Here's a brand new one, and a link to the old. First complaint, it's too HOT at 93 degrees.

http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=238156

It's been hot and muggy here too. Tonight it's supposed to get down into the 50's though.

I just got back from the dentist. Good news and bad news. The bad news is that the tooth isn't just cracked, it's infected. The dentist said that I could either have it pulled (its the tooth at the far back of my mouth) or have a root canal. So now I have to go see an oral surgeon. Since I don't want to miss any more days of work this week, I am going to made the appointment for next week. The dentist gave me some pain killers and an antibiotic. The good news, the rest of my teeth are in perfect shape!

I'm sorry to hear about the book buyback, Brent. That is so typical though. $3dollars for an $80 book. They probably have a new edition for next semster, which as Cathy quite correctly pointed out, the only difference is probably the cover.

It's still cold, dreary and rainy and my life still sucks. :mad:

:(

The pain killers and antibiotics are beginning to work. However, with all cases when my body is trying to adjust to a new medication, they are making me feel sick. I've already thrown up twice, am weak and simply don't feel good. :(

^ It's not sulfa, is it? I'm allergic to those meds. You may want to go to urgent care.

It's so damned hot.:(

^ It's not sulfa, is it? I'm allergic to those meds. You may want to go to urgent care.


No, it's not sulfa. This is a pretty normal reaction for me. The getting sick. It happens all the time when I'm put on a new medication. Also, the dentist did warn me that I would probably feel like this. The good thing is that even though the tooth still hurts, it is not throbing like it was. I am also glad that the infection was discovered today. The dentist told me that if I had waited just a few more weeks, the infection would have been so bad that I would have probably ended up in the hospital. :eek:

What the hell...I only got 99 posts in the last complaint thread! And 2nd place. :(

Who was first??

I hope that the person with the most complaints wasn't me! :lol:

*sigh* :(

I want some snack foods..

Who was first??
You my dear. I had 99 and you had 200 something.

How dare you include me in such statistics! :eek: :lol:

^ lol mattie...it seems like you've been around here for awhile- and you only have 400 points :D- its all good tho......i get to sleep in tomorrow, yay..

Fighting this ongoing depression- it sucks

i wish I got this girl's phone number too today...she's in my class and i didn't get it...

listening to Dancing In The Moonlight by Van Morrison.

wtf, I was #4? O.o

You my dear. I had 99 and you had 200 something.
:eek2: BY A LANDSLIDE!! I did not see that coming. Probably because I tend to keep a stiff (and shut) upper lip away from SO and do all my venting here. WOW.

How dare you include me in such statistics! :eek: :lol:


I know how you feel, Mattie. :lol: This is an honor I don't want. :lol: I hope that a bulk of my 73 posts were responses to other's posts, and not out right complaints. Though knowing me, they probably were. :lol:

Maybe there is some sort of reward for you. :lol: "I present this here certificate of appreciation to Monika Cat, the SO member who complains the most often.". :lol: ;)

I called the oral surgeon early this morning. Because of the infection, he wants to see me tomorrow. The surgeon that I was referred to is in the city and my appointment is at 7am. :eek: I never knew a doctor to start that early. Since I live about an hour outside of Chicago, I am going to have to get up really early tomorrow morning. Though to have the tooth worked on, I think it will be worth it. Since it is the farthest tooth in my mouth, I've decided to just have it pulled.

I realized this morning that in June it will be 14 years since I graduated from high school. :eek: Wow! Even though I would not want to be in high school again, or a teenager again for that matter there was still some good times in high school, especially my junior year, that I do miss and have some fond memories of. :)

I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled, and my appt was at 7:30am, as I recall. I think something to do with letting people be done with their mandatory pre-op fasts earlier.

I was on the table for that by 8am, and before I knew it, it was all over. lol so yeah. Has the surgeon requested that you fast beforehand?

Yeah...I'm at 11 years. I miss some things, not others.

True.

Went to the Dr. yesterday for another diabetes check-up and things aren't getting any better. He put me on antibiotics plus gave me 2 additional prescriptions. Luckily all 3 were covered under Wal-Mart's $4 plan so that was good. The pain in my legs has gotten worse and some days it's all I can do to walk but he wants me to try exercising as much as possible. He also wants me to lose weight and that's been the hardest thing for me to do. I currently weigh 260 but would love to get down below 200. My blood pressure is still in normal range so that's one thing I don't have to worry about.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough....i want some ice cream

Consider yourself lucky that you can still eat it, If Ben & Jerry's made a dairy and sugar-free version I'd be at the store first thing tomorrow.

yeah true...i eat and take in a lot of sugar, but I don't have diabetes thank god. but if ice cream made it sugar free and milk free, it wouldn't be good at all nor would it be ice cream lol, but I see your point & agree.

It's still considered ice-cream if it isn't made with dairy or sugar and it's actually very good but the flavor choices are limited. Ben and Jerry's might not have any in the stores but there are other brands. It doesn't have to be made with dairy to be called ice-cream, Soy works just as well.

I'm glad that you don't have diabetes right now but if you take in a lot of sugar you run the risk of developing it later on in life and I hope that doesn't happen. I was 42 when I was diagnosed and I was a sugar freak at your age plus it runs in the family so theres another factor.

Yeah that's true, Soy works as well for diabetes patients. Thanks a lot Charles, I appreciate it and hope I really don't get it either. But it sucks cause my uncle John, on my Dad's family has it (but he eats a lot and takes in a lot of food & liquids) & on my mom's side my grandfather has major diabetes so I hope I don't get it :(. Well I'm 20 now and am not lactose and tolerant like my cousin is and I'm half your age so I don't know if I will get it. I love sugars, I drink Coca Cola and soda, but not everyday or a lot. I do eat a lot of foods with sugar & snacks with sugar, so I am essentially starting to put a target on my back, right? I just need to know how to have sugars but not get diabetes & good prevention of it as well. Or at least avoiding it, I know if you get it, you get it and nothing can be done, but avoiding it up until the age where average diabetes patients get it, is what I want to avoid. Thanks for helping.

It's hotter than ****in hell outside!!!!!! :mad:

Frozen yogurt tastes just like ice cream to me. Less fat and probiotics so I can eat it.

It's still considered ice-cream if it isn't made with dairy or sugar and it's actually very good but the flavor choices are limited.

The frozen yogurt flavors are limited too. I'd love some mint chocolate chip, but nope. :(

Ok, I'll trade my diabetes for your allergies. :lol:

Yes, There was a Twilight Zone episode where that happened except the man traded his broken hand for the common cold.

That was "The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross" starring Don Gordon, Gail Kobe, Vaughn Taylor and J. Pat O'Malley among others.

I DON'T want to work on Friday... that's the day one of the meanest courtesy clerks works. She seriously tells the checkers how to do their job, and she's like 70 years old. Sarcastic, mean old lady grocery bagger- do you get the image? lol.

God! He's so close, I can almost touch him, yet he's so far away because he doesn't even know I exist :(

So are mine. :mad:

Mine's worse than it was on Saturday(which was pretty bad in itself). I was outside for about 30 minutes around Noon and I guess that did it. At times coughing badly(plus the sore throat and runny nose), and it sucks. :angryfire

Put some drug in her drink that makes her pass out, then put a plastic bag over her head. Problem solved. :D

Hey Monika, If you ever need a friend to talk to, let me know. I've battled depression and I know of its pain. I am here for you buddy.

Well, I had the darned tooth pulled today and it wasn't a nice experience. :( It feels too weird not having a tooth back there anymore. So unnatural. When the doctor numbed my gums around the tooth I had a very bad reaction. I started bleeding really bad. Also, my gag reflex kicked into overtime, so I was gagging and coughing blood all over the place. Man, I thought I was in serious trouble. Finally, the gag reflex began to relax a little. Still, I lost more blood than was normal and I feel really weak now.

Ugh...I'm really worried about one of my classes. I decided to take an acting class as an elective because I've taken acting classes before and liked it. I made the wrong choice; this has been the worst college course I've ever taken. The professor is very arrogant and all the people in class think they are the best thing since sliced bread. For this reasons I developed "stage fright" and I have been absent a lot. Now I'm worried that I will get a bad grade and it will ruin my GPA (which is excellent), and I have A's in my other classes. I can't withdraw from the class because it may affect my Pell Grant. I'm really stressed about this.

Hopefully this little mistake I made won't ruin my plans of going to law school.

Yeah. I feel sicker than a dog today, but I know that after a few days I'll begin to feel better and I'll finally have my life back. That damn tooth was becoming the entire center of my life over the last two weeks.

My body is playing a huge joke on me.

That's how I've felt the last two weeks. I hope that you feel better.

I'm sick of my stupid allergies, though it's mostly just coughing fits today. Still, it sucks.

I'm sick of my life and having no money to do anything. I'm sick of being home on Friday Nights, I'm sick of most things right now personally. :rolleyes:

I echo those sentiments - it seems like we are both stuck in limbo. :(

That's kind of a big reason why I work overnights. There - takes care of my nights, because I don't have a damn life now. Heh. So why not make money out of it?

It seems everyone this week is either sick or depressed. Well, it's Friday and the work week is over and the weekend is now upon us. Let's all hope that next week is better for all of us. Brad, I hope that you get over your illness. Lauren and Monika, I hope that you both find some joy next week. I also noticed that Kimberlee hasn't been here in a while. I hope that she is okay.

oh my god why can't people leave me the **** alone. not a god damn thing in the last 20 minutes has gone right and i swear everyone is going to every measure they can to piss me off right now. **** OFF ALREADY.

So I'm sitting here this evening, before and after I play basketball- writing my first entry for my sports blog, enthusiastic about the responses i might get and about the opportunity....going along great...im loving what i have so far...i open a few new tabs on my netscape web browser to look up some stats to back up my points in the first entry....my ****ing browser goes to full screen, freezes up....finally the browser unfreezes but closes for some ****ING reason...i try to restart the ****ing ****. so basically, ALL of the **** I ****ing wrote IS GONE. I'm sick of this ****ing ****. Now I don't feel like writing for this blog at all. Now i feel like quitting. i was writing about the 76ers and now i have the f*ck it mentality to the fullest. why is it always my GODDAMN luck? I really feel like **** and hate my 2 cent, piece of **** computer....i don't think the blog site auto saved my entry up to that point either, which is the ****in back breaker of it all. does anybody know, maybe robyrob, if I can retreive my entry somehow? aren't their cookies or some sh*t that save what sites you go on...i doubt this way will work but i'm looking for something...i seriously feel like smashing my head into a wall of bricks right now :(. ughhh

I still can't find my favorite necklace!!!! :( :mad:

I dislike being a girl sometimes. =/
it ruins work.

This week sucked. Next week probably will, too. Saturday and Sunday will be okay I guess.
:bighug: God bless you, Cathy!!

I still can't find my favorite necklace!!!! :( :mad:
The tide has changed here - read the feel good thread for an update!! :D

I ate too much cheesecake. puke:

Awesome!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...cheesecake. :drool:

Awesome!
Thanks!! I took out the book because I had a couple of photos of me wearing the necklace. I was going to show my mom which necklace I was talking about. Lo and behold, I open the book and guess what falls out!! :D

:lol: That's cool.

:lol: That's cool.
It was...and a total surprise! I guess I was looking through the book before going to bed (which is when I take the necklace off), got distracted, and ended up putting the book back in the bookcase with the necklace still in it. At least I found it!! :D

today is four years since i had a friend die in a car crash. i really never got over the shock of it. just a few hours before she died, she was with the rest of our choir working on choreography for a cheesy 60's song we were doing. i was so used to seeing her in class every day, it took months for me to stop absent mindedly thinking i would see her again. even now, sometimes when i really think about her or look at pictures of her, i can't believe she's gone. it's so unreasonable for a free-spirited 15-year-old girl to lose her life in the blink of an eye. it makes me frustrated, really. maybe i'm rambling now...it's been a long time since i've let out my feelings about this.

last year's anniversary was the day that someone decided to tear me apart. i don't know if he forgot what day it was or what, but talk about adding insult to injury.

It's always hard on the annivesary of losing someone that you care about. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying time.

I did that when a friend of mine died in 2004. For the longest time I kept thinking, "I should tell Melissa this," even though I knew she was gone. It takes time. But like everyone else has said, you're strong. :)

My grandma died 9 years ago tonight of Lou Gehrig's disease. She was only 59. :(

i'm sorry cathy, lauren and brent for your losses

I never knew about this, Cathy. I'm really sorry. :(
She pulled out in front of a car. She couldn't see around this big rig that was parked on the shoulder (I think) and pulled out anyway. Can't believe it will be 5 years in June.

Sleep, coffee, more coffee, work, work, sleep, coffee, more coffee, work...

My life as of late in a nutshell. And that's a 40-hour work week for me. Time management is lacking here.

Well to be honest I'd like to take a break from customer service. Eleven and a half years of dealing face to face with people is really wearing! But I have a bad disc in my back so I can't do heavy lifting either. I would probably enjoy a job where I could sit in front of a computer all day.

Hey, you're welcome!:D

Awww :lol: When did you work in customer service, Monika?

I worked it last Summer... oh my gosh, it was so horrible... not just the customer service part... but the women I worked with were very... hmmm what's the word I'm looking for... Uppity? Yeah, close enough. First of all, it was a fashion boutique and everyone who worked there was into the, shall we say "physical" part of beauty... unfortunately, it didn't manifest on the inside. :( All they talked about were the latest fashions and who they were sleeping with. It got pretty graphic... I finally decided I'd be better off jobless and going to school than making minimum wage and getting super-depressed over the work. :eek: :crazy:

"I have not yet begun to fight! Don't give up the ship! Have it your way!" - that quote was said by Balki in a Perfect Strangers episode. I think it fits right in here. :rofl:

Kudos to you, Lauren! :) I couldn't do that in a million years... but when your novel gets published, well... I'm gonna be headed for the book stores... maybe you could sign my copy? ;)

Nuff said... my prayers go out to you, dear. ;)

Sadly, I haven't seen the show since it aired on Nick At Nite. Larry and Balki are cool. I also think the theme song was one of the best.

For sure! We only have like 7 episodes on VHS, and we watch them over and over... the same punchlines... we laugh so hard still. Great physical comedy as well... they're awesome!! :D

I have the theme song in my head now.

"Through the rain and thunder
The wind and haze
I'm bound for better days
It's my life, and my dreams
And nothings gonna stop me now". :lol:

Thanks guys! :)


You got it Mattie! You'll have to look for it under my pen name though ;)

I really want to write a novel about faith and good vs evil like The Exorcist. I also would like to really write a children's novel. I have so many ideas written down, but none that really work for me yet.

Gee, I wonder about the "Rogers". ;) :lol:

My pen name is Marilyn Rogers :)

That's a great pen name. :)

I remember some really funny pen names from back in high school:

Seymoure Butz

Phil McCrackin

:lol:

Marilyn comes from Marilyn Monroe, an amazing lady, and as you can guess, Rogers is from Wayne Rogers ;)

I've been having a little problem, but I'm not sure who to turn to.

mike, i hope you'll be able to solve it. is it something we all can help with?

Thanks, Kim. I just actually made a thread.

My mother is still out of town with her boyfriend. :( Her constant absence from home is starting to really get to my sister and I. My mother seems to only be thinking of herself and her boyfriend. Everyone else gets ignored and shoved aside. :( Sorry, for complaining I'm just feeling down right now. :(

Ughhh finals next week....but then again, summers here when finals are done- as long as I pass all classes, get my credits and do good...I'm good :)

I know the routine well! I worked graveyard shift for almost 12 years.
1 1/2 years here right now. :lol:

I got up early for once - bed at 10am, up by 5:15pm. Not bad, when I've been going to bed at 9am and waking up by 6:30pm every day and feeling like hell until I have to go to work. Thank god, haha.

Seriously. **** this state. **** the guys who are native to this state, as well. I've always hated this state and now my desire to get out of here is stronger than ever.

I FINALLY got the one thing I wanted, which is a full-time job, so I can FINALLY seriously save up to get out of here. I had other things I wanted to get done first before I started diving headfirst into saving up to leave, and now I have done them all. In the span of six months, even!

As far as I'm concerned, this whole state and the guys who live here can die in a ****ing fire. THEY ARE NOTHING TO ME NOW. **** YOU, NORTH DAKOTA MEN.

I'm sorry, Jenny. Look at the bright side though. With your mother gone, you and your sister can throw a wild party! ;) :lol:

I hate people today. I've had some major drama in my life and it just came to a head this weekend.

People that I thought were friends have been talking about me behind my back. Then when I find out about it, they act as if nothing's wrong.

I seriously spent most of the weekend crying and didn't do hardly anything. I was actually glad to be back at work.

Sometimes parents and people in general can be downright insensitive to other peoples feelings.

My dad was like that. Sometimes I felt like he didn't love me and my sister. I finally had it out with him one night and surprisingly, it made things a bit better.

I hope your mom wakes up and realizes what she's doing. To you and your sister....

*hugs*

life sucks.....then you die. thats my outlook for today. God willing, I wake up tomorrow and get to change my prerogative. but for today its...life sucks, then you die!

I love rainy days too! There is nothing like a good storm. :lol: Storms are the perfect sleeping weather. I sleep like a baby when there is a storm happening outside. :lol: Storms are great for reading too. Especially scary novels.

Storms are also great for watching horror movies. I remember the first time I watched The Shining. It was late at night and there was a huge thunderstorm taking place outside. There's the scene where Danny goes around the corner on his big wheel and comes face to face with those creepy twins. The second he went around the corner and came across those girls there was this massive sound of thunder outside and let me tell you, Kim, I must have jumped five feet in the air. :lol:

:bighug: I know how you feel!

:bighug: back at ya lauren. i guess we all have those days, more than we care to admit sometimes. :bighug: I know how you feel!

anyone else have trouble getting on here last night?

anyone else have trouble getting on here last night?
Yeah, I did.

i feel so sad i don't know why. i feel angry, at what i don't know, just have this anger like i want to throw or break something. just feel this mix of sadness and anger. i've tried to contain myself the past couple days trying to just let it blow over but instead its been simmering and my emotions are now right at the surface. i usually am able to get passed things quickly but i have all these feelings - bored w/ everything/restless/mad/sad. i'm beginning to question everything in my life too, all the things that used to make me happy.

I get that way about every six months. I'm there now... Life sometimes needs to be shaken up a bit every once in a while.

i'm glad i'm not alone max and that this is "normal". i hope you can work through it, i hope i can too

I'm sorry that you are feeling this way, Kim. :( I wish I could offer some advice that would help you to feel better. I know it is a very difficult time for you right now. All of your friends here are looking out for you though, and remember that we are always here for you.

:bighug:

:bighug: your hugs always make me feel so much better mike.how about you? how are you feeling? are you still feeling sick? my thoughts and prayers are with you everyday and i'm thankful for all the thoughts and prayers you send me in return :)

I'm doing okay, Kim. My gums are still a little sore around where the tooth was pulled. I know it will be like that for a while though. I remember when I had a tooth pulled in 2000, I think the gum was sore for a month or so. It isn't bad pain or anything, but I can tell there was work done. My stomach is still a little sensitive to the medication, but it hasn't been too bad. I'm just thankful that I'm not suffering from the pain that I was a week ago. I have my life back and that feels good. :)

Before going to bed last night, besides for saying a prayer for Lauren, I also said one for you and your husband. I know you and he are going through a difficult time. However, I know he loves you very much and that you love him very much, and that I think that is a great place for both of you to be. I truly believe that you and him are soulmates and will make it through this difficult time with a relationship and love that is stonger than ever. :)

I wish I knew what was wrong with me...why I don't fit in. Am I that weird? I'm shy, but a lot of people are. I'm never the first or second person anyone thinks of...usually second to last. I don't fit in here and I don't fit in at work. I should be used to it and I don't know why I let it bother me...popularity isn't everything they say...they probably being popular people.

I just need to leave here probably.

Cathy, I'm not sure what's going on, but you know that I am very fond of you. You are one of my favorite people here at SO. I always enjoy reading your posts and love your sense of humor. I've also tried to talk to you through PMs, but you tend not to write me back. If you need someone to talk to, please send me a PM. I'm here for you. Also, I would hate it if you decided to leave.

This is something I can relate to so well. All my life I have never fitted in anywhere. Not with my family, friends, co workers, classmates or anybody. For years it bothered me because I thought something was wrong with me, and I tried changing myself to fit in with people and so that girls would like me. It didnt work and I was more misreable before. I know that I will never fit in anywhere and that I will always be the oddball that will always stand out, but I have learned to accept it and to accept who I am and to be myself. If people are cool with that then thats fine. If not then thats fine too. Dawsons just be yoursels and be who you are. The people who matter will dig you as you are.


This is for you sugar :bighug:

today was my last day of music theory ever and it was emotional. most of the class went through all four semesters together and we all got pretty attached. next year will be really different.

I was in band for four years, and the last day was very emotional. I still recall how sad I felt that day. I couldn't believe that four years had gone by so quickly.

Aww, thanks. It's nice to know you're not the only one.



I know one reason I don't fit in at work is because I'm the youngest by 10 years or so, I'm single and everyone else is married with kids, etc. I am also the only person who doesn't like one of our co-workers and I think it makes me mad mostly because it's like, am I the only one that can see she's a hypocritical :censored:? But she's one of those types that's popular with everyone and probably has been all her life. I can't really do anything about it, but yet I worry about it anyway.

That was me and drama. I also cried at the end of swing choir...even though I was never in it. lol

I felt the same way. I was in band from 6th grade on and my last day was really hard. I still miss it, we had so much fun together :(

I still miss band too. It was one of the high points of my high school experience.

Why did you cry if you were never in it? :lol:

I want pizza & soda...but at least my cat's alright :)

As I'm sitting here posting, I realized that I contribute absolutely nothing to this site. I've made some great friends here, which is what keeps me coming back, but to the boards itself I really offer nothing. I'm not a great moderator like Janice, I'm not funny, I'm not insightful. Nothing.

I know this is a pity post if there ever was one.

I don't know Mike- you are a great member to have around these boards & yes you do contribute, don't say that. I disagree with you.

it was the same way for me with choir. it changed my high school experience and i still really miss it. i was on top of the world there and looked at as a leader, and now i feel like a small fish in a big pond. it's much more demanding and competitive in college.

sarah- explain the pic. you're graduation got on fire? that's all i could really see, on the pic from my busted up monitor in the other thread.

nah, it's my graduation cap on fire. let's just say some things happened that night that completely tarnished the memory. i purposely burned it and took a picture of it in mid-demise just a few months ago because i was still upset about it and wanted to symbolize my resentment.

Thanks. :) I was just feeling a little down last night. It's nothing serious. I'm fine today. :)

mike, i got so sad when i read your comment. you are a vital member of this site. you contribute your advice, support, encouragment and most of all friendship which i cherish and many others here do as well. you're contributions are very important and we all think very highly of you. i'm so happy to call you my friend, mike

Thanks, Kim. :) I knew that I could count on you for support. I was just feeling a little down last night. It had very little to do with SO, actually. Honestly, I was thinking about Kelly. I was also thinking of our mutual friend (Kelly and mine) who I'm not really close with anymore. I am very happy to call you a friend too, Kim. :)

:bighug:

No problem :). And that's good!

Depression seems to be my best friend.....or my shadow :lol:. I hate it but don't know what to do about it myself haha.

Geez louise, Mike! That is so NOT TRUE!!! Your posts are always interesting, and plus, you are a super awesome guy! You are crazy for thinking otherwise.. ugh, it gets me down to hear other people talk about themselves like this... it seems to be a common theme. I mean, my gosh, Mike... whenever I see that you've posted on a thread, any thread, I always go to read it... cause you always contibute, and I think we often share the same views. I don't know... I kind of admire you.:D You're such a future college professor... you like, have this wisdom about you... it's really cool.;) So, I'm telling you this strictly as a friend, from future college teacher to future college teacher... so don't get offended. Suck it up, man! Put your head up high and walk with a bounce in your step... cause I SAID SO!:lol: You have too many people who care about you... and have no right depressing us with this nonsense about what you say not being good enough! :(
And, please, I'm only saying this because I think you're worth saying it to.

Whew! Now give me hug! :bighug:

:p Me either...join the club. We always have depression-drowning desserts.

Cathy... you are so intelligent, and caring, and kind... not to mention quite beautiful... and I feel like you just don't see it... and it makes me really sad. :( But me telling you this isn't going to make you feel better... it has to come from your own heart... so I pray that you (and Mike as well) are able to see what true gifts you really are. ;)

Thank you, Mattie. :) I am feeling much better tonight. I have the day off tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. :) I would like to thank you for your kind words. You have such a beautiful soul. :) And you are wise beyond your years. When I read one of your posts, I always say to myself, "This girl is 19?! No way!". :)

I can't agree with you more, Mattie. Cathy is a beautiful woman both inside and out. She is intelligent and has an amazing personality. :)

Isn't that the truth. :nod:
