Why me?

I think you'll find it's not only you but anyone who works with /serves other human beings. And I use the term loosely.

I rejoined the club long enough to ask why I was removed.  Please let me know if you would like to leave and I will, but to just remove me was unnecessary.

Removed you? From here? 

[kbois]

I've worked customer service in some way, shape or form since I  was 16. It never ceases to amaze me the things people do and the situations they get themselves into.

I'm sure each one of us could write a War and Peace length novel. Snippets of my version just happen to tumble out of me occasionally. Hopefully you get a kick out of them. There are moments that just need to be shared. 

Hope y'all have a good night and make the most of the last day of 2021. It'll be in the rearview mirror pretty soon.

i don't know who can remove people other than leaders and owners. i have never removed anyone from here. Not that you're saying that at all. Everyone is welcome here, now and always.

i'm sorry Kitt. This is frustrating and upsetting. i'll look into it further. xo

Let's see how long I remain a member this time.

It's very odd. But it seems there are odd things happening to some.  But just know you are a member here as long as you want to be.

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends

Happy New Year!  i know this past year has had its fair share of ups and downs - but good or bad, it's all experience, and has shaped who we are today and who we will be in the future. Onwards and upwards my friends, with no regrets!

Happy New Year 2022!

Happy New Year to Everyone.

Let's hope 2022 is a better year for all us.

Holy $#@!king krap! 110 mph winds driving a wildfire in Denver county Colorado.  @MacGreg?? Not sure where in Colorado you are but please let us know you are ok!

Has anyone heard from Mac since the fire started?

Glad to see you're still with us. 

I read about the fires and no, I've not seen Mac since yesterday. Hopefully, he's okay and will let us know as soon as possible how he is.

Why do they use a test for covid and then, when it comes back negative, it says:

POC Rapid COVID-19 BD Veritor Antigen

Learn more about this

• Negative

  Date:

  Dec 29, 2021 03:38 p.m. EST

   

   

  Negative results do not preclude SARS CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions.

   

  So that was essentially a waste of time. I've had "something" since Sunday evening. Fever, chills, muscle pain and a slight headache. Fatigue. Went to the doctor for the test on the 29th, they did this test and the other test that takes longer. So am I supposed to wait for the second test result? If I follow the new CDC guidelines I'm available to reenter society since it's been 5 days. I still have the sweating but no fever, headache is still around but minor.  I'm always masked up, I guess I'll do the double masking with a cloth over surgical.

   

  So far Justin has shown no symptoms at all but we haven't left the house since Sunday. Had a neighbor bring us milk, that's the only thing we were out of. I guess I'll get dressed and go to the store early, we need more milk.

   

  Everyone have a safe New Year's Eve and let's hope in 2022 we can relegate covid to the status of the seasonal flu, perhaps with two vaccinations per year needed.

It wasn't the gallbladder that caused the issue... it was the stones in the thing that caused the pain. Multiple or large stones hurt like hell. I had one big one. (Still, not quite as bad as trying to bring an 8.5lb baby into the world and your epidural wears off! 😬)

I had a big enough kidney stone one time that was to big to pass, so what did the E.R Doctor do, she gave me medicine to help it pass....needless to say I didn't take the meds but I did go and have the procedure done to remove it.

I NEVER want to deal with that kind of pain again.

I know all about Kidney Stones that can't be passed .

Thanks to the surgery, I'm almost pain free.

Bright light or sunlight kills mogwais, so they’re like vampires with fur.

Thanks for checking on me, Kitt. The fires were north of me. But, over 600 homes and businesses are now destroyed. True damage yet to be assessed. Unlike any wildfire I've ever witnessed, hitting a densely populated urban area.
