I worry about the future. We are really messing it up.

Yeah, unfortunately I think all of our choices are from the same cloth. You can't tell where one ends anymore and the next one begins. It's just a continuation of bad decisions for the American People....but hey...we don't count...just big business and big money. We'll pay for it and we will learn some very hard lessons.

It demonstrates a certain level of respect and the lesson I learned is respect really does work both ways. Now I know what they mean when they talk about Growing Pains It was painful, but I did grow

Oh sun, I just read this, and growing with our kids is so hard. Sometimes I don't know who it is harder for us, or them. Ithink your Pastor was in the right place at the right time for you...

Delivery companies that don't deliver...or people who don't do their jobs. Take your pick.

The driver with our pool table called early this afternoon. He was supposed to be here a few hours later. He called at 5:30pm and by then the rain started. He wanted us to drive to meet him about an hour away to get our pool table. Hubby said we can't do it. We only have an open trailer and we did wait all day and we did pay for delivery They will be back tomorrow. Looks like we will have to wait around again tomorrow until they show up. Ugh!!!

I thought when you pay for delivery you don't have to pick it up Another day will be wasted waiting for them

Can you get some ear plugs? At least you might be able to sleep.

Such as waste of time when you are waiting for a delivery.........rarely do they ever show up when promised.


Hope they don't keep you waiting too long today!! Enjoy your new pool table.
