  I have worked for myself for a long time and enjoy the flexibility. I am really hoping to make a great future for our family with my home candle business. So far so good but it will take time to really make a big income.

  If money didn't matter, I would love to be a teen counsellor. I love teens and really want to help them through one of the hardest times of their lives. Especially girls who are taken advantage of and feel like they have to cheapen and sell themselves out to guys because they have such a need to feel accepted. I have seen a lot of hurt

  That is the core of who I am.

  Hey GF,

  What are bento boxes anyway? Are they lunch boxes? What do you use them for?

  No, I don't think collecting Polish Pottery is dorky. I think the fact that I find this place to be the absolute best place to take a picture is though.

  This is silly but I have a special bond with my pottery. It makes me smile in a way I guess. I don't mean to be weird about it but it gets pretty darn dark and gloomy here in Washington and this stuff seems to perk me up a bit. I light candles in the winter a lot and that helps too. You'd have to experience living here to know what I mean. It's flippin' cold and wet here and I am inside almost all the time so I have to have things looking pretty. Polish is pretty.

  I never really collected anything until about 6 years ago. I fell 'in love' with Polish Pottery. It's great because I am not much on being traditional and this fits my style. It's homey, casual, yet beautiful and artistic. I won't bore you with any of the details on how it is made but the history is rather interesting.

  If you are totally bored and want to check it out, you can get a glimpse of it on my website at www.OceansideScents.com I love it so much that I had to have my picture taken in front of it.

  What a dork. lol

  a very nice lady and very pretty who has been coming in for a few weeks now, is starting to become a fatal attraction.. she comes in for the most idiotic requests and has asked me out numerous times.

  i keep giving her some excuse for not going out.. i can't tell her i am gay as that can destroy everything at work here.. any ideas?

  i don't want to hurt her feelings or stop her from spending her money here as well as sending her friends and neighbors.

  I never get hit on and I've been married for 15 yrs. I get checked out though and then I tell my husband, "I still have it!"

  I'm not a flirt (don't want to dishonor hubby) so that may be it. We married women put off the taken/unavailable vibe.

  Funny she wants you if you are gay. Can't she figure that one out?

  My employee is a single 20 yr old female dub. She is a sweetie and was baptised 1 yr ago. Got rid of her eyebrow gem and quit smoking. What a rebel. :)

  She asked me if she could read a book I am going through with my jr. high daugter. It's called,"I Kissed Dating Goodbye' by Joshua Harris. I explained it isn't so much an 'anti-dating' book as it is written to help young people gain a better understanding of having a proper perspective of the opposite sex. Anyway, it is definatley mainstream Christianity. She also took, 'The Purity Principle'.

  Is this unusual for her to be reading literature not endorsed by the WTS? What do you think her mentor will say?

  I don't know the other Simon. Even though I am cold and feverish, I still have a stink bug in me and can get fiesty with this jerk. Probably not really worth my energy though, right?

  He just said he could ban me from posting here because he is the 'owner of the site' and that I need to edit my last comment or he will ban me.. lol

  I asked him what crawled up his ass this evening.

  I've seen MUCH worse here ladies and gents. I think we are all adults here. lol

  You know, I came back to this site only to find some guy named Simon who PM'd me and thanked me for wasting his precious bandwidth by announcing that I don't feel well.

  I've found a lot of nice people here but I guess that isn't one of the qualifications for being a member.

  Sorry guys, my mouth shouldn't get dry and my heart shouldn't beat fast from reading posts here. This isn't a war zone.
