I was just asking about you the other day, haden't seen you. What are you working now? I say we skip the extra shift and just meet for lunch. At least that way we get lunch.
Desiree, never apologize for your desire to succeed and better yourself. Your so right, there is much more work to do and so many who need our care. I just retired a month ago at 55. I am not done either by any means. I moved up here to Alaska and later this next Spring I will see what I can do to contribute as a volunteer. Give it all you got Desiree.
