Neil while you were away a large moth fell into my toilet, i thought about saving it but in the end decided to flush it.
But to my amazement it survived what must be the moths equivalent of niagara falls and was still flapping about on the surface after the water had stopped flowing. I then had a quick re-think and decided that as this moth had survived the torrent of water trying to push it round the U bend that this moth was special and as such deserved a second chance of life.[
]
I didnt want to put my hand into the water to fish it out so i decided to use the loo brush ,however i pressed to firmly against the moth and killed it.[
]
I know, its sad. i totally agree with you but please wipe away your tears and help me ,their must be moral too this story but i just cant think of one so i'm hoping you or someone else will for me.
Please dont let this poor innocent moths death be for nothing, their must be a moral something which i /we can pass on to our grandchildren.
By the way i called him fred, i thought that was rather apt as it rhymes with dead.[
]
PS .I've now been bad and sad[
]
Michael

Dear Neil...hmmm, I am beginning to wonder about Michael...bless his heart!
1)Long flipping day!!!! Just 2 of us running one office...I had to close my office down.
2)Did not finish all of my activities...(which is a pet peeve of mine)
3)Bossy at all day meeting and had to return to office at 4:30pm...geez,why bother?
4)Bossy came in with accusatory tone and lied on me about Laura(another marketing person)and said she told me my mistakes...I WAS PISSED!!! She knew it as she hear me say, whatever??I said fine I will just send her an email and see what her freaking problem is and ask her to send me an excel report of "all my mistakes" hmmmm, 5 minutes later bossy's tone changed and suddenly there were no mistakes...ISN'T THAT JUST AMAZING?(maybe you can detect a bit of sarcasm in my tone in typing here)
5. Went to 2nd job, will be working 7 nights a week from 10-2am no life for at least 3 weeks...then it will be Wed and Thurs off and 9:30pm until 1:30am...I like these hours better...maybe sooner..we will see. Lady is okay, but will watch her as she yaks about co-workers.
6. Son and I had a nice talk tonight....and still no word from my son in Germany tonight...I am making it a point to take lunch at home in case he gets on to IM me..
7. I feel like confucious should say something about the moth in the loo for Michael...like moth in toilet maybe whacked by loo brush!
Good night hon...I pray you have peaceful dreams and plenty of sleep!

Neilsy...time to tell the truth...
1. Morning started out where I belted out a whitney houston tune as Magnum was sleeping...I thought he would appreciate my high pitch early in the morning...hey the cat didn't beg for breakfast once! I think he was mesmerized by such a sound! LOL Okay, probably scared!
2. Ate 2 brownies...mmmmm, had cereal, hamburger, and 2 slices of pizza tonight...
3. scratched kitties stomach...
4. Annoyed with Magnum after having nice chat as I am on the phone and he is bugging me or trying to manipulate me and thought I was weak being on the phone...Not!
5. Karen and Helena have both been cutting up while you are gone and no one has been able to keep them in line...I really have tried...did you see Helena's post about being good? Unbelievable...lol Anything to look innocent...tsk, tsk, tsk...
have to run as I am sure there is something constructive I can do...?

Good Morning Neilly!
1) Jealous of Karen getting an hour more than me!
2)Deciding to take off most of this day and go in later...
3)sending you a little ditty to make you appreciate even the extreme heat there...
A TEXAS BLESSING Note: If you are not a resident of TEXAS or never have lived in the hot, humid Southwest you may not understand the weight of this blessing!
Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.
Please keep it cool in mid-July.
Bless the walls where termites dine,
While ants and roaches march in time.
Bless our yard where spiders pass
Fire ant castles in the grass.
Bless the garage, a home to please
Carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas.
Bless the love bugs, two by two, the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
Millions of creatures that fly or crawl, in TEXAS, Lord, you've put them all!!
But this is home, and here we'll stay,
So thank you Lord, for insect spray.
HOLD IT............there's more....................
YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN TEXAS IN JULY WHEN. . .
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
Hot water now comes out of both taps.
You can make sun tea instantly.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron!
The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
The cows are giving evaporated milk. Ah, what a place to call home.
God Bless Our State of TEXAS!!

3)I was onery to boss when she called about non important stuff on my cell while with my girlfriend...geez, then she called back again....and was a little shocked...(I am usually not rude, but since she was calling me on my off day, didn't know how to solve an easy issue...I was just so happy about my son, I just said, nah, no more using me like this....so I hung up...I have decided that if it is not an emergency on offdays or off time and she has been horrible I will have to ask her bossy to reimburse me for every nonpeak minute they use from the year before until now....or hire an attorney as this phone is my personal one...in other words people START CARING!! LOL
4)Girlfriend was shocked while we were out and told me her boss would never do that and then asked me who was whose manager...I told her I know, but this is how it is with her...
5)Danced like I never danced before...MICHAEL, MY BABYBEAR IS ALIVE, HE WILL BE FINE WITH SOME TIME AND NOT SURE IF HE WILL NEED REHAB OR NOT FOR GAIT, BUT HE WRITES PRETTY GOOD WITH HIS LETTER...JUST ABOUT PERFECTLY...HAD TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE DENNY BREAK UP.
6)Denny IM"ed me...I IGNORED HIM YEAH!!!I am turning into a rude heifer...I felt bad...but had too.
7)I slept again until 5:30am about 3 hours..yeah!
8)Missing you Neilsy..
9)Missing you lots Neilsy.
10)Thinking of Neilsy everyday...
11)Trying to still keep Karen and you know that really bad girl Helena inline...whew...what a job you have! Misbehaving everyday!!!
Hope you are being good .... miss you much, just in case you didn't notice

Good Morning my very good friend! I sure hope you are really relaxing!
I am missing you very much here on the forum! You need to come home and give us a good posting or two for inspiration friend! I have thought about a good topic and have had no luck starting one, except for this, You really didn't need this one, as you know we all miss you, but my brain could not come up with a better idea! You Know Me! I will keep trying.
I have a little boyfriend that wants me to post a few science questions for the forum. He asked me to answer them, but what a joke!
Moi answer science questions! I thought you might enjoy these. Please any responses should come in 4 year old terms and not mentioning God as we cannot uses religious reference to a child at school!
1. Teacher why did god make all of the earths, and only make ours with plants and oxygen to breath in our lungs? Why did he make all the others with no oxygen or gravity? ( Get this, He is a 4 year old!)
2. Teacher how does the plants get that chlorophyll in them so we can breath oxygen?
3.How are we going to breath Gods oxygen if that place keeps cutting down Gods trees? ( points at truck company next door who hauls all the trees out in their trucks to go to the mill!)Yikes! Kid is really bright!
4.Do brown trees or Grass make oxygen for us to breath?
5.Teacher, Why do we have Gravity on this earth?
6.Teacher Karen,are we going to go live on the other planets, like Saturn?
Well as you can see this little fellow has some very good questions for his age and he reminds me abit of a cheeky little fellow we all know and love! Maybe someone can shoot me back a couple really simple answers , he will be thrilled you answered! He loves space and the like, I have already printed him a couple of photos from the other forums.
Any way Neil I miss you and will be so glad when you get home! Hope your holiday is refreshing and revitalizing!!!! Much love to you and family.....Karen

Hi Michael...yep, I must agree...but I am now so bored with it...there is no challenge left...aaghh! Tired of being up all night not sleeping...may as well work?
Sorry Neil, we know this is your thread, but missed Michael too...don't be jealous!
1)I did notice Karen is wearing platinum stars now...wow! You leave and someone is trying to take your job! LOL
2)2nd job is so boring, that a church mouse would sin, repent, sin, repent...just to have some excitement in its life just talking to someone in confession!
3)Person up here is hilarious...mute and curse, mute and curse, mute and curse...I have laughed so much tonight...they get back on call sweet as pie...she is hilarious! Billy is a church mouse I think...hehe...Supervisor early thought I was going to be stressed and thought I wouldn't be back...(They never worked at a place I used to before where it was grand central station of complaints! LOL) In fact, a place I used to work at, called in and I had to tell him how their procedures were to do something with their allotments...hehe
4)bored still, must go home in 2 minutes...catch you mice later!
Hugs!

Good Morning stranger,
Well, here goes;
1.Yesterday morning, signed on and posted a while and checked around.
2.Talked to George for a bit and communicated some fears of buttons!
3.deleted my first topic(on purpose)
4.Tried to edit my post and accidently pulled Loretta's, had to send it back unscathed! Such a rookie!
5.Talked to michael
6.Went to town and tried to get hair done, (Disaster)
7.Bought something nice for a friend!
8.Back on the computer posted some more answeres a few emails
9.Tried to hunt done Helena and Loretta!
10.Wondered why some of those buttons are so dang close to the previous pagethingy at the top. They should move that up about 1/4 of an inch. Its so close it could spell diasater if you are sleepy!
Oh well, If I keep my head off the keyboard, things shoud be cool!No nodding off you know?
You better be having lots of great fun SIR! Will be happy to see you back friend!! hugs......Karen

Good Morning Neil darling!
1) Missing you much more than yesterday and more yesterday than the day before...
2) Slept 4 hours again...2nd job must be boring me so bad...ick..
3)Karen shouldn't deleted her topic, it was probably juicy!
4) Don't believe Karern accidently pulled mine..hehe, I am sure she wanted to scathe it! LOL
5) Hoping the girl Maria who worked last night will be there tonight to amuse me with her mute and cursing action...okay, not that I care for cursing, but you had to watch the action....she sat across from me...hehe When I was on the phone with a customer, I had to mute while laughing my butt off every other minute or so...it wasn't one call, but every call!!!! She just wanted to play on internet or email...it was busy for the first 2 hours, and after 11pm it was ssslllloooowwww! Bossy seemed happy I came in 45 mins early...of course, I have an agenda...lol I can work up to 30hrs a week...7 nights a week at 4 hours is only 28..if i hit 30 I can leave early or not come in...like that...
6)Cutting this short as you will need time to read all of your mail when you get back and then read these posts...make sure you take notes...maybe we will post advice about different things...
7)If you spill wine on your favourite hawaiian shirt..first run it under cold water or dab quickly so it will not set the stain, then shout it out or if that doesn't work, grab permanent markers and color the flower petals or anything else that might need extra color[^]! LOL
Bye Babes!

Dearest darling Neilsy,
Take no notice of Loretta, you know I miss you the most.
If we've been bad while you were away, it was all Loretta's fault.
I don't do bad stuff.
Love you lots
