to keep all your little critters safe if you're like me and have an animal that is scared of loud noises.  There are lots of animals that get injured around this time of year (especially in shelters) from fear of the noise that fireworks create.  There have been dogs that have actually jumped through windows trying to escape from the noise.

Not trying to bring anyone down, just reminding everyone to keep your little ones safe.  I have to give Rescue Remedy to my dog to keep him calm because he is so frightened of loud noises (thunderstorms especially).

Have a safe and happy 4th!!

- so I stayed home, and can see a ton of work listed, yet my job list is EMPTY! 

I hate when this happens!  They cry for backlog to be caught up, yet we can't get to it to do it.  Meanwhile, ANOTHER holiday wasted in front of the PC waiting for work.

I'm trying to find the name of one of the performers on the evening of the Fourth who sang God Bless the Child (I think it was on the show where the President attended).  Does anyone know who that singer was?  I missed the first half of her song and they did not announce her name again at the end.  I thought it might have been Brandy but I haven't kept up with celebs lately. 

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number.  I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian.  I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them.  I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring.  She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good.  I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring.  I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also.  I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for  me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs.  Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier"  phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card.  She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep.  (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing).  But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.

I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will.  Management works for us!!  Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us.  It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center,  One time won't make a difference."  But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference.  It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem.  That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.

a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun?  I haven't been on one of those in several months now. 

As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it?  I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc.   Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through  some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone.   Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months. 

Anyone have any success with eharmony.com?  It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through! 

Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*

I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972.  (I didn't vote when I first turned 18).  GIRL POWER!!!!  YEAH!!

I looked all over this article and could not find a date of publication.  Everything vaguely says "later this year.'  Which year?  The only thing I could find on the entire page was 04/08/02 under the author's byline, and at the very bottom of the page, a copyright of 1995-2002.  When you click on the link to discuss the article in the forums, the new page never loads.  If you look up all other articles by this author, they are all dated 2000-2002. 

I think you are getting upset over nothing.  Call Time Warner directly and ask them what their plans are.

My twin granddaughters, the dynamic duo, (17 months)  who will be spending the rest of the weekend with Gram and "Aunnie" (my 11-year-old).  Can't wait to play and spoil, spoil, spoil!

I probably will be in bed and sound asleep after they leave Sunday at 7:00.  :)
