It was fairly easy to do.

Thank God! I have had a less than good morning. I had to deal with the Toyota dealer for my "unstartable" Prius and instead of helping me with a tow truck they told me I would have to call a towing service. When my husband called, they said they had a towing service they work with and would call them so the towing service could call my husband and set up a pick-up time. Really?????? I am so angry I could scream. We have come a long way, but there is a ways to go!!! AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!! I had to scream. Have a blessed day, everyone!

Nborchardt, I know what you mean. I used to work on my own cars, so when I went into a dealership for something that was beyond my tools/knowledge, it was always a hassle when I told them what was wrong. "Lady, how do YOU know? " "Because I took it apart in my garage last night." That was in the 70s and I still occasionally have the problem...doesn't last long. I just stare them down until I get a manager...

Those days are VERY frustating and I would scream too! How dare they be less helpful because you are a woman?!?

Praying your day gets very much better and rapidly.

Loving hugs nborchardt.

I feel your pain nborchardt, and I'd write a letter to Toyota Headquarters (naming names at your dealership) for the way they treated you...channel your energy into action- it's the only way we can bring about change. I know from experience- it works! Good luck.

Thanks, Aussie! They got the car and it was the battery THEY had put in a year ago, put in a new battery, no charge since the battery is under warranty. I am a happy camper today as opposed to the raging witch I was yesterday! Time, we just need to let time figure things out......why is that so hard?? Blessings and loving hugs to you my friend.

Because we are female nborchardt. Hugs.

Thank you for your words of empowerment and consolation aknan, nlbuchanan, xyxyxyxx, and aussie! Those words meant the world to me and brightened up my outlook immensely! Blessings and hugs!

You are quite welcome! Keep smiling - it makes people wonder what you're up to!

Hahaha aknan, oldie but goodie. Hugs.

And with me, a constant smile would definitely discombobulate many people!! Thank, aknan!

Oh, mamag, good news! I'm praying for you. Hugs.

I am praying. Scripture says He wants you to have the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4) Go into the interview believing.

First grade was my first love as a teacher. I pray that the what is best for everyone --- happens.

Well done mamag, you have certainly worked hard for this opportunity. Hugs.

Thank ya'll so much!!! I should be hearing from my host school today or tomorrow. I will be working, however, in the 5th-grade class. It is still okay with me. I just can't wait to get back into a classroom.

The star-shaped spice is star anise - licorice flavor.

Thanks, aknan. I love anise flavor in candy. Used to buy cannisters of anise flavored butter mints. Haven't seen them since we left L.I.

Maybe the green things are sunflower seeds. I also see ground black and white pepper, not to mention fennel seeds.

Variety is the spice of life!!!

I can make friends with just anybody whether I know them or not. Have a wonderful day my friend.

I have a girlfriend like that. She's the nicest person.
