jorr, my assistant went surfing a couple of weeks ago with no sunscreen. he was so badly burned on his back that when he lifted his shirt and turned to the side, he looked like a Frosted Mini Wheat!!
no rants this week, just one huge Rave: One award is great, two are even better. Reminders that so many things would not have been possible if I continued to let my career languish at CB.

I've never heard that description of a sun burnt person before! That's so funny!!!

Faina,
Had I opted to continue health insurance via COBRA when I quit working five years ago the quoted cost was a little more than $300/month. At the time I was 38 years old with no medical ailments or history.

RAVE - The weather is beautiful in KC, my tomato plants are doing great, I have 2 job interview's in a couple of weeks (looking to change industry )
and I'm off work today!!! Yeah! Oh yeah, and I just go my Zumba dvd's in the mail.
RANT - People in line at the drive thru bank that think they can balance their check book, ignore that people are in line behind them, and take 30 minutes doing who knows what before they notice the cylinder was already sent back to them. Don't they know its a beautiful day and I need to get home to my garden. Geez!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

rave- survived twelve days with broken shoulder and broken ankle and feel a little better every day- if i could just sleep sitting up.
rant- four more weeks to go with really uncomfortable sling/shoulder brace and ankle brace in this hot weather- but at least i'm not in a cast.
major rant- had to miss visit with my mother, daughter and granddaughter
rave- ronkala- virginia does sound lovely now. we're hoping to move not far from you, maybe by this fall!

I've never contributed to this but no time like the present...
Rant: My six-year-old threw up all night long and is missing "kindergarten graduation" today.
Rave: My two-year-old isn't throwing up....yet.

Rave: CAPH's and PamT's news!
Rant: Illness in our Fodor's community. Sending Good thoughts to those who are awaiting test results. Saraho, wishing you a speedy recovery -- ouch! Little children who puke -- poor things.
Rant: Rejection.
Rave: Great interview yesterday. Hoping for a second.
Rant: Fell "UP" the stairs after the interview, on the way out of the building. Thankfully no one saw me. Thankfully my Portfolio is huge -- saved my face/jaw from injury. My shoulder, arm, hip and left leg were not so lucky. Every move I make hurts. I must learn to slow down!
I'm not sure if this is a Rant or a Rave, just yet. The sale of my husband's company has been completed. I'm not happy with the dollar number that needs to be placed in escrow for the next two years. But it's standard practice, or so I am told. My husband is such a calm man.
Rave: Our son is a great financial advisor, lol.
Rave: Chilling tomorrow -- going to grab some theater tickets and dinner in Manhattan.
Rave: Theater tickets to Billy Elliot in London!
Have a safe and happy weekend, everyone : I hope the weather is sunny!

GoTravel..just send that bag of chips to me, LOL. Chips flavored with dill pickles, sigh, wonder if we have any here.
To all of you who have soreness and injured bodies, get well soon. Every once in awhile I go through a period of stumbling around too, not fun!!

Just one more RANT: Students who bring knives to school. Students who draw graphic pictures of guns and the people they shoot. And only show remorse because a call goes home to mom. Administrators who seem shocked. I'm glad this happened today -- now there is something concrete to work with before something catastrophic occurs.

Rave
ur big bike ride to raise money for the Civic Center had nearly perfect weather! We ended up raising almost $15k (still working on the final tally). Check it out, bike fans, and come join us next year!

Rant: Sad news posted here.
Rave: So many posters with no rants.
Rave: Otto, your expression "it rained so hard the sky must have had something to say" was a poetic beautiful tribute to your grandfather.
Rave: My 10 year old rescue dog got certified as a therapy dog last night AND so did our latest rescue, a two year old . The 10 year old ( a little mix) thought it was Westminster and pranced through the test like a champion.
Rave: It is a beautiful day in North Carolina (keep on, keepin' on, CANES!)
