Stop trying to make me write dirty things to you that over 7000 members will enjoy way too much. Now I will have to craft a PM that will give you a heart attack and your wife will never forgive me as she runs up and down the streets to the merchant shops spending all your life insurance since she didn't increase your death benefit amount before you keeled over.

We had a bad storm come through on Sunday, baseball sized hail. Couple of trees down and the shingles look a little worse for wear on the house and garage but they didn't look all that great to begin with. The windshield on my Ford Ranger was damaged and after 32 minutes of getting nowhere with the Allstate Insurance Company Regional Call Center, the agent is getting called today. You can see the exact spot where the hail hit and the windshield just cracked not shattered. Hail looked like a sea urchin - all kind of spiny. Started out dime size, went to quarter size, then to golf ball then to baseball. I saw it hit and just knew that something had happened. Truck body and topper are pinged a bit, but I don't care about that. The crack was larger this morning......

Nah, I'm not gonna say it... ![]() After a week of hand feeding eight little kittens, what used to called CLF's (Cute Little Felines) are now referred to as those FLC's (Fu(king Little Cats). Hopefully they will soon learn to drink out of bowl. ![]()

THL Rant:
My boss is a yutz. I had originally said I would work up until June 20th. That was before the car accident and the whole hospital stopping labor thing. That was before I started getting a MAXIMUM of 2-3 hours of sleep per night. That was before my feet were so swollen that they started to blend in with my calves. When I could wear my wedding rings without the fear that they are never going to come back off. When I was able to function as a normal adult and not as some over-tired delirious lunatic. Today I tell him I would like to change the date to June 13th instead, giving him 3 weeks notice. Keep in mind I have a subpoena for the week of June 16th to be in court because of the guy who tried to break in the house last year anyway. I was told that they would like me to stay until the 20th when I originally said I would work until. I am not even going to be here that last week as I will be in court (which I was asked if there is anyway I could get out of). They "need" me here and were not planning on my being gone until the 20th. What are they going to do if I go into labor early again? After this week they wont stop it. Are they going to have me log into my company issued laptop while I am in the operating room? Work while the Dr is stitching up the C-Section opening? Maybe the Dr would agree to perform the C-Section here at work to minimize the inconvenience to my supervisor. Maybe I could just hold the kid in with my legs crossed tightly until my boss feels he is ready for me to be gone. Ya know, its not like it is even my fault. I told these a$$clown$ that I was pregnant way back in November. They knew from week #7. Our company policey requires that we give only 30 days. 30 DAYS!! I gave 196 days notice!! I am now at week #35. In case anyone is slow, thats 28 weeks ago I told them I am pregnant. THEY HAVE HAD TIME TO PLAN! It is not my fault that they waited until three weeks ago to find a replacement. It is not my fault that the replacement is about as intelligent as pencil lead and could work here until he is of retirement age and would still not have a clue as to what he should be doing while he is here or how to go about doing it.

Most of them are - start tossing out words such as blood, uterus, cramping, pain, female hormonal changes and the urge to kill men - more specifically your replacement as he annoys you but you might like him if you didn't have all those jumbled hormones. Then bring up that you gave more than 30 days notice and they can go screw themselves. You shouldn't have any problem getting what you want after that.
