There's also the possibility that she already knows, or at least suspects. I too have a cousin that I was close to growing up. In fact, our bond was so great that her first husband was jealous of it. She and I are one month apart in age. A few days after Phil's death, her current husband picked me up and I spent the evening with them. Some time during the evening, without thinking about it, I came out to them. Her answer was just as direct, "we know." It didn't change a thing between us. Jan

Why do I get the feeling that you're going to make Eric out to be the hero of the story? Could it be your always telling us this, Jan

Hang in there Joe, and maybe give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Some employers have policies in place regarding cellphone use at work. The facility I work at, the policy is that the cellphone is to be turned off while working. During break and lunch times, staff may use them. Not all that long ago, there was a Nurse Aide who was in the DON's office. While there, her phone rang and she answered it. The reason she was in the DON's office to begin with was she was being fired for her excessive use of her cellphone while working. If he's interested in you, he'll be in touch. Jan

I had no problem with it on Firefox, so it might be IE. Jan

Congratulation Kevin on #2000. Jan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMY!

As far as the data stick, how knows what's on it. I think it's safe to say that Eric used it from home and that is what Dex is coming over to tell them. It could be a porn ring, but I don't think so. It's something bigger. You can get the same hot, sticky feeling with leather sets as well, so that's why I didn't pay much attention to it.

My suspicions were correct NOT to trust that f'ing Eric. I'll have to admit tho, I never thought of the web cam angle. Now we have to wait until next week to see what happens. You remind me of a certain young man who likes to use cliffhangers in his stories. And you can take that as a compliment. Jan

You're right. Cotton can hold 3 times it weight in water. So 1 ounce of cotton, after absorbing all the water it can hold, will weigh 3 ounces. Jan

What to do about liers and people who talk about you behind your back? Last week, I started a project at work that hasn't been done for awhile. I started taking the wheels off of the carts used and removing all the crap that has accumulated over the past couple of years. I was only able to do it a couple of days due to meeting a good part of the week. I started out by getting several different size wrenches from the tool cart, different style carts have different size nuts and bolts. As I said, I grabbed several wrenches since our maintenance man keeps the cart in the basement instead of on the main floor like he used to do, so I didn't want to have to make several trips to get the exact sizes I needed. On Thursday morning, the maintenance man said he needed his wrenches for a job. So I got them for him. I found out later that morning that he had said something about me having those tools. One of my supervisors told him that I probably had them in locked up in the closet and that he would get them for him. He told the supervisor, nah, he'd wait til I got in. He was nice to me in asking for them. He also had told me that he had done 15 of the carts and my first thought was, oh yeah, when? This is something that you can't hide doing. Then he took off to do what he could have done with the wrenches before I got in. The day before that, his Department Head, Supervisor, and my boss were all in the Laundry look at something and they all saw what I was doing. I was told the following day by one of my staff, that he told her that he was going to get me in trouble for doing what I was doing. It was later confirmed by another of my staff. That pissed me off. I went to his boss about it. I told his boss about what was said and that all the problems that he and I have had between the two of us was because this guy was playing us against each other, and he agreed with that. I also informed my boss about the situation. Friday, my boss told me that the maintenance man had told him that he didn't care if I used his tools, which conflicts with what the supervisor had told me. I told my boss that over the weekend, I was going to buy some tools and bring in to use. That should avoid the issue of borrowing his tools, which by the way actually belongs to the Laundry Department. So tell me, how am I going to get into trouble for doing his job?

With the exception of our food court friend, it looks like our guys had a pretty good time for a change. Jan

They now have free standing shelving that you can buy and put together that fits over the toilet tank. I usually hang the used towel over the shower curtain rod to dry. Then it goes into the basket to be washed. Jan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON! Jan

If I was to venture a guess, I would have to say those names may be code names used by the Piedmont cops, or whoever is behind the whole setup. The guys who approached the boys where there to keep an eye on their movements. Hence, the chase. Shawn, I have no clue. Tip of the Iceberg might have worked as a title also. So far, all we know is what's on the surface of this mystery. It's whats under the surface that we can't see yet.

Yes, Thank You Matthew for all your work. And Congratulations to all those nominated and to the Winners. Jan
