Then again you might want to think about that and read the thread first.

The jokes were all hilarious too. I have very little Irish in me (mostly welch with some english and scotch), but I still appreciate the humor. I guess everyone just doesn't have the same sense of humor and there's no getting around it, nor is there anything wrong with it - it just is.

OMG! Zilvy, you are the shrew?!? I cannot believe what happened to that thread! I hadn't been in since I made my post on page one. That is just very sad to me *sigh*
Zilvy, you are a ray of sunshine to me in my dreary days lately, I am very glad you have joined the party here! I just wish people would see that you are trying to make the RT a fun place to be and quit ragging on you! By the way, I'm a pollack and the best pollack jokes I've ever heard were from my dad, who'd the reigning pollack in my family!
Sorry, hinky problems again, had to boot this damn thing! (Anyone have a small boot gif I can use to explain why I dropped outta sight for a bit??)
Anywhoo, no I'm not being paid properly, haven't gotten a dime since 2/19. I really haven't talked about it much on here, just bits and pieces. I now have all of the info to finalize my complaint letter, being sent out tomorrow registered/return receipt. What kills me is that the fact that I'm disabled is not the question, it apparently is the system. I, the employee, who the dis. ins. if for is slipping through the cracks and it's really pissing me off!
I have come within a hair of having my only car repoed, barely stalled foreclosure, currently do not have medical ins. coverage because I had no money to pay it (therefore am missing some of my meds), and am so stressed out I am becoming a shrew who can't sleep!
Ok, ask me more if you'd like to, but that's all I can think of right now *whew*
I will say someone was looking out for me today. One of the unfortunate side effects of being almost immobile is that I've gained a few pounds (like I needed help there! ) Today I went off to my closest Lane Bryant, coupon in hand, and there are signs everywhere that everything is 70% off. It seems they're closing that store and trying to get rid of their stock. Almost every pair of shorts they had were my size! Not to mention there were many things I got so low, that making a profit on them on eBay will be a cinch! I figure I got around $500 worth of clothes for $100.
So now I'm only missing one more part to get my computer back up and running and a little picture taking and off I go again! I've been on hiatus since the first of the year between the computer problems (it went down just as my last batch of auctions ended) and my pain. Truthfully, I'm glad I've had the break so I could start getting better and stress about one less thing.
Ok, I better post this rant before I get booted off again!
Whoops, almost forgot to say, Pharlap box 1 went out today!

See Mouse it had to be some of those Irish blessings that were floating around today. That is sooo great to get good deals that will help you bring in some xtra $$. The joke around our house is since we became Sr. Citizens with our extra discount on sale days we will always be able to make $$ on ebay....NOT! We were selling antiques and collectibles but I have gotten away from that for a while. Just not making enough profit with the items I have. So here's looking at you and wishing you more good fortune in resolving this bureaucratic crap so that you can get your meds and lessen your stress...No one seems to realize how much stress can cause even more physical problems....except for those of us that have been there.

My goodness, I am so scatter brained!! I left out so much in that post. That's ok, it was getting rather long
Not only did the store have everything at 70% off, most was already marked down, plus they took my coupon. I usually have to put stuff back to get to the point where the coupon ($50 off $150) makes the best deal. Today I kept having to add stuff! Too funny Another customer's eyes bulged when she saw my stacks. Oh, and I kept my lips zipped as to what my plans were I just said I'd find homes for what I don't keep, LOL.
I swear, if I didn't get that tax refund, we would be in big trouble. Now if my complaint letter does any good in shaking some money out of my company, things will be ok. I just hope that my treasure trove today gets great yields! I'd get more, but the check is about gone and they had more winter stuff than spring/summer stuff. Oh, the wishful thinking though...
Ack, one more bit of news. I saw my dr. today and he's still not releasing me to work. On one hand I think that's a good thing, because I'm just barely starting to get better. But the money issue is so close to dire

the Celtic bar, I don't know if I am allowed to click a link to the site...but we can use 'em without attribution but not on ebay..
or a business site. LMAO, I was just going to post when I saw that I had addressed you as Mousse....chocolate perhaps??? Sticky keys.
One of my favorite things when I used to go shopping with coupons was to give em to somebody in line (the ones I wasn't going to use) I remember one woman couldn't believe it and figured she owed me something cause she got another 20% off if she use the coupon and her visa. We do that when we go to fast food places when the coupons are about to expire and we know we won't use em or if it is for something we wouldn't buy.
I think my face is falling off.....

Zilvy, can you email me the link?
I really felt like someone was looking after me today. Not only was I able to get shorts I can wear for the summer at an incredible price, but I will be able to help myself make money on the rest of it. I just figured out one of the types of shorts I got, I paid about 10% of their original price. I figured at most I'd get 3 pairs or so for myself. Little did I know what was waiting for me. At first I didn't even think about buying for selling, duh! Then I just started grabbing away, LOL. I'm still in shock.
When I got home, I came in and told Mom and DH, "Before you see the 6 bags, I just want to tell you I only spent $100." It took them both a few minutes to register that one! I think the most I've ever bought at once was 3 bags, and that was like $300!
Uh oh, Zilvy is crashing on us
Therp, I was beginning to think I'd bummed you out and scared you away!

You know, I got a charm bracelet for Christmas and I've been hunting for charms for it. I keep thinking I need to put a 4-leaf clover on it
I was just thinking maybe I better go play bingo soon and see if my luck lately follows me The last time I went, I came home with about $40 after paying for my cards. Not much, but hey, it paid a bill!
