TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Boo46

Hi all,
Pooped from work so I haven't read back on all I've missed. Hope everyone is well.
I would like to ask a favor. My friend Mel has just been diagnosed with melanoma. She is not staged yet and is just petrified as I know we all can understand. Could you include her in your prayers please.
Hugs to all,
Sue

lizws

Sue - extra prayers for your friend.

Nicki - PLEASE come to Pinkstock. I know there's a place for you to stay and we so need to get together. PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE????????

Suz & Deb - can't wait to meet you guys.

I haven't read anything but the last few posts. I'm going to go back and try to catch up.

Hugs & Prayers for you all,
Liz

Gus

Nicki, I hope that you can find a way to come to Pinkstock. You can just sit and relax there, and I'll serenade you with Beatles tunes!

I'm getting so excited about meeting everyone!

Boo, I'll keep your friend in my prayers. My best friend had melanoma 6 years ago, and she is doing great.

Gotta go catch up...love and hugs to all!!
Sue

good evening sweet sisters and good morning to Peter. Time for me to walk the perimeter and tuck ya all in for the night. I missed you all last night as I was just too tired to even think about it. You probably wouldn't have been able to read my post anyway.
Knocking on Nicki's wagon door and walkin right in...the sunshine girls will return!!! I am determined to drag my butt outta bed on time from now on. I am also gonna sit right here and beg and plead with you to please, please, please come to Pinkstock....it would be so wonderful!!! I am sorry such a sad accident took place where you are.

Hmmmm...not seeing any wild critters around Debs wagon so I'll pop in and give her a hug. I know it's still early in Alaska...I could use a few of those extra hours LOL. Can't wait to meet you. Nate is really excited. Sweet dreams.

Holly hon...where are you and how is Feathers? Sending you a gentle hug tonight and praying for all the best.

I see Liz is home and so I'm just gonna slip in and give her a hug for being so darn sweet.

Sue...I'll sit with you and say a prayer for your friend. Hugs to you too tonight.

Shokk...no one home...off to the movies. You will have to let us know how it went.

Brenda...tucking you in and giving you a hug.
Cheri...I think you need to go to bed as we have to be up early for Puppy's magic carpet ride in the morning. Sweet dreams dear friend.
Angel...I haven't seen a post so that tells me you are behaving yourself and resting...don't forget to eat! I loved the pic you posted on my myspace and you have a very pretty myspace!
Suz...you got it...a really hot guy next door...whew. Calls me sweetheart and makes me melt LOL.
Betty...I had a peach fuzzy face and finally shaved it off! I was terrified that it would grow back black and stubbly but it never did. I still have a bit of it along my hairline but it barely shows so I ignore it. It's the stray eyebrows on my chin that get the best of me!!!
Denise...thoughts of company on my midnight dips in the pool were on my mind LOL. Chances are I'd have heard him walking across the field and got scared and ran for the house figuring it was a bear or something LOL. Sweet, happy dreams.
Madison...7 days till Pinkstock. woohoo...I am sooo excited.
Jankay...it was nice talking to you tonight.
Marsha...how are you feeling and how is your skin holding up? Hugs and tuckin you in...pleasant dreams.
Peter...I'm sorry about your brother and hope he gets feeling better soon. Very stressful I would imagine.

Looking for Gus but can't find her...hugs and tuckin you in...think I may take a trip up your way this fall. I need a road trip.

Jasmine...sweet dreams and talk to you tomorrow.

Puppy...I loved our talk tonight and Nate said his prayers. You are well covered and remember my "moment"...it was meant for both of us...I just know it...love you and sweet dreams as I tuck you in.

Yup...I talked to Puppy and she sounds good. Scared of course but knows that we are all with her tomorrow and praying hard. Gonna need Mazer so someone round up Amy and some cinammon rolls...Cheri won't be happy if she doesn't have Mazer breathing down her neck.

Gina...I miss you here sweet sister. I want you to know that I am so very happy that you created such a wonderful caring place for us. I love our circle family and it wouldn't be here had you not thought of it and pulled us all together. Thank you...sending love and hugs. Wish you too could be at Pinkstock.

CY...hope you are feeling well...I miss you too and you are in my prayers as always...sweet dreams.

Mena...Pop in and let us know how you are doing...inquiring minds need to know these things.

Shel...ok...where are you hiding missy...come out a play for a bit.
Colleen...haven't seen you today...thinking you and little man where off doing something but I forget what...tucking you in and saying a prayer for happy dreams.

Cherryl...hmmm...where are you? I seem to have misplaced you somewhere and we can't have that! Know that I am thinkin of you and tuckin you in too.

Ok...I know I'm missing a bunch of really important sisters but it's getting late and I have Pinkstock stuff that I have to get working on before heading off to bed...also saying some extra prayers for us all tonight...had an odd experience today that I can't explain but I believe that good things are to come.
I love each and every one of you...I'm happy to call you my family and I will see you in the morning.

Evening and morning,

Just had to come on and ask for a little inner circle hugs. My boss came in the am and lit into me about how terrible the conference was, how I'm not a team player, how I lie, on and on. This took place in a co-workers office in front of her and in hearing distance of the rest of the office. She said she is not going to allow me to let her "hang out to dry" with the board. She threatened to begin taping all our conversations. I told her go right ahead. I stayed cool, did call her a bully once and she said I haven't seen a bully yet to which I said well I'm sure you will be making my live here miserable until I resign. this went on for asbout 20 minutes. Nothing else was said the rest of the day, but when I got home I called the board chair, told her what happened and that I was waging a formal complaint of abuse in the workplace. The board personnel person called and I now have to fill out a conflict resolution form. I want to go through the proper channels, but I'll fill it out weith our attorny's help and return it in his envelope. I'm not going to take the crap anymore. Never in my life have I been treated this way by a boss and for fabrications on her part. i caught her in a couple of lies as she was ranting and that set her off more. I am so dreading tomorrow. I know until i get out of there it's going to be he**. One of my co-workers told me to tell any board member to personally call her and she would tell them exactly what happened. She's going to be writing up a stsatement for me.

So I'd appreciate sitting in the inner circle and bawling.

I love you guys.

Betty

CherrylH

Dear Betty,
This is horrible. Pleae feel our loving arms embraceing you. I know what it's like to work for a witch, but this one takes the cake. Sit right down in the middle and get some loving from your sisters.
love,
Cherryl

jasmine

Betty, that just sucks big pickles! Hugs! lots of them.

lizws

Betty, no boss no matter what situation should confront another employee in front of others. She was completely out of line and you are doing the correct thing. Go through the channels. I'm so sorry this has happened to you after all the hard work you put in at the conference. Seems to me she's covering her ass for something she didn't accomplish.

Consider yourself in the inner circle wrapped with all our arms around you. You cry all you want tonight. Go into work tomorrow and ignore the b****.

Gentle hugs
Liz

susanmcm

nicki, that would be great if you came to Pinkstock. It would be great to meet you. I feel like I have known you forever.

If we are taking a survey, I have face fuzz. Not long enough to braid though.

Suz you are my hero. Spinning class. Wow!

Nice picture Jankay

Wild Jan I love your picture so much. Such a cute kitty.

I am SO thinking about Puppy tonight. I'm glad you talked with her Vicki. I'm ready for the magic carpet to pick me up.

My sweet Cheri I hope you are doing well tonight. Better than average?

Boo, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I will certainly keep her in my prayers.

Job hunt is still going....going.....going.....going....
I'm still .........looking..looking...looking...looking..

hugs for everybody

susan

CherrylH

Vicke,
I'm here. I was being a bad girl to Peter on the party page. I couldn't help myself. I'll be better from now on...maybe. Thanks for thinking about me.

Cherryl

susanmcm

I know this is tough Betty but you are doing the right thing to take care of yourself. And the right thing for your company. Take heart.

and bawl away...it's so hard.

susan

Madison

Betty, sending you hugs....

Boo, your friend is in my prayers.

Puppy, sweet Puppy, hugs and prayers for you.....Cheri is driving the magic carpet....we will all be with you.

Nicki, PLEASE, PLEASE COME TO PINKSTOCK....sent you a PM

Not enough hours in the day....hopefully tomorrow I can play catch-up with all

hugs to all from A to Z.....

Good evening girls

I have caught up reading, but now I am crashing and going to bed.

Betty, how awful! I am glad you are reporting her and that you have a witness who will back you up.

Good night my friends,
XXXOOO

Afternoon all. Sitting here taking my prep pills for tomorrow's procedure. Can I

tell you I am starving?

Marsha, it's tomorrow. I've been on a liquid diet today, have finished 3/4 of the

pills I'm supposed to take tonight, and have a headache. Don't make me laugh - might

not be a good thing.

Vickie, see my comment to Marsha about not eating all day. I'm not waiting til dinner

tomorrow night - he's taking me to breakfast after we're done tomorrow!

Brenda, I get to pop pills instead of drinking all that goop; I wouldn't be able to do

it otherwise.

Peter, hugs to you. Depression is hard on everyone. Hope things are back to normal

tomorrow.

Jankay, hope your PT tomorrow goes well and you walk 200 feet.

Nicki, I would be so lucky to have a nurse like you. We need more like you.

Shirley, hope you enjoy lunch with your daughter. Sons are like that, aren't they?

Sheri, it doesn't matter how much you make, it's never enough. I agree with you about

letting teachers know they are doing a good job. My son's third grade teacher ended

up teaching my grandson when he was in third grade and we always Mrs. Haley know that we thought she was a great teacher.

Hi Cheri, I don't blame you for having cabin fever, I would be going stir crazy.

Vicki - Olga and Helga - that's pretty funny. Would her insurance cover her reduction if the dr. wrote up her back problems because of it?

Liz, you had to go through the prep for an oopherectomy too? Yuck.

Mandy, enjoy your vacation, drop in while you're gone if you can, otherwise, we'll catch up when you get back. Have fun.

Puppy, will be there tomorrow.

Deb, if your BFF from MI cannot come, get a car with GPS; at least it will direct you there. My next car will have GPS.

Shokk, hope you are staying safe from flying cannisters of Texas Tea.

Joyce, congrats on your one year anniversary. Sounds like Kevin is doing well.

WildJan, I took a vacation after treatment ended - had to wait a few months though because we planned it with other people but went to Hawaii for a week or 10 days and had the best time ever.

Always, I hate fighting with insurance companies.

Z, wish you could have stayed longer today when you posted. I'm sorry you are having a hard time with your mother and brother.

Suz, it's always the second day of exercise that hurts the worst. Guess I'm going to have to add you to the list of those to bug for colonoscopies. There are a few of you out there that need it.

Boo/Sue, Mel has been drawn into the center of the circle.

Betty, what an awful thing to happen and how unprofessional of her to lay into you in front of a co-worker. You are in the circle my dear.

It's taken me over 3 hours to read these responses and I bet my water bill increases 20% because of today. Taking a quick walk (better make it a jog) around the perimeter to tuck everyone in. I figure I might as well go to be early. Love you all.

Margaret

AlaskaDeb

Betty- I am sending you a big hug and a baseball bat to hit the $%&*@# boss with tomorrow! Better yet, sue his butt (him? her?...can't remember) You did the right thing and acted like a grown-up. i, on the other hand would now be in jail.... Hope tomorrow is better.

Who is picking me up for the carpet ride to be with Puppy in the morning? Saying a prayer for you Puppy

OK...Swamped with last minute stuff. I fly out Friday night and i don't even have my suitcases out yet! Yikes...

Bugs and fishes

Deb, do we need to bring some bail money to pinkstock for ya???!! Just in case...

TheShopMama

(((((Betty))))) My boss' son once asked me if I was one of those women who like to be beaten during sex because I put up with so much crap. There is no excuse for behavior such as you described. I am so sorry you had to go through that. What a small person your boss is!! Just CYA...... Cover your A... make sure you document everything. Hope tomorrow is better.
I just saw the explosion story on the news. I am glad you are all safe!
Marsha... you really make me laugh. I have no idea what you are "passing" through the mail, but your posts are always very humorous and we so need it.
((Shirley)) I know you are probably gone, but had to say my heart is with you. I will never forget the sound my sister made when she finally got to me the night Craig died. She was very close to him. God bless you and your family.
I see that many more of you are on my space now. I also just heard on the news that there are many, many identified
sex offenders on myspace as well. Please talk to your children about internet safety. I caught my nephew putting his phone number in a post!
Oh Peter, so sorry about your brother. I know that is a big burden on you. I have dealt with depression both as a patient and a friend. Keeping the meds regular will be most helpful.

dear sisters and brother, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am just so tired I cannot post another thought except to say to my "Aunt Puppy" that I love you and I know you will have a special angel with you tomorrow. God bless you my sister. Please ask Ed to call with an update! I love you! Miles is also praying!

I will also say that some of you know way too much about certain bodily functions. Has Amy been around ? One of my brother's goats attacked him last week. It could have been serious, but we all still had to snicker at him. I have missed so many of you... Jankay I hope you are doing well. I enjoy your posts so much. All right, really going to post this now and head for bed. I have about 4 more swallows of the beer I decided to drink for supper. From A to Z.... big hugs and prayers and positive healing thoughts. Cancer sucks. Love you!! Pam

Hello CG's

Puppy sending you love, hugs and well wishes for your surgery tomorrow. when you feel up it, please lt us know how you are doing.
betty -sorry that your boss is such an a** and doesn't appreciate all you do.
Deb - have a safe flight
Shokk - glad to hear that the explosion was not too close to your house.
Vickie - glad that one of your bosses were lt go. Hopefully it will make the condition at work better for you.
Z - glad't to see you check in. sorry to hear about you mom and brother. are you the only care taker for them?
Suz - the only exercise I do is walk, but haven't done that in over a week. with the pain meds and valium I am too loopy to try to walk. I feel like I can fall alseep at the drop of a pin.
Boo/sue - sorry to hear about your friend. I hope her treatments will be gentle on her. Sending hugs to you and her.
WildJan - great pic.
Joyce - happy one year. So happy to hear that your Kevin is doing good.
always hope - sorry you have to battle with the insurance company.

I've taken pages of notes, but can't read all I wrote. I am so tired - I keep noding off while writing this. Will take the sleeping pills and pain meds when I go to bed. Tomorrow I may just try the valium and see if that helps with the pain. I don't like being so "loopy" Cheri - don't forget to pick me up on the magic carpet for Puppy's procedure tomorrow morning, but promise me that you will drive carefully. i don' think I can handle any loops and can only hang on with the left hand.
Sending hugs to all my CG family. wishing everyone a feel good day. I love you all. Karen in Denver

Betty, I am so mad at your boss I could spit nails. how dare she do all that after all the hard work you put in. I'm with the others, you handled that with class and dignity. DOCUMENT everything girlfriend. Stupid, lazy people always screw up somewhere. You go have yourself and good ole cry in the center of the circle with you sisters looking out for you and then go get em! ((((((((((((((BETTY))))))))))))) Hugs, Marsha

BRSTN

Can't sleep - no big surprise there. So I'm up searching for health insurance (anybody use AARP?) and jobs. If I could quit tomorrow I would. I love what I do and I do a da** good job. But this person is making it impossible. Ok enough. I'm going to have another glass of wine. Thank you all for your love and hugs. I can feel all your arms around me. This isn't the end of the world or anything like it. I'm a BC survivor, so this is just a little bump in the road.

Puppy, big hugs for you. I'll be on the carpet tomorrow. You are in all our thoughts and prayers.

Peter, I'll make sure we do the southern dip to get you.

Z, it was so great to see you posting. That's super about the contract. Prayers for you and your mom and brother. You, too Peter.

All you Pinkstock ladies...please, please make sure there is bail money. And I for one will contribute if need be. And Deb just might have the need. LOL

WildJan, DH and I went for a long weekend in Savannah, a city we adore. It was Sept of 05 after I had finished treatments. We had a wonderful time.

Well, I think the wine has me mellow. I better spell check this. LOL

Hugs A to Z,

Betty

Only up to take my meds but want to say to Betty ... your boss Really ticks me off! Sounds like you handled things with such class. I'll second what Jaz said .. ignore the b**** at work tomorrow if at all possible. Cry all you want and feel all our arms around you. I hope you have better days at work while this gets resolved.

Also, ((((((((((Puppy))))))))))), big prayers for you for today.

Nicki, did you hear about this on the news?? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959718/

Will catch up later today..

Love & Hugs,
