Hope you find a good copy of the Outsider - from what everyone on here says it is excellent. Not sure if Mr. King ever reads this forum but just wanted to say that his latest book is getting much better reviews than Sleeping Beauties did. Guess you can't hit them all out of the ball park every time, I suppose. Plus, since it was a collaboration with his youngest son, it's probably not fair to compare the two.

We have rain here today - my two plastic composters must be getting a good soaking. Still have to put those tomato plants in the big clay pots on the deck - I bought five of them (assorted varieties) at No Frills at least a week ago and they have been hardening up and getting used to the environment out back.

I was going to pick it up but they did not have a copy of it and it was not on sale. My bookstore does a 25% discount on books that are on the globe and mail best seller, and I find it odd that he was not on the list. I may head over to chapters to get it, I will see.

I found a job today, at a store at west ed, I did a resume drop with my helper from my job agency today and randomly walked into a store asked if they where hiring, got an interview on the spot and got a job. I will be helping to set up a new store and then doing stock when it opeans so that will be good. Based on my work I hope I can get a full time job, so we will see

Peeking in for a minute to say HELLO! I'm so glad that this is not as big a change as I thought! It's horrible on my phone--I couldn't figure out how to navigate it at all. I'll just pretend the board doesn't exist unless I'm on my 'puter (lol).

Good morning,

I am impatiently waiting for the bank to open. Scott tried to use his debit card this morning and it wouldn't go through. So I hop online and see 2 debits for 100 each that I do not recognize. Apparently the bank caught that they were fraudulent charges because they have already been credited back to our account...and they must have turned Scott's card off, which is why it wouldn't work for him this morning.

So I have to make sure his card is cancelled and make sure mine will still work.

What the heck is wrong with people? Makes my blood boil.

Hope you have a great day. Big hugs and positive vibes to all. :love_heart:

(((Muskrat))) Some ex's are just hard wired into our core. Even when we know they are not the right one for us. We're here for you to vent and ramble on!

Hill lover35 - Congrats on the job! Do your best and I'm sure it will become a full time position.

cat in a bag - So glad the bank caught and returned the $ but sorry for the rest of the hassle that you will have to work through. Best of luck today!!

(((All in need or not))) Happy Friday, Tet!! May you be well and all manner of all things be well!!:love_heart:

Andy had some numpty use his credit card information after he took his Durango in for some bodywork. They caught the guy and he had to pay it back and of course they fired him. Yup - some people - what the heck are they thinking?
