This is a freebie site that has everything!!!!! The cool thing about this site is that they show you pictures of the deal (kinda like yelp i guess), and you can search by location (you can save your time and find what you're looking for around your area), by categories or by keywords yummy

If you all could, I need two quick prayers. The first is for a friend of the family. They are in Indiana and just had their second child on Tuesday, a little girl named Nevaeh Hope. She was just rushed to the hospital today and she is very jaundice. She has an infection and a white blood cell count of 23 (it should be 10).

Second is for my Grandmother. She leaves tomorrow for Michigan on a trip but she is starting to get a UTI. Please pray for her, she is a very special person in my life and I hate to see when she is uncomfortable or ill.

Comfort I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry that this continues to weigh on you and to echo the many thoughts and supportive statements we on here have made to you in the past. Be strong and do what you need to protect yourself. You have a big and caring heart, but try not to let other people's actions become your problems/responsibilities unless there are no other workable options. You have a long and hopefully happy life ahead of you and need to do the right thing for you. Make no decisions rashly, be thoughtful, and be true to yourself.

Thanks sweetie!!! The thing with my sister was just a matter of time before she did it but the news with my niece has me just so dissapointed that she rushed into becoming a woman and a mom at such a young age...

I posted about the number of death notices that came out last Monday and how shocking it was. What I didn't post about was that they notices continued throughout the week and sadly they continue today with a notice that a coworkers' MIL passed away this weeked. I can't remember hearing about so many deaths in such a short timespan before. Between my roommate and I, we have had a lot of them this month and it makes one wonder and think. Add all this to the death subthemes in my book, and I have been coping with a lot of this on top of the emotional effects of the book and life in general. I spent a lot of this weekend reading and most of last week and I'm still 10+ chapters to go. I've not printed or print-previewed all the chapters, but there are many that run 120-150 pages in length so I'm getting a lot of me time lately as I dive into this book.

I sold one of the tickets yesterday, but I'm a tad concerned about the transaction.
The buyer was persistant about the sale and I caught on that he called me at work leaving voicemail and my house several times. Going back over my notes, I see he called with more than one name and could not keep his story straight. Things like changing the name of the city he was from, where he went to school, and so on. I got $50 in cash and the rest by paypal, and I hope there are no other issues. Where I thought I had three people wanting to buy the tickets, it turns out that I only had one. Here's to hoping the other ticket sells.

Back to work. I'm so happy for those of you that have jobs that you love and a reduced concern about stability on the job front. Wishing everyone employed to keep their income flowing and those looking to find good work to find it. I wish things were better, but I come in every day trying to do the best I can that day and striving to make it through the day. There are ups and downs in everything in life, including work, and the best we can hope for is to ride them out with grace and style. That's the thing about having to work really hard to reach a summit, you often times get to enjoy the ride down with some excitement.

I have a challenge ahead of me it seems. My 91 year old uncle and my 85 year old father are not speaking over a phone call where politics became too heated. I'm caught in the middle between the two, especially after a call from my uncle about it that made me rather uncomfortable. I tried to patch it up, and I tried to encourage that some topics like politics and religion are good topics to avoid. I don't think my Uncle has it in him anymore and from what his talking points to me were I think he's getting talking points from one news source only. I know my Dad at least has several news sources and facts behind much of his positions, but to be honest the real issues and answers usually lie somewhere in the middle between the two political parties and we would all be better off if our politicians would compromise. Anyway - I have some work ahead of me but I have told them both that a lifetime of family is nothing to throw away over political beliefs and they should continue to keep in touch but stick to other topics when they speak. I know my Aunt kept agreeing with me. Perhaps between Mom, my aunt, and I we can get these two speaking again.

Wishing you all better days ahead and happiness always.
