Hello everybody

[MissHoneychurch]

I am back after a good sleep. Amazingly I had no problems whatsoever to go to sleep and sleep through even though I slept a lot during the day yesterday.
So how is everything? What did I miss?

:hi:

[Robeson]

1. Hey MissHoneychurch! How's the little kitty doing? Is she still eating..

...OK?

[MissHoneychurch]

2. she sure is

and she is getting more and more demanding every day ... so yeah, she is feeling good :D

[Robeson]

3. Oh, thats fun! Glad you're having a good time with her....

...even if she is a little demanding. Just remember, its their world and we just live in it. So be glad she puts up with! :-)

[MissHoneychurch]

4. I know I am her slave

this morning she didn't want to let me leave for work before I gave her a good massage so to speak. And she is talking the whole time. And playing dog. It is fun with her

[Old_Fart]

5. Where are you suppose to be at?

I'm not by a clock do you know what time it is?

[MissHoneychurch]

6. it is a quarter to nine in Germany

I don't know what time it is for you since I don't know where are you living.

[WCGreen]

7. Enigmatic had a car accident.....

If you didn;t know already.....

I told Mrs. WCGreen you might be comig to america and she said if there is a woman from Germany that Laughs at my husbands jokes, I want to meet her.....

[MissHoneychurch]

9. I saw the thread about the accident

and replied in it.

that is very nice of your wife. I hope I won't disappoint her when I am coming :)

[WCGreen]

11. Nah, she'll love yu like I do.....

I'm getting her to come on line soon

[MissHoneychurch]

13. please do

I am sure she will enjoy this crazy bunch here. And she will be more than welcome.

[WCGreen]

14. It's in the works....

I just have to set up her computer and hook up the router....

[MissHoneychurch]

18. so you both have computers then

that is good. otherwise there might be a fight who can post here :)

[WCGreen]

32. She has my old one.....

I just have ot get her on a router

[enigmatic]

20. Seriously?

That's going to be cool...

[WCGreen]

33. Yea, we'll be the new Mr and Mrs Sniffa

She actually took over one night ad posted a few things

[Wetzelbill]

16. hell yeah, get her to come to DU

I'd love to meet your better half. :)

[enigmatic]

8. Had a crappy-ass day

But I'm glad yours is going good:)

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I heard about it

I am really glad you and your wife are ok. :hug:

[enigmatic]

12. Thanks

:hug:

[Wetzelbill]

15. See MHC, I couldn't go to bed without seeing you!

Not a chance. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

17. this is what I am talking about

and I found out that you are a friend of Joan_Alpern also. And that makes you even more loveable :hug:

[Wetzelbill]

19. yeah, Joani is a great woman...

Just on that merit alone it takes me up several points on the lovable scale. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

21. not that you aren't lovable all by yourself

:pals:

[Wetzelbill]

26. I have my moments ;) nt

[MissHoneychurch]

27. don't we all have them?

and isn't that what makes us unique and human?

[xmas74]

22. You didn't miss anything here.

I'm on night ten of a straight run at work. They want me to work again tomorrow night.

[MissHoneychurch]

23. how wonderful

just let you work till you have a break down. What kind of asses are they? You don't have to answer that question, I know it already.

:hug:

[xmas74]

24. We've had long discussions about that one.

Oh, I found a crow's foot line near my right eye and almost had a nervous breakdown over it.
Getting old sucks.

[MissHoneychurch]

25. I saw your thread about it

and you ain't getting old. 30 is nothing. (hey I am 30 myself, so I know what I am talking about :) )

and you know what, persons with laughing lines are adorable.

[Wetzelbill]

28. 30 right here too

Nothing wrong with being this age. Plus, I don't feel a day over 65. :)

[xmas74]

34. But she wasn't born in '74.

She had to wait until '75.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. oh come on

2 months difference. Even a bit less!!! LOL

[xmas74]

37. I made it by less than a week so it's ok.

[Wetzelbill]

38. well, that just means she's not as cool as we are.....

but lets not hold it against her. :)

[xmas74]

40. Can't.

My best friend was born in '75.
That reminds me-I have to call her today. She just turned 30 and will be pretty angry (or upset, whichever one hits her first).

[MissHoneychurch]

43. oh thank you my dear

at least I had a couple of months longer before I had the 3 in front :P

[Wetzelbill]

46. ouch...

I've been zinged. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

48. I told you

as charming as you are when you get arrogant I will throw you around :)

[Wetzelbill]

49. I have learned my lesson..

at least until the next time I do something stupid. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

51. well, smacking you around is as much fun

as making you swoon :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

53. I'm glad I amuse you

;)

[MissHoneychurch]

54. you don't amuse me

I enjoy you :)

[Wetzelbill]

57. I can live with that nt

[MissHoneychurch]

60. I am sure of that

hope your mind isn't running amock again :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

61. Never!

[MissHoneychurch]

71. glad to hear

[xmas74]

55. Who are we smacking around?

[Wetzelbill]

56. that would be me...

:)

[xmas74]

63. I was hoping it would be my boss.

He called a while ago and stated that he would be late to relieve me this morning. When I asked him what time(for babysitting purposes) he said that he would get here when he felt like it.
I'd rather punch him right now.

[MissHoneychurch]

66. I feel you

what an arrogant asshole.

[xmas74]

70. See the post further down.

he has changed the time.

[MissHoneychurch]

72. saw it

it makes me sick.

[xmas74]

74. This will be my third day w/o any sleep.

He's been doing this to me alot lately.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. I wish you the day comes soon

when you can tell him "Fuck you, I have a new job"

[xmas74]

79. No wonder why I look old right now!

I really think it's coming from stress and a lack of sleep.

[MissHoneychurch]

81. there is no question about that

some vacation with a lot of sleep should do a miracle.

[xmas74]

83. I don't get vacation time here.

I have no benefits so I don't qualify for vacation. If I take a day off I take it w/o pay and I take it at risk of them getting very angry about it(if they grant it off at all).

[MissHoneychurch]

85. excuse me????

what kind of bullshit is that????????

[xmas74]

88. Millions of Americans do not get vacation time.

I'm not the only one. We have no guaranteed time off program in the US.
I don't get health insurance either so I can't afford to get sick. And I don't have sick time.

[MissHoneychurch]

90. this is just wrong

[xmas74]

Nothing can be done about it.

[MissHoneychurch]

92. come to Germany and find a job here

you will have health insurance, retirement insurance, vacation time (up to a month).

[xmas74]

96. I read that Germany has the most liberal govt vacation

program in the world.
I can't even leave my state right now w/o permission from the courts(bad visitation agreement). I certainly wouldn't be allowed to move out of the country.

[MissHoneychurch]

98. we sure have a lot of vacation

but for example we don't get Monday or Friday off if a holiday happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday.

It sucks that you can't move out of your state

[xmas74]

100. I wish I could.

I could get a better job out of state but I can't move unless I get the money to petition the courts.

[MissHoneychurch]

102. how much would that be?

you are in a bad circle right now.

[xmas74]

104. In the thousands.

No attorney wants to take it unless I want to press to rescind parental rights. They have a good case to rescind parental rights (rarely get child support, refusal to use any visitation time-he doesn't even claim her as his child. She has my name per his demands). It's just too expensive for me right now.
I know, it is a vicious circle. I went to court once before about it and explained that to the judge. No go from the judicial side.

[MissHoneychurch]

112. oh damn girl

even I don't have that much money. Otherwise I would help you out. What is with the money your aunt offered you?
Maybe we should start a raise here for you :)

[xmas74]

142. We went to an attorney.

She didn't realize that it would cost that much, especially if he decides to contest (then we are in the big bucks).

[MissHoneychurch]

58. see this link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3756543&mesg_id=3756726

[xmas74]

59. ok.

I'm ready to fall asleep right now.

[MissHoneychurch]

62. read that thread

it is quite funny

[xmas74]

64. I skimmed it.

I'm just too tired to even think right now.

[Wetzelbill]

65. it's about me so you know it's boring anyway

:)

[xmas74]

67. Nope.

I'm just mad now. Boss called back. He won't be here until 3pm and I have to stay to cover until then.
No sleep for me for the third night in a row.

[MissHoneychurch]

69. EXCUSE ME????????

you are there since when?

[xmas74]

73. 10 pm last night.

He-I don't know. I'm just really tired and I don't know what I am going to do about babysitting right now. Callie will have to sit here w/ me for the day since it's too short of a notice to get someone and my family will all be at work today.

[MissHoneychurch]

75. I wish there would be a way to get back at him

he knows you have a daughter. That is just one sick mind.

[xmas74]

77. I've called Legal Aid, Time and Wage and EEOC.

Nothing can be done. I'm stuck w/ it.

[MissHoneychurch]

78. shit

fucking shit.

[xmas74]

80. I might be able to nail him on today since I will be working

17 hours straight w/o a break. I believe that I am supposed to legally have 8 hours a day from one job to do whatever w/(sleep, eat,etc). I vaguely remember something about that from when I was a steward.
I'll have to look it up.

[MissHoneychurch]

82. please do

and then report him again. 17 hours??? That is not human

[xmas74]

84. They don't care.

They been reported for other offenses in the past but didn't much care then. They won't care now.
If I can find anything I will report it.

[MissHoneychurch]

86. one day they will cross the line once too often

[xmas74]

89. They don't care.

They're trying to sell this business anyway so it doesn't really matter to them.

[MissHoneychurch]

91. still

it will fire back at them ... one day

[xmas74]

93. By then the business will be sold and he will retire

outside of the US-just like he plans.

[MissHoneychurch]

94. I don't wanna curse here more than I already did

but I can think of a lot of names .....

[xmas74]

97. So can a few of my friends.

He's thinking about Central America. He says that he can get more bang for his buck.
He's already sold off a few of his businesses in the past couple of months. He's got a few million in the bank. He wants to retire in style.

[MissHoneychurch]

99. he has enough money

but isn't willing to pay you a bit more? Fucking repug.

[xmas74]

He is.

He's a card-carrying member and a regular donator.
To him that would be a compliment.

[Wetzelbill]

106. give me his name and I'll search him out someday

and give him the beating of his life.

[MissHoneychurch]

108. please do it in my name also

I back you up (mentally) :)

[Wetzelbill]

113. no problem

I could get my brother actually, he's an actual fighter. He's gotten into real competitions and fistfought no holds barred, a few times. Never lost either. Then again, we might not want to kill the guy, you know? Just beat him up a little, haha.

[MissHoneychurch]

114. you just don't want to join me in prison

and that would be worth it way more than killing that giant penguin ;)

[Wetzelbill]

115. yeah it sure would but it would be more satisfying too

I don't need any large cellmates wanting to use me and abuse me. No thank you! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

116. I am not large

I am just 5'4 :evilgrin:

[Wetzelbill]

118. you on the other hand can use and abuse all you want

:evilgrin:

[MissHoneychurch]

119. YAY

:bounce:

[Wetzelbill]

105. aww that sucks

what an asshole.

[xmas74]

143. yes he is.

[MissHoneychurch]

68. it is not boring

we are praising you. How can that be boring?

[Wetzelbill]

107. I was just kidding

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

110. I know sweetie

:hug:

[xmas74]

29. Callie made a new friend the other day.

Her friend's husband is retired military and she is originally from Germany. She saw Callie at church and just wanted to love on her nonstop. She said that looking at Callie makes her homesick and had to ask if Callie was part German.
She wants us to come over for dinner sometime soon.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. that is sweet

so she meets another German. Go, you both will enjoy it. Ask her if she can cook something German for you. And you have to tell me how it went.

[xmas74]

31. We have quite a few German wives here

since the base is nearby. And Callie loves being around people not quite like her(she loves accents). One of her closest schoolfriends was born in Korea and another one is from the Philipines (all are w/ the military).
And she does plan on some German cooking. I need to get some better recipes from her!

[MissHoneychurch]

36. that is wonderful

that she has friends from all over the world. Shows that you have a good impact on her.

[xmas74]

39. Her best friends are Asian.

I don't know why but she loves anyone w/ an Asian background. She's really drawn to it. After that it would have to be African-American.
I like that she is so openminded compared to other children her own age. I've heard more than a few nasty-mouthed kids in the grocery store make comments that they must have heard at home and it sickens me.

[MissHoneychurch]

41. it will help her a lot when she grows up

to know that all people are alike. I know Callie can be a little monster sometime but she is clever also and she is a girl I sure wanna meet.

[xmas74]

42. Everyone loves her

until she begs to fix your hair or put makeup on you.
It just becomes painful after that.

[MissHoneychurch]

44. I just can imagine

well, she couldn't do much with my hair since it is quite thin and flat but I rather not try to imagine how I look with make-up done by her ... LOL

[xmas74]

45. Clown makeup.

And she would tangle a comb through your hair until you almost had to cut the comb out.

[MissHoneychurch]

47. I should be lucky

that I had a boy to take care of as a nanny ... LOL

[xmas74]

50. She's a terror.

[MissHoneychurch]

52. you keep telling me

but I know that you love her and that you are proud of her :)

[In_The_Wind]

87. GOOD morning!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3767245

[MissHoneychurch]

95. good morning my dear friend

:pals:

[In_The_Wind]

101. perfect timing

>
btw did you see this one >

[MissHoneychurch]

103. what is the second pic?

[In_The_Wind]

109. another one of my prints by Nybor

[MissHoneychurch]

111. that is beautiful

[In_The_Wind]

117. Nybor's works are all symbolic.

I bought several of them when we met at www.rosencomet.com if he isn't painting, he is in Washington politicking.

[GOPisEvil]

120. Good morning!

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

121. good morning

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

122. I wish I could be more eloquent, but it's still early.

:yawn:

[MissHoneychurch]

123. don't worry about that

I am not the most eloquent neither and I don't even have the exuse of an erly morning (anymore)

[GOPisEvil]

124. I blame the History Channel.

They had an interesting show at 10pm last night. I had to stay up 'til 11 to watch it. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

125. 11pm is late for you?

I normally don't go to bed before that. It can get midnight sometimes if I read something interesting.

[GOPisEvil]

126. I have to be up early.

I go into work at 7:00am. I need at least 6 or 7 hours hours of sleep to be effective. I can function on less, but I'd rather not.

[MissHoneychurch]

127. ok, I start an hour later

so that explains that. But it takes me an hour to get ready to leave the house. And another hour to even get OUT of the bed. I am definitely not a morning person.

[GOPisEvil]

130. I made myself into somewhat of a morning person

I like getting out of work at 4:00. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

131. eewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

ahhhhhhhh blissful sleep :D

[GOPisEvil]

132. I know what you mean.

My bed is VERY comfortable. I hate leaving it every day. :D

[neweurope]

128. Hi Miss HoneyChurch!

You are luckier than me - hardly slept at all even though I didn't sleep yesterday :)

Did you eat your veggies?

----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

129. sorry to hear - hope you can sleep tonight

yes, I ate my veggies, today I will kill the leftovers.

BTW, can you give me those ingredients again for your tortellini salad?

[neweurope]

133. Thanks - and here you go:

Tortellini (wash a little in cold water after boiling)
red and green paprika
Onion
button mushrooms
Pepper
Garlic
Sauce: Olive Oil, Balsamico, Salt, Pepper, Parmesan Cheese, Basil.

I always cook half of the garlic with the vegetables (cook them al dente) and add the rest raw to the sauce. Next time I'll do the same with the onions, also

-----------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

134. thanks a lot

that salad was really yummy. I told you that already :9

[neweurope]

135. Glad to hear that :)

Maybe next time you'll get the best potato salad in the Western hemisphere. To tell the truth, though, my brother claims HE makes the best potato salad in the Western hemisphere. He doesn't, though *g* We can talk about that for hours, C. always thinks we're fighting ;)

----------------------

Remember Fallujah

Buhs to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

136. sounds good too

or I could bring a salad also.
How are the monsters and C.?

[neweurope]

137. The monsters are fine, C. brought me a red rose

(he has a good timing with his roses... shortly before I say "now this was the last straw" ;) )

Reminds me I have to call the blacksmith.

-----------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

138. so he got another chance?

what reminds you to call the blacksmith? That C. gave you a rose? :)

[neweurope]

139. No, that you asked how the horses are...

but the blacksmith isn't at home. Hope I won't forget later on.

Yes, he's getting another chance, a very small one, though *grumbles something dangerous sounding*

---------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[MissHoneychurch]

140. you know if you decide to drop him

I am here to help you with your garden and your horses

[neweurope]

141. That's very, very sweet of you, MissHoneychurch!

If I'm ever really in trouble I might call you. Thank you!

And now I'll be trying to sleep a little. Good-bye!
