TCS Member Spotlight 7/18-7/25: BETH!! (Ali012281)

[ali012281]

Here are some more from me:

How did the drug screening go today?

Fine. lol I get results on Thursday. Not that there is anything to worry about. I was really shocked at how strick they are!!! You go in with a cup... they say 'do not flush, do not run the water' So you show them the cup. They take the temperature (they kept my handbag at the desk... cause its kinda big... right like I'm going to smuggle pee in).... then they tell you to go back into the bathroom and leave the door open, pour what is in the cup into a tube and seal it. Then you can wash your hands and flush and stuff. I have stage fright too... too much pressure to pee.

Post a picture of the contents of your purse. (please be sure to not show ID or credit card numbers!!!!)

Will do photo assignment in the am. Hubby is sleeping and cranky.
When you were a child did you paint by number? Oh yes. And I do it as an adult too... but with more complex pieces ha ha
Did you know pink is the new black and that pink is very popular with men now? I stand by that only Donald Trump can get away with pink
Knowing that, are you going to switch toothbrushes with hubby? Nah, his is kinda gross
Do you brush Meishka's teeth? If not do you think she would let you? Tried... so No and No. We have oral care food for her.
Are you excited that Rigel is OK after Emily? Yes!! I know how scarey hurricanes can be!!!
Do you regularly read threads in "Fur Pictures Only!"? I read them but I don't always reply

Shame on me. I just like looking sometimes.
Do you take lots of photos of Meishka? Too many... you'd think she was a real newborn
How many bottles of nail polish do you own? Right now 6
Do you still color in coloring books? Did that paint by numbers confession count?

Thanks SillyJilly!

 

[sillyjilly]

Great answers!!! And I know exactly what you mean with how strict they are. I've had to take them for a few places I've worked before... It was so bad the Pee Mobile pulls up and two go at a time!!! (A book mobile type of like RV) Some people do try to smuggle stuff though!!! Will have to think up more questions for you soon!

Silly Jilly

 

[ali012281]

ok, this time I am not waiting until the last day! so dear Beth...gosh I remember the day you joined! I was crazy about your siggie. Has it been a year and a 1/2? WOW!

So here's what I wanna know:

Do you prefer dawn or dusk and why? I do really like Dawn (not that I see it often cause I'm not a morning person) but the colors are just so lovely and the day is being born. You can't get much better than that. Makes me thankful to be alive.

What is the one thing in your life that caused the biggest epiphany for you? I think the biggest thing in my life to really stop and make me think was the night my grandma was killed. I had just talked to her the day before her wedding and then a week later she was dead. She was crossing the road and was hit. Losing someone so fast like that really made me think about life. It made me think about how I was treating myself and things I've done in the past. It reminded me that life is fragile and nothing is forever. I'm always letting my family how much I love them and need them. I tell my husband what a noble man he is doing the job that he does. I thanked my parents for doing the dirty and bringing me into the world. I reassured my mother (who always second guesses herself) that she did a good job raising me and I wouldn't change a single thing about my up bringing.

Losing her the way I did reminds me to enjoy life while I am here. Nothing is forever and all bad times will come to an end. Worrying is pointless because tomorrow is always a new day. (sleeping yet?)

If you could have 7 people from any time in history at your dinner table, who would they be? Edgar Allen Poe (cause I have tons of questions about what the heck he was writing about), JFK, Judy Garland, Sinatra, Dino (no not the cartoon), CS Lewis, Aristotle

Victoria's Secret - or - Jockey? Vicky

Oh I am so sorry. I love to ask that question every now and then but I need to be better prepared for the answers sometimes. I am so very sorry. I was a very young widow at age 23, from a similar loss. I am so sorry, Beth.

...and NO I AM NOT SLEEPING! I think you're fascinating. I love these threads.

 

[sillyjilly]

Love

these threads!!!!!

Oh my!!! I'm so sorry that you were widowed so young!!! I live with that fear with my hubby being in the army. I can't imagine what I would do. Knowing that that is a risk we never leave the house upset with one another and we always end the day with "i love you" no matter how bad it was. Things happen too quickly.



And I don't want to depress anyone with what I wrote up there. I would never say I'm glad it happened (cause I miss her terribly) but it opened my eyes and I'm all the better for it.

Thank you for the answers Beth.

I love Greek Salad too and I have a ready made greek salad to team up with dinner tonight. Crumbed Hoki and Greek Salad. I was sneaky and stole some feta. Got too big of a chunk and now I'm feeling a bit ill, that was the reasing behind the question. Lol!

Ok Beth a Milo is a powdered chocolate drink - http://www.nestle.com.au/milo/main.asp

Milo is really good spinkled over vanilla ice-cream too!

Ribena is a Blackcurrent fruit juice. http://www.ribena.co.uk/

It is the best drink ever!

And L&P! It stands for Lemon and Paeroa. It is a delicious "World Famous in NZ drink" http://www.landp.co.nz/

Go that website - the opening page is so funny and so kiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Happy I could teach you something on this fine sunny day!
