I do firmly believe in miracles. I think two just happened this morning.

[the ringo kid]

Your blessed. It's only natural to be nervous about starting a new job, especially after such a long time away from the regular work force. It's evident from your post that you have a dialog with God. He's listening and will not let you down now. Sonora

These past 2 months have been a rollercoaster ride for sure. The "dr" I wrote about some time ago--is still being proven wrong in my case--but for some reason--still has too much power over the company I really started out wanting a career with. Ive still not heard from MV corporate and now--my loyalty is for Home Depot-even though ill probably struggle to make $600-to-$800 a month. I'm thinking I can already advance within 90 days.

 

[the ringo kid]

Good luck! I've retired twice, only to find out that I have a new job each time. My wife says I'm the most employed retiree she's ever known. You'll do great.

If I can do at least 12 there? ill still have enough left in me for hopefully 13 more-with the Fed Govt. Ill then be sitting very pretty triple-dipping.

 

[the ringo kid]

Prayers and best wishes; give Shasta a extra ear scratch. Home Depot is a good company; you'll be good for them.

Thank you and will-do. Ill probably relax on my porch this evening and let her out for a couple hours.

 

[the ringo kid]

I don't know you, but I'm happy things are looking up for you and Shasta, hang in there! Ron

Thank you Ron, and all of your thoughts really are making a difference. Especially these past 8 weeks--were very rough on everybody's end.

One of the best things I got for my birthday--was a 3 season box set of: The Untouchables. Both Sabrina and I are starting to enjoy those.

 

[the ringo kid]

Happy to hear you getting on the positive side of things, lots of folk here rooting, praying and hoping the best for you, Sabrina and your darn cat! Pretty sure I speak for all when I say no one wants a doggone thing except to hear you're doing well with the day by day.
You keep pushing and we'll keep pulling and count on you getting there.
Stay well...

Thank you and, the wishes here for the one, from the many, really have recharged my batteries. One thing on Shasta--I'm guessing her insulin is finally taking hold--she's not emptying her water bowl like before--and not living in her litter box. Having not experienced diabetes personally--had me stressed out. She is a domestic long hair--and has been one tough kitty.

 

[the ringo kid]

We are wishing you All the Best, Kid! Hang in there, take one day at a time. In a month or two you'll be an old pro on that job.

Thank you. I should be trained by the best--I'm just hoping ill not flub it during training? This particular store needs some equipment replaced-so some customers are getting impatient with the slow machines. Guess this will be an opportune time to test my people skills.

 

[the ringo kid]

I don't know you personally, sir, but you sound like a true gentleman and I'm happy to read your news. I know how it feels like when you cannot catch a break and it's heart-wrenching. Gotta keep positive, never forget, "this too shall pass".

I wish you much success in your new job!! Good times ahead.

Diego

Thank you Diego--and I'm am grateful for your nice wishes.

 

[the ringo kid]

Great news, Carl. I also know that miracles happen and that when prayers are answered timing is everything. I am so glad things are finally starting to come together and that you will be working soon. That is wonderful! I am also happy that Shasta is starting to feel better too.

Ive felt some stress (Shasta) leaving me but I'm impatient to see her return back to normal.

I'm glad positive things are finally happening--and I think I'm beginning to get slightly more restful sleep too. Its been bad for almost 15 months--no sleep without pills.

Here's to more good things coming your way, Ringo Kid (cheers)

 

[the ringo kid]

I have to run in a few or id finish replying. But I wanted to give my thanks too-for those ive no time to reply to yet. Not sure exactly when my first day will be? but hoping before the end of the coming week.

"The Lord bless you and keep you;

The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."'
(Numbers 6:24-26)

The Lord does hear and answers every prayer. Sometimes the answer "Yes," sometimes it's "No" and sometimes it's "wait."

Paul tells us to "Pray without ceasing" in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I pray He will continue to bless you, my friend I've never met.

 

[walkin jack]

You hang in there Carl! The power of prayer will see you through. You have a lot of good friends in here and we are here for you. God can't ignore all of us!

Never give up hope as long as you hang on and keep tryin' you can make it. That big break you a re looking for could happen any minute. You just can't see what's coming just around the corner. Keep your faith and keep on keepin' on. To quote a line from Josey Wales by Chief Dan George, Endeavor to persevere."

And you needn't send me anything. Your continued friendship is all I require. I would truly feel a lot better if you would use your resources to help Shasta and Sabrina...and to replace the guns you had to sell.
God bless.

Hang in there!

Sorry to hear about your little friend's troubles. Take care of God's gifts, in the forms of Dogs & Cats. We spent the last two years of our last dog's life, a little Min Pin, giving her two insulin shots two times per day. It was a small price to pay, repaying Rosie's Total love that she gave to my wife, and I. God allowed us to share her Love and devotion for 12 + years, and I don't regret one bit of the time spent in taking care of her needs, after she developed diabetes. It's been over two years, since we lost our little friend, and I still can't get over her loss. Enjoy your pets while you can. I've had five dogs, and Two Cats in my 86 years, and enjoyed them all. Hang in there! You won't be sorry.

Carl,

Wonderful news, and so happy that Shasta is doing better!! Our furry friends are a priceless part of our tenure here on earth, and I know the anguish that we feel when they have seemingly incurable maladies.

The Home Depot job is another heaven sent blessing, and I'm sure that all of us out here are rooting for you.

Best Regards, Les

Thank you. Im especially trying to give thanks for what God did for me on Thursday-and hope after im in a better position--that I can finally give something back--and to the needy as well.

I forgot to mention, early thurs afternoon--I donated two large boxes of mostly new clothes that out-grew ma. For a couple of months--I tried selling them to those who buy garage sales-resale shops etc. Not a one of them came through--and I made a promise that I was going to donate them anyway-job or no job. I guess it was meant to be on donating? I probably could have got $30--from selling them but, more satisfaction that I donated. Well, I donated-then had my interview on Friday, and I got rewarded.

Thank you Jack, and in the least--id love to have a phone conversation with you some time when I get to know my pending schedule. A lot of you all here are friends that I also wish that I had met much sooner. As Hondo kinda said: "Good friends (shirts) are hard to come by" just before he knocked Ed Lowe (Leo Gordon) on his ashcan.

I needed a good western reference--and that is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, and I hope I can look after her properly while I have her. Shasta is an equal in my thinking--like the daughter I do not have. I am glad you had at least 12 years with yours. I wish everyone could enjoy many more with their pals. I am very grateful to have had her 14 years so far--but would be better satisfied if im granted a few more human years with her. All I know-is I will have her cremated-then when its my time-she will be mixed with my ashes.

Thank you Les, you are one of about a dozen here I feel really close with and am grateful for your helping words. Shasta seems to be in better spirit-but still a long way from her old self. Her eating is sporadic--and I know she wants to be in my lap, just something not quite right and its keeping her from it. Last night she stayed on the back of my chair for about an hour I guess? Then spent maybe the same in my lap.

Miracles happen every day!

Good luck with the new job - you'll do fine!

Best wishes and good luck to you and your family.

 

[the ringo kid]

^^^^^^^Thank you. After 14 years--im rusty as heck but, the head cashier seems to be very nice and patient.
