What a lovely memory you have from that night. 🥰🥰


Yes! OMG - I love the scene more out of hair washing envy than anything else. It looks like he really gives her a good head scrubbing! (Not an euphemism!! 🤨 :LOL: )

I'm related to a few... mostly by marriage (sibling's)... but a couple by blood. :rolleyes:

My last employer did that with me... dang near broke me. Swing shifts, back2back, double, turnarounds, split shifts... I ditched for that (and other reasons) and have been 1st shift ever since. Much better. I admire people who can consistently work the other 2 shifts or, like you, @Boat1, can work any shift in any order at any time.
Either I'm not built that way or I seriously burned out that cylinder a long time ago.

Good initiative 👏
Nice pic!

Oh! You mean the one from Aug. 31, 2024?
That photo? :unsure: 😂

Glad you got better sleep last night, B2.
AND a proper diagnosis - key to proper treatment 🫂

When I am 💯 absolutely positive I know the answer -
That's when I either STFU or ask a question.
It's the Universe's way of flagging me that I couldn't be more wrong. :ROFLMAO:

My mom and aunties grew up with fried SPAM (WWII babies). I remember a summer visit w/ my aunties. I think it was movie night and SPAM was in a scene. They chattered on about it after the movie. So I stopped on my way over the next day and bought a small can and some Ritz crackers.
That poor can didn't stand a chance. They made short work of it - but also made sure to let me know that 1 small can was enough. :ROFLMAO:
That was a very fun memory. 🥹

Heck yeah!!

🥃🍹🍸🍷🍺🍶☕🥓🥞🍔🍟

Sometimes change is good... signifies new life and vitality. That they requested your CV before anything was posted is a good sign in my book. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!! 🤞

So glad the birthday party was a win!
Love a good deep dive into books 🫂 :geek: 📚

that's a sexy iris!
(yes, but stop saying it with the singsong from "that's a spicy meat ball-a" 🤪)

Carriage scene with the gloves - before the kiss















I realize this exchange was not a personalized gift, but I'll thank you just the same 🫂 Needed the laughs today

The struggle is real

Nice inclusivity... thinking of you here, @Boat1 :LOL:

I lost count on the number of looks I gave this one before it clicked for me :oops: 🤭

🤫 Quiet now - I'm quite enjoying summer days in the 60s F and cloudy, rainy skies :ROFLMAO:
Just clued in that you're working nights. Hope you had a good shift and are sleeping soundly
I slept like a baby... for about 2½ hours. 🤣

That's tough, I know!
In my youth, I did factory work on a "3rd, 2nd, 1st" rotating schedule...
everyone hated graveyard, I hated rotating, so I took advantage of it and offered to stay on graveyard full time, freeing two others to avoid it.
Management jumped on it...
 
I just looked in pigeon forge and surrounding areas... 2500 to 3500 for a week... sat to sat.... we may need to do shorter.. depends on how people feel... but split up won't break the bank especially for those who will need to fly out...


We ought to be able to find us a nice double wide a few miles out town.


It may have a touch of Meth Lab smell about it, but someone can get there a day early and air the place out.


:D

Definition of a Win-Win right there.
Management at my shift job was clueless. Drowning in turnover and couldn't understand why.
I tried to clue them in but either they were truly dumb or they just didn't want to hear it :rolleyes:

The biggest issue? Several positions required a degree... the gas station up the street was hiring for a cashier... at almost $1 more per hour.

Edited: Missed my response to other quote - stay tuned :LOL:
 
So glad to be done with the good old garden fence. I fell asleep this afternoon, and when I woke up it was magically planted, and the sprinkler was running on there.

After some caffeine, I spent some time cleaning up the scattered tools in the garage and cutting up the extra scrap fence for the metal recycling.

After all that work, I feel like another nap! 🤣
