Coffee Break #33 - Let's Go Lily!!

I hope that is her case too.. she owns a pet supply store and works way too many hours .. running running running

How sick is this? One billion dollars. And a moat! Good thing money is not tight these days.

What the? That's incredible! Grrrr. (re: embassy bldg)

Celeste - all of your girls are so gorgeous! I can see some of your features in the Bride of the Year! Wow.....that menu is making me hungry! And the table decorations are just perfect. It's going to be another classy, lovely wedding!

Harper - Congrats on the neat job! I'd have fun doing that too! Your lemon leaf looks great! Good job!

Sherrie - yikes! Hang in there!

Great job Haper, enjoy the new job.
Allison, hope your sister is ok.
Where's the $ coming from to pay for that eyesore????
Seen that one, Allison, and I was just telling someone about it too, funny.

Wow - I'm going to stop reading, listening to news, etc. Read a story (and watched a cell phone video) before about a middle school in Canada where two teachers were lap dancing during an assembly. The woman was seated and the guy was grinding and simulating acts on her - all in front of the students. It's beyond sick. I'd like to know where were any other teachers and administration.

Here's the link. You can just read it or watch the video also.

Nothing on the web is private. Someday they might find it will come back to haunt them in their careers.

Hopefully their careers are already over.

When you were young did you ever do anything stupid, annoying or plain out of your head? Oh I have and I will come back with the money episode but at a time I can really put a picture on it.

This goes way beyond that. I hope you agree.

You would think teachers would want to set an example, that was beyond what should be going on in front of the students.

Did I ever mention before??? Not a great idea to work with your spouse. UGH. I'm quitting or firing him, either way it's getting ridiculous.
I put a person on hold when hubby went to get it the guy wasn't there. Started freaking out how I hung up on a potential customer...blah blah blah.... I'm like I DID NOT hang up on him, he probably hung up...did you ever make a call and then a more important one comes in and you hang up???

I said if he was really interested he'll call back...sheesh

"Oh You like throwing $ away???"
What?? give me break.

I would never want to work with my wife.

Yeah, I don't recommend it.

The school should not allow that. If they were of age and some place else that is a different story.

Look at the what was it the La Duke students? They supposedly raped a girl that came in to do a girlie thing. I bet money they are still taking the brunt with their lives and careers because of her.

She is now being held on a million dollars bail for all the stuff she has pulled. Those young men went through ........................................

or a friend, only bad things can happen - my brother keeps hinting to open a biz together - just not going to happen

I have seen more relationships/friends/partners bite the dust for getting into the triangle thing. You would have to understand where I am coming from.

How horrible about the SeaWorld trainer! What an awful tragedy.

I just saw that on the news! Horrible!!!

And all the people were watching. Hate to have kids see that. They'll never forget it.

Allison - how is your sister doing?

Victor - that teacher thing was shocking to me, having been a high school teacher three centuries ago. I think back to the assemblies we had, and I just cannot imagine that happening. How about that massive firing of most of the teachers in a Rhode Island school? Something's fishy there.

Jen - sorry about your bad day at work. One of my Dad's great pieces of advice to us was "Never do business with family and friends." I think often of that when various situations arise. Hope it smooths out for you! Tell Hubby to shape up!! LOL

she is getting a stress test & echo gram tomorrow.. but they said she might have had some kind of hormone problem with her (yes we are back to that subject) menopause ... still going to run more tests.. time will tell

Thinking good thoughts for her, Allison!

Me too!

thanks... now I guess the snow is going to dictate if we have a party or not.. sheesh

So sorry sweetie. :(

That's a bummer.

Was stunned this AM to find out our friends and neighbors are separating. They're married 20 years. 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter. Very sad.

I hate to hear that...I can't imagine after 20 years what happens....I'm lucky I guess...

Sorry to hear that, Victor. Now in our 22nd year, Hank and I have both now been married to each other longer than the first spouse. Boy, the time flies!

Sorry Victor.....yes I agree Luvs, im very lucky!

that's terrible.. I always feel for the kids too... never good for them

Thanks, all. Yes, it won't be easy - especially on a young teen girl.

My parents divorced when I was 14. I'm a train wreck. No, really, I'm fine. I vowed never to get married unless I would never get divorced. That's a hard promise to make.

Sad

sorry to hear your friends victor - hopefully they will be civil and that will help the kids - my oldest was 8 and my ex was/is mentally insane and the kids have the scars

now on a happier subject i am finally picking up that ring i got my wife for christmas today - it has been in for three different ring size adjustments - hoping this time it fits - hey it has only been 3 months!!

A new ring is always nice!

I can't belive we are getting more snow! Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to go out in it. I need dog food and I have to go to work...

Raining and I have to go out for dog food and other stuff.

just got notification from Amazon that the new complete guide of japanese maples by vertrees/gregory shipped - i ordered this about a year ago - looking forward to receiving it!
