CABELA'S LAYING PEOPLE OFF

Cabela's, the great sporting good store chain came to Hammond Indiana. They wanted this, they wanted that plus all sorts of tax breaks. We are bringing jobs to the area was one of the things they said and they did. They hired 420 employees to handle the expected throngs of people which now they say never came. Guess what? Now they say they are not making enough money at the Hammond store and are going to lay off 40 people. Besides these 40 people 130 more have left since the store opened in October 2007. The article also stated that they plan on opening 2 more stores this year. My question is if you are losing money why open more stores. Just to close them? I've seen this same thing happen at the place I worked and it only benefits the higher ups. Let them cut their salaries to make ends meet.

JOHNNY BROKE HIS LEG

Johnny broke his leg. Yes he did. You might be saying a lot of people brake legs. Well Johnny is not a person, he is a dog, a little Mexican dog who weighs in at about 3 pounds if that. My son-in-law thinks he may have hit him with his truck. Would Johnny still be here if he got hit by a truck. Well anyway he had to have a pin put in his leg, with a dog that size why didn't they use a staple. At any rate the procedure cost my daughter a whopping $340.00 to have this done. What would it have cost up in this neck of the woods. I wouldn't want to guess at that one. The operation went well and Johnny is at home relaxing in his cage so he can't walk around. The doctor said he heal up just fine and be good as new.

YOUR RIGHT TO CLAIM COMPENSATION

If you have had an accident of any sort, traffic, work related or fell down in a store or someones home you are entitled. Compensation is no just contained to accidents. If you contracted a disease or illness at your workplace you might be entitled to compensation as well.

I had a family member who was injured on the job. He was out of work for some time and was entitled to compensation. What he didn't do was contact the right people to help him. Those he did secure for help took their time about doing things and in the end he lost out. Oh sure, he did get a monetary settlement but it wasn't through the people he hired, it was a small settlement given by the company. Don't let this happen to you.

DEBBIE UPDATE - GOOD NEWS

In an e-mail from Debbie's sister I was informed that when her daughter went to see her today Debbie woke up. Although still drugged her daughter asked her to open her eyes, which she did. They didn't focus but she did open them. She asked her if she loved her and Debbie nodded. When touched on her arm she nodded that she could feel the touch. It's a step in the right direction. Lets keep praying and get her home and well.

STILL SNOWING

As I wrote last night my granddaughter was looking for a delay or a day off due to the snow. It is still snowing and we have about six inches on the ground. The much awaited call usually comes around 4:00 am but not today. Last time there was a day off there was less snow than now. Disappointed look on my granddaughters face was like Santa not coming and delivering presents. If the snow keeps up as it is maybe they will get out early today. All I can do is stay by the phone and wait for a phone call. To the rest of you who have to go to work or travel elsewhere, be careful and safe.

THINKING OF SPRING

As I sit here and type this post the snow is coming down at a pretty fast pace, my mind is not here but months ahead thinking of Spring. Yes Spring. That is when the campground opens, April 15, and I get to see all of my camping friends again. There will be hugs and kisses, enjoy kissing the young girls, idle chatter and of course the sitting around the campfire telling stories of the past six months and finding out what is new in every body's lives. Can't wait to see how big my neighbors little boy Zane got. He's a cuttie. These are the things that get me through winter, especially being alone as some of you know the feeling. I have a huge Redbud tree in front of my camper that my wife wanted and each year it is more beautiful than the last when it blooms. I only wish she were here to see it although deep down inside I know she does see it.

GET THE RIGHT TRAINING WITH AVAND

Are you looking for a new job that will take you down the road to success and a profitable future?
Well in order to get there you will need the proper training from people who have been there and done that.

When I started my first job and finally retired after 40 years I can now sit back and reflect on what training I had over the years. Everyone started in the mail room and that is when training started so we could focus on what the entire corporation did. From there we were assigned to a department within a division and training began again. Both in the classroom and by sitting at a desk and having hands on training which was overseen by a seasoned employee. I can't tell you how many training sessions I have attended over the years but I can tell you that each and every one of them opened new doors to being a better employee. Maybe thats why I was there for those 40 years. Back then we didn't have Avand Sales Training UK available to us.

If you need training in any field go to the following website http://www.avand.co.uk/ and see what they have to offer. At Avand you can find courses for sales, plumbing and management.
Just go to their website and click on the join us button, fill out the form that comes up and Avand will get in touch with you. How easy is that to get started in your career.

NIGHT OF ANTICIPATION

Well it's snowing again. I didn't even know it was going to snow until I treated myself to lunch at the Old Country Buffet and heard people talking about it. Did shopping so I don't have to worry about running out of something. My granddaughter went to bed to night as jumpy as a snowman by a hot stove, wondering how much snow we were going to get. Not that she cares. The big thing is will there be a two hour delay or no school at all. It's as Santa was coming again. Needless to say she is hoping for the second option, no school. We'll just have to wait and see. My concern is shoveling a place in the year for the dog to do her stuff. It's coming down pretty good right now. Sweet dreams and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

BLACK FRIDAY FOLLOW-UP

How did your holiday shopping go. Was it smooth sailing or was it hectic and miserable. Well I can tell you in all honesty that mine was Divine, great and wonderful. I stayed at home on that Friday, logged on the my computer with my cup of coffee and let my fingers do the walking. I could go on line and see who had deals, coupons and with that information I was able to choose the right gifts for the right person. If you would like to continue shopping log into http://www.blackfriday.info/ and put in your e-mail address and they will send you the latest Black Friday ads posted. On this site you can get free coupons, free samples and much more.

By going to this site you can see ads, see your shopping list, see coupons and deals and also contact them with questions or concerns about black friday.

By using black friday I was able to find deals at my favorite store. The reason is very simple. They offered free shipping and this is an important thing to me because I have family in Texas and with the amount of presents I have to buy and ship it would cost me a fortune. Not only that but it is a one stop shopping experience because they have everything for everybody. Clothes, toys, electronics and any thing else you may want. I enjoyed this shopping experience so much that I am looking forward to doing it again in 2008. Remember http://www.blackfriday.info/ and black friday for continuous coupons and deals.

UPDATE #5 ON FRIEND DEBBIE

All I can say is that I get e-mails from her husband and at this time there is very little improvement. Her new lung still has a lot of fluid. Her husband met with transplant surgeons this morning. I do not know the outcome. Please keep praying for her.

4:00 PHONE CALL

I have written a previous post about the snow and my granddaughter hoping for a snow day. It is now 12:15 am and the snow is still coming down at a good pace. It is the type of snowfall that looks like feathers falling from the sky. The tree branches are covered with about two inches and it looks like a winter wonderland outside. I know I can expect a 4:00 phone call advising of either no school or two hour delay. Being retired, I don't have to go out in the snow in the morning but I wish those of you who have to the best of luck and be careful out there.

COSMETIC SURGERY IN THE UK

Have you ever considered having cosmetic surgery? I would like you to look at the following news story, and others, that are on the following website. Go to http://www.mya.co.uk/press-office/cosmetic-surgery-news.php and read the news articles published for your reading and information. An article that I found interesting is on that says almost half of UK adults, 44 percent would consider having cosmetic surgery at some point in their lives. Now that is a large number.

The most popular cosmetic surgery being tummy tucks and liposuction. That's odd I would think breast enhancement or reduction would top that. The figures show 40% favor tummy tucks and 36% favoring liposuction. Women are the most likely to have these procedures. 57% of those with children aged between 5 and 9 saying they would have a tummy tuck and 45% having liposuction.

The reason women are most likely to have cosmetic surgery is that having children puts a women's body through an awful change and many feel unhappy with their post-pregnancy figure.

In the year 2007 there were 20,300 body shaping procedures performed in the UK.

Go to their website for new articles which is http://www.mya.co.uk/press-office/cosmetic-surgery-news.php or log on to http://www.mya.co.uk/ for information about other cosmetic surgery's available. UK Breast Enhancement is another procedure available to you. Go to the website and read about the company, the procedures I mentioned in the news article, see before and after pictures and read stories from patients. If you are interested, visit the site and fill out the form on the home page and they will call you or you can call the toll free number which you can also find on the home page.

UPDATE ON MY FRIEND DEBBIE

In an e-mail from her husband I was told that she still has not responded to touch, her fingers and toes are blue and there is concern that she may lose some of them. Her daughters tried to get her so respond in some manner by teller her they were both pregnant, this brought a flutter of her eyelids but that was about all. As I said before they think she may have had a stroke. Please keep praying for this wonderful woman who has been through so much over the last ten years.

EARTH CO MORTGAGES

In going thru the websites I came across a new article which was published in the Moneywise magazine. It went on to say the following. After the nationalisation of Northern Rock, mortgage holders "don't need to worry". The personal finance site has told customers of the bank that mortgage holders are the "least troubled" out of people that have a link with the bank.

The magazine also said "for mortgage holders it shouldn't be much of a problem. When it comes time to re-mortgage the should look around at what is available to them in the entire mortgage market. The article said that it is the shareholders who will suffer. Customers have been notified that the bank is doing business as usual.

If you will be looking for a Mortgage or Mortgages , I would suggest that you look this website http://www.earth.co.uk/ for all your needs. They can give you information about first time buyers, bad credit mortgages, secured loans. There is no running around to do, just go to the website and fill out the form that is there and they will contact you. Now, how easy is that. If you are in need of any kind of mortgage go to http://www.earth.co.uk/ and see what they can do for you.

PRAYING FOR DEBBIE

Not much has changed since my last post. As a matter of fact the doctors think she may have had a stroke. They will look into this.

Three other people have had lung transplants since saturday and are doing very well. Sitting up and talking and being taken out of the ICU unit to a general room with intentions of going home next week. Debbie is far from this. Keep praying for her.

PARENTS CUTTING EXPENDITURE ON CHILDREN

In checking out a website called http://www.magicloans.co.uk/ I came across one of several new items they put out for people looking for loans to read. This particular news item caught my eye because it was about children. The title of the article was Parents Cutting Expenditure on Children. It is a commentary from the loans and financial industry. Basically what they are saying is that parents are going to spend less money on their children this year.

A survey by Engage Mutual Assurance shows that debt fears have resulted in tightening the family budget, with 44% of those with children under the age of 18 claiming to be struggling to make ends meet. It also shows that more than one in five parents care cutting back on clothes spending, while spending on toys is being minimised by 26% and investments for children will be limited by 22%.

Karl Elliott spokesperson for Engage Mutual Assurance, comments "with increased cost of fuel, food and mortgages taking effect, our research shows many parents anticipate finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet in the year ahead.

SPENCER'S FOOD FIGHT

It was a quiet day in the lunchroom of the Shiner, Texas school where my grandson Spencer goes. The temperature outside was 84 degrees with a nice breeze but inside it was a little warmer. The future leaders of our country who are now in the first, second and third grade were eating their lunch and enjoying the time away from class. The calm was broken when a grilled cheese sandwich went sailing thru the air and found it's target, a young man by the name of Jason. Did he retaliate? Yes he did returning fire with a fully loaded cheeseburger as did others at his table. Spencer being proud of his shot was bragging that he cast the first stone and fired again with a piece of pineapple. Soon others got into this food fest and it took some time to settle these future leaders down. When asked who started it, all fingers pointed to my grandson Spencer. Mom got a call from the principal asking permission to give him five swats on the butt with the paddle for his starting the food fight. Spanking is allowed in Texas with the permission of the parent. Mom not believeing what she was hearing said no to the spanking and she would take care of it when he got home. I must say Spencer spent a considerable amount of time standing in the corner and doing extra choirs around the house. He really is a good boy. Oh by the was Spencers defense was that his friend sitting next to him told him to do it.

VERY RELAXING DAY

Although the weather here was cold I still got out of the house for a while because cabin fever was setting in. Where did I go? Probably places that wouldn't interest most of you but I got there to see I can find things to sell on eBay. Yes on eBay. Being old and retired I have to do other things besides blog. I went to some Thrift Stores in search of treasures and treasures I did find, one being a large bag of Sesame Street small figures, Disney figures and others I don't know who they are yet. There must be a hundred pieces in this bag. I'm thrilled. Another treasure I found was a huge car with Goffey in a car and the bag he came in is just chuck full of pieces and other animals. I haven't opened it yet but am biting at the bit to open it. I keep telling myself, one thing at a time, one thing at a time. Maybe tomorrow. Naaah. After I found my treasures I treated myself to lunch at McDonalds. Say an attractive women at the table next to me. Almost talked to her. The only thing that stopped me was that her husband showed up. Oh well. After I ate I came home and read the paper. Great Day.

DEBBIE UPDATE

For all you wonderful people who are following the Debbie posts, I received the latest update last night and things are still improving. They were able to reduce her oxygen to 50% yesterday which is down from 100% the day before.. She is now on dialysis which the doctors are still saying that it will be a short term thing. She is now showing more neurological signs such as moving her eyelids and was able to raise her arm by herself. They are going to try and bring her out of sedation today and see how she does with it. The really good news is that the transplant surgeon said on Sunday night he had considered her as having no chanceof survival. Now he has changed his mind and says at this point it is at 50%.

I continue to ask you wonderful folks to continue your prayers for Debbie. They seem to have a positive effect on her.

Thank you and God Bless you.

POWER OF PRAYER HELPS

I heard word from my friend this morning telling me that her sister Debbie who had the lung transplant had a turnaround late yesterday afternoon and her new lung is functioning at 70%. The doctors are at a loss for words as to why it had such a fast recovery. She still has problems with her kidneys and will start dialysis today and the doctors think it will be a short term situation.

Does the power of prayer work? What do you think. If you looked at my post yesterday and said a prayer I want to say thank you and God bless you. Please keep praying for her full recovery.

If you hvae time, please check out my other blog http://ladyandie.blogspot.com

POWER OF PRAYER

I am asking anyone out there to please join me in praying for two of my friends. One is Debbie and she has just had a lung transplant a few days ago and at this point things are not going too well. After the transplant certain complications set in and as of this morning her kidneys are not functioning properly. They were going to put her on the list for another lung but with the kidney problem may stop this from happening.

The other person is my friend Barb. Barb just had a stem cell transplant and at this point with all the antibiotics they put into you when they do this, she is very sick. Hopefully each day will get better for her as it did my wife. I pray that this procedure works for her.

I am asking that you take a moment from your day and say a prayer for these two wonderful people.

Thank you.

AIDDIN THE SHOOTER

As I have mentioned before in my other blot, http://ladyandie.blogspot.com, I have two grandsons in Texas. This particular story embarassed his mother to no end. She had to pick up a few things at the local Dollar Tree stock and thought as long as Spencer, the older brother, was in the car, she would leave both Aiddin (3) and Spencer in the van so she wouldn't have to deal with the boys saying I want this or I want that. Maybe she should have taken them with her. In the parking lot the van was parked at a angle to the store and the highway. As she approached the van she could see a stream of water(?) coming out of the van in a perfect arc. As she got closer she could see Aiddin, pants down, facing the highway doing his thing. Being a small town there isn't much traffic that goes by the store but those who did blew their horn in approval as to what this little guy was doing. That a boy Aiddin.

SPENCER THE MUDDER

For Spencers birthday I bought him a battery powered dirt bike. Something that he has always wanted. It's pretty neat, gets up to 15 mph and gives him a lot of fun. Well being that he lives in Texas and the temperature is 87 degrees he can be in his swim suit and have the hose running in the yard. Well the other day he deceided to go mudding with his dirt bike. He let the hose run in one spot until it good and wet and muddy. He then got on his dirt bike and proceeded to run back and forth through this mud puddle with the hose spraying upward and water coming down as if it were raining. He did this to keep the ground wet. About a half hour later mom came out to see what he was doing and all she was a kid and dirt bike full of mud. All she could see of Spencer were his eyes, the rest was mud. There was a nice hole in the ground which needs to dry out and be re-seeded. His mom took pictures which are unbelievable. Of course he spent some quality time standing in the corner. But he had great memories to take his mind off of standing in the corner. God Bless you Spencer.

ONLY IN AMERICA

In reading the local paper the other day I came across an article about an increase in salary of two officials in Hammond Ind. With me getting a $29.00 a month increase in my Social Security check and trying trying to make ends meet I wonder how they justify an salary increase of $15,000.00 a year to both the Fire Chief and the Police Chief. I bet they won't have a problem paying their property taxes as well as anything else like the rest of us do.
