LOL Jane.. ironically, my mom says the same thing. That's what you people worry about?! Like you're so unique, no one else has seen one before? Pff!! My mom keeps hers in her safe, with her will and other important stuff.. yeesh. And if she dies, I am to dispose of it before anyone else knows.

I tried a java chiller last week, I gotta say.. wasn't my thang. It tasted just like the protein drink I use to make (to tough it out). If you like them java chillers, you need to try it.. tasted just the same. Make strong expresso, freeze them into ice cube trays, then mix a couple with a scoop of vanilla protein powder, a dash of splenda, and a dash of skim milk.. blend and ta-da.. java chiller. Seriously. My sister played this song for me, first time I heard it I just laughed at her.. now it's catchy and I like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2in76ckcg

I wanted to go see Sex & The City movie tonight, but our fancy theatre's VIP is sold out for the next couple of days.. DARN!! Can't go to a movie like that without a martini in hand. I went and saw What Happens in Vegas last night. I can't stand Cameron Diaz, but I really wanted to see it. As always, she annoyed the crap out of me, but the movie was cute.

Terry & Jane - Yes, I sent it the day after we got back!! You should have received it by now?! They said they sent it on the 21st. I sent it to the Unit J address, that's right isn't it?

Oh man they are damn good dipped in pimento cheese. Haven't had that in years!! I ate one bag already, had it for snack last night and b'fast this morning. Num num.

I'm in Huntsville, but I went with Dr. Freeman in Anniston, AL.

WOOHOO!! That'll be fun. Remember right after my last fill, I told ya'll I woke up choking? Well it happened again last night. I woke up around 2am and in my dream I took 2 sips of 2 different things, and the 2nd one got stuck.. I woke up choking and spitting I guess heartburn gunk. It went up my nose, and I started running around the house looking for something to clear it out, meanwhile spitting on the floor in every room I went into lol. It went into my breathing tubes too I guess, I was choking on it. I ended up drinking and gurgling water, never went away. Even now I still taste whatever it was when I sniff really hard. Yuck!

OMG that customer from yesterday about the friggin blue/purple PMS color issue. I sent him a final e-mail explaining what is what, and that we did 100% what we were suppose to, and the info should be taken to his graphic artist who should understand. I get a voicemail this morning. SIGH. I call him, and I hear him yell and bitch about how he thinks we're using 'technical terms to cover our ass'. Dude, we did what we're suppose to do!!!!! So he keeps asking, "So you're not going to take any blame for this?" NO!!!!!!! Asshole. So then he demands to speak to a manager.. I am his manager. But I transfer him to the CEO, who won't take calls.. I told him he'll get a voicemail, leave a message. So then I go tell CEO the story, but he knows it, everyone around here has heard about it. I left him the proofs & samples, how we hit it 100% dead on.. CEO rarely will call anyone back, so I guess that's it. Got me riled up and it's not even noon!

It was not my friend, it was a post from another forum I frequent.. in any event, I thought it was extremely moving and wanted to share.

Happy Bandiversary Michelle!!! Jane GO GET BATTERIES!!!! I did find the exact horse picture (and 2 more really cute ones), out of Texas on Ebay, I imagine it's the same place. They make them blah blah, they are so pretty, no occasion coming up, think I'll just give my mom one and keep 2 for her xmas present hah. They were pretty cheap too. Tracy, I'm on the other side of the fence, but I admire you quitting. I gained weight and it made me panic, BUT I should have just tried to do something about it, but I am too weak to take on 2 things at once.. weight loss & quit smoking. And at this rate, since I plan to take Chantix again at 180lbish, it's going to be a while!! I wish I never smoked them in the first place, damn cancer sticks.

Oh and thanks Terry!! I couldn't find the one I wanted, but now know the name 'wavy tin picture' derrr..I kept looking for tin and didn't see anything.. anyway I ebayed wavy tin picture, and there is the horse one I was looking for!

I know ya'll aren't around here, but if anyone wants to get down here (I gotta FREE guest room ;o) ) Our company is sponsoring some airshow thing, Blue Angels & Golden Knights? Below is the email I'm sending to customers, but if anyone wants to come.. lemme know! White Tiger is pleased to announce that we have a Corporate Chalet for the Huntsville Airshow on Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th. I personally want to invite each of you and your families to come as our guest for either day. Our Chalet/Tent is right on the air strip, catered food, etc. It is a great time for all and we would love to have the you as our guests. RSVP back to me as soon as possible so that we can make sure that we have ample seating for our special guests. All I need to know is which day and how many seats.

NSV or a trick, when we were at the Alamo, I wanted a girl's t-shirt.. and I saw they had 2x, which is good for me. My Las Vegas girl's style shirt is a 2x (from LOVE), and it fits just right.. so I get home, put on the Alamo shirt and it's like a friggin tent on me. Either 2x girls style t-shirt is too big for me now, or they just make them BIG in texas hah. And anyone know what kind of art this thing is I bought at the street festival thing? The tin roof thing.. I have been googling and googling, and no info on them. Another stall had running horses on it I wanted to get for my mom, but didn't want to be carrying 2 around.. I figured I could find them online, but no?!

Oh and Haydee, I got your box right before we went to lunch, got back and saw the CUTE shirts, hopefully they will fit. And the cracklins were in there.. nom nom. They are wonderful, tell your mom I said thanks!!

You guys make me so jealous, aieeeee!~!

Angelica.. but that is the same as someone who describes themselves as 'tall blonde hair blue eyes'. They don't avoid all that and say "witty, charming, funny", etc. Just a description that sounds better than fat. You could omit it, but honestly it's not like they wouldn't notice when they meet.. and as it's been pointed out, not everyone can find overweight attractive. You can't hold that against someone, I would never in my life be able to stay with a guy under 5'10. I am 6'0, and I've met wonderful good guys.. I tried to date a guy who was 5'6, and he was awesome.. but I could not get over the height thing, and ya know.. that's me. And if I met him in an online ad, and he omits he's short for a guy, I'd find it misleading.. not because his height identifies him, but it does describe him.

Sending good vibes to DH Tracy!!!! Yes, customers do sign off on samples. They sign off on digital proofs, which have a disclaimer- DO NOT use for color matching.. they are to show content, to make sure pages are laid out right, etc. If they want color proofs, it's a $30 charge.. but 99% of the time, the graphic artist knows the colors they used, so no one needs to see a color proof. This is just a case of newbie graphic artist who didn't know what he was doing, and printing is CMYK, computers are RGB (color schemes), so most people in the industry (hopefully) understand the difference.. which is why everyone uses Pantone color matching.. it's like the color charts for paints.. actually, same system. Every color on the computer, you right click and can say, what is this color, and it gives you the make up to make that specific color.. and that's what we print from. We don't use the naked eye to say "Hm.. this looks blue, lets make it more blue". I got a choco chip cookie dough frostie from Wendy's.. shh don't tell my scale. And so far everyone likes it Haydee, I just hung it up-- I love it. Most the artwork in here is monet's fields and stuff, so it makes it all rustic and still white tigery...woot. Oh and as for benefits, the last guy on our bowling team, long time family friend, he is the GM or something for Burger King. He said they give gifts to people on their 5 year anniversary there, 10 year, etc. He says the value depends on the anniversary.. said he had to go buy a plasma tv for one of his 15 year employees, diamond earrings for a 5 year--they get to pick it out on a budget. Sounds neat, that would not fly here lol.

Holy crap Haydee, is the box big enough?

I'm confused, I thought you were talking about Haydee's new job paying for a TT.. and I don't think Haydee needs a TT lol.. Confused I am!!

Haydee I say go for it!! $$$ Honey! I work accounting here for back-up and it can be a nice job. Of course, any hospital accounting I ever deal with, is me being an irrate customer and they are incompetent idiots.. but whatever hah. I am having a weird day with customer. I don't know how much of this would be over the heads of people not in the printing industry but.. One customer, has been chewing out his CSR for a week, so she finally passed it on to me since I'm the 'higher up'. Essentially, the cd cover is purple. They wanted it blue. The computer looks blue when you look at it, but we don't go off of computer, every monitor is calibrated differently, you go off of the color build up (they all have a number CMYK calibration) His online proof says (they all do) do NOT look at this proof for color, it is for content only. What we do, is we pick the ACTUAL color values from their artwork.. for example this was a Pantone Purple color.. And we printed it DEAD ON, we pulled the Pantone swatches, we hit it 100%. But he wanted it blue. We can only print what they give us, but when he looks at it on his normal computer screen, it was blue. After explaining this to him a million times, he still insists we take 'responsibility' for printing it.. exactly how it was made. It's a graphic designer issue, if they wanted it blue, he made it blue for his computer. He didn't actually use real PMS colors, and his computer clearly wasn't calibrated for printing.. but I am guessing the designer is blaming us, even though we printed exactly what the file was. Then, another ego-crazy artist.. they are amazing like that. Willing to pay thousands, to actually come here and press check his job, paying to run it by itself.. all for 1,000 copies-- our minimum. And it's just a cover picture of him with a guitar. And he wants it to be dead on. Normally it's a $300 job, right now he's making it a $2,000 job + travel expenses.

Suzie!! You need to SMILE!!

Woohoo girls within 10lbs! YOU SUCK.. No no I mean I love ya'll.. I was wearing a heavy dress, wanted to weigh myself, so thought I'll take 2lbs off.. It was 224lb!! With heavy dress!! Since I don't believe I am 222lb, I am just claiming the 224lb happily. Scale is moving again. No cracklings for me :sad: :eek: I ran out to the mailbox after work.. to a bunch of junk mail. I made deviled chicken for dinner, never tried it before, it ended up extreeeemely salty, couldn't eat very much. Don't plan on makin' it again.

Wow Kat, sorry all that is happening, especially when you need to be home resting!!!

Terry- Yea, my mom said "I'll just be the bitch, I'm a grown woman and she's not going to tell me not to smoke". Ah, to be a fly on the wall. And her siblings are invited, but she doesn't want me & my sister there.. mom thinks it has to do with how we're all smokers. Her new siggy is the pic where we are all laughing at PAM!

Aw girl you didn't have to do that, you coulda put it all in the same box!
