    Trying to make mud-planters on a slope that was so steep you couldn't plant on it, let alone stand to plant on it.  I'm trying to think of a way to redeem myself today!
    AAaahhhhh!  What a mess. This post was edited by Merlin at July 18, 2018 10:52 AM MDT

    Caring too much about my job, giving 100% when others gave way less than that and didn't care, working late and often working double shifts with no break in between, often without food or anything to drink, always being the one to help out... that was a mistake because the moment I was unwell, and the moment I complained of stress they turned round and kicked me in the teeth.. I didn't let them get away with it but they put me through hell. I will probably not get as good a reference as I would have as well..but *they* were the ones in the wrong.. 

    In hindsight, all the times I went in to help, all the times I left my family, my daughter to go in to help, all the times I went in when I was unwell - those seemed like a good idea at the time and I NEVER thought they would do what they did... but the truth is we are ALL only useful while we are useful and the minute we aren't they will stab us in the back...

    Double Stuf Oreos. Yuk.

    (My favorite part of the Oreo is the chocolate cookie part - - why don't they make a Double Crust Oreo?)

    My daughter likes Oreos but hates all the weird and in her eyes deviant varieties. I once bought her some golden oreos and some double choc ones she acted like I had almost tried to poison her.

    Ha! Your daughter and I are the same about Oreos! I look at the grocery shelves and yell "Just give me the regular original Oreos!! They're the best! The rest are stupid!"

    That still is making me smile. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    I can send you all the crusts that I don't eat.  I twist them off before putting the rest of the two original Oreo's together.  (Quadruple stuff)

    Did you know the filling has been found in lab tests to be addictive to certain insects?

    Trying to remain informed on politics and current events. The media and various sources make it next to impossible. It’s all biased and I give myself headaches trying to find the truth.

    Involving the sofa in my gymnastics practice at home. I don't know why I thought that would be a good idea but I was just a little goober at the time.
