Hi Everyone,

I wanted to commemorate my 800th post with a big thank you to everyone for being so gracious to me on this board and allowing me to help in any way that I can. I feel very fortunate to still be able to "participate" in aviation, an industry I love, but am no longer involved in.

I know it sounds strange, but as many of you know, aviation "gets in your blood" and it is hard to let go. Thank you all for allowing me to participate! :)

Here's to more posts and maybe getting a hobby! :D

That's funny, because I was just finishing off my 800th bottle of booze for this year. Oooooops, never mind.
 
Congrats on the 800th Kathy.

Isn't it amazing how busy our lives are yet we still find that free moment to come visit each other on flightinfo!?!? :D

*cling* (a toast...here is to the next 800!!)

Sorry folks, this is a hobby. It may be a sick hobby but it's MINE!:)

Congrats, Kathy, thanks for all your help--that's what this board is really about.TC

P.S.--My wife dreams of moving back to PHX so she can go trail riding at South Mountain again...:(

Did your wife grow up near South Mountain? I grew up in Laveen. Used to ride the South Mountains trails all the time!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I will keep posting information as I find it!

RavenGirl,

That reminds me of a funny luncheon I had about 3 weeks ago. Many of my resume writer colleagues and I were sitting around talking about how our grandmothers used to knit those toilet paper covers to hide extra rolls of toilet paper. You know, the ones that looked like a poodle or had a doll face attached to them somehow.

Turns out that one of our colleagues had never had the benefit of seeing one of these! So, as a joke, we searched high and low to find one as a gag present. We dug up a pink poodle one with the ball on the end of the tail! :D Afterwards, she totally understood our initial jokes about what we saw as children.

I did, however, like the little knit caps that the elderly ladies make for the babies in the newborn nursery in the hospital where I had my daughter. I will save them for her so she can pass them on to her daughter. I also like the afghans that my grandmother made; they were always so warm!

Hahaha...that's funny, I was just thinking the other day about my grandma and how she had one of those things on top of her wc.

Oh yeah, I remember those. My grandmothers never made them, but my mother is another story :rolleyes: I did get a lot of mittens and sweaters from both grandmothers, though!

Funny toilet-paper-cover story: I dated a boy back during my first couple years of college...one day I was over at his house, and needed to use the bathroom. His little brother was taking a shower in his bathroom, so I went upstairs to use his parent's bathroom. I noticed an absolutely hideous matched set of toilet paper and kleenex covers sitting on the back of the toilet. I'm talking pea soup green and tomato red, the kind of thing that makes you wonder who EVER thought it looked good!

Anyhow, when I was finished and had washed my hands, I went back towards the toilet to grab a tissue. I was puzzled, because I saw no tissue coming out the top of the kleenex box cover. I figured the box was just empty, so I took the cover off, intending to ask my boyfriend for a new box to put in there. When the cover was off, I did a double take - there was no kleenex to begin with...but a giant brick of weed. Weed! I stood there for a second just staring, and then I started to laugh. I guess I laughed pretty loud, because soon my boyfriend was upstairs with me. He put the kleenex cover back over his parent's stash, and told me to come into their bedroom with him.

Well, he took the shade off the pretty purple "lamp" I'd admired once before, to reveal a rather sizable "smoking apparatus." I mean, this thing was almost as tall as I am, and I'm 5'9" tall! It explained the weird smells that came through the house at odd moments. At that point I was almost hysterical. I could never look at his parents the same way...

Thanks, sir/ma'am. I appreciate it. And, I appreciate Resume Writer's participation on the board. We've needed HR's perspective for a long time. Resume Writer is an asset to the board, a genuine expert, and I look forward to more posts from her.

Hey raven - who is that in your avatar?

And congrats Kathy! Thanks for your contributions to the board.
 
Ravengirl,

Now THAT is a much better story than mine!! I wonder if the person that knitted those covers was smoking a little of the Mary Jane? :)

I will be sharing that story with my friends!!
