Monday night she was in agony with her wisdom teeth, and woke up yesterday with a swollen face Today she started both jobs, one this morning, the other this afternoon - so off she goes with her 'funny' shoe on and a swollen face, happy as a pig in sh!t - gotta admire that


Here's a pic of her foot - its pretty messed up, be warned..

Hey don't knock all men, my youngest went back to work at Party City after his eye surgery with double vision. They let him wear a pirate hat and eye patch til it cleared up.

Good for your boy Bev.. you really do have to admire when these kids have that sort of work ethic

Maybe it's the state you're in?

I don't understand these kids these days. I'm officially an old lady I think.

samba, the event planning thing could indeed be a good move for her. She'll make more money and have a better time than in fashion merchandising. It can be a nice in-house position in a big enough company, too.
Good on her!
