Thanks for the support about boycotting HP!

(Bad HP! Very Bad HP!)

And MyrnaLynne, yes, it's the singing bro'... actually he's my only sibling.

I hope you got home safe and sound with all that snow. That's one thing I don't miss... freezing weather and snow...ok, that's 2 things.

OMB, about your Bro-in-law that got laid off in his 50's too and had a hard time finding a job! It's scary to say the least! Glad he eventually found one that suited him.

My Bro' is still stunned at this point. He's still at that: "I don't know what I'm going to do!" stage. He does have some savings, but that won't last forever. He's truly sick about this.

He really thought that with being with HP for 24 years, that his job was secure. HA, guess again... this is big business and they don't give a flying leap about their employees! It all boils down to the almighty dollar, and how much they can save by axing and screwing their loyal employees.

And they are not even going to try to help them get another job, or try to place them somewhere else in the company! Grrrrr! It just makes me so angry!

Ok, rant over.

So MLette likes taking pictures... that's really nice! Does she use your digital camera too?

My Lainie likes taking pictures too... she also took some photography classes in college and in HS. She had lots of fun with it. She's been so busy with school tho' that she really hasn't taken any pictures in awhile. But when the dogs do something cute, or she sees something interesting, she moans: "Awww, I wish I had my camera!"

She's taking her finals this week and next week, so she's one stressed out young lady, and adding my mother to the situation is not good at all!!!

As a matter of fact, she was so exhausted tonight that she threw herself in bed at 7pm and so I took mother home and didn't disturb Lainie.

As it was this morning, there was an accident on the freeway which made her about 10 minutes late for her final, and the professor still let her in the classroom (thank goodness), but that made her more stressed even before she took the test which wasn't good. Poor Lainie, she doesn't do stress well. She looked like she was ready to jump right out of her skin!

I asked her how she thinks she did, and she snapped: "I don't know! I could barely think because I was so stressed out! I don't want to talk about it." and she went in her room and slammed the door.

Now Lainie is normally not like that! So I just let it go and gave her, her space. Later, she was much better, and went to MOTHER's to do some things for her and brought her back with her because she wanted to see how I was doing.

Well, MOTHER surprized me with an early Christmas present! I've had my eye on this over-stuffed reclining rocking chair and it's on sale this week and she told me, that she'd help me pay for it, if I still wanted it! 'YES!' I squeeled!

So we went down to the store, and even tho' they were sold out of the color I wanted, they were still taking orders for it because they are expecting a big shipment to come in next week! So I paid for it, and got my receipt, and as soon as they come in, I'll have my new chair!

I'm sooo excited!

Thanks MOTHER! This tops any gift that she was planning on getting me!

Vero, Congratulations on getting a call back on that job!

See, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Good for you!

I wish you all the best of luck with that interview!
