Morning all HATZers
Hi Kevin, nice to have you here!!!
Penguin your doll sounds fantastic! My grandma makes dolls. They're call dammit dolls - They're shaped like an icecream cone sort of (wish I had a picture) and they've got two legs and big puffy wool hair and googley eyes,
They're called dammit dolls - because they're full of stuffing and aren't breakable you can whack them against something while saying this poem that comes with them.
She was in hospital because she has breast cancer and she started making them then. Now she sells them all around the place and donates all the money to cancer research. What started off as a hobby has now turned into a huge fundraiser for cancer research. She sells the dolls for $5 each and she's made
Hey Max - good to see you!!!m Hows Dayzee??? I watched the videos you sent - I'm at work and am almost wetting my pants at my desk - that first one was so funny!!!
Jane - yum where's that chocolate fountain from - can I have some too?
Etimee - loved the shower thing....So true, I don't understand men sometimes - I always put two set of shampoo and conditioner in the shower - one for me (the nice expensive conditioning ones) and one for my ex (the cheap brand) But he'd always use my expensive beautiful girly shampoo claiming he didn't know the difference...Men!!!! (No Offence Max)
(((RAE)))
I'm sorry things aren't going perfectly at the moment - but just let your sister keep looking and keep praying - I will also pray that you find a fab place that you have no problems in getting!!!
Well - HATZ fans, I've caught the janeeyre family bug!!! I'm sick as a really sick thing. Sore throat, sneezing, coughing, want to be in bed eating icecream watching friends, charmed or will and grace!!! But with only a couple days left of work - I had too much to organise here for after I leave so here I am - poor little sick dreamz with a red nose and watery eyes....hmmm every mans fantasy, I'll bet!!!
Hope everyone is alot healthier than me - love you all!!!

When you feel you can't go on
And need to scream and shout
Here's a little dammit doll
You cannot do without
Just grab it firmly by the legs
And find a place to slam it
Then as you know the stuffing out
Yell DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

Rae, Good things happen to good people...and it will happen for you. You are in my prayers.
Dreamz, I hope your cold doesn't last too long, but keep the colors of your life bright even though you may feel grey!
Paula, when I first got that Shower email, I too mailed it to friends family and acquaintances. Too good not to share.
Kevin, did I tell you its nice to have you back? Yep, I think I did, I'll say it twice.
Well everyone...
finally my dh came home! 
My good friend here says every time he comes home, she feels like a jilted lover, lol, because its like I drop off the face of the earth. So if I don't check in as regularly or at different times, that's why. Always on my mind and in my heart my HATZer's! 
Love,
Etimee

Someone's having a bad day! Better her than me! Maybe she needs to get to a meeting!Thought for Today:
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is.

BTW...I went on-line (just out of curiosity) to see what was described as "atrocious". Heck...it's not all that bad...actually, I don't owe anything...'cause it's all been "charged off".
I know, I know...very irresponsible of me, and probably inexcusable. But, I'll never live long enough to make good on everything, and (especially since my health failed) I had to choose between meds and living expenses or "paying the piper" with those exhorbitant interest fees. Got myself in way over my head, much of it to help out my kids from time to time over the past ten years...felt like I was drowning, so I bailed out. Now, I'm facing the consequences.

A press conference is being held as I type this. Nothing new...same old, same old...repetitive rhetoric from a certain arrogant someone who just loves to hear himself talk. I'm mentally tuning it out...just grateful it didn't come on during my soap opera!
Guess I'll go occupy my mind with some on-line bridge.

Happy Wednesday/Thursday!
Dreamz, I'm so sorry you're sick now....here's a nice bowl of chicken soup to make you well again....
That is so cool about your grandma and those dolls--look what one person can accomplish!
I hope you all have a good day/night.
May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow.
May the soft winds freshen your spirit.
May the sunshine brighten your heart
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you.
And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.
Take care, everyone--
Jane

Hi HATZ wearers around the globe,
I've missed you, having been posted over on the Alcoholism board (and of course, being the perfectionist that I am, trying to be the PERFECT Community greeter, which means not much socialising time with this fun colourful group here....waaahh!!
)
But, lets catch up:
Rae----I feel for you. I have bad credit too and it feels so limiting some times. I just try to accept life on life's terms, and remember that I am a good person and I make wiser choices today. YOU are an awesome person with the BEST credit in my book!!
[B]CONGRATS C'est!![/B]
Now I have to run back to9 work..Rats! This was not enough of a catching up!!! See yall later

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Miss C. I admit I messed up my credit in the past...and, now I have to "live within my means" and pay cash for everything. Which means if I don't have the cash, I do without...but, that's OK, because I don't need much to be content.
My hope for different living conditions will be either someone who doesn't require a credit check (the last three places didn't), assisted living (which I think is more liberal), or back to the nursing home. There are always options...I just need to be patient.

OMG -- I want to make Dammit Dolls, they sound great! I'll keep them in all the corners of my house, why make um, I can order them from you! When I was a kid that was when you knew my mother was mad, she would rap her hand flat on the table three times (always 3x) and say, dammit, dammit, dammit. Ha ha ha, we all laugh about it now, but you knew to stop whatever you were doing and right quick! What a clever lady your gran, she should sell them online!

Sounds like SOMEONE is going to be a very busy Penguin until Christmas!
How is the weather out your way, Jane? I saw on this morning's news that parts of Colorado are getting a lot of snow.
Paula called today...I could hear Kai, and then Griffin in the background as we spoke. I'm "waiting out" some kind of intestinal virus thingie...the doctor says there's nothing for it but to let it run its course. I told Paula I was feeling so "out of it" I was sleeping through my soap opera...now that's bad!
This pretty much describes the way I feel today!

Hi all
Unfortunately my "cold" got the better of me. I was running a really high fever and had to be taken to hospital yesterday morning. I went to bed Wednesday night at about 8pm and all night I was waking up in hot flushes and cold sweats - really restless sleep full of nightmares. My alarm goes off at 5:45am and by that time I knew there was something wrong. I couldn't walk so I crawled (half crawled-half rolled) to my sisters room and started crying, Luckily for me she's very responsible when she needs to be splashed my face to get my fever down and tied my hair back and took me to hospital.
They took care of me there for a while and I was much much better by lunchtime so I got to go home!!!
I feel alot better today - its my last day at work and I'm ready for a fresh new start.
Ohhhh Thank-you...just what I need!
We miss you too miss C, but I bet you're being the most PERFECT community greeter ever so don't worry and keep doing a great job!!!
I know they're fabulous!!! I'll try and get some pictures and if anyone wants one just PM me your address and I'll send you some. It can be a xmas present - because they really are special!!!
Rae - hope you're continuing to hang in there. I have faith. I know its easy to say but God never serves us more than we can bear. It seems so tough at times but you've got a great attitude and I know you'll get through it. Your strength amazes me, praying for you Rae.
Hope everyone else in HATZland is doing fine!!!
Love you all
