I am sorry to hear it, Thomas. At least you seem to have a good attitude for the moment.

Maybe consider it a career-change moment. Or if that doesn’t appear to be working out, try doing something with your time that you enjoy on a personal level.

I’ve tried to teach my kids that if you can find something to do that you enjoy doing, and can find someone who’s willing to pay you to do it, then you will have found happiness.

That beats “employment” all hollow.

In it right now... The next couple weeks are the busiest of the year. Parsing data, rounding up account info, setting up security, bringing new systems online, etc...

Two weeks and we have teachers in the building... A week after that, students.

School board turned down my request to carry a tazer... I guess I'll have to find some other way to manage. ;-)

A sense of perspective is important in life.

If I were there, I would take the chicken casseroles and the fruit salad with the Cool Whip, and plan on getting a dog while sneaking in a cat, thereby eliminating one of the $250 deposits. LOL!

Right now, I’m researching high potassium foods and trying to figure out how to add them withouth altering everything else in my life. I’ve lost five pounds this last week, just because I tried to eat. So far, the only thing I’ve discovered about the BP meds is that they don’t lower the BP, but do mimic the symptoms of CFIDS.

This last, of course, is the main reason I refused to take them in the first place. Prescription drugs and CFIDS don’t belong together. I wish I could talk the doc into giving me potassium.

(Tagline!)

I’m sorry to hear of your lay-off, Thomas, but I will keep you in my prayers, asking that you find a decent car without too much expense, and that another, better job comes your way.

No matter what, don’t give up on yourself, and remember you are loved!

[Tax-chick]

Best wishes with the potassium. Good tagline.

I’m trying to organize the school year. *sigh*

[Monkey Face]

The doctors are taught to tell people that high blood pressure is a disease. It isn’t. It’s a symptom of something else that is wrong in your body. So I’m going to do all I can to increase my potassium intake and lower the BP naturally so I can get away from the disastrous side-effects I’m experiencing.

My SIL took some BP meds and was so dehydrated she had to be hospitalized. Not for me. There has to be a better way.

At least I didn’t pull something from August Derleth’s writings.
The Dhole worm, it burrows under whole towns.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August Derleth wrote a children’s biography of Father Marquette, explorer of the Mississippi.

I just got this in an email and thought it should be shared.

The “little something” just came!

Thanks!

That was a speedy postal-bunneh. Eat it in good health!

Is that the Hello Kitty, Mark 2.3?

Those cute little things can be absolutely deadly.
