Question----------I am full of them!!! teee...heee....How else would I learn anything?

Could I just go and check out someone's Face Book page without joining? Like JB's?

I DO NOT want to join--did it once on a whim--and was bombarded by all kinds of
people that "wanted to be my friend".....One of them was long dead--I knew that for a fact......
That is when I realized that these people did not really "want to be my friend"--many of them I never knew!

All this e-mailing/inviting was automated--and no actual person was involved. Kind of a downer....
Dealt with this annoyance for close to a year--than had my daughter find her way to
where she could delete my membership. It is NOT easy!!!

To be honest---I am so hooked on DG that i really do not want to start getting involved
in another addictive Web Site. Much of my time is spent right here!
Besides--I have nothing interesting to post anyway. My life is pretty hum-drum.......
Just me and the people I work with--that is, pretty much, my "social" circle...
Can't call work environment "social" anyway. But--I DO like 90% of all the people i work with.
The rest are too "invisible' to be 'friends" with an old lady like me.....

I don't text. I don't twitter (whatever that is?), I don't even use my Cell phone!
I have NO I-phone or no downloaded music to listen to. The best i have done is copy a CD..

BUT---I do not act, or think, or talk like an old lady. I am pretty "with it"----and get along great with
most people no matter their ages. There have been a few that, no matter what, we just clash.
We are all different----with different personalities and interests and values about life.

Even our 3 Asst. managers--and our new Store Mgr. are really young.
They are ALL younger than my two daughters! (47 and 44).
Young is "IT" when it comes to HD. I don't think we have ever had an "old" manager in the 14 years I have worked there.
Rightly so--"Young" has energy and goals and commitment--and the drive to get things accomplished.
All those traits got them where they are now.

How many people, at age 28, could be a Store Manager of a huge store like HD?
Out new Mgr. is one of them. Cool and calm and very dedicated. BUT--he gives me hugs almost every time i see him.

Much more "human" than Donn. I do not even miss him--what a revelation....Thought he was the cat's meow....
Then all that, slowly, faded as frustrations and even anger too it's place.
Never thought I would feel this way! He was, truly, lacking genuineness and the ability to connect with anyone.
He went through the motions--but none of it was "real"....
It is almost painful to now listen to all the negative comments most people have about him in our store.
But--I have chosen not to live in denial about all that--for it is all true.

AAAHHHH! I feel a lot better to be able to chat about all this with you all--my friends.
I have NO clue how some of these writings evolve---one though just leads to another.....and..........

Remember this picture?????? I will cherish it--no matter what.
