Friday-My day from HELL - - --Saturday? You decide

2011-02-20T15:46:00.001-08:00

Friday

Friday I thought I was working the first shift at work(6am-1:30pm), as I get there at "the half-crack of dawn" I realize I am not scheduled to appear at work until 11am, the second shift til 7:30pm. Well I had planned my day under the assumption that I was getting off at 1:30pm, and I could then

run my errands
go to study group at 2:30
then dinner with a friend
then go to the Prizery for the play at 8pm

Well, I had to scratch all of the above except for #4, go to the play at the Prizery.
Meanwhile, I am already up early, not enough time to go back to bed. I had breakfast with the senior citizen support group, then went to the Ymca where I work out amongst the other senior citizens, then I went home and played around on the computer, then back to work at 11am.

My equilibrium was off balance, and my Feng shai was a disarray already. Any little thing just irked my nerves that normally wouldn't. I can't get in to details, but let your imagination run wild , I work in customer service! :D

With great relief, my friends at the Prizery and on Facebook remind me that tomorrow (Saturday) is a new day, with new adventures. Boy were they right!

Saturday

I head out to Wal-Mart to buy a pair of sunglasses because it was just too sunny bright to drive to Greensboro without. As I'm in my car trying to removed to ridiculously attached tag, I break the arm. GRR, My day is ruined already.
Next, I scurry off to fill up with gas. As I enter the gas station, I hit the curb, pretty hard. I fill up with gas and proceed to my destination. Then my "check engine" lights start flashing, my "Temperature" gauge rises. I pull over and investigate. I have knock loose my Radiator fluid reservoir. Hmm. No Greensboro for me. I wait on my rescue from my cousin. She gets to Danville and we slowly, and I mean very slowly make it home stopping every 4 miles to let the engine cool and add fluid the car. As we get closer home, and friend of my cousin come to bring more water for my radiator. As he inspects under the hood, he then tells me about what I have done to the reservoir. He says, the solution is , add the fluid to the radiator. We did, and it has been just peachy ever since. Next on my Bucket-List, get new reservoir.

I get home Saturday at 2pm, I got to the Y to relieve some stress. I come home watch TV, take a nap, my friend Lesley comes over and my day has finally calmed down, I'm in a great mode and everything is going smooth.

SYKE!!

I get pulled over by a cop on our way to Wendys.

Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: No sir, not a clue.
Officer: Did you know you have a headlight out?
Me: Oh yes, I do, I'm in the middle of getting things straight with my insurance company.
Officer: Oh , did you have a wreck?
Me: no
Officer : (puzzled look on his face)
Me:Well, a deer took a suicide dive in to the front of my car while driving home one night
Officer: Oh, i know what you mean. If your license come back clean I'm going to let you go on a warning, ok?
Me: ok.

The office was very cute I must add, and I was released on a warning.

Light. Camera , Action!!!

Okay, so . . . I have been gone for a while. I'm feeling like im missing something by not blogging, so guess what??? I'm back. I don't plan to update this everyday, but hopefully 3 or more times a week.

I'd like to share an AWESOME story with you readers. Yesterday (Feb 17th) I received a package in the mail. Not having a return address or a "from" I was shocked as to who in the world sent me something in a big brown package. I didn't order anything. As I open this, I discover its a book. Not just any book, but Paula Deens "The Lady and Sons of Savannah". I'm so excited. The interrogation process begins. I text/call everyone I could think of that has my address. After hours of searching, my secret admirer was Holly (Check out her etsy page). She is super awesome and want her to know how much she means to me. Holly was the one I called when I was sick in the hospital with Strep Throat/Viral Meningitis/Upper respiratory infection/and a boyfriend who broke up with me. Holly went thru a rough November with me. I bet she entertained the thought of changing her phone number. Right Holly?

Any-who, in the mean time, I'm trying to get invited to Paula Deens show so she can teach this young man here how to cook. So if you will, join me by writing on Paul Deens Facebook Wall "Host Barry Tuck on your cooking show!!!"

Inventions of Toilet Paper

2010-03-15T20:54:00.000-07:00

In 1935, Northern Tissue adWovertised "splinter-free" toilet paper. Yep, you read that right; early paper production techniques sometimes left splinters embedded in the paper. And you thought you had it tough!

Its amazing how we have advanced in the past years. Ouch!

Dear Readers

2010-03-09T22:02:00.001-08:00

I am writing this for your eyes to read. I feel this is my way of "getting it out". I feel so many emotions right now. Maybe you guys can vouch for me on this one.

It was probably 6 months ago when I met the person. He was a really cool guy, funny, great personality. We met through mutual friends. We went out to eat one time. It was Huddle House at like 3am. I considered it a date, maybe it was or maybe it wasn't. Hell, I don't know. After we hung out a few times, I decided that becoming more than friends would not work out.

This guy has recently been talking to another guy. That never bothered me. I knew it all along. I never thought of him, or him and the guy, or anything like that. I saw this guy Monday. I started thinking of they way things could have been if I pursued the relationship. I feel like maybe I really am missing out on what could have been a great milestone in my life, spending it with someone who I think I may like now. I don't see this as a jealously issue. I am lost for words when trying to explain how I feel.

I don't know what to do in this situation. Should I leave it alone? Should I tell my friend how I feel? After all, he isn't taken, yet! Will I be satisfied once I get what I want? Or will these feelings I have now fade away? If those feelings fade away, then I will have prevented him from finding happiness with his other friend.

Feel free to leave a comment.

Here's your sign . .

Alice in Wonderland

2010-03-05T20:42:00.000-08:00

I went and saw Alice in Wonderland. For those of you who didn't watch it, don't worry, I promise not to give the ending away. For this one main reason, I don't know. I fell asleep i'd say, ten minutes into the movie. I woke up when the movie was almost over. I can tell you one thing. I was one rather cranky person. I don't know why. I made it home, blogging this, now going to bed.

I will say, Johnny Depp was hot as expected!

What a lovely surprise!

2010-03-05T14:00:00.000-08:00

I Come out the house on my way to feed my goats. I see something inside the goats house. Keep in mind I only have two female goats, so I was wondering what was inside the house. I move closer and hear the sound of a baby goat. Now, at this point, im either dilusional or I have a miracle on the farm. I am just going to go with the assumption she was bred by the male buckling before he died several months ago. I have no other source to go off of.

But aren't these babies so adorable?

With the help of a dear friend. I decided to name the dark colored kid - Sir Prize and the light colored kid - Rose, after my favorite co-worker ever.

I love Arby's

2010-03-03T20:54:00.000-08:00

I give Arby's a 5 star rating in my book.

Every Arby's I have ever been to has done an outstanding job with their service. Every one of them has been Clean, almost spotless, and gave off the positive vibe. Each Arby's I've visited has been equiped with great employee's who always have a smile, a friendly personality. The food is always wonderful, fresh, and fast. My friends can vouch for me here. I have been known to be somewhere out of town, not knowing where I'm at. Go out to eat, and then drive a few minutes down the road and see an Arby's. I say with great enthusiasm-"Hey, look guys, there goes an Arby's" I flip my car around and we go in.

They think I'm crazy. We just ate. I don't care. I must patronize the greatest place ever. So I buy a drink or something, and the you-did-well bell.

How is this just not the cutest little piggie ever!!

So all weekend it was everything and more to keep me from getting one, or two, or nine hundred eighty-seven.

I want one so bad.

Sorry for the absence of my presence, but . .

2010-03-03T19:19:00.001-08:00

I kinda lost my identity. Meaning,

So I had my weekend planned. After work Friday I was going to Raleigh, then I was going to come back sometime Saturday. Then on Saturday I was going to go to Danville to Ham's for Karaoke. After that, it would be Sunday and was planning on spending the day with friends in Greensboro. Sunday night, go to Charlotte.

Let me share with what happened after I met up with Mr. Reality, and Mr. Delima.

I go to Raleigh and meet up with a great friend. Her and I then go to another someones house for a party. It was great! Well, I bump in to Mr. Delima and I loose my wallet. Well when I realized I had lost my wallet was Saturday around lunch time. I didn't have any cash in my wallet but I did, however, have this.
-Drivers License
-Debit Card
-Social Security Card
-Library Card
-YMCA Card
-Several business cards with important phone numbers.
-and last but not least, my wallet was homemade out of duct tape. :( so long, farewell,

Out of that list, the first three are most important. I canceled the debit card. Then I realize. Ya know, all my money is in my checking account. Its almost like im broke, but not really. So Saturday and Mr. Reality throws a curve balll my way, and tells me I'm not gonna be able to finish out my plans. Mom lends me some cash. I make it to Danville for Karaoke,and the rest is History.

Off to the DMV (Dept or Motor Vehicles) I go!

A series of unfortunate events occurred this week. I have been delayed in blogging due to school, mainly. I had a LOT to do this week.

On a bright note, I was privileged to meet some of my new blog readers, always glad to have extra page visits. It's getting me closer to google!!! Wooo Hooo..

Don't fear my friends, I will have more free evenings next week, so my stories will jump start on Monday / Tuesday.

Nothing will change, you will still be awarded with great news.

Let it go! Let Tiger Woods be!!

2010-02-24T12:00:00.000-08:00

Tiger Woods has been the NEWS media's biggest prey. The media has been on him like a knot on friggin log. Its rediculous how up on him they have been. I wish they would let him go and leave him be. His personal life is his personal life. Not ours. He is a pro golfer, not a mentor. I personally think the News Media just disrespected themselves by harrassing this man.

On the Radio this morning (Sirius Satelite Ch 50-The Heat) The DJ, whoever it was, said,

"I spoke with Tiger Woods personally and he told me to dedicate THIS song to all my ladies I had an affair with".

Really? YOU spoke with Tiger, even when he wouldn't speak to the press. Yeah, ok!!

Any way.

I'm done ranting now.

8pm-I'm off work. With many possible ideas of what I may do running through my head.

8:15pm-I arrive at home to find myself locked out. I don't have house keys.
convienently enough my phone is dead. I can't call mom. I go to my cousin house who has a spare key. She isn't home. Guess what? She is out with my mom.

The fustration is growing rapidly.

I find mom at a fundraiser party. Home at 9pm.

I figure its to late to go anywhere now. Grr.

10pm- Barry is hungry- Barry makes Bowl of Cereal- milk taste sour. Grr

I run to town. I am battling between Bo Jangles, and Mexican food. I get to the intersection. To the left is Bo Jangles, the right is Mexican. Tough decision, the moment is crucial. What will I do.

Easy-take a right, because to the left is a train. :(

I'm home now, finished my late night dinner.

Is the world against me tonight?

I keep seeing this picture on my computer. It was from my trip to Hyco Lake in Roxboro,NC. As you might tell, Roxboro is going to be where I retire. LOL. I took this picture with my old phone so the details are a little fuzzy. . . It you have never been to Hyco Lake, you should definately make your way down. Its great a great , clean, beautiful lake...

Please Summer, hurry back!!

Few pics from Uptown Roxboro,NC

2010-02-15T16:03:00.000-08:00

Myself, along side my sidekick, LA, went cruising into Roxboro, NC. I like that place. We went to find a book, with no success. I was fighting with decisions on wether to eat at Taco Bell or Vesuvios. I wrestled back and forth with the two until we both decided we can get Taco Bell anywhere.
We ate at Vesuvios, located by the Person County Court House in Uptown Roxboro. It was great. LA had the Hot Ham n Cheese Sub, I had he Pepperoni Roll. The bread was absolutely amazing. The fries were cooked to a perfectious crisp. Above all the sweet tea was fabulous.

Great job to the cooks, waitress, and everyone else at Vesuvios!!

Then the first photo of our walking tour around Uptown Roxboro.

I just love the old mail box.

I'm not sure what goes on inside this building, but I loved the architectural design and art work that took place here.

Aparently a night club is Roxboro. I didn't see that coming. I love the picture I took, the angle, lines, color, everything. Even that random guy.

We visited the Kirby Theater and Art Studio. adjacent to the left. Fascinating art work. (Picture Courtesy of LeighAnn Buch)

Here is another pic. This is of a Pharmacy Drug Store. I loved the way this town has strived to incorporate as much originality as possible. I have always been a fan of Roxboro,NC. (Picture Courtesy of LeighAnn Bush)

(Photo Courtesy by LeighAnn Bush) She did an awesome job capturing this scene.

What is going on outside?

2010-02-15T15:27:00.000-08:00

As I left town, driving home, this large black cloud followed. The faster I went, the more it seemed to keep up. Ah. I stop in the median to take a picture, and share with you guys.

As I look ahead . . I see this.

As I look to my left, . . I see . .

Makes for an interesting night, huh?

2010-02-13T15:34:00.000-08:00

So today my mother, my brother, and myself went out shopping. To kick off the day we went to Cici's Pizza. It was packed like crazy. At the table across from us was a guy about my age or a little younger 18 - 19 ish. He was surrounded by loud obnoxious chaps. I could only help but notice how tortured he looked as he tried to ignore them by reading. I tell mom, "I feel so sorry for that kid" . On the way out to the car, he was in his parents van, and locked the doors and wouldn' let the kids in. The kids kept yelling, "Unlock the door, its cold out here." I laughed my tail off. I love revenge. Sweet revenge. Rock on you cool dude, you!!!

The recent weather has been ferocious. The aggressive wind beating against the house, competing with cars as they go to-and-fro , causing power outages in some areas. This just sounds like an awful day, definitely not a day one could enjoy.

Wrong. Me and my friend, LA, took great advantage of the high winds and reconnected with our childhood years and flew kites at Edmund's Park. I/We had the best time of my life. You can buy Kites at Wal-Mart ranging from $1-$10. Cheap great entertainment.

I LOVE YOU, LA!!

Who let the dogs out?

2010-02-11T07:50:00.000-08:00

Every week at Halifax Regional Hospital the patients get a very special visit from Sir Nick. Sir Nick is a Papillon. Papillons have been bred over the years to be compassionate and caring animals. The almost 4 year old Sir Nick has been a qualified Therapist since he was 12 months old.

Owner of Sir Nick, Vickie Ganey says, "Every week patients can make appointments for Sir Nick to make his visits."
Sir Nick likes being the center of attention at HRH. He is stopped by workers, visitors and children in the halls and waiting rooms.

Ganey also stated that Sir Nick is very good at sensing emotions. "Sir Nick can sense when someone has allergies or doesn't like dogs, it's just a sense he feels and leaves them alone".
Sir Nick doesn't just visit patients, there's more.

He has recently completed his training with Federal Emergency Management Agency to be a certified Disaster Stress Relief Dog.

Ganey is the Co-founder of ATT search dogs (Air Scent, Tracking, and Trailing) in which Sir Nick will become certified in the Spring. Currently there are 5 other dogs in the group.
Ganey said she has also taken Sir Nick to South Boston Elementary one year for Reading Therapy.

"One day a week the kids would each get a book and read aloud to the dogs while they sit with them. This was proved that the kids showed a dramatic improvement within that year.

Ganey said she and Sir Nick have greatly enjoyed visiting the patients at Halifax Regional Hospital.

Where has she been hiding? I kinda like this girl. I hope she continues making these songs!

Picture!!

2010-02-07T07:28:00.000-08:00

Something about this gets my attention. I can't quite figure out what it means to me.
Its almost like I feel it is saying, "Life on its own" or a quote from Beyonce's song-Single Ladies "...I'm doing my own little thing..."

Look at it though. These plants and other life, are growing on an old pillar, a pillar that once used to be the bridge we used to cross the Dan River. When the new bridge was built, those pillars were retired and never again used. It is kinda like, the pillar is still in use and never died. Why the pillars were not tore down is beyond me, but I love the scene here. Its amazing how its out there in the open with not support yet still living and continuing to grow. It also makes me think back to when I read about Oprah Winfrey's life story. Oprah started out as a girl in streets, poor as dirt, and now the wealthiest woman in the world. Oprah proved that even if have nothing, you can still be whatever you want.

This picture has so many meanings to me.

What does it mean to you?

New Job Position

2010-02-05T17:37:00.000-08:00

Up until last week, I have been working at Hardee's in the morning, which I LOVED. When I took on the position at the Halifax Regional Hospital in November 09', I worked the evening shifts there and kept my mornings at Hardees. That worked fine for a while.

I have always heard, "If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life"

Very True!

I loved Hardee's because I was around people all day long, regular customers were a hoot, and I loved everyone I worked with.

I thought the Hospital would be a great place for me to go and work since I would be delivering food to patients room and interacting with them. It was everything I imagined. I enjoyed it very much. I would make corny jokes, like,
*knock knock, and instead of saying room service, i'd say, Domino's"

I applied and received the full time position as a cashier in the hospitals cafeteria. I have been training this week and working some longggg hours. I can only be thankful for having a job in which I love and obtain. I still crack up with my nurses, PA's, NP's, and Dr's.

I look forward to what this position will bring. I have quit Hardee's temporarily until I can work it back in my schedule. I can't leave it alone, I just love it soo much!

Thanks go out to all my customers for making my work experience a great one!

Thursday Nights Karaoke was a BLAST

2010-02-05T16:57:00.000-08:00

My Thursday started around 6a.m. that morning, and worked til 1:30 pm. I went home and came back to work my second shift from 4pm to 8pm. Then after I got off it was time to Karaoke!!

Karaoke night was a blast, I have never seen such a crowd at applebees. By 9:30 or so, they had reached max capacity. I am hoping a different alternative will be arranged for next week. I had such a great time, and it looks everybody else did too!!

Karaoke is every Thursday night at Applebees in South Boston. Is sooo much fun! Come join.

Thats a wrap

2010-02-03T19:49:00.000-08:00

not a chicken wrap, silly.

Last night (Tuesday) I got sick at work, and went home. I was sick all night. up chucking every hour of the night. Not getting any sleep, I was sore, I was restless, I was so ready to be well again.

I give all props to women. I don't know how they do it. When I get sick, im the biggest baby ever. I finally found my weakness, Yay. I hate it when you go to a job interview and they ask, "What would you say your biggest weakness is?" I always say nothing, because Barry is the man with a plan.

Anyway, women are sick for like 7 days, every 28 days. I couldn't bear to stand that. Then on top of that, women have babies, which brings along morning sickness. Then the pain of carring that thing around for 9 months, then the extra weeks followed by the baby need feeding every 2 hours. How do women do it? Can they write us men a "how to" book?

This morning, (Wednesday) I go to check on my sick goat, meanwhile I am still sick. She looked almost dead, but still hada faint breath. I called he vet, and rushed over. Chloe died in the car on the way to the vets office. I went inside, where I shed my tears in greif over my goat. Chloe was 4 yrs old, and was on her way to becoming an animal assisted therapist.

I finish up at the Halifax vets office, where they ran test I didnt approve and stuck charges to my account. Poofah.

I go to history class, where Mrs. Ward lightened the mood with her whityness personality.

I make it home, type my assignment for english and email it to my teacher. Help dad cut down a tree at the last minute so Granny can stay warm. Love ya Granny!

I go to sleep. Get in some NCIS, then went to town for some toast and lemonade.

Back home and spent the night on Facebook and watch the old movie "Big Trouble in Little China"

R.I.P. Chloe.

Awkward Silence in an Elevator

2010-02-03T18:18:00.000-08:00

I work at the hospital delivering food. I've come to realize that the elevator can be the most awkward ime of the day. People you don't know, you stand all quiet, look at the numbers as they count down or up, wait for the ding, and as the awkward silence grows louder and louder, the door opens. I can finally breathe again.

So what can you do to break the silence? I have browsed the web and came up with some idea from Yahoo chat rooms and etc.

1- Say something random like "I want a duck" or "Why is palindrome not spelt the same way backwards?"
I'm
2- Compliment the persons clothing

3- suggest the person looks better in a different color.

4- say "I'm thinking of buying a speed boat, what color is best?

5-make fart noise with your mouth.

6-fart loud, a silent fart would just smell and give a more awkward feeling

7-Start laughing uncontrollably, roll around on the floor.

8- tell a joke

9- Ask "Do you hear that?" The others ask"Hear what?" You respond with "The awkward silence."

10- call the person a douche bag, then say you were practicing tourette syndrome, and twitch

11- Fish out your nail clipper and start clipping your nails!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday-Deborah!

2010-02-03T15:58:00.000-08:00

Deborah is such a cool rockin' lady. I am going to dedicate a special blog post, just for her. Because - -I'm that cool - and so is she. Almost as cool as Rachel Ray, but we will save that for another day.

I tried to upload a video for you, but that didn't work. So a picture and a link to a YouTube video will have to suffice.

So instead of me leaving you a comment on Facebook, I decided to go all out and make your day.

I hope you enjoyed this Deborah, because I made it just for you!!!

Dear Supporters of Haiti

2010-02-02T17:00:00.000-08:00

To all you Americans who feel the need to jump up and donate to Haiti because they are in need. Take a look around you and you will see that your very own neighbor needs help. It frustrates me to no end to see how everyone is so energized to help Haiti, but noone in America. California has earthquakes, when are we donate to that? Florida gets slammed with hurricanes, when are we gonna donate to them? Mid-west gets tornado and sand storms, when are we gonna donate to that?

Its time America prioritize and get it together.

Signed,

Dinis Bros Pizza!

2010-02-02T08:59:00.000-08:00

I totally recommend Dinis Bros Pizza. These guys really now how to cook Italain food. Maybe they are Italian, maybe they aren't. It doesn't matter, its good stuff.

Heres what I devoured yesterday.

Go visit Dinis Bro, and when you do, tell them that this blog refered you. They will be subjective to the whole thing, because they don't know me that well, and wonder what the heck you are talking about.

Just Sayin' !

Here my Chirrin'

2010-02-01T17:28:00.000-08:00

I am the rightful owner of three very love able Capra hircus. Haha-figure that out.

Flossy is the white goat. She is a rescue project. When I was at the farm purchasing my other goats, the owners were telling me how a pain in the tail she was and that they were going to sell her as food. I couldn't take it. I bought her right then and there. I have had her for a year, and only touched her probably three times.

Flossy is very shy and distant. I assume she was abused in her younger days. This goat is special. She can FLY. I'm not kidding. She jumps every fence I've ever put her in.

The brown goat in the middle is Chloe. Chloe is eventually going to be an animal assisted therapist.

Lute, the brown goat on the far right, may also be a therapist later on. They have the best personalities ever.

I love all my goats.

Snowman Hunting *with freaquent updates

2010-02-01T07:46:00.000-08:00

I've been stuck in town for 4 days. This snow has really put a hault to my travels. Since I was finally able to get my car moving today, I decided to go "Snowman Hunting".

Snowman hunting consisted of shooting snowmen with my camera! Hehe. Here are the few I found within 30 minutes.

World biggest Epic Fail. What? Did they just get lazy and say the
heck with it, I'm throwing a ball on there for the head?

Congrats to

Pink looks good on everyone, even snow-women.

Renee Washington, stylist at Executive Cuts, is giving "free haircuts" to employees of ABB.

Washington says she just recently located here. When she heard about the ABB laying off 29 employees last Thursday, she knew she just had to do something.

Renee said, "While I am trying to build clientele, I want to let the community know I am here to give back"

"A free haircut is one less over head expense, especially to the laid off employees" she said, "Plus they get the clean cut look when they are going to the unemployment office , job hunts, or interviews."

Wayne Ferguson, owner of Executive Cuts, said "She may do a different Factory each week to help out in the community."

Washington will be giving free haircuts to ABB employees from Thursday 28th until Saturday 6th.

Give her a call, go get a haircut, and tell her how great a person she is.
415 Main Street
South Boston, VA 24592-3241
(434) 517-0330

This make me feel good to know such great people are out there.

Thank you, Renee, for showing that Community support is important through hard times.

Is it rude to . . .

2010-01-27T20:22:00.000-08:00

. . . Talk on the phone while using the bathroom?

I have been on the phone before and the urge to use the bathroom came up. I didn't say-"Hold on, ill be right back" I just simply went and took care of business.

1] - I don't think it is rude, because the person you are talking to does not have a clue to what you are doing, unless you are constipated and your are grunting and straining so hard the blood vessels in your forehead start buldging, but hey they can't see that.

2] - I think it is rude if they hear in the background the sound of a toilet flushing, but the simple solution could be, MUTE your phone. Every phone has a mute button. Put it to use.

Barry's Thoughts of the day.

Go Volunteer, Visit a Friend, DO SOMETHING ELSE!

2010-01-27T19:00:00.000-08:00

All over the TV, Magazines,Newspapers,Radio, is non stop STAB-STAB-STAB Obama. I am quick to say, No, I did no vote for Obama. Some find this odd, me being gay and voting for the Republican John McCain who does not support Gay Marriage. I put selffish things like that aside. Hell, I'm not ready to get married anyway. I don't like the Universal Health Care. I DO like a FairTax.

However, I am also quick to realize that Obama won, and is now my President. I may not approve of this, but stabbing him with every minute of my life is not going to change that.

I wish people would lay off his case. Maybe he could get something done without all the chaos everyone is throwing. It just tires me every single time. GRR I get so fustrated.

Hey Y'all. . .How y'all doing? Go grab a stick of Butter, I'll be right back!

2010-01-26T19:06:00.000-08:00

I do happen to be in LOVE with Paula Deen. Its more her personality and her accent that I love the most. Not so much her food. Alot of it looks good, but im a picky eater. How can you not love her smile? Just look at it, you just wanna pinch those little botoxed cheeks of her's.

For Example: I absolutely LOVE Butter Beans, and I like corn, but if you mix the two together, I will resent you FOR LIFE!!!

Tonight I was running food all over the Hospital to patients. While waiting for the elevator, I saw on TV in the waiting room Paula Deen. I just wanted to sit there so bad and just enjoy her show, in the same way I do with Rachel Ray.

But, I couldn't, I had people to feed. The night went well, everyone got their food on time. I love the nurses at the hospital, well, most of them.

I left work at 8pm, and then went to meet Waverly at Bo Jangles. I don't know about you but, for the past two weeks i've been eating Bo Jangles, and still just can't get enough. I love it.

I think its gonna snow this weekend, I don't really care either way, I am just ready for summer. I want to go swimming, sun tanning,hot boy watching, etc.

I WANT YOU!

2010-01-25T21:29:00.000-08:00

So this is a tid bit in a sprinkle winkle of time to late for evening cup of coffee and lunch with the next door neighboor from across the street because she is walking her dog to the dry cleaners to pick up her mail and . . Well lets quit the small talk and jump right to the point.

Karin Kuhn, is a Realtor in Clarksville,VA she is the lovely little lady on the Left, and I , and the sexy young man on he right.

When I was asked if i'd dress up as Uncle Sam in the Clarksville, Va Parade, I was excited.

It was, Obviously, 4th of July weekend, and my family was camping at the lake. It was a Saturday I believe, I left that morning and went up to the town to meet Karin, put on my striped pants, blue jacket, and the fabulous cotton beard.

I greatly enjoyed myself-took a few photos with the elderly-gave out candy-made some smiles-I just absolutely loved it.

I hope that next year I can have the priviledge to do this again.

Happy 4th of July everyone!
Karin is a great lady, and full of energy.

Urgent attention needed!

Hey, How Are You?

2010-01-24T18:34:00.000-08:00

I was working the other morning, when a guy walks in to place his order. He looks to be a construction worker.

Cashier: Hey, how are you doing today?

Fella' : (In a very hyper friendly tone) I'm doing so good I can hardly stand it, and If I was doing any better its be two of me, and then YOU couldn't stand it.

He laughs, Cashier Laughs, I laugh, we have never heard that one before, but I loved it.

He continued to go off about how he is going fishing, mind you it is 20 degrees outside.

He said it was his only day to go since he normally works 12 to 14 hour shift 6-7 days a week.

We said, whoa, thats alot. He said, well, I'm greatful I can stand up each morning to put boots on my feet.

This is a prime example of how people should be.

Nothing like Granny!

2010-01-24T18:11:00.000-08:00

I was on Facebook one day, and can't quite remember how this came about, but I saw the Facebook account for Granny Pearl. My first thoughts were, someones Grandma has Facebook, how AWESOME! Another thing that drew me in was her lovely default picture. I click on her page, its private, so I submited a request for our Friendship.

Granny Pearl quickly accepted.

I have fallen in Love with Granny Pearl. No matter how your day is going, she always has a way to pick you up. I will give you a preview of her typical status's

I introduce you to Waverly!

2010-01-21T10:48:00.000-08:00

Waverly is one of my favorite customers at Hardees. We have him down to a science.

Morning- Coffee & Biscuit and Gravy

Lunch- Coffee & Side Salad with Honey Mustard

Night- Coffee

Well, since we change the coffee brand, he doesn't like it, so he now goes else where.

I sometimes meet him on nights I'm getting off at the Hospital and socialize. He is so funny, and the only 72 year old man I know that can operate an iPhone.

Waverly said something funny the other night,

"Have you ever seen a one-legged man at an ass kickin contest"?

I laughed til I couldn't anymore. I had never heard of that before,

I replied with, "No, I haven't"

He said, "Because it doesn't happen often".

Waverly is the coolest old man I know. I look up to him.

A Week in Review

2010-01-21T10:40:00.000-08:00

So I work at the Local Hospital part-time in the Dietary Dept delivering food trays to the patients. I absolutely LOVE my job there. At first it was depressing seeing all the sick people, but I began to look beyond their sickness as I continued to serve them.

I was off the whole weekend (3 days), when I went back on Monday I was delivering food to a room with a patient and his wife.

As I walked in, the wife said, "we have missed you this weekend,glad to see my boy"

That just makes me soo happy.

I still keep my morning job at Hardee's because, well, I love it. I can't surround myself with enough people at one time. What can I say, I LOVE PEOPLE-and my job's.

2010-01-16T19:24:00.000-08:00

This is copied from MY FaceBook where I posted this story as a note-

I have been a customer of Alltel since May 2008. I never had one problem with Alltel, the customer service was great, as well as the service. When we were briefly notified of the buy-out, I thought nothing of it. My service would be the same right?
In June 2009, I received my first bill from the Verizon office. That bill was $220, I called and argued it out. They claimed it was from texting/internet/non mobile numbers I called. This was all wrong, I had the unlimited data package, and my call record was not over my 500 anytime minutes. As a responsible customer, I paid my normal rate of $70 anyway, even though the bill was over charged.
July, I had the same problem, the finance charges kept adding up. August, my bill had accumulated to $860. Each time I called customer service, or went to the Verizon store I was told they were looking into it. Why waws my phone service disconnected?

Now September I was still getting harrassed by Verizon saying my accunt was passed due. I have talked with many reps/supervisors. This time I decided to get something done, I was going to protest. I then took some plywood, spray paint, and created a sign "HONK, if verizon screwed u over" I place this sign in front of the Verizon store, little after 7pm on a Monday- 9-21-09. I got alot of attention. The verizon store managers came out, looked at the sign. One manager attempted to take my sign down. I told him to leave it alone. I was on public domain, I had every right to be there in civil protest. They threatened to call the police. I stood my ground. The manager then later came out and we discussed all my Verizon problems. The Manager went inside the store to look up my account, he then came back outside, and had adjusted my account to its proper amount. He then went inside to reconnect my phone service, in the meantime I decided to take the sign down since they were trying to cooperate. Fair enough I think.

* I had a lot of comments on Facebook. People here are always talking about my Verizon Protest. Not a day goes by it seems.

SouthSideCentral News Blog covered the story as well.

2010-01-12T19:41:00.001-08:00

BillFold Bob-rah!

2010-01-06T18:17:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, let me tell you what happened today at work.

I was working the Drive-Thru window, taking orders and passing them out.

This particular car pulls up to order. I press the button on my headset to speak to them, and all I hear was

"Bob-rah, where my billfold, Bob-rah?" I think the person with the billfold was actually named Barbara, but it was pronounced, Bob-Rah.

My and my co-workers laughed a while on that one.

GREAT DAY in my book!
