Wow good luck Tabby! What a load to lay on your shoulders. I'm glad for you the day is almost here. It always amazes me when companies hire "professionals" at big bucks who know nothing about the company or business but can and do suggest where money can be cut [usually by cutting out the little man's job who works his ass off therefore making the other remaining little men's jobs even harder]. Right now being unemployed doesn't sound that bad to me. [though on a perkier note the guy I talked to from Geico yesterday to combine our auto insurance policies told me I can say my profession is housewife which gets us a little bit of an added discount!] Good luck tomorrow - I'll be thinking of you.

right now, thanks, serate! oh and we have geico, too. just got our latest statement today and our insurance "only" went up 1,000 bucks for the year after ds' accident. oh well, our old insurance was higher than geico's is currently-- even with the increase for the accident. we only have to pay 6,600 a year for car insurance. holy cwap! but AAA wanted 7,000 last year and the accident--if we still had them-- would have us at at least 8,000 bucks a year today. so you can see i do need my job, especially as son's expenses run 1,000 a month already. i shoulda had kids in my 20's rather than my 30's!

right now I was shocked to learn that my insurance would go down $50 per 6 months by moving from a small town of 300, "big city" of 19,000 20 minutes away to the US's 16th largest metro. I figured it would be higher being in a lot larger place. The comment about being unemployed was me! Your story brought back the horrors of working in the ammunition plant that I quit 23 months ago to take care of my mom. Not only did they higher somebody to come in an evaluate everybody's work, I had the lucky job of gathering all the data, making all the charts, which in turn were viewed and "showed" the Commanding Officer and Plant Manager where we could "cut" to save money. So as we lost clerks, laborers, checkers, etc I'd get the cold shoulder and rude comments. I just compiled the numbers the checkers gave me - if they wanted to lie so be it, there was no "Check back" on them. I won't lie, and even if I fudged the numbers they could find it so easily. So I'm not really looking forward to going back to work. Mamie - that's so great about your mom! Reader I can only say : GOOD FOR YOU!

Right now I'm trying to decide on whether to call my dd or not. Haven't seen her on line all day but I'm hoping no news is good news.

awwwwwwwwwwww shucks landi! but ya know what? you're probably happier not having to deal with all that money, you got your house you wanted, your new 0% interest fridge, and a date for Holly's braces to come off!!!!!! Much much better than a billion dollars. did that help any?

Right now... jumping for joy!! DS lost the @#*@*# remote, I have an old 'universal' remote, but cant find the @#*#@ code... I even went online.. if I knew the model number, maybe they could give me 3 simple numbers (170 btw!) uggg.. but searching my "important" paper hidey holes I found a book, and YES!! It WORKS! For some reason we couldnt manually turn the SOUND DOWN!! You can manually change the channel on this 27in Panasonic tv, but not the sound?! Finally!! *sigh
