Wolfy, sometimes the purpose is not to arrive or catch, but to pursue and move.
And, about the job, it will come. Check in your employment office, who has the monies from the gov to assist people over 50 seek and obtain and retain employment. I worked for the organization here called Mature Services. Each county has their own state based program from federal monies. I think they are claled Title XX monies. People DO want the wiser, more mature, more reliable worker. Some fields are better with this than others. Did you get my feedback on your resumes?

The outpouring of love and support from the people of the small town where I work to the family of a 22 year old soldier killed last week in Iraq.
Today he came home for the last time. Escorted by numerous police and fire departments and over 75 Patriot Guard Riders. People turned out in large numbers lining the route from the airport in Charlotte all the way to the funeral home in Concord. The procession came through downtown Concord stopping briefly in front of City Hall where the mayor presented keys to the city to this young man's 21 year old widow and his parents. Everything in downtown came to a halt for this young man. Everyone from the courthouse and all the businesses downtown lined the street. Despite the large crowd it was nearly silent while we waited. The sadness was almost overwhelming - it was like the buildings and the sidewalks under our feet were mourning. There were the old men in their veteran's caps and jackets from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Scattered through the crowd they came to honor a fallen brother. The very tall older gentleman, obviously a veteran, standing silently...the look in his eyes will stay with me for the rest of my life...as the crowd dispersed our eyes met and I saw in them the pain of everything those eyes must have seen when he was a young soldier. |

How is it that I send a text, realize I didn't word it right, and now I am in the dog house and being accused of backtracking? Can't someone just say something, then realize it didn't come out right, and want to correct it? Seriously?
I hate text messaging!!

I have found that people, most notably myself, make mistakes. And if I want forgiven, I have to forgive others when their mistake upsets me when it wasnt intended to do so.
So, I have Do-Overs. Yep. Undo a text. Put words back in your mouth. Send back the alcoholic drink you ordered for me (in recovery) I never heard you just say your ex in Tx was the best lover you ever had. I hope this becomes a trend. relationships are hard enough without the pressure of always needing to be perfect in them. Now, malicious ignorance or indifference is NOT the same thing as a simple mistake. Assholes dont get Do Overs. They might sneak one or two out of me before I figure them out, but once discovered, they are awarded a Medal of Distinction...based on their personal lack of character....

List of things I have to take care of. I need to find the motivation to do it, but I am also feeling social tonight, so I am struggling between the two.

How things can change in a year..
The look on the face of a customers son, when I walked out to the loading area, in my blue/black/white print dress, white soxs, mary janes and helped his dad load a 54in NON flat screen into the back of the pickup truck.. Lol... *Now sir, what I want you to do is drop down between your knees, with your back straight, and on the count of three, lift straight up, using your legs* It took one min.. they had been out there for five, trying to figure out how to wedge one side up so the kid could get his hands under the tv.... grin... Never send a man to do a womans job... How I wish this cough/cold would hurry up and be done with so I can love on my girl... I get hot and it starts a coughing fit... I miss her... I wonder if my bonus is going to be worth all the time that I've been putting into work... What am I going to do if It's not... A friend of ours is trying to sell us on Grand Junction as being the most perfect place to live... No humitity.. not a lot of snow/ice... not too hot.. water, mountains, trees, gay community... How funny it would be if we ended up back in Colorado.. we both lived there in our early twenties and liked it, but forgot about it... I have to be back to work in 9 hours... I just got home...

I'm going to make today a joyful day even if it feels impossible right now. Sadness has a place but not at work. So that part of me needs to CHILL right now.

BFPers, I need your help!!!
I have to do a critical research paper for a class and I can choose any topic to defend. It has to be verifiable (I can find research and sources for my arguments and rebuttals). My first choice is an argument for comprehensive sex education in our schools (citing studies I've read and can find again on low pregnancy and STD rates in countries that DO have comprehensive sex ed). A woman in class went on and on about how it's inappropriate to have sex ed in schools because it allows parents to be lazy and I just cannot allow that. But, I saw the woman next to me writing her list of possible topics and one was why they shouldn't allow a mosque on Ground Zero. The errors in that statement from "mosque" to "ON Ground Zero" made me contemplate writing an argument for why the community center near Ground Zero is vital to upholding our Constitution and freedom ideals. Or, I was also considering gay marriage or misogyny (the Misogyny thread inspired me). Thoughts? I'm leaning towards sex ed. It will make the very conservative class uncomfortable without actually starting a brawl. I'm worried the misogyny thing would go over their heads completely. I am open for suggestions, too!!!! |

Water aerobics. That way, when you sweat, it will wash off nicely and you'll stay cool.
