Good afternoon everyone!!!
Catsmom,
I'm glad Andrea could get the pictures posted for you. Interesting, I could see your picture from Bruce on the group page but not your comments that I could see in the email notification. But the other pictures never showed up on this site. Sometimes I think Ning has a hiccup!!!!! But I love the flowers with the chocolate!!! Hadn't seen that one before!!! I am so sorry you are still putting up with the incompetence of you jacka$$ boss!!! She reminds me of someone I had to work with for several years and she could absolutely drive me to drink!!! And how it is that the powers that be could never do anything but pass the work she couldn't do onto us other secretaries that already had full plates of our own!!!! Sometimes I wish I had the guts to say to her face how stupid could she really get, and does it come naturally to her or does she have to work at it?????? But I'm not that kind of person!!!!! Darn!!!! We need to plan a get together now!!! I need to come do a sunset walk on the beach with you!!!!! Unfortunately, this trip I do not have my own set of wheels!!!! But I'll work around that problem!!!
spyder,
So happy you get to see your girl and spend time with her. Heading to some unknown place in the desert to drop off ex????????? Has your daughter heard anything new about her Navy issue????
I'm starting to worry about all this bad weather that keeps hitting the northeast and what kind of impact it could have on family and friends flying out next week. Weather reports today said this crazy weather pattern was going to continue into next week!!! We need to send up some collective prayers for this nonsense to stop now!!!!!

Good morning everyone,
Jean, blank for me too, how strange. Not sure what is going on with the site. I thought it was my computer, but maybe not..LOL
Andrea, you are so sweet. If you want to try and post the pics, please do. I was about ready to throw my laptop out the window..LOL
Crazy week at work, our fridge, decided to turn into a freezer, which of course the so called manager didn't know until I told her. I guess -8 for the temp was normal for her... Been fun trying to work the last 2 days with the repair guy on a ladder in our way..LOL oh well off to another wonderful day in paradise...NOT. I think today will be a nice long walk on the beach after work.
Have a good Thursday. Thank you for letting me vent.

Spyder, Whoo Hoo!! Last minute road trips are the best especially when the end result is a hug from our sailor girl!!!! Give her an extra ((hug)) from us ;-) and safe travels!!! I'm guessing you must be on some what friendly terms w/the ex if your willing to let him ride along and not dump him along the way or maybe that's the bonus part of the road trip?! LOL
Catsmom, Yay Crystal!!! Not that we had any doubt she would excel (how could she not with you as her mom!!!), she just has to have faith in herself...maybe this will help restore her confidence! And Crystal's pic was blank too on this page but not in my notifications...weird!!! Let me know if you want me to try to post and see if that works?
Jean, I have all the comments...from waaayyy back...maybe you just need to log out and back on?? Not sure what's going on....
Have a great Thursday ladies!

Good Morning to Everyone.
Why is the site all gone. I only have the comments for today on my site now. Are they having trouble with the site?,
Spyder & catsmom, maybe that is why?

Absolutely, will do

spyder, not sure why it went blank. Maybe I need a new laptop. YAY you get to see your girl! Best trips are always last minute. Next time you go to Rincon let me know, I can meet you there. :-)

I don't know why it didn't show up, maybe I need a new laptop. Sorry everyone.
