know what they are used for either, but every time I do anything around this place, THERE THEY ARE....

I didn't used to either, til that fated winter when the associate veterinarian on staff put his baby in daycare. Then he started bringing all kindsa germs in from that Crumbsnatcher Corral, and my coworkers and I spent 3 months always sick with.something. The next fall, our boss bought us all...

It's that time of year again. If you haven't gotten your vaccine yet, now is the time. We go so many different places and are exposed to so many different people, protection is a good idea. Who hates being 1,200 miles away from home and having to go OOS for a couple of days, only to have to go...

Look at it this way...if you drive around this great country's freeway systems and you haven't heard "scraaaaaape scrrreeeeeeech thunk!" from overhead, then you're cool. In Texas, can't help but notice some of the overpass height markers."22' 6" " or "24' "... is that required by law at that...

All I know is, as Jeffman looks at tractors to plan for the future, he always points at the interior photos and says, "Your stuff will go here"..."See? There's more than enough room for both of us"..."What do you think of this layout Lisa Lou Hoo?"....and so on. He tells everyone: he loves...

Too true. Jeffman and I had this conversation this past weekend; his oldest nephew just turned 22, and the others range in age from 4 to 18. They don't know rotary dial phones, black and white televisions, reheating food in a conventional oven. They will never understand how we got along without...

I never held a union job in my life. Forgive me for studying hard, being an honor student, going to college, securing the best non-union jobs out here, marrying well, saving smart, paying off a 15 year mortgage in 7 years, retiring at 42, learning how to enjoy life again after the death of my...

YOUR TAXES DO NOT PAY MY SURVIVOR BENEFIT. The insurance company through Fidelity Investments guarantees my payment. You have no say in this debate because you have no ideas of the inner workings of the OPTIONALLY INSURED benefit program. You could say, "Gee, I didn't know that. I stand...

A fun fact: my late husband spent the last 22 years of his 33 GM career at Orion. When he hired in at the factory's opening in 1984, there were 5700 employees under that roof. When he retired in 2006, there were 1800. There was a time, in 2000, that there were only 3 employees in the entire...

See what you don't know? My survivor benefits are covered by a separate insurance policy that my late husband paid for out of pocket. If one doesn't choose to insure their pension then their survivors get nothing. Your precious taxes aren't supporting my $12,000 a year survivor pension. That...

Say it say it....dare ya :D. For full effect, you should have quoted my entire post, not just pick and choose what part of the text you felt made you look good. Now...back to the subject of the original post... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo...

You miss the point again. I am talking merely cash that is spendable. Yes, with all the benefits the total compensation is over $100k. But one can't pay a mortgage or buy a car or groceries with their Blue Cross or Legal Services benefits. To state they "make" over $100k is true but...

No, I didn't "conveniently" leave out the benefits compensation. People hear the entire package but they never hear what the cash compensation is. Now they know. Did I make as much as UAW/GM workers with my college degree? No. Did I whine about it? No. That's just the way it is around here. I...

Sounds like easy work, huh? My grandfather was killed on the assembly line. Many people suffer repetitive motion injuries just putting in "nuts and bolts" for 30+ years. Standing on one's feet 8 hours, not moving from their workstation. Performing the same task over and over, 63-78 times an hour...
