Cammie,

Yes, you said that right..It's times like these when you find out who

your true friends are.

No, I haven't seen the movie " The Enchanted Cottage " but will have

to see it.

I just know that their comments along with what my OD had told me

about my crossbite sure didn't make for a good day on Thursday. Boy I

sure hope my first day back to work on Tuesday doesn't go as bad! I

have some coworkers who love to pick and just don't understand that

now is not the time for those comments trying to be funny. Normally I

am able to pick back, but just don't think I am in the mood for that

just yet.
