But then they probably find silly reasons for the firing...<br /><br />I love online shopping. I have never been much of a shopper and I don't have a shoe obsession- total failure as the female stereotype. <br /><br />I think I'll try that pie the next time the boys are home. Something new for a change.

I think family day would be a cute thing to have as a holiday, assuming of course people would spend time with their families.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-81050177821216664162019-02-18T13:13:37.487-05:002019-02-18T13:13:37.487-05:00I didn't remember, it's a while since we l...I didn't remember, it's a while since we live in the US Susan.

All they want is a paycheck.<br /><br />That pie looks wonderful! Wish I had the ingredients... I would love to have a piece for lunch~<br /><br />Take care and keep warm....Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-85450365150359532072019-02-18T10:42:07.472-05:002019-02-18T10:42:07.472-05:00I heard Walmart is a horrible place to work at and...I heard Walmart is a horrible place to work at and they are quite cruel when it comes to getting rid of people which is one reason I hate to ever go there.
