Oh really do tell the sorted details?? Did you have too much to drink like INcubus did and have a hangover? Wow wish I was there, I did nothing absolutely nothing. There's no gay community here in NJ to speak of!! Its all about the men gay men that is. Looking to move out in a couple of months to a more of a gay community!!

I am taking Damon back there tomorrow for for a quiet birthday celebration.. He LOVED that place! So I am excited.. and hope I can get some work done in the house

This sounds so nice! I hope you have a wonderful time! I love funky little inns and B&B's and such. Glad to have you back, too...sounds like you've been busy, busy!

It's been hot and muggy here so I haven't gotten as much done as I planned..but got a little done at least. I'll just have to work a little harder at making progress in the rest of the week.

Hope you're all having a good evening

dark crystal, I am just thankful not to have to wear steel toed boots and a hard hat to work anymore. That sort of work got rough on my back and body as I got older, plus the lifestyle was running me ragged. I went to college in the evenings and worked during the days to obtain a Bachelor's in computer science - graduated when I was forty years old. Best thing I ever did for myself. It has made my life a great deal easier, plus more money. And I love my job. That is why I always encourage people who show interest in education.

Maybe thats my problem too.. Its very humid... I have had problems this past 2 weeks with coughing alot.. I went for allergy testing.. they shot me up with all these needles of stuff I am allergic to... lol.. yep I tested positive to most of it... so my arm swells twice its size I have to go on prednisone.. and my system has absorbed all that crap.. lol...

I go Thursday to start allergy shots.. Hope I get better soon.. cause this cough is for the birds....

Sigh.. I want a house wench!!

Becca... who has to go back and make the bed now that the dryer has stopped...

Becca ....as a needle-phobic that just sounds helllish to me...poor you!

Be careful with the prednisone too. My mother was on it for years and has some pretty icky lasting repercussions from it. Tricky, because it's kind of a "miracle drug" at making people feel better in the short term...and the negative effects come later. Do some research if you haven't already. I know that keeping the dose as low as possible helps...

Good luck! (and ugh...you just reminded me that I was gonna strip beds today and didn't )

MidnightBlueEyes,

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time with allergies. I am with JustJo in that I cannot stand needles. I don't pass out or anything - they can stick me all they want but I cannot look at the needle. If it comes to you needing to give yourself shots, how will you be with that? I suppose I could make myself do it to get better.

JustJo, did you get your fair share of the donuts? *grin*
I ate a glazed Krispy Kreme about an hour ago. So good! They are my favorite donut.

Best Wishes to you MidnightBlueEyes and I hope you feel better real soon.
Brock

Hi kitchen dwellers, seems like its been awhile since I was here huh? Guess I've been so into watching videos on YouTube that I haven't been paying attention to the Planet (which I apologize for).

I hope your all doing well, just wanted to stop in for a quick hello

Good Morning Lipstix,

I am going for an Associate's Degree in Nursing, registered nursing is the area that I am looking into. I will be attending the local community college and then I am going to try and persue my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. I will have two of them, one from DeVry and one from the community college. If I feel up to it, I am going to try and get my Master's Degree in Nursing. I feel like DC, I need an education intervention. Once I am done with college, I more than likely will be moving back to Orlando to work. The Lake Nona area is becoming a huge ass medical center with several well known children's hospitals opening...

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone

I am having a heck of a day already...grrrrr....running on about 4 hours of sleep, it already feels like it's 90 upstairs, and now my work computer has locked me out and I have to wait (but still work) until 8 a.m. west coast time until the BT guys and gals show up for work. Ugh. The only good news is that I don't have any calls that require me to be on my computer this morning...so I guess that's something

Putting on extra strong coffee and a tray of danish and scones.....and going to kick the computer again.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Brock,

I have my first Bachelor's Degree from DeVry University, but the field I chose has since died and living in Florida with 17 years of work experience and a Bachelor's Degree, makes most employers push your app to the side...They told me that I was over qualified...That is why I am completely changing my degree...I am going to get my Associate's Degree in Nursing and then possibly get my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing..

Have a good day,

Zimmy

Hey Zimmy, I commend you for starting college in August. You are a smart lady to pursue that path.

I am a huge promoter of education.

Thanks for the coffee - got to scoot!
Hope all of you have an enjoyable day!
