Anyone else having problems with seeing comments on some letters? It will
tell me there are 4 comments, but I see none, and when i click on the "4
comments" it takes you right to the main page?

My husband has this great cold, runny nose, sore throat, the works. He
has SO KINDLY shared with me, and even though I have to teach this morning,
and have cases of scout cookies filling our living room, I now have to do
it with a runny nose and stuffed head. While I am doing cookies today, and
a 2 page paper, and a short test, and the general weekend chores, he is
going over to friends to watch the Daytona. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Why do
husbands always have to share???

Hope everyone has a good day, and may cupid spread a little joy into your
life today! I woke up to pink roses, and will get my other gift when the
kids go to bed (wink,wink)so I'm smiling!

to hear you have such sad news. My condolences on your loss of two dear
family members. It's hard to say goodbye and I hope they didn't suffer.

Do you have her recipe so you can make them and remember her?

who made them with her every year, and I hope will continue the tradition!
I don't think it would be the same if I made them. But thanks for your
condolence. My hubby has been great- he gave me peace and quiet all day and
just left to go get Chinese food so I don't have to cook.

Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Merry New Year, Happy Hannakuh, whatever
you celebrate, hope that this time of year is happy and jolly for you!
My oldest arrived home from ID last night, and we are having a huge family
dinner tonight before heading to church to hear the children sing.
Our prayers this year include a big one to BRING THE SOLDIERS HOME and put
an end to the war- friends Cory and Chauntelle Jackson, who are stationed
in Baghdad, and whose 4 children, ages 4 through 13 are scattered with 3
different families.
Best wishes, best wishes, and I hope that the new year brings you much
happiness and peace!

what is going on with all the taters??? I started laughing so hard I almost
spilled my coffee. I figure there must be a good story behind this one.

and everyone is tired and slowly coming down. We enjoyed Hannah Montana
andddd the Jonas Brothers, but didn't get home until about 11:00. I think I
probably lost 5 pounds from dancing with my 7 year old. Way worth it, and I
owe a kudos to my inlaws for financing part of last night. I don't think I
have even seen 5 girls smile so much. No complaints, other than the fact
that when we got there there was a family in our seats and I was even
impressed that they had lower priced concert t-shirts for kids. Now I get
to stitch together a quick kimono and spend the day shuffling among parties
and then out with my goblins. I can't complain.

I am getting over a cold- fighting hard and hoping that I won't be sick as
a dog Tuesday night when I have to take my girls to see Hannah Montana. My
husband is sick, and he is whiny.... why are men so whiny when they're
sick??? I have laundry to do, a bedroom to clean, about 5 hours worth of
homework to do and baking to finish an we have a Brownie activity from noon
to 2:30. Tell me when the rest starts?

Okay, so recently a hostile member who "has been here a long time" said I
lied about my retail experience, and I "didn't scare her." I think some
people are way too into this site.I never set out to scare or intimidate
her, I just had a different opinion about her comment to the letter
writer.

I am a Mother of 4 girls, I am a Christian, and why in the world would I
lie about working retail? Who lies about something that silly? I started at
Best Products when I was 15. It was my first real job. I worked there 13
months until the store location moved to Pinole,CA. I was then hired by
Sears at the Northgate mall in SanRafael,CA. I started in loss prevention,
( one year) and then asked if I could please work in the children's
department. I worked at that location for 3 and a half years , my managers
name was Cathi Lucido. Her husband John runs the auto service department. I
transferred to the Tigard,OR store at Washington Square Mall in 1989 and my
managers name was Amy Rice. I was there almost 2 years before I got
pregnant with my oldest daughter. I worked at Jo-Ann fabrics in Portland,OR
from 1992 until May of 1993, and Hancock Fabrics in Tigard,OR on Scholls
Ferry Road from 1993 until the store closed in late 1999.Managers name is
Dave Smith. I have a gold service award from Hancocks and 2 service awards
from Sears. I worked at Chaps N Spurs in Aloha,OR ( it's a restaurant)-
owners Pete and Shelli Brown- for almost 4 years until they closed, and I
have owned my own cleaning service , MLW Cleaning for just over 12 years.

Would someone please tell me how (NAME OMITTED) feels this is lying about
my retail experience??? Oh- I also teach Sunday School ( 25 years this
year) and I am a Brownie leader of 14. I am also in my last year of
college, working on dual degrees.

I like this site because it gives me a chance to read consumer letters, and
I like to read more than comment. Some are so funny or full of misspellings
or petty that I laugh until I cry. I haven't written any to any companies
yet, but I will. I practice what I preach in that I do not patronize
Target, WalMart, or Denny's. Most of the time I enjoy this site and the
people on it.I notice that some of them are quite profound.
