Chewie I worked for this Church, Episcopalian Church..The pastor was the nicest guy ever.. we used to talk alot.. he feel in love with one of the church goers.. and they got married...and he decided it was time to leave...he told me that though he believes in GOD.. there were things in the bible, that was for everyone interpretation..things he didn't believe in either and it was a major conflict between him and the parishioners..so I was supposed to work the day shift and this beyotch was the morning shift... all I was supposed to do was sit and answer the phones..well she started coming less and less and here I was changing the Church bulletin board on the corner to making Sunday Bulletins....I even started to cover her ass in the mornings....well one day I am listening to messages from the phone machine, like I was instructed to do.. and I went too far and there was all these messages from people who were calling her a thief... one of them said that whenever there was a construction work to be done, she called her brother and the brothers bid was the highest on purpose and he always got the job.... well because the parishioners were an older crowd.. they didn't want to do anything to get any of the younger people in..which was another major reason Pastor Steven left....more control was given to this beyotch, because she made sure she only knew what to do and no one else...and one day her brother came in to do some work.. and he wanted to make a phone call.. and I remember this like it was 2 minutes ago.. even though I couldn't stand this beyotch.. I still was polite to her brother and asked if I could dial the number for him even as to not make waves...then I go on the computer for something and I notice, and yes I looked it was wrong of me, but I went into her personal folder and found that she had typed a note about me being rude to her brother and that note said things I would have never said...here I was in my late 40's.. and here she was in her mid 20's...and I knew the power she had over these elderly people.. so I bent over backwards to be nice.. but the note said otherwise and also.. the board members or whatever they were called would come into the office and ask where Cheryl was and I said I don't know..she made sure she went to the board and had me cut loose.. and alot of the ladies and gentlemen came in and said they know she was lying at the board meeting, but they were afraid to let her go because she was the only one who knew how to do certain things.. and on that job I was only getting paid a lousy 8 dollars an hour.. but for me I figured that paid for groceries.. I got F'D OVER real good on that job and I hope this Cheryl pays dearly for it....They loved the fact a Jewish girl would work at the Church..but Cheryl in my mind was a blackmailer....so I totally can understand how you feel.. I never thought that Church's or Temples would have this kind of crap.. but they do like everywhere else....

At my husband's day job.. the new manager finally did it and just F'ed over my husband's schedule, she scheduled him for 3 graveyard shifts on the days he works the night job.. which is supposed to end at 1am....now he has to leave that job at midnight to get back to the shelter by 12:30.. she knows he works a second job.. it was approved by them.. cause he has to have this paper signed yearly... that is just plain mean...

crazyone · 12-26-2012, 08:23 AM

Some Tamales are so good and some are NOT.. some are dry and have more corn masa to them and less meat and some are thing and have tons of meat...Mexican food is my hub's favorite anyway.. so I am going to have one for breakfast and throw 2 in his lunch for work tonight..

crazyone · 12-26-2012, 08:24 AM

NSV--you know how I thought I felt my ribcage is smaller? Well both MIL and my dad commented on it. That was nice especially from MIL who rarely says anything nice. It's almost like it makes her feel bad if someone else is good, kwim?

Mona · 12-26-2012, 09:40 AM

I'm home, jammied, and breakfasted.

Stopped by the store after work so I won't have to leave the house. Got some marked down ground beef. I plan on making some taco meat and chili. Got 2 huge packages so I'll freeze half of it for maybe meatloaf or something else.

Lynn hope you have a great time in Vegas!

chewiegand · 12-26-2012, 09:45 AM

My boys just stopped in and are on their way shopping. They both need jeans and got some Christmas money so they're off. Hope they find some good deals. We're having one of their friends sleep over tonight. Back to the usual I guess. Was going to do leftovers but now might just get them some frozen pizzas.

chewiegand · 12-26-2012, 09:54 AM

So we got no snow either. I would have liked a few inches. Oh well, it'll be a long winter.

debkeversole · 12-26-2012, 10:01 AM

nah spring will be here in less than 90 days March 20th

Man I could eat it as I cook it..

Lony · 12-26-2012, 10:32 AM

LOL so much for getting rid of Mr.McGrumpyPants. He called after I went back to bed to say they are not leaving till tomorrow and can I come get his bags. I told him no he could wait till lunch and I promptly went right back to sleep.

Yea and the "mark down beef" was $3.74/lb.

It's 93/7 though so at least it's got more meat in it and less waste. Normally I buy the 85/15 but they didn't have any and I really had my

set on ground beef.

Got the chili going in the crock pot and more beef browning for taco meat. I only had enough chili powder for the chili.

But I'm saved because I found some packets of taco seasoning mix in the pantry.

I bet your tired Linda....hope you rest up....you worked hard!,

Melinda - hope you are feeling better today. That cough sounds nasty - I had a cough like that last year at this time - ended up being bronchitis - and you need meds to get over it. I know how you hate docs too - but - they are a necessary evil sometimes.

I started from scratch making my sweet potatoes. I used brown sugar and butter - never heard nor thought about adding cream to them. They were so good - melt in your mouth so tasty good.

We didn't even get a trace of snow here! It was all south of here.

I wanted a little!!! Oh well....maybe next time.

I hope kcmama has a safe trip today.

You have pages wrote and I'm not even going to try to catch up. I just hope everyone had a great time with family. I know we did!!

My feet are cold and I need coffee so I'll catch you all later!

Sue - no snow/ice - just as well - when you have a very pregnant daughter to worry over. I thought of you every time I saw the nasty weather in OK. Was hoping it wasn't bad where you were.

I have always made just a roasted yam for myself only....they hate sweet potatoes and yams.. in fact my husband calls it nature's mistake.. but I saw at Walfarts they had a can on sale.. I figured no muss no fuss...it really was brown sugar that made it so delish..the cream was an after thought... I am feeling better today....I will see what happens this time I have been taking loads of stuff on a daily basis.. usually I don't take anything.. but I have been taking that Walgreens daily cold capsules, that work like magic on my son.. cough drops.. and aspirin aleve and ibuprofen....oh and hot peach herbal tea and seven up.. I am going to watch and see how it goes...and your right though sweet potatoes and butter and brown sugar is the best.. I swear I was eating a sweet potato pie....

crazyone · 12-26-2012, 11:16 AM

I am trying to sweep the living room floor.. but my stomach gets in the way of picking up the dirt...grrr....

Sorry, just venting. You can move along.

At least yours gets out of your hair for a few days. So, I end up with a grumpy stay-at-home one. Score one for Lony.

My frig is so jam packed with food. And it's a big frig. Open the door - and all I do is shift things around.

By the way - was it you that was using peach tea? Is it a true tea - or a bottled tea - was it snapple? Ever since it was mentioned, can't get the idea of peach tea - sounds yummy.

I'm not a fan of tamales. I don't like the masa part. It just seems doughy and has no flavor. I love most other mexican food though.

crazyone · 12-26-2012, 11:26 AM

My son said to me.. GOD Mom you make so much food... but I guess we are such huge eaters, hubs and I.. that it never lasts long...!!I still have the 2 ribs from my prime rib.. and I am looking forward to the sweet potatoes/yams...but I ate tons of it yesterday so not too much left...

My son doesn't like to stay home anymore with friends.. he likes to go and jollypop with them...and it's ok... when I was in high school, I stayed home alot and was bored and had no fun.. he is having fun...The one kid Matthew is filthy rich.. I am just curious as to what he got.. what do the the filthy rich give their kids.. he already has the latest Ipod, Iphone, Apple this and that.. so I am dying to know..

She baked in the oven until they were crunchy. Of course, her recipe was "you just do it." I have come close to duplicating them, but never exactly.
