Re: Seeking your opinion on work

[Guest guest]

,

RA is absolutely a factor. I guess what I'm trying to say is to follow

your heart. Since stress, depression and other negative emotions have

such an impact on our health, choosing the job that would make you

happiest may help to not aggravate your RA. If you're afraid that the

travel and frequent job changes would be stressful, maybe that job

would be your second choice. I'd be nervous about the travel and job

changes in the beginning, but after you do it a few times, you'll

probably be more relaxed about it. I would like the traveling because

I love to travel and I love to meet people.

If you don't like the particular assignment, you're not stuck there for

long. With the moving, you'd find you'd be a very light packer.

Only YOU can know what will make you the most happy. Both sound very

rewarding. Good luck with your decision.

a,

She is unbelievable and it really hurts. The worst part is she plays the

victims in front of my son. I am just going to try to forget it and stay away

as much as

possible. Yesterday was my library day with my granddaughter. When I called

because I will never go over without calling again, she said well I don't know.

Her sister

in law (who really isn't nice) was coming over,she is always there.

Three times she told me that, like I even care, I just wanted my granddaughter.

She said let me see if Becky wants to come to your house. In the end she did

say Becky

you should go to Grandmom Lynn's. I felt she was just baiting me to say

something and she could go off again. But I said nothing. Becky came with me

and I surprised

her by having Alyssa over too. So we all did the library program.

The day this all happened I understand my DIL'S mother also left the house mad

at her daughter. She has so much, she doesn't have a thing to worry about, she

doesn't

have to work. Her grandmother is there everyday to help take care of the

children. Would you believe she wants me to watch the children for an entire

week in March

while they go away? Guess I am the fool.

Couponing besides being a necessity is my hobby. You are right it is fun

walking out of the store with all the free stuff. So far this year I have spent

a little

over a thousand dollars but I have almost 2800.00 in free stuff. Last week end

was very good, one store was having triple coupons. I really think she is

jealous

because I just taught my other DIL how to do it.

Anyway I am going to try and calm down. I will also stay away for her. My

son calls me all the time so that is not a problem. Thanks for your

encouragement and

advise. I will take it to heart. Did you survive the hurricane okay. My

brother lives on the beach and he got hit hard.

Thanks my friend,

Lynn
