Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Arrgh, yeah - I really do like her and care about her, but sometimes I need a rest I didn't really mind - I just thought it was weird. And I think SHE might have minded that I was chillin still in my jammies drinkin my coffee etc . . . just letting the day start out nice and easy, getting ready to take my honey bun shopping for clothes. Oh well, the poor lady, her daughter is falling apart and our biz is too at the same time. . . I feel bad for her. She'd not handling it real well. Thanks for the thoughts.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Sounds to me like she feels you understand..not only her home life problems but her work too...maybe she just needs to be around someone who understands. Not only that but sometimes when your down you want to be around posistive people....now if she starts delivering a new totmatoe every day ..then you got a problem LOL Stef On Sat, Oct 9, 2010 at 10:12 PM, Girlscout Cowboy < girlscout.cowboy@...> wrote: > Arrgh, yeah - I really do like her and care about her, but sometimes I need > a rest I didn't really mind - I just thought it was weird.
