Hello to Carol, Helen, Kaz, Kay, mrsK, and Kathy Ellen. Hope you all are well and having a good day :-6 Anything new and exciting going on? I'll tell you reading what you FOC'ers make to eat sure does make me hungry :wah:

Helen, when you talk about spuds, what exactly do you have to do with them? I hope not peel them!

I do hope Cheezie and Gill are having good weather. Even if they're not, it's nice that they got to go away on holiday.

Hi Helen, Kaz and TM,

Kaz, I think I'd rather be at your caravan in the rain then at home doing projects:wah:

How are the spuds going Helen.....just read your journal....can't believe that no one will help you carry those heavy bags of spuds and leave you a mess from the night before....geeze, that's awful....how can people be so thoughtless or stupid.....makes me so mad:-5 Really hope all goes well with your job and home Helen...that is so scary....best wishes:-6

hi TM,

no thank heavens, i dont actually peel them, we have a machine to do the worst of that but i have to got through each and every one of them to make sure they've got no bad bits on them. ought to think myself lucky really, when we first opened two years ago i was doing at least 25 bags a day !!! as you can see by that statement, things have got so bad buisness wise here and not just for us, this is now why im worried about my job and home, thats the worst part of live in acommodation !!!

HI KATHYELLEN,

im my own worst enemy, i ask for help once and dont get it so my stubborn streak kicks in and i think to myself, to hell with it, i dont need a flippin man to do it for me !!! had four of em sit there and watch me do it today. their latest trick is to go in through the other door so i cant grab them on the way through !!!!

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 8:25 am

Helen, I'm the same way....tI take an attitude and won't ask for your help no matter what....That makes me so angry when people won't help you, and let you do all the work. What kind of people are they?????

HI Helen:D i was the same when i woked in a bakery a long long time ago.. had to hump massive bags of flour and sugar, and i just struggled on and done it if no help was offered,, developed a few muscles i can tell ya:wah:mind i was a lot younger then:-3 dont think i could do it now

Helen: I don't know what this world is coming to these days. We here in the US are suffering as well. High unemployment rates, people who have tried hard are losing their homes to foreclousure, people being laid off after 10/15 years on their job. It's a sad state of affairs all over :-5

I am very much like you are Helen. I will ask for help but I wind up doing things myself because people turn a "blind eye" and are just plain lazy in my opinion. They will do just enough to get by and not an ounce more :-5

I am now a true believer in God helps those who help themselves. I wish you well and hope things get better for you :-4

we see your troubles here on tv and in the papers. its been my boss's dream for a long time to have a villa in florida. she looks at the property for sale over there on the internet and cannot believe the prices of it. say for instance, a four bedroom house with ensuit bathrooms, a pool etc for $130,000.

i think at the going rate, that would be around £250,000 here........... you wouldnt be able to buy something like that here for less than £475,000.

it gives the youngsters here no hope for the future and ive got 13 grandchildren that have yet to face all that !!

New Beginnings Make New Endings

New Beginnings Make New Endings

With lots of life between

Its what you put into your life

It is not these other things.

You will never know

What lies ahead

Choosing not to dream, instead.

New Beginnings Make New Endings

with much success ahead

If gently and tenderly

You choose to love it day by day

And be thankful its graces

You will find it to guide you

You will never be afraid.

New Beginnings Make New Endings.

Like nothing you've ever seen.

Just looking at a sewing needle

Its not the eye of the needle

That makes the impression on you

But amazingly it is the the thread

That makes its appeal to you.

Message from TM: Please let us have a new beginning here and not let this beautiful friendship thread vanish. We all make mistakes and we all come to this thread to share our mistakes and to ask for help. I am begging you NOT to let prior mistakes get in the way of good friendship and a place to come and find that :yh_hugs. If any one is perfect here, please step forward. *Carol you can go sit down now* :wah:

right, this is the last time im going to have anything to say on the subject.

i had been off line for a couple of hours, as i said, to take the dog out out have a shower and something to eat.

when i came back on, i made a post about how tired i was and about it being too early to have an early night and generally let people know i was back on line again, something i do all the time. its still there for anyone to check up as far as i know,

i then went and read back and i think i made a cuppa at the same time. by the time i'd done that there was a post on there from you, something about " its nice having a chat isnt it" you then went on to leave a message for kaz.

yes, i did go into one, simply because, and ive said this a dozen times already, i wasnt given the chance to reply before i got jumped on.

i could have been in the toilet, on the phone or this damn thing could have crashed again like it did three times last night. in fact i could have been doing anything that prevented me from replying instantly but no................. i was ignoring you and to you that was the only reason i didnt reply.

i just cant explain it any more or better than that.

Im sorry to see there has been a bit of a falling out here, thats such a shame and im hoping it can get sorted out eventually, Its so hard sometimes because yes we all have our real lives to contend with and we all have our problems as well, and then misunderstanding can occur. I think i understand where Carols coming from as in when you seem to be here on yer own rabbiting away, as i have done many times:wah: then someone comes on and posts as if you were never there!!! now dont all shout at me at once,,, just wait ,,,,, Im sure when this happens it is not on purpose and yes we have all missed posts before the odd time im certainly guilty of it,,, but,,,,,,,, we are of course all of us only human and naturally can get upset sometimes when we feel we have just posted a page full or sometimes two!!! and its not even acknowledged,,, human feelings take over and even though it may seem silly to some it is hurtful and im sure i speak for everyone here who at some point has felt that way ,,, i also know how good it feels when you just need some interaction with people and you can come here and get it ,, all of you must have felt that also,, just grateful and happy that you have been acknowledged and had a bit of chat and a laugh or support etc. I know it makes me feel so good to see someone just give that little effort to mention your name or just say hi,,and now im rambling:wah:

Anyway i hope i havent caused any offence, i do try to be as straight as possible in my feelings, and i just wanted to acknowledge what has happened here and not just glide over it as if nothing had happened.

I hope we can get past this and still be friendsExactly...........right now to move on.

Im glad yer going to yer van mate and hopefully yer dad will get through this new ordeal.I feel for yer mum......give her a cuddle from me:-4;)

It's a small world Carol. When I went to London on holiday I stayed at Tower Hotel in London, on the north bank of the River Thames, alongside Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, that overlooks St Katharine's Dock. It cost me an arm and a leg but it was the most beautiful place I have ever been! I envy you that you get to go back there and wish I could join you!

Forgive me if I'm al little off since it was ages ago but I took the Tube on Liverpool Street. I went to Petticoat Lane and bought some inexpensive clothes and some leather goods. I also went to see The London Zoo, The British Museum, and I went to see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Still to this day, I can't understand why the Queen didn't invite me in for tea :wah:

A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning.

He said "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to help me preach.

Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind"

The pastor shouted out "CROSS."

Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS."

The pastor hollered out "GRACE." The congregation began to sing "AMAZING GRACE, how sweet the sound."

The pastor said "POWER." The congregation sang "THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD."

The Pastor said "SEX" The congregation fell into total silence.

Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other afraid to say anything.

Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church,

A little old 87 year old grandmother stood up and began to sing "MEMORIES." :rolleyes::D:wah:
