Wanting to wish everyone of the FTE'rs a HAPPY AND SAFE PATRICK'SWEEKEND ... remember to be wearin some of the GREEN, so you don't get pinched ... then again mmmm you might forget the green on purpose ... a little pinch never hurt LOL. Us Irish will never run the world, but we're a happy bunch !!! Dave
Hi Donna, my wish for you is that the rest of your move goes as smooth as good Irish whisky ... Lifting = pain, packing = in, moving = the, painting = ***, turning over the key to the old house = PRICELESS
So you have taken all the rain huh? Still have not seen any come this way yet, and I am beginning to think the weatherman haven't got a clue what they are talking about.
Anyway, Happy what is today anyway? Oh, Friday. Happy Friday the 16th everyone.
Yeah!!!!...Everyone has signed on the dotted lines, so now we just have to wait for the Seller to do his thing & then we should have the keys by Monday! WOOHOO!
Thank you Jim! You're gonna have to come out & check out the house when you come up to get the truck. We may just leave it at my house (in MoundHouse). We are excited & almost got everything packed to move. Atleast by Monday the weather should be better for moving since were expecting snow this weekend.

Good for you Donna! I know you will be happy in your new and better house.
Congratulations.
Do the kids have to change schools now?
Is Jimmy closer to his new job?
May all out there in FTE land have a BLESSED DAY to celebrate a Saint who was a "rat exterminator". Have some corned beef , cabbage, and boiled potatoes and wash it down with a good green beer. Drive safe afterwords... please. Today I will celebrate by praying that the roof stays on ... 60 mph winds and rain ... and no it's not green rain LOL !!! Dave

Cheers.
Thanks!
The kids do have to transfer to Silver Springs schools, but they're looking forward to the change.
Jimmy's actually still working at both places - Paughco & Mettec! They are both in MoundHouse, so he'll have to commute about 23 miles one way daily. Paughco claims they'll give him a raise to $17 from $13 (to show on next Fridays check - although they agreed to the raise a week ago) I guess we'll see! Mettec is Paying Jimmy $14 for PT & has alot better benefits. If Jimmy quits PAughco & goes FT w/ Mettec, than they'll pay him like $15-$16! Jimmy thinks he's gonna get screwed at Paughco as far as the raise goes. I kinda think so too! I guess we'll see!
Oh...I did get reimbursed for the water heater though. So that's a plus! Otherwise I would've taken it with me or destroyed it!
