Hi All,
The funniest thing happened to me yesterday.
I took my car for a car wash. They did a lousy job vacuuming so I decided to vacuum it myself. My daughter and I were at each side and were taking turns vacuuming in the back and then we started with the front. I decided that the console need to be vacuumed because my husband eats sunflower seeds and although we have a cup so that he can dispose the seed shells in it, all the seed shells end up all over the place. Anyway, I'm sucking up seed shells, while my cell phone was in the cup holder, I hoovered the vacuum hose over the cell phone and up it went. I was so suprised. I gasped and tried to get the phone. The vacuum was still on. I even went along the hose and tried to feel if it was still in the hose. My daughter was laughing her head off! She IM'd her boyfriend using her SideKick 3 and told him my embarrasing moment.
So, I had to go inside and let the On The Run employees know that my cell phone was sucked up by their vacuum. Luckily there wasn't any customers inside so it was a little easier to tell them what happened. I approached the guy like this "um, um, my cell phone was just sucked up in the vacuum" he looked at me with half a smirk and said "that's hard to believe" and I said "well, it's true." He stood in amazement for half a minute and then walked into the back room to talk to another employee. Now, three of the employees are talking. The first guy comes back out and says "was your cell phone skinny" and I said "yes it's kinda small" and the guy that was in the room walks out and over to me. I explained what happened again he was smiling from ear to ear. We walked over to the vacuum. I told him that the vacuum hose did not have the front connection on it and the hose was exposed. Then he understood why my cell phone was able to get sucked up. I thought I was going to get my phone back several days later but the vacuum container did not have a lock on it and the guy was able to get my cell phone out. What a moment!

Was Mugged!
Hi All and TGIF,
This morning at 6:56 a.m., my daughter was mugged. The creep took her SideKick Slide cell phone. Thank God she is ok. No force or weapons were used. She's just a little shaken up.
She left our home this morning for school and called her friend she rides the bus with to let her know she was outside. During their conversation, the guy snuck up behind her, took the phone and ran off. My daughter is a track runner and instinctly wanted to chase the guy but thought about her safety. We called the phone company to suspend service and called the police to make a police report. What else can we do?
To the mugger. (I know he isn't going to read this but it feels good just to write it down)
Get a freakin job so that you can buy the things you desire just like all of us law abiding citizens. Situations like this really makes me angry. To know that my innocent daughter became victim to your lazy, greedy, selfish, and criminal tactics. I hope the police catch you or what you did to my daughter hits you ten fold!
Keep safe everyone!

Hump Day!
Hi All,
Happy Hump Day!
Hump Day for those of you who doesn't know what the saying means, and no it doesn't mean what you think it means. It's a saying to describe Wednesday. The middle of the week. Getting over the hump of the first half of the week and getting closer to the weekend.
Yes. For me, knowing its hump day makes me happy! The week is almost over. I know that it seems like time is being rushed but I can't help it. I would rather be doing something I like. Even if its laying around watching tv all day, going to the park, taking in some sun or just taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon. These are things you can't do during the week when you are at work for eight to ten hours.
Anyway, I got to get back to work!
Happy Hump Day!

Teenagers. A Prayer.
Hi All,
Teenagers. God help them. Help them view the world in a different and good light. Help them understand that parents, adults and people of authority don't restrict them from certain things to hurt them. We wish them all the best. We try to guide them into the right path. A path into adulthood of responsibility, morality, decency, patience, and righteousness. We all know that along that path is a world of corruption -- whispers of irresponsibility, immorality, impatience and indecency fill the air.
We applaud those who ignore the whispers and stay in the right path. We pray for those who listen to the whispers and stumble upon the crooked path. We pray for those who stumbled to get back on the right path.
Teenagers. Fun, love, money along with responsibility is right around the corner. Take your time. Make the right choices. Make the right moves. Listen to your parents. Listen to the adults in your life. Listen to your conscience. If it feels wrong, don't do it. Your mini you. Your conscience is your guide.
Teenagers. God bless you.

Pathetic - Ode to Alice
Hi All,
The state of being Pathetic are for those people who wants someone who doesn't want them back. If he or she doesn't want you anymore, let them go! Time and time again I hear the same story from different people. The story of loving or wanting someone who doesn't feel the same about you. It's pathetic. The games, the hurt, the lies, the embarrassment that the unwanted person goes through is crazy.
For example, I know a woman who believes her husband who had left her 12 years ago, will one day return home. Since his departure, he has filed for a divorce three times. The first two times, she refused to sign the documents and he was too broke to pursue the matter with the attorneys and courts. Although, he pays child support, visits with his children and provides for them, she calls him a dead beat father. So unfair for those fathers who actually want to take care of their children. Anyway, she drags him into court. She wants more money. She writes stories to people asking for money. She cheats the state out of money. She gets government money for her son. She steals. She works off the books. She tells lies to mutual friends. She walks into bars where her ex has hanged out with cans and begged for money for her children. Meanwhile, she lives in a house, she has a car, her children are dressed well. She believes all the steps she has taken so far will destroy his life. She has done the opposite to it. Instead of being a woman about the whole situation for her children's sake and get on with her life, she drags them through it. I don't know if she realizes that shen makes herself look PATHETIC.
Get over it already. Stop using your children as one of the many excuses to continue a relationship. Stop using your children as a paycheck. Take charge of your own life. Stop living in the past. Make yourself look and feel good (if that's possible). Find someone else!

I Wish I Could Wear Jeans to Work!
Hello All,
Like every morning commute, I take a cab to the train station, buy a newspaper and wait patiently during my travels to get to work. If I'm not reading, I tend to look around and gather thoughts on whatever it is I see.
On the train this morning, I saw a woman dressed nicely in a pair of blue jeans matched up perfectly with a beige sweater that fell slightly above her thigh. She ended her ensemble with a pair of suede beige flats. I was jealous. I did not know the woman nor did I know if she was even going to work, but she looked comfortable and decent. Her hair and nails were nicely groomed which complimented her outfit.
After I scoped her from head to toe, a bubble popped in my head, "I wish I could wear jeans to work."
A pair of blue, dark blue or black jeans matched up with a nice top along with some fashionable shoes is worth getting up in the morning for a fulls day of work.
