@marcy Hi Marcy, the house, girl I will write a book at some point.. so those effing appraisals, can not a team all exceed requirements is there always a loser who has to be let go or downgraded? I believe teams can all be horrid, great, mediocre, but their algorithm sucks for many reasons, but one especially is that it can and probably is UNFAIR, it is very demoralizing to a probably already demoralized group of people fearful of covid, life etc.. and their jobs. the GREAT and wise John left management because he could not stomach downgrading a good employing to meet some dumb asses above who only care about their 'take' of profits or RSUs etc. I am sorry you have to do this and send you a Kate hug or two. About time Marty get's his truck back.. I've never drank whiskey but my son's and John love the stuff.. MrsB is totally cool

hmm to the pizza! and butter? it's the best.. I could eat a stick a day.

truthfully she looks like my mom, my mo was white haired by 30.

enjoy that butter..
@missy YEs we will get together again, hey I'll bet Greg would be coughing, what a surgery, his body has to re-adjust and his throat area (duh right

) has been affected, sounds like his body is doing the right thing.. he MUST take it easy, recovery is always slow and steady, with my dumb butt shoulder I went waay too hard toooo fast and it showed, more pain than I should have had.. hey girl, those earrings - again a HUGE THUD! - so beautiful, so you Missy, seriously all class, and distinction and blingtastic! and that opal ring.. there are really no words actually, everytime I see you post it and hope to see it in real life - I think gosh, that is magnificent.. so you !!! stay in, start a fire (or if you have gas, turn 'er on).. enjoy winter, you and Greg and family have had one hell of a year, I'm hoping 2021 slows down things. How are YOU feeling, how's your thyroid? how's the toe? don't overdo it.. altho an emptyish Costco I gotta say I would love to see. Miss you Miss the Magnificent.. you are a role model for all of us in graciousness and class, lucky lucky us NIRDI's. I am terribly sad that Greg's biopsy stitches opened up.. that stinks..
@MamaBee EEKK I am so sad to read about your Mom, I am so sorry her pelvis is broken, my MIL broke her hip and lived 15 years, tripped over a hose, how is she today, I hope they are not skimping on pain meds for her.. I think any one of the trauma's, drama's, pain of the last year would be easy to handle but with COVID and the never ending fear of getting it, your mom getting it, son, it's very very hard to always be under the stress and threats we've had endured in 2020 and now 2021, I send you the usual big, FAT, HUGE Kate hug and healthy dust for your mom, I'm sorry you couldn't go with her, but she is where they will take good care of her Joanne.. text me if you need to talk, I'm sorry I've not been around and been feeling very sorry for myself, new year, and so many people have serious things like broken pelvis's, cancer that I feel embarrassed really, I do care and hope you are bearing up and your mom is getting better.. so sorry.. xoxoxoxo
Oh and can't wait to see the BEE bangle, betcha it's gorgeous! xoxo

Hola to everyone!
Have not heard from Kath in 2 days, heard from her husband tho, only that he wanted to know how John and I got our first shot for Covid, he said the Austin Public Health site now has about 90K people on the waiting list, we were just lucky in that John was talking to a friend of his and he had gotten the shot so John went over to APH site and we signed up and got shots the next day and me on Saturday, just plain dumb luck, I didn't ask but I wonder why Kath didn't get the shot in the hospital? she was on the ECMO for 2weeks! she had to have CPR to bring her back (again, she had that 4 years ago), she has a dang home health aid, why aren't they giving her the shot, Jim said "we are trying to get the shot" well you would think her many heart doctors would be putting her 1st.. just don't get it. Anyway, talked to Auti last night, she wants coocoo's, ! hah her word for chocolate chip cookie! I'll oblige of courses.. made some last night and will drop some off later this week if we don't have our washer/dryer by this week we will have to go down to Mike's and do laundry again.. and I'll bring the coocoos for her!

windy here in Liberty HIll, TX but finally have a bit o'sun.. pools still not plastered cause they came a week and 1/2 ago and we were having 25mp winds and I didn't want the plaster sprayed EVERYwhere and the plaster guy agreed, but that made me go to the back of the line again.. oh well. May all you guys have a great week and Monday.. sending Kate dust. xoxox
