Hope they can finally clear that sinus infection you've been battling, too!</p> <p>MC - Fridays are great days - beginning of the weekend and GG day as well - usually, anyways. If he doesn't come on Friday, he comes Saturday instead :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414710 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:09:13 +0000 WillowandWindismom 414710@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, gosh, SM - food poisoning just.... ummmm ...... sucks. But I'm assuming by that they don't think that you have the flu, so that is a good thing. The bad thing about food poisoning is that you get so sick you just can't see straight, but it's generally over in 24 hours. And just think of the weight that you will lose! :-)</p> <p>Drink some herbal teas, water, gatorade, and be sure that you stay hydrated.</p> <p>{{{{{{{{SM}}}}}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414708 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:03:21 +0000 cricketsmama 414708@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>(((SM))) I hope you feel better soon my friend.</p> <p>Just eating dinner now. Had to go to the grocery store and I still have to unpack all the unparishables, but have to get the kids in bed first..no wonder I am tired..lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414707 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:01:09 +0000 mollycat71 414707@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>SM, hugs and prayers your way!

I have bacterial gastroenteritis--such a nice name for food poisoning. I also still have the sinus infection--nothing new there. Another antibiotic change. Hoping to head to perfect health. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414695 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:33:14 +0000 mollycat71 414695@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Friday is a GG day! YAY </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414693 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:25:02 +0000 GreatDane 414693@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I like the people at the new job, too, actually! There are not that many - two bosses (I only really deal with one of them) and 4 appointment setters.</p> <p>As for GG, at least I've been seing him a bit outside the gym so quitting here doesn't necessarily mean I'll never see him again.<br /> Tonight's a non-GG night and we didn't text, either :(<br /> He should be here tomorrow, though :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414678 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:53:20 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 414678@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hear you GD. Very important that GG is there! ;-) </p> <p>I don't like my current job either but it pays the bills and I like some of the people I work with. I am thankful I have a job in the horrible economy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414677 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:44:57 +0000 mollycat71 414677@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>yes GG is VERY important! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414676 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:44:05 +0000 GreatDane 414676@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We've always done contracts you can cancel with 30 days' notice and no initiation fee. This way people aren't too nervous to sign up and usually once they join, they stay.<br /> The last thing we need is higher prices!</p> <p>Karin, I don't really enjoy either of my jobs. I like the gym because there are some nice people there (and GG!) and the new job I like the chance to make a bit more money. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414673 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:37:24 +0000 Annie R 414673@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD sounds like you are doing great at your new job, persistence pays off. I can tell by your posts that people respond well to you. People skills are way underrated, but for most jobs people skills and a good work ethic make all the difference in the world, no matter what degree or technical certifation you might have! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414670 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:32:08 +0000 mollycat71 414670@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>FH, lots of gyms by me have gone to that. Pay as you go, no obligation. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414668 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:29:24 +0000 FondaHonda 414668@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wow, GD, that doesn't sound like such a good move on new bosses' part especially with the way the economy is going. Doesn't he realize that people are cutting back? It seems like the gyms around here with a 'pay monthly as you go' with no contract are very popular. People are uncertain of their employment and don't want to be stuck in yearly contracts. You might want to mention this to him (if you feel comfortable enough to do so) as a new incentive to get more people in the doors---NO CONTRACTS, PAY AS YOU GO!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414665 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:27:01 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 414665@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay for MC and Tina on the man friends. Glad you have found someone who so far is good for you.</p> <p>Congrats GD on getting an appt with Tiffany's!! That is great! 60 hour week is a lot of hours so I hope that the new job works more and more for you. As my Dad says, if you have to work, do something you like doing. Unfortunately for me what I like to do doesn't pay enough to live on (so I save it for the day I win the lotto or inherit enough that I can work at a job I would rather be doing).</p> <p>30 minutes till I can leave..yay! Stomach is not happy with me and I think the milk at work doesn't agree with me. I drink organic 2% milk at home and I have no problems with it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414662 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:24:49 +0000 GreatDane 414662@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yep!</p> <p>The new idiot in charge at the gym went and raised the prices for membership yesterday!!! In addition, he added an initiation fee for every new member!! We had trouble getting new members before - it's going to be near impossible now! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414654 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:16:39 +0000 mollycat71 414654@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Not to mention it gives you more confidence in yourself at your new job! Doing happy dance! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414635 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:00:20 +0000 GreatDane 414635@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks ladies!!!<br /> I'm tired from working 60 hrs. a week but it's worth it so I can get my car fixed. I wouldn't have been able to working just 30 hrs. a week at the gym. I'll have to work both jobs for a while longer to pay for everything, but that should help me make a better decision when the time comes. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/4#post-414631 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:56:33 +0000 mollycat71 414631@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Am in HEAVEN! Just sunk my teeth into my first tomato from my Topsy Turvy Tomato planter thingee! It is sooooooooooooo yummy! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414624 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:52:24 +0000 Kilroy 414624@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Go GD!! Yay! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414623 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:51:27 +0000 mollycat71 414623@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>YAY! You just had to give it time </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414622 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:51:19 +0000 cricketsmama 414622@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>yea GD!!!!<br /> I have to run to the grocery store for some items...the come home and eat..fun..I did all my nightly chores already so I am happy about that.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414620 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:49:39 +0000 GreatDane 414620@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>:)<br /> It was funny - I called them on my second day there and got a call back on my voice mail. The bosses were impressed they'd even called me back. I called the lady back and then didn't hear anything back from her. The other day I was going through my old messages and noticed she'd also left her email address for me, so I emailed her. We emailed back and forthe for the last two days and now she's set for a meeting next week.<br /> The job really does get better when you've got people calling you back.<br /> I'm calling a lot of the companies for the second time this week and am hearing back from a few of them. Maybe this job will work out after all.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414613 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:41:25 +0000 mollycat71 414613@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Whoo hoo! Tiffany's! Now that is impressive! A toast for GD! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414608 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:38:56 +0000 GreatDane 414608@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>Tina I'm so excited for you!!! John sounds like a great guy - I'm so happy you found him!<br /> MC - glad your date went to well, too! YAY!</p> <p>SM - swine flu??? Yuck! I hope you feel better soon!!! </p> <p>I'm tired today and anxiously awaiting the weekend!<br /> Drove the borrowed car today and though it's older than mine with more mileage, it drives really well, so I have no complaints. It's taking some getting used to, driving a smaller car (mine's a Jeep), but that's not a problem.</p> <p>Had another good day at the new job this morning. For the second day in a row I booked 3 appointments!! One was with Tiffany's which was a big hit with the bosses!<br /> The gym is quiet so far tonight. So far the new guy hasn't been able to bring anyone new in the doors in the about 3 weeks he's worked here. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414594 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:15:03 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 414594@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hey me too!

I'm so happy for those that find it "later" in life again!.... two of mine and Hubbs' best friends (54 her and 60 him)... have found "a whole new world"....... she was a widow at 45, and he went through an unpleasant divorce about 5 years ago....... they both play golf with us of course..... </p> <p>.... I would always see her practicing on the putting green when we would go out for our "couples" tournaments - she was in the ladies league with me.... finally one Sunday I asked her "why don't you play with us?".... she was like "right, like with who?".... I said - hey, if you want to play, I'll get you a partner, we have a handful of single guy friends of Hubbs that "stands in" when one of the Hubbs is out of town or something, let me call one of them for you"..... so she said ok..... I called the guy, and said "hey, one of my lady golfers needs a partner, are you in, he said "sure"..... so the next Sunday they played together..... fast forward a month later to the next couple event - there they were, partners again.... and the next month and the next month.... from there, they were "seen" at the club having dinner together, seen boating, going to parties together, and have now become "quite the couple".... does it matter that she is 5'11" and he is 5"5"? no!..... they are so cute together, and act like a couple of teenagers!...... I just love happy endings!........ </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414588 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:02:49 +0000 mollycat71 414588@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>CM! You goofball! FF might agree with you. He was sure that after his nasty divorce there would never be "anyone else"! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18988/page/3#post-414586 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:01:47 +0000 tinafishfrombirthplaceofElvis 414586@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Let me tell you, love at 50 is pretty incredible!
