@Missk_2022 you have to do what you feel you can cope with. I Chair our Community Association so like the local Council. I just accept that I ain’t going to keep even a majority happy. They turn up at meetings and I let them bitch before saying ..okay I am closing this down and this is what we are going to do. The ones who say thank you make up for the majority who don’t. But, do you know what, without people like us nothing gets done and I am gonna leave this place one day. By then I am determined this community will be better for my footprints so I am going to do it anyway!

I also chair other things and they are all the same by the way… it’s why I have more time for dogs than most people!

Smile and wave… smile and wave MissK
Excellent advice, G! 🥰😘
 
We used to run around Santa Fe when I lived out in west Texas….wife and I sort of joke it’s where we fell in love. Love it out there, just amazing landscapes. The plan was to retire back out that way…life though…got in the way! 😂.

Another wee Irish band…not a traditional song but one you’ll recognize.

Still gutted she's gone
Magical voice
 
She is saying love me love me...YOU WILL LOVE ME...hahahaha

Yeah... it is going that way.... why do people do that.... i say what I mean and I say it like I meant too... I don't need people to translate my English to their english.... to try to help me....did I ask for her help....NOPE

And she laughs the whole time like I am her fucking child..... it is maddening
Do you need a posse to stand in the back of the room and glare menacingly at her? I nominate Wat, W, H, G, DKA, BSK for starters. I will watch over Mrs H while this fun fest goes down! 🤣🤣
 
So sorry you're dealing with that, Miss Potassium. To me the worst part about a personality like that is they drive good people away then look around in confusion when only the dregs are left working on the project and things are going south. *sigh*

For me personally it's decision time. In early February I had a mini-meltdown and quit the job I'd had. I threw a ton of applications at Indeed. Then I heard from a security guard company, and interviewed. They do a lot of training before putting someone in the field (a major plus) and I've seen in the last week just how much they see themselves as a team. Someone calls out sick, or has a schedule conflict and the others try to figure out covering the shift before the supervisors step in. Very cool. To advance very far I'd need to get certified in firearms (training that's valuable for more than the job, mind) and take an armed position. I don't want to be in a situation where I might need to shoot someone as part of my job (I know, I know the odds are very against that happening, but you strap on a gun for your job you accept the risk that you might have to do that). So it'll be two months or more of very part-time work to get my company badge while I train. On the other hand, I was contacted this week (before my security card came in) by a company I thought had passed me up. It's a utility-locating company and their training is 2.5 weeks, paid at my starting rate starting on the 24th. They pay 10% less and don't have as clear a path of advancement. On the other hand it's shift work, forty hours a week, and wouldn't interfere as much with seeing my kiddos. I know which way I'm leaning, just putting this here to get it out of my head.

Apologies for the wall o' text. Hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
Looks like you have two very viable alternatives, K! I used to make Pro/Con lists when trying to decide on a job. Because of the unquantifiable intangibles, it's not always an exact science but getting your thoughts down on paper seems to help. Then you can sleep on it and make the best decision for you. 🤗
 
When you want to reply something so much you can't sit still but....it's the wrong thread.
Reminder: My DMs are open 😁
Even for a redirect on where this sucker lands :LOL:
I hid on pi day..... i was afraid of the attack carbs
Oh no! I never thought of that... honestly, the only pie I ever really liked was a homemade quiche (where I omitted the Swiss cheese b/c of an allergy).
I had my first slice of apple in years this past year. Think that's about 6 desserts this year so far - unheard of amount of sweets for me. I'm more a savory person.
In will soon be going to meet my cousins for a little St Patrick’s Day celebration. Although I am mostly Scottish I have a small bit of Irish in me.
Sure and aren't we all a wee bit Irish today? 🍀 :LOL:
Oh, my mother's reaction when her cousins mentioned there may be a wee drop of the Scots in with the Irish.
That woman was 100% invested in being 100% Irish :LOL:

Let me know how I can help... Maybe start a wall of pink in front of the gents? Two-prong attack support??
We'll need a rush on those pink lady gang jackets.
I have to laugh at the weather around here. Today, right now, it's 65F and sunny. Forecast for the next twelve hours? 4-6" of snow and wind watches.
Ah, Spring
Or as I call it Migraine Season (averted so far today but was close)
 
Heh, the decision got made for me, or nearly so. The guard company contacted me to ask if I could work tomorrow (post site, no serious training needed) from 6pm to 6am. I could do that, though not easily. Then they had me scheduled for four 12-hour shifts next week during the day. Apparently I hadn't stated clearly that I was looking to stay on one shift so my sleep schedule doesn't drop out. So utility location it is. Just need to find someone to check on my cat while I'm training out of town. The guard company's scheduler was surprisingly understanding and took me off the schedule right away after clearly stating that if I have time and want a shift to reach out to them.
Cool! Maybe you could do both?
 
We were home by 2 and other than some initial pain, she kept up with her meds and did walk some. Today she’s supposed to be walking 10mins out of every hour but she’s backsliding already. I’ve gotten on her but we were both worn out from sleeping on the couch last night and all the interruptions. So I gave her some slack…I’ll crack down as the days move forward! 😂

Thanks for checking up on us and for the info! Sitting around today, I found this…I hope it posts….

I love this! And the PINK guitar! Guy has a serious pasture poodle groupie! 🤣🤣

Try not to do too much backsliding. It can be insidious.

I have been doing some genealogy stuff and though my mother is 100% Norwegian has a lot of Irish some Swedish and some German. I would say 50% Irish, but I would have to look again to be sure.
 
No home care for mom today or tomorrow. They are already starting to flake. When I heard how much they get paid I really can't blame them for prioritizing life outside of work. $10/hr isn't nearly enough to put up with me in the background. I'm sure it was me that ranger off so soon. J/K

Up for awhile tonight watching the weather. Made extra room in the basement for chairs and such in case we have a yellow brick road instance.

Mad chicken pot pie tonight with basil and rosemary before they went bad. Beef roast tomorrow with potatoes, carrots, celery and a dab of wash-your-sister sauce. No, we are close to Alabama but not that close.

Can you call the agency to request additional care days when scheduled days are missed?

Did you have some wild weather? One of my friends was worried for me because of weather reported in Texas. It was in the eastern part of the state so I was safe!

Your dinners sound yum! 😋

I have to say that when it was going down I wish a few people were there to help me.out.... I did say that I didn't appreciate being mocked about standing up for principles and what I felt was right....
