Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Chatter

She was a red hot hoochie koocher

Good morning!!! No breakfast this am?.... I had to look up the chat title since I've never heard of that song before- I like the lyrics, probably am going to hum it all day long now. Btw, happy belated birthday, HK.

Thank you, amandie.

You've never heard of Minnie the Moocher? NEVER?!?!?

Truly never. I think my being deaf may have something to do with being ignorant of those kind of things, eh?

I had no idea. I'm sorry.

Oh no, no need to be sorry. :) Guess that killed the chat, huh? lol.

I blame a lack of Lily.

Or any other chatters.

*sets out the coffee*
*pulls out a pavlov-clone to get some sort of breakfast going*

Good morning HK. I'm here now, just waiting for you to put out the coffee. 
*here's some zucchini bread to go along with it*

Ms. Lonestar. How are you today?

Poor Kim and Bagga. :(

I'm good, thinking I should get nervous pretty soon.  The DD wedding is now 3 days away.  I think everything is under control though.  Baby got out of the hospital Monday and he's doing fine.

Still looking for a job:(

Feel really bad for Kim.  I so wish I had the money to fly out to stay with her, without a job, I have time, just not money.

Yeah, whereas I'm close to Kim but don't really have the time. :p

Hopefully Kim joins us for at least a bit Saturday, though.

Yes, hopefully she can join you.  I was really hoping that this time I could come out, but my DD thinks I should be here for her wedding.

What's going on with Bagga?  I must have missed something.

*blinks*
Oh. Nevermind.

Still.. Poor Kim. I can't believe she can't get rid of this stupid cancer!

Really glad to here about K's job.  That has to be a great relief.  These employment issues are really scary.  With my nursing degree and 20 years experience you would think I would find a job easily, but that's not the case.

I finally applied for some jobs in Des Moines, just not looking for a 1.5 hour commute each way.

Especially with the spawn on the way, this would be the aboslute worst time for K to be out of a job.

Plus, this position puts K back into a technical position she desires that will put her career hopes back in line. :)

*streaks into chat*

Boobies!!! Boobies!! Boobies!!!

*streaks out of chat*

But at least in weight training you get to take a day off for rest and recovery!  I don't know how some people carry the load that's thrust upon them.

 Well said.  Thanks Split.

Because they have to.

Because life doesn't just go away no matter how much stress they're under.
