Darn money ....

1. Hello

[ffm172]

4. Hi

how are you? :hi:

I missed you

[xmas74]

10. Been having a hard time getting on the computer at night.

Bosses have been around most of the week. Not thrilled w/ the part-time job right now.

[ffm172]

12. where are you tonight?

dispatch or Motel?

How have you been otherwise? How is your little girl?

[xmas74]

13. Motel.

I had to work days the other day here-no sleep at all for about 2 days straight. I was not happy w/ one of the phone messages. They invited the owner to the annual * donors dinner. Won't pay us shit but they can afford to donate on a large scale?

Callie is fine. She is now completely enrolled for summer school.

[ffm172]

14. I bet she is excited

sorry to hear about your working schedule. That really sucks. You can tell where his priorities are, huh? :eyes:

[xmas74]

15. She is really excited.

And his priorities suck.

BTW-I am cutting off all of my hair on Saturday.

[ffm172]

16. how long are you having it right now?

and you better take a pic and post it :)

[xmas74]

17. It's halfway down my back.

I am cutting it all off and donating it for charity. My beautician either does Locks of Love or Wigs for Kids(both take the hair and make them into wigs for children who have medically lost their hair). My Mom is doing it too.

I want to shave it all off and my full time job is in support of that(really was shocked there). My part-time job says that they will not allow that to happen-it does not bode well for "look" of the place. I contacted an attorney that I know will look into this for free-if she says that they cannot touch me then I will shave it completely off.

It's just hair-it will grow back.
And my hair grows really fast anyways.

[ffm172]

18. that is so cool

I couldn't imagine myself with a bold head and I am impressed that you have the courage to do it.

[xmas74]

19. No where near as brave as those kids.

They need at least 7 inches. Mom is giving 14 but will have short hair afterwards. We made a ponytail and pulled the hair straight on mine yesterday-nearly 15 inches if I don't go bald. I hope that bald will go at least 20.

[ffm172]

20. wow

a lot of hair. And I bet you have thick hair. Mine is all thin and flat. Hate it sometimes

You are so right, those kids are really brave to fight cancer and other illness.

[xmas74]

21. Really thick and curly.

So they said that the curls can be stretched out. Between that and the thickness, they should be able to do quite a bit w/ it.

[ffm172]

22. sounds like it

how often do you do this?

[xmas74]

23. First time so I am pretty scared.

I cut it off once when I was pregnant. It was down to my rear and I cut it to a chin length bob. They donated it but that was not the primary motive to cut it. I was 8 months pregnant and we were in the middle of a heatwave so I was miserable. The donation was secondary.
I started growing my hair out about 9 months ago. It was mid-neck then and now it is nearly halfway down my back. So it does grow really fast.
Besides, think of how easy it will be to do my hair now. Nothing to it. And I don't even have to buy shampoo.

[ffm172]

24. it really grows fast

when I went to get a haircut in Feb I asked my bf if I should let it cut short or let it grow. He decided for growing. But my hair won't grow that long. it is now shoulder length and I think that is about it. Maybe a little bit more but never as long as yours. ENVY ... LOL

[xmas74]

25. Best time of year to cut it here.

Before it gets too hot and muggy. Might just have a comfortable summer this year-since the hair will be gone.

[ffm172]

26. what is Callie saying to that?

but I understand you totally with a hot summer and long hair. Sweaty neck the whole time isn't nice

[xmas74]

27. I told her about it and she got upset.

Especially when I said that her Grandma would have short hair and I wouldn't have any at all. Then I took her to the Locks of Love site and showed her the kids and explained to her that they would get to wear my hair like a hat until they were all better and could grow their own hair back. Now she wants to cut hers off too and give it to "the sick little girls".

[ffm172]

28. that is so cute

will you let her do it?

[xmas74]

29. No. I don't want to attrach too much attention to her.

If she were about 13 or so and decided to do it then I would allow it.

[ffm172]

30. that's what it hought you would do

is she coming with you when you get your hair cut?

[xmas74]

31. No. I don't want to upset her.

Besides, it could take awhile-I have quite a bit of hair and Mom's getting hers done on the same day at the same time. Too much of a wait for her.

[ffm172]

32. oh ok.

tell me what she said when she sees you and your mom.

Did you read my ym that my bf emailed me?

[xmas74]

33. I read it in another post. I need to check messages

sometime soon.

[ffm172]

34. you can imagine how happy I was when I saw his email

thanks whoever for the invention of Internet and email :)

[boneygrey]

[ffm172]

9. good night

[MrScorpio]

3. Rainy German weather

Now you're making me nostalgic

[ffm172]

6. I don't like it

I rather have it sunny and warm. The winter was long enough.

[MrScorpio]

8. Whare are you going on your vacation?

Say Ibiza

[ffm172]

11. end of May it will be some days in Poland

Begin of August a week to the Ostsee.

I want to save my vacation for next year.

[freebird1]

35. we are expecting showers, too

and I was snuggled in my bed until I decided to get up so I could visit with my friends here at DU.:pals:

[ffm172]

36. that is so sweet of you

:hug:

[freebird1]

37. yep, busted

I'm really a nice person and an old softy at heart.:hug:

[ffm172]

38. which is a lovely thing

why would you want to be the contrary?

:pals:

[freebird1]

41. to confuse everyone ?

:shrug:

[ffm172]

43. now that would make things just more complicated

and you wouldn't feel good either. But I am not saying teasing and being mean in a nice way is bad :evilgrin:

[freebird1]

47. sorting it all could be fun

me bad ? ... never !

I just like to keep em guessing about why I'm smiling :think:

[tjwmason]

39. We've got some sun

And I think that the weather is moving in your direction, so it could be looking up.

I know exactly how you feel, I think that we all need some sun to come and enliven us.

In the meantime all I can give you is :hug:

[ffm172]

42. some sun came my way

I was actually able to turn off the lights because the SUN showed up :)

Thanks for the :hug: Back at ya

[BlondieK143]

40. I feel ya!

:hug: Oh well, at least we're stuck at work with DU to entertain us!

[ffm172]

44. so true so true

It helped me through the day. I did some stuff today I try to avoid but have to do at least every two months - printing catalog cards and sort them in. Hate that chore.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Hi, ffm172,

Good to see you posting! I'm glad you heard from your bf! Sorry about the rainy weather. I've been having printer problems; last night I spent ONE HOUR on the phone with a very nice lady technician at HP who did finally solve my printer problems. Unreal. She did say that she'd never encountered my particular problem before. I'm really jazzed that it is again working...

Stay well! Have fun...

:hi:

:loveya:

[ffm172]

46. hey CP

:hi:

glad that your printer is working again. It is always pissing when something is not working and one can't find the reason. Since I have my new computer at home my old (quite good) scanner is not working anymnore. It's not working under XP. :wtf: You can imagine how upset I am about that.
