Kyle wrote: "Down boys. Cool heads prevail." I am quite cool Kyle, you unlike my new best friend Squire, understood the meaning of my original comment about Baseball, which was meant in a bit of fun. I have not once dropped to the level of personal insult, nor will I. But I am a Taurean and will not back down.

So...you're full of bull?

I understood your original comment fine, I was simply having fun, which you seem to be incapable of doing, but I still am. I'm a Capricorn. I have no idea what that means, but maybe it explains something or other.

And you've attempted to insult me a couple of times in your posts, but they were poor attempts, so I'm not surprised they weren't noticed. In fact, you threw the first one.

Anyway, I wasn't aware that I was your best friend, so I sent you a request to make it official. In the meantime, just calm down, take your meds on schedule, and learn to laugh at the world (and yourself while you're at it.) It really does help.

Now join hands and sing 'Feelings'.:)

The show dropped that same spoiler, and it's only on season 3. I haven't read A Dance with Dragons yet, so I was pissed too.

I try to stay away from them, too, Squire. But I've really enjoyed the group, and thought most readers would be more considerate than that.. you know?

Thank you, Courtney.:)

Not a rant....

I'm very discouraged!!!!
I had a job interview the other day, and the lady that interviewed me said she'd give me a call the next day to let me know her decision. Well, she never called me. I guess she didn't like me....
Yet another place that hasn't given me a job. :-(

I HAD AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww Holly, sorry to hear that! Happy Belated Birthday Aaron

Thank you, Janie, my friend!

@Holly

My heart goes out to you, Holly.

Happy (belated) birthday, Aaron!

I am very sorry to hear this, buddy.. Did you ever call them back, inquiring into the status of said position? A lot of times that will tell the employer whether someone truly wants the job or not.
Who could NOT like you, anyway? As far as I'm concerned, they are missing out!

nowadays, they always say that. remember, you can't even walk into a business and shake someones hand, and ask if they have positions available. no more paper copy of an application. everything is by computer, so people don't have to deal with you face to face.

sorry, you didn't get it; that just means a blessing is around the corner. don't block the blessing, be ready for it!! Go, Holly!!

Thanks guys, but I have good news.....it turns out that I did get the job!!! :-D

Thanks again for the support!

A big CONGRATULATIONS, Holly! I'm happy for you!!:)

Rant:

I fear I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. If certain issues are not attended to, I fear for my sanity.

Thanks so much Aaron!!!!!! :-)

I hope everything's alright with you..

My pleasure, Holly!:)

No, unfortunately it's not. But I will fight until it is alright. I'm stubborn as a mule and I intend to use to my advantage.

Depression is likened to being in the jaws of the black dog.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that everything works out and gets better. I'll keep you in my prayers. :-)

Oh wow GRATZ HOLLY!!

@Holly

You are such a great friend. Thanks.:)

I am incredibly sorry that you're going this right now, Aaron...:(

Yeah, right.

What are you talking about??

::resists::

Congrats Holly! You so deserve it!

You're welcome Aaron. Always remember that I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

Thanks Janie and Lee!!

I know that, my dear friend. ☺☺

Insomnia again tonight.

I seriously don't know what I did to upset you, but whenever you're ready, I'm all ears..

What was so unclear in my message? I don't get it..

just leave it alone, Dustin. not worth the typed letters...

i like straight forward people. If someone ticks you off, say what you gotta say privately and then move the hell on. no one cares, if you don't like someone Aaron, but to make it look like Dustin is harrassing you or whatever is tedious and childish. Tell him by private message if he is pissing you off and then let it go.

done.

Well said Alondra!

On to a new topic:)...hate drama minded folks. Making it sound worse than it is. And being accused of lying. Let's just say yesterday stunk! Luckily this is all at work & I get to leave at the end of every day.

Why do in-laws have to be so infuriating?!

Holly wrote: "Why do in-laws have to be so infuriating?!"

because you can't kill them...you can't cuss them... you can't give them the evil eye... you can't backhand them...

You always have to suck it up and pretend like things are okay. Sorry, Holly; but it is so true. I do speak up when someone offends, disrespects or is just totally out of line. I speak up so that we are ALL on the same page and they know where I stand. After doing this many years ago; My mother-in-law actually comes to me and says, "Michele, I know you will tell me the truth..." ..and she proceeds to ask a question.

i hope things work out; but do not allow disrespect or slighting of you to continue. You deserve respect to. :)

Agree!! I don't bring work home ever... it gets left in the parking lot. If you work in an office full of women, then it is inevitable. sad, but true. :/

Thanks Alondra. You're awesome! :-)

I echo holly! Thanks Alondra. Or should we say Michelle. I do work with a bunch of women...live the time clock. I view it as my exit pass. Leave whatever happened here. And it resets itself the next day:). TGIF

What, your name is Michelle, book-sister? I had no idea!!

Holly wrote: "Why do in-laws have to be so infuriating?!"

What's wrong, Holly??

Life is fucking cruel. My Uncle was killed in a car accident, and my cat takes off.

Nothing's wrong buddy. It's just that sometimes my nerves get frazzled by my mother-in-law.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry to hear that, and feel bad for not seeing your post until now..

No worries buddy. :-)

Why can't in-laws just mind their own business every now and then?!

I know, that can be super frustrating at times..
