what kind of worker?

Hi,

Thought the topic to interesting so wanted to reply. I chose my hours 6 p.m. to 2 p.m because my husband works steady 11 p to 7 a. He sleeps in the evening so thought it woud be a good time for me to work. Then when winter started, which is only noticeable by the light) I started 5 p to 1 a. Works out good for me and like it because I always have some work under my belt for the next day. Also, we get to have our days off together on Wed. and Thur. Working well so far. In summer will probably go back to 6 to 2 so I can swim.

....moving the bird feeders to in front of my office window!  I just love watching them all and seeing what else comes out of the woods for some seed and suet.  Lots of red squirrels and chippy's, the occasional cute grey mouse, and I guess even deer, but I never see THEM, just the tracks and the "raisinettes" around the feeder.  Our neighbor gets tons of wild turkeys at her place, as well as racoons, flying squirrels, and skunks!  She goes through about 50 pounds of black oil sunflower seeds as well as 25 pounds of dog chow (for the skunks, racoons, and larger critters) a week!  Can you imagine?! 

My other neighbor has a wild Merlin falcon (a girl named Helln Fury), who he caught and trained himself.  Very cool bird.  Can't say I've ever seen one 'round here but I guess they do exist, you just have to know what you're lookin' at when they are up in the air. 

Love the wild critters and glad so many others on here appreciate them too!

You need either the converter box or a new TV that by law has to have digital in it.  I have a new TV and I scan the digital part of my TV.  I get maybe one station every few days, so obviously I have the capability otherwise I would not get any digital TV.  It is the reception as I live in a rural area.  I do have to get a roof top antenna.  I was wondering what type of worker does that?  When I look in the yellow pages, all it has is satellite and cable, nothing about antenna installers.  I was wondering can just a handy man that I would hire install one or do I have to get an electric contractor to do it.

I posted the other day about where I had seen that social worker before, and couldn't find her on the cast list - wouldn't have helped if I had.  I was watching Sally Field on the Boniva commercial and it popped into my head.  Social worker was on that Boniva commercial where those 4 women were supposed to be being quiet in a museum.  Isn't it funny how the brain works?  - haha - especially mine.

No one has come by yet, but it's only Monday, but I did get the house cleaned with the help of my son, his girlfriend, and two of his friends.  I took the advice below about shuffling all my ex-husband's junk to the garage.  He has a fixer upper car in the garage anyway, so I just piled stuff around it, on top of it, and in it.  The garage is a complete mess, but we don't live in there, so whatever.  My son and his buddies cleaned up outside the house too.  We had about 10 bags of trash for the trash truck this morning, but they took every one of them.  Thank goodness!!

I'm way more calmer now than I was on Friday when all this crap broke loose.  Thanks to everyone for calming me down.  I'm ready now for when the social worker stops by.  I saw another officer over the weekend at the gas station and he asked me about my situation, asked me if my ex was ever served and then told me that he was proud of me for finally getting rid of him and that he would talk to his boss about this whole "social services thing."  He said his boss (who was the officer at my house on Friday) doesn't really know the ins and outs of the community like the officers do and he'd make sure he let him know that my ex is the one causing all the trouble.

So that made me feel better too.  I just can't believe how ugly this is getting.  I guess I'd better prepare myself because it will probably get worse before it gets better.  The divorce is just beginning.

I could think of dozens of adjectives that are *stronger* than smarmy but probably not permitted to be typed at this website...

GMTA = great minds think alike, eh?    

Classic? Country? Rustic? Modern?

Butcher-block (or lookalike) would work for country or rustic. Stainless steel would work for modern. Tile or slate could work for most styles, depending on the design.

I have a Corian-type solid surface countertop which I like. It does scratch fairly easily, but the scratches are easily buffed out with polish unless they are really deep.

public service or something, probably about reporting it.  Brooke was on at the very end making a little speech, but I actually didn't hear it.

Usually every year my husband's family gathers here in Central Florida at the beach.  However, during the hurricane season of 2004, the condo that my uncle owned timeshare in got damaged to the point of being condemned.  So now that we have to actually PAY for a condo, this year we have decided to head up to the panhandle which is halfway between the FL family and the AL family and in the same town as one of the aunts, namely due to gas prices and Lord their drive used to be 10 hours, no fun with kids.

As for us, we will be heading up there which we don't usually do.  However, both myself and my husband work from home so we might put gas in each vehicle once a month?  We also own a boat which we put gas in but this year we're telling friends who want to come out and go wakeboarding that they're going to have to chip in for gas.  As an FYI, boat takes 87 and not great gas mileage.  I drive a truck that takes the cheap stuff but gets 19 mpg and less while towing the boat.  Husband drives a sportscar that takes 93 BUT gets like 25-28 mpg, to say the least we will be driving his car to the panhandle in May!

Sorry to hear you are in the same boat.  It's funny because until you feel or have felt that way, it's hard to relate.  I truly feel that I have tried everything in my power. Now he wants me to try again and I just don't think I can change the way I feel.  We recently went to a Christian marriage counsellor that his mother wanted us to go to and he kept telling me that it is my choice how I feel toward my husband.  It isn't.  It's like a response to something bad for you I think.  Your body tells you to spit out bitter things because they could be poison.  Well....I think maybe it's the same type of response!  Like, no this isn't good for you, get away from it!

What kind of biopsy did you have and when did you have it?  Out here (Virginia) I had a stereotactic biopsy on a Wednesday morning and the results at noon the next day.  At the breast clinic here everyone comes in for the results.  I liked knowing the very next day, regardless of the outcome.  You know - the percentages are actually in your favor ... all the research I've done indicates 80% of biopsies are benign.  I had one 4 years ago that was benign.  Please let me know how you're doing.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

i had been bying vitamins from wal-mart.  then i went to GNC and talk the gal that works there and she recommended GNC brand ultra gold which i do take when i think about it.  but their vitamins are so big, they almost gag me, even the smell gags me.  supposed to take two a day.  they are loaded with stuff.  just wondered what ya'll take.

ps:  can't tell a difference in my energy level when i take GNC vitamins.
