Hukd is a brat! I'm a vegetarian. You won't catch me eating meat at a cookout! I even uncovered the one place in all of the fair where they'll make you a "garden burger." LOL! Just read thru the thread... Pamy, I'm so sorry to hear about Bill. But yes, sometimes, things work out for the best and I'm sure he'll land something soon that's even better!! (And where they won't work the poor man to the bone!)

Congrats. on the promotion, Pamy. Real sorry to hear about DHs layoff. You are a terrific wife to be looking at anything positive instead of getting sucked into the negative thing that happened to your family that you had no control over. I'm wishing the best of luck to him in finding a new & better job! Until then, he should draw that well deserved unemployment. My DS got layed off last wk. He & his wife live in the Houston area & he does electrical const. work (he's just a laborer - not a contractor) at those big refinery (etc) plants that they have down there. Anyway, he got caught answering his cell phone (all they say is they saw him on his cell phone) and got fired on the spot. They wouldn't even let him explain that he only answered his phone because it was his wife and he had left her home sick that morning (wife works too & had actually called in sick). It's been only a wk & he has a job interview tomorrow. Hopefully he can get back to work soon because he didn't have his last job long enough to get any unemployment & I've actually had to step up to help them pay for things (they've only been married since 4/24/10). I talk to DIL & DS both each day to try to keep their spirits up.

I'm sorry that happened to your son Deb, I wonder if they used the cell phone as an excuse to fire him, bc they actually had to lay people off and wanted to save themselves from someone collecting unemployment--I don't know, but it seems more motivational than cell phone to me. Good luck to him in his job interview, I hope he gets it.

I think if there is corporate policy saying you can't do something (like use a cell phone) and you do, then it's grounds for immediate dismissal. Yeah, that totally sucks, especially since it was his (sick) wife calling. But he could have looked at the phone, seen who was calling, and went and found his manager to explain he needed to make a call. That said... no cell phones? Really? Is it a safety thing or just a random policy?

thanks guys - it was corp. policy "no cell phone use", & they were looking to lay off. Still sucks! My kids are trying to start off a positive married life & this happens! My DIL has chrones & has been in the hsp 2 times in 3 yrs with it. Stress will activate this problem!

Debra (and others), Scooterrific says hello! And says it's nice to be missed! I guess to bring it to a gripe, she can't access TVCH from work, and darn it, that means she can't chat here like she used to!

Oh heck she's a bigger brat than that. I know where she went (she sent me pix from last year) and she did NOT TAKE ME WITH HER!!! And LOL... you're that close to Logan? Cool! Looks like we're gonna have some sun this weekend, so I may as well just stay put. It's still not in the 70's yet (currently it's only 68) but at least there is SUNSHINE!!! Dang, this California girl gets really crabby if she doesn't get her daily dose of sun!
