    Thanks.  GAH!  How am I supposed to get them their freaking book back?

    Was there a phone number on any packing materials that originally came with the book? 

    Perhaps the site is just down for some quick maintenance? 

    I would be flipping out about that too...

  • I took pictures of flying squirrels today. What have you done at work today?

    i"m so tempted to take half a vacation day, but I know I wouldn't really get anything done. 

    Better to be a slacker and get paid for it Devil

    That's very cool!

    Are we talking work related here? Not much.

    I'm putting together a PowerPoint about sexual harassment in the workplace.  And I've been trying to decide if farting competitions fall under that category as creating a hostile work environment.

    Taking pictures of flying squirrels sounds more fun though!

  • I'm on the phone with the book place now.

    GVSU, are all of the photos on your work's FB your shots?  I've been meaning to ask you that.

    I will email you a link with the specific FB page for the college program. Otherwise, we only put one or two pictures on our general FB page.

    The students asked if I wanted to hold the flying squirrel. I declined, I figured he would have been coming too any any moment and I didn't want to be holding him when he did.

  • Random thought: I don't like homemade hamburgers. I would rather have a brat or hot dog than a burger unless I can have a turkey burger than I would like that. I only mention this b/c I'm looking at Meijer's ad for next week and Jennie-o is on sale and I will have to pick up some.

    The best burgers we make at home are the frozen beef patties from GFS.  They totally rock.

    Do you use a secret seasoning? I've used season salt in the past. I've been getting beef patties from Sobie Meats recently which taste a little better.

    I think we do a little bit of seasoning salt and cayanne pepper.  I've heard Byron Center meats have good burgers too, but I've personally never tried them.  Their steaks are awesome though!

  • Wow, I leave for a little bit and come back to over 50 posts!  Yay!

    I am obsessing over houses again.  IndifferentSadEmbarrassed

    My latest obsession?

    A foreclosure on Lake Lure in Evart MI on 140 ft of lk frontage for $65k.  She needs work, but I can handle that!  I'm obsessed and seriously contemplating driving the 2 hrs to check her out.  What an awesome weekend getaway house for the summer and fall.  Sigh.

    Lots on that lake are selling for $40k.  Gah!

    SIL and her BF came over for her birthday dinner.  I don't typically bake during the week because weeknight evenings are busy.  But it was her birthday, so I wanted to make dessert so I stayed up late the night before baking shortcakes and slicing strawberries.  And her and BF didn't eat any.  Sad  She said she was too full after dinner and had to take off to meet up with some friends. 

    Wow, she must really like being on your bad side! Tongue Tied That was really nice of you to do for her despite all her craziness.

    I haven't heard it, but really, who believes the story and actually does this?  Who uses Western Union now a days?  I think you have to be really gullible to fall for this.

    I don't think that's a new scam.  Unfortunately I know someone who fell for a very similar scam a year ago.

    Definitely not new.  It's unfortunate.

    Very true. I brought it up b/c the house involved in this case was just listed for sale and they live next to a radio personality and they actually called the scammer on the show today. It was interesting to listen to him try and rent this house that he doesn't own. They brought the home owner on the line as well and the guy had the nerve to tell the home owner that he was her husband.

    That's interesting that they did that.
