A place to vent huh??????????

To make time pass... I have the cleanest house in town. Good time to get rid of all the junk. LOL

I'm living in the country in Warren County (now enjoying this Indian Summer weather). Tomorrow I am planting bulbs after my early morning job search (this week hasn't been bad). Followed by an evening of B&J wine coolers. I wish I could paint some rooms here, but I am flat broke, can't spend a cent. I have been compiling a list of things to buy and do once I get a job. Only a dream for now.

Just someone tell me when this extension passes, I took that "other" thread off my bookmark list, too many attitudes, that's it. Something is definitely mentally wrong with people who have a need to spend their time chastising other people.

You are so right. You know that I should however repost some of the more informational posts that are talked about there that directly affect us and whats going on. For the people here that no longer get information from that site.

Your day sounds nice and relaxing. I especially like the Idea of you spending your afternoon with 2 guys named Bartles , and James. They can be good company especially if they hang our for a while. LOL. As for you wanting to paint don't worry you will be able to soon. Life won't be like this for all of us forever. No where but up from here and you sound like the type of person that has her glass half full vs. empty. So you have a head start on most already.

So do you have any children? I do, I had my first and only child so far 2 years ago this past September. His name is Dominic very handsome little man if I must say!!!! lol I will have to google Warren county because I'm not 100% familiar. I am in Gloucester County, 10 min. or so from bridge's to Philly.

Well have a great day today and hopefully we can chat later. Oh ????? Curious ????? are you a Phillies Phan? If so good game last night off to the Series. Talk to you soon bye

Yeah, tonight the two guys (B&J) are flavored pomegranite raspberry, UMMMMM!!! Soda pop with a buzzzz!!! What's the drink of choice at your place? Of course during gardening, I will look in on the Senate occasionally to check out that sexy Senator Sherrod Brown!

Job searched this morning early for a few hours. I have noticed any interviews I have gotten lately (very few unfortunately) have been from resumes I sent cold - not from answering ads. Therefore, places hiring do not even need to post ads, since they have been getting so many resumes. Which makes it all the more harder, but that is how it is. So send those resumes, don't wait for an ad.

I don't have any kids, but I do have two cats. They are just like my kids and they are really enjoying me being home. Are you able to spend more quality time with your son since unemployed? If you think about it, there are good points to this situation, if you look for them. I lost my job the Friday before Mother's Day - a month after my mom died from a long-term illness. I was devastated from her death. What a lousy bxstxrd I worked for! But maybe god thought I needed a break. Sometimes you have to step aside and leave things in the hands of the big guy upstairs!

Have a good day!

I live in Warren County, aren't the colors on the trees beautiful this morning?

Yeah well if you think about it, an employer would be more apt to take the time to call back/interview someone that actually took the time TO create a resume. Also it shows that your serious and makes you look more professional compared to someone coming in with a folded up application. Just my opinion. So good for you!!!!

Hmm my drink of choice would be either Mikes Hard Punches, Mango or Pomegranite. They are considered beer but taste really good nothing like beer. Fruity with carbonation. But since a six pack costs 8.99 plus tax. So I have been sticking with 24oz Cans of Keystone. Bummer.

So I don't know if you have heard or not but apparently Sen. Reid has envoked Cloture since the Repubicans keep stalling the passage of HR3548. Now that has happend a total of 30 hours are alotted to the Senate for debate and speaking about the bill. Apparently it usually dosen't go the full 30. ( That time is kept by how long bills discussion goes on for not 8 or 6 hours per day till 30.) So we need to get a vote in favor with 3/5 voting for it. Then not sure if it would be back to the house then president or finance committee, House, then Obama. Who knows at this point. Basically everything we get from our elected officials is freakin them blowin smoke up our asses. LOL

Take care and talk to you soon.

Hey sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yippie Yippie LOL I am really glad that came threw for you. Feels nice to get even just a little bit of help now in these rough times huh? So how have you been and what have you been up to. Besides watching/listening to cspan getting more and more aggravated. As for me I have my son Dominic today and tomorrow. Which makes me really happy I love my little guy so much. Thats another reason I need this extension or a job to come threw. If I am not able to give his mother support (blood) money J/King I'll end up in court and I really do not want that to happen. Well I'm gonna blow this popcicle stand now and do some Jay oh Bee searchin. Wish me luck and I'll talk to you all later

Your comments are great, they make me bust out laughing everytime. Well said!!! Seriously, I'll assume that Reid now believes that he has the support to push this thing through.

Enjoy your time with your son!

They are, I can actually walk down to the Delaware from where I live. I am very grateful for this warmer weather, being my furnace is broken.
