Up comeing Hollidays
 

About ten years ago I thought the world would always be a big shining place to be in,then the bottom fell out,I wont go into the long story of it but it was one hell of a drop.Because of this situation me and my son ended up near homeless,We did manage to find a cheep place to live,but it was a dump in the first order.Just to make it from day to day was a struggle,either he had a job or I did,it took me going back to school to finaly get a decent job.while I was going back to school he found a job with an Rv dealership that he still has today.Hollidays back then were so hard that I just nearly stoped even acknoedgeing them..it was just one more day to get thrue.For a long time its just been him and me..we get something for each other I send out christmass cards.Its now been five years since we managed to get to where we are now,I still have holliday blues..he thinks they are over rated( he may be right)
But I put up a fue christmass things on the mantle,the tree is 2 ceramic trees my mom and my aunt Jo made...I like to sit in the dark and watch the lights blink and remember the times whan they were hear,I learned that the hollidays are what u make of them no mater how much $$$ u may have.

I hear ya,I spent two years getting a culinary degree,I did work as a chef for a long time BUT with the job market the way it is im back to slinging drinks.The colllege degree, I polish off now and then,not shure its worth the papaer its wrote on.

good evening everyone!

on the train - homeward bound. a good shift at work today - a few things didn't go quite right but I'll chalk it up as a learning experience. a nice dinnertime convo with a co-worker. and a hilarious phone call with someone who has turned out to be a good friend. so nice to know someone has my back despite knowing all my faults! ;-)
dead tired but have a few things to do before I go to bed. same shift tomorrow - it is nice to get home early for a change.

ruth and rocking -
I just read your posts (I'm surfing on my phone and your messages didn't appear until my last post went thru).
yeah - the last couple years have been tough. I am sorry to hear how it has been for you both. but I know they will get better eventually.
we just have to tough it out a little longer.

Hello everyone..
 

Kinda a spooky story for Halloween..

First of the year i gutted my kitchen..Time for a new look..As i tore things up i was taking pictures on my progress and of course i took the "before" pic's..Well i got my very expensive throw away camera full so i took it into get the pictures developed..Couldnt wait to get to the car to look at them..As i was looking at them i noticed "Orbes" all over..Scared me and made me nervous to go home and not to mention when it got dark..I was afraid to close my eyes in the shower..I got myself real scared..Then i got to looking at them closer to try to find out when they started..It was when i tore the origional plaster off the ceilling..They literally fell out of the ceilling..They wernt there when i took the before pictures..One pic there were 12 of them floating around..Took a pic of my cat sitting on the ladder and there was one floating around her face..She didnt seem to be bothered by it..Then i got to thinking again that i kept loosing my pencil..I picked things up and put my stuff in piles out of the way and my pencil was right in there..The next day i get busy and needing my pencil hummmmm it is gone..I get a new one sharpen it and get busy and without looking for my lost pencil it showes up out of no where..Then i think why didnt i see it there..??..its because it wasnt there..Spooky Huh..Flashlights are the same way to..I buy the expensive ones to last forever..In about a month they are useless..I cannot keep a useable flashlight in this house..The batteries go dead in a matter of weeks..Maybe those "orbes" are sucking the power out of them..It is just spooky to me..

Anybody else on Spooky House stories..

Hello All,
I have been away for some time and just found thread where I feel would be good to start again.
My weekend will be quiet. No clubbing for Halloween. I stop doing that while ago. I used to be fanatic to decorate my house, not anymore either. I will hang a wreath on my door and just give out candy.

I hope everyone is having great weekend.:) It’s cold over here, but sunny.
