Mandisa's gone...and I haven't been voting, so I feel just terrible!! Okay, so I might be acting a little overdramatic (No!! Not ME!! LOL) I'm not THAT upset, but I was shocked, and can't understand why Bucky is STILL there...he is this year's Anthony, I think...at first I thought Chicken Little (Kevin) would be "Anthony" but nope...it's even worse...it's Bucky...No offense to any Bucky fans, but he has been the most consistently "horrid" as Simon would say...
So, speaking of my Dad's job...I realize that this isn't the greatest of circumstances, and that it will make things tight for my parents for a while, but I can't help but feel a little relieved...I don't know if you all realize just how hard of a labor job they have (he & Uncle FunnyHat). In those previous conversations we've had about watching our parents grow older, I've just felt sick to my stomach thinking of my Dad working himself to the bone (sometimes literally, he's been burned that bad by the hot steel he works with), and have been praying that the Lord remove him from that level of intensity, and "reposition" him somewhere else...Now, I've been praying this because of his health, not because I want them to be poor!! Puleeze!! LOL :) I just worry about him working so hard... Now, there is talk of retraining for some other trade, or going back to school or whatever...Dad's even talked about (I don't know how seriously) going to Sinclair & training as an X-ray tech or something liek that in a hospital...
I really believe it's for the best, especially for their health...that's just my opinion, though...
I don't, on the other hand, think it's right of the company to be doing things like this, though...I think it's terrible that so many of these factory jobs are going over seas to be done...I could delve a little deeper into that, but I don't know enough to validate what I think is happening...But, whatever, wrong is wrong, and right is right. And, they were not right in how they handled things...
Okay, enough "shop talk" (literally!! LOL That's how Dad refers to his workplace, the "shop").
Anyways, I'd better go & get a move on...tonight (as far as I know) is PT practice :) And, King's home to take care of Princess!! :) YAY!! :) So, a "stress-free" practice :)
I'll leave you with a pic of a pic of my & Daisy when we were kids growing up at the time in the house they just bought from my parents :) Oh, and talk about memory lane!! I get deja vu every time I go over to visit them!! It's wild!! LOL We loved that bathroom, because it was big enough for both of us to get dressed for school/church in , and we had a lot of fights & giggles over that counter!! LOL
