WOW!!! Another lucky contestant!! You have won a trip (which u have to pay for) to PEI, get picked up at the airport by no one other than PEI own Loverboy!! He may be a bit late to the airport, as he has to borrow his moms 1986 Dodge Horizon hatchback car, and he has to stop at the seamstress to get a patch put on his sweat pants!! Accommodations are at his parents place AND he will devote all his attention to you, as he does not have a job!! Thanks to VJ members, we do have $$$$ in the budget for aerosol body spray. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, this sounds suspiciously like me. Oh wait, mom has an Oldsmobile, whew that was a close one.

So, I just hit my end of my 3 month probation at my job...

they started talking insurance with me yesterday and signed me up for dental, life and long term disability. all that's left is medical which I have 30 days to decide..

AND OF COURSE now the job I've been trying for all summer calls me for a second interview.. which goes well.. and then sends me forms to fill out to continue the application process and that's on the way..

so i might have to end up screwing my current place...

but I can't pass this up if it happens!

Well, think about which place you'd rather be in a year or 5...

I believe you already know.

Just do it Liz!

Praise from my sister, looks like you got her in a good mood. My dear Liz, you will succeed at whatever venture you undertake.

I know.. the decision really is so easy..

i just hate guilt

The new job really is the one that has all the growth and potential.

I wouldn't want to be where I am now even in 2 yrs!

well then here ya go Don't feel guilty, the people are your current job would probably tell you to go on with the other and make it better for yourself if it wasn't that they need you and that is not your problem, they will hire someone else and be ok. Et voila!

Update : Torri the cat

She came for a recheck visit today She is still living with her owner (the old lady), but the daughter and her husband go over everyday to give the cat the meds and clean the wounds

He was telling me that she even though she had saw the mats a while ago ( the old lady ) that the cat didn't seem to be too bothered by it and was acting normal and eating good , etc , so giving the fact that she is receiving only a small compensation from the government to live on, she had never thought necessary so have her groomed... hence the aggravated situtation and sores, and wounds and

maggots

that she had covering herself... So I bet a 1000$ bill will teach them not to be so greedy for what could have been a 20$ grooming a few years back. I understand she might be in a really hard situation financially, but then if you can't support your pet, maybe the wise decision here would be not to have one.

Anyhow, I am happy she is doing good

It is natural to feel guilty, but one has to look out for #1 and do whats best for you.

[SpiritAlight 1]

Yeah Torri.

Meow?

[MrsCat 6]

thanks for the update about Torri. Glad to hear she's on the mend.

[MrsCat 6]

Attend and in the card as a gift itemize all the shipping costs you saved them. boneheads

Okay.. so here's my vent for today.. Hubby calls 1-800 flowers and says.. hey i'd like to order 12 gerbera daisies for my wife's birthday - can you get them to her? And they say SURE!! (famous last words).. so this small (3 daisies) arrangement arrives on Friday afternoon (beautiful but i didn't know what they were supposed to be).. and they are FULLLLL of golden rod... I'm stunned.. i've never seen a florist put golden rod in an arrangement, so I pull it out.. obviously.. and then about 1 hr later the daisies start to wilt.. so now I have 2 almost dead daisies (of the 3).. hubby comes to my office and looks at the flowers and says "that's not what I ordered at all!!".. so i'm thinking.. you'd better call them..

So 1-800 flowers says "well if you are not happy we'll have to have the florist come and pick them up and see if they really are sub standard".. whatever.. I wait all day and no one comes.. so then I call this afternoon and say " no one came today".. so the lady on the phone reads her notes and says the florist said "it's not my fault she's allergic".. WHAT THE?

The lady from 1-800 flowers says.. um... golden rod is not even IN the arrangement it's just a dozen gerberas and italian Rucus.. and if he was substituting ANYTHING the florist was supposed to call my hubby.. Anyway.. she calls them and orders a full refund.. but honestly.. 2 strikes your out!! How do you go from 12 gerberas to 3? And then they wilt as soon as they get here, and THEN you put in golden rod as a "filler"?? gAH!!!

Anyway.. i guess i'll just enjoy the one loan daisy.. bah !

[Emancipation 2]

i guess i forgot to say i'm allergic to golden rod
