My district manager, who was touting "safety first" yesterday morning, tells me this morning we can't lock the doors to the restaurant and let the rare customer in, if they show up. I was furious. We decided we will lock the doors and screw him!!! He says we may "miss someone"...heck, we're so paranoid, we're watching the doors, the parking lot, AND the street! Found out the manager of the store that was robbed got his teeth knocked out by a gun, AFTER he gave them the money, and before they were all pepper-sprayed. They all watched the surveillance tapes and are pretty sure the couple who came in earlier, to "use the bathroom" for 20 minutes, are the same one's who did the robbery, so they know what they look like. ((Trish)) - I'm glad you're getting to keep bobbles  Hugs and prayers! Amy

Amy Good Grief!! I would lock the doors also. I am always flabergasted at the stupidity of people. What a dumb manager. Not sure I can let that note my co-worker wrote go...wish I knew what to do about this. Say something or let it go or come up on it's own? It's so silly. I should just ignore it. It's eating at me though. I hate sneaks and would love to call her on it but maybe more trouble than it's worth. I can never figure out if I want to do the right thing or the easiest thing.

| I almost didn't get on to whine about my whine! Couldn't get on the internet again! I absolutely hate Verizon Dial-UP!!! My bumper sticker site has a whole lot of F-word stickers, and I'm about to use them. After rebooting umpteen times, I finally call Verizon, and get a guy who's probably answering the call in a tiny cubicle in India or Pakistan!  Don't we have an unemployment problem here in the USA!?! So, why am I struggling to understand this guy instead of a fellow-American who needs a job!?!He had me delete my "temporary files" and "cookies"...have no idea what all that meant, since I don't speak or understand Computerese, but apparently this foreign person does!!! It solved the computer error problem, but Lord only knows what I've deleted...guess I'll find out eventually. Sorry everyone's having difficulties this morning...got to go eat the nursing home version of shrimp scampi. Have a feeling I'll be back to whine in a little while!!!

| I knew I'd be back!!! Couldn't stomach the scampi..ate some broccoli with cheese sauce, pumpkin pie, milk. If I get hungry before dinner, I have cereal and banana...there are always containers of milk in the frig. My niece brought a package of frozen steaks and chicken. The Director will have them cooked for me whenever I want them. I don't go hungry...it just requires some ingenuity...and help from the outside.

Know what you mean Jerz!!!! It is hard enough for me to go through my one inch of paper mail and clean my refrigerator..throw out real stuff. I don't even know where to find the old cookies in (there), let alone in (here)!  Hugs!

My whine for today is with certain family members and friends who are quite intellectually smart but are dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to lots of other things, one being "street smarts". Asked my dad and a friend from church for a bit of help with my back rent and was told by both of them to apply for Medicaid!! So I emailed them back saying that I HAD applied early this month and due to my disability check being so "huge" (compared to the income guidelines for Medicaid eligibility) I would have to spend $304 of my own money each month and bring in proof and then, only then, could I get Medicaid. I told them both very clearly that after paying rent and utilities there wouldn't be anywhere near enough to spend on medical expenses to get the card after meeting their "spend-down" and so, am not eligible for Medicaid. So then I get emails from both of these intellectual dummies that I should apply again for Medicaid. Dear ol' dad asked if I could be put on a list of eligible people for Medicaid. I emailed them both back and said (again) that there is no eligibility for Medicaid for me and that I can't get Medicare til I've been on disability for two years. I was very polite in replying to both of them but it was really hard to scream: WHAT PART OF NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID DON'T YOU GET??? Had this same stinking problem with dear ol' dad a few months ago in describing the car repairs needed on my van, saying specifically that the water pump was leaking when the car was running and was losing antifreeze that way. Dear ol' dad emailed me back saying that "a leak in the radiator can't be that expensive"!!!! I emailed him back asking him if he'd actually READ my previous email!! I flippin' TOLD HIM exactly what was wrong but he apparently has trouble reading... and he used to be a college English prof!!! Sorry to dump all this stupid crap but I have a hard time maintaining a polite attitude when neither of them seem to believe that I know what I'm talking about!!! I was a freakin' caseworker for a welfare department years ago and know the regulations!! Sorry for this pitiful whine but I'm just ready to kick some stupid @ss here!!

| No more merlot, more mamma  |
I had tentative plans with a friend today. They said they would mail this morning to let me know either way, they didn't and then I saw them online. I just think that's rude. How long does it take to write..can't make it today??? My feelings are hurt.

Two drunken bicycle accidents. First one I tore up my leg and destroyed a brand new bike. Two weeks later I smacked into a curb and fell over into a cactus  Sawed my thumb half-way off putting a doggie-door on the house  Got hit by a subway train in Boston and walked home with my head split open. Wasn't feeling any pain  Those things happened years ago. They're part of my past, my story. Today is a new day. Tomorrow isn't here yet. Keep moving forward DG! Just do it safely;-)

| Least...this seems appropriate for the family situation.

 . I mean the nothing broken part of course. Sorry about the sprains and bruises.Demoralized feeling will go away the longer you stay away from drinking. Really. I've had many of those days and I can tell you now that it feels good not to go through that anymore. Hang in there and use this as just another reason to quit hun. You CAN do it. You have lots of support here.
