HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, DAD

No cake with fancy icing to eat.
No wrapped presents to give.
No candles to blow out.
No wishes for more years to live.

You’re having the best birthday of all.
In your new home above the sun.
For once, you have more guests than ever,
And I bet you’re having so much fun…

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.

We know you’ll live forever,
Up in God’s loving embrace.
You’ll have the time of your eternity,
To see everyone’s smiling face.

We don’t wish you down here,
For here, there’s only misery and pain.
But up there, there’s happiness for sorrow,
Up there, there’s sunshine for rain.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.

Our tears may down here still flow,
We’re sorry that you had to go.
But knowing what you had to go through,
We wish only love and happiness for you.

One day we’ll be with you above the sky.
One day we will no longer cry.
At that time, we’ll be together again.
But meanwhile, until then…

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Dad,
From your earthly family.
We miss you more than words can say.
But we know you’re as happy as you can be.

Hello, everyone. Back from my 3rd day at work. It's been going well so far. Especially since I was able to make 2 puns today at work. So, I have started on my way to becoming The Pun Master! *Dun dun DUUUUUUUN!*

*TARDIS appears near a tree and I step out of the door* Hello, every...*WHAM!* *runs into the tree and rubs my nose, turns to the TARDIS and puts my paws on my hips* What's this then, old girl? Having the door face the tree? Your version of a practical joke? HMPH! *goes back in, and TARDIS disappears, then reappears, having turned 90 degrees, then I step out again* Now, let's try this again. Hello, everybody. How are you all? I've just come back from my first day at Zaxby's. It was good. MUCH better than Kroger. Literally, and figuratively, night and day.

*sits and puts head in my paws* Some days, all your hard work, despite what is given to you...is ALL FOR FREAKING NOTHING!!! Today, I got asked in the manager's office and told that because I "failed either my drug test (which I know I didn't) or my background check" that they would have to let me go...and hey are sorry but I "should have been notified". So, basically, reading between the lines, I should not have been hired in the first place. And the manager didn't even thank me for my hard work. So, now I'm back to square one.

Only my 2nd official day, and I am so exhausted. After reviewing my schedule and talking with the person who put it in the computer, I now understand that I have to work SIX days a week...not FIVE. Evidently, I don't work Saturdays as well. *puts my head in my paws* I don't know if, or how, I can keep going like this. I've already had 5 of my fingernails ripped from my fingers, got gashes and bruises, my forearms are irritated from the cardboard boxes rubbing across them when I break them down. I'm exhausted, tired, weary, I'm not sure whether I'm getting enough sleep or not, trying to sleep during the day. For the moment, I could use all your thoughts and prayers to at least try to make it through one week of this.

Well, that was definitely an interesting experience. It wasn't really "tiring", though at times I was sweating profusely. My supervisor and co-workers are all good people. Nobody's strict but they expect you to do your best (and I really can say that I put in 110% as I accidentally worked almost an hour overtime). I haven't gotten much sleep as I'm not much of a day sleeper, and I'm still a bit tired (even after my bath...not shower like usual, but bath), but it was a "good" tired". Course, I will get the real test today as I do it again.

Well, I got the job at Krogers. Going to start it tonight. It's going to be tough as I will be working the 3rd shift (from 12 to 7 AM). Been a long while since I've worked anything like that. But, I shall do everything I can to make it. Will be doing that tonight and tomorrow night. Not sure what my schedule will be after that, but I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Well, just went in for an interview for a new job at Krogers. Everything went smoothly and they do have positions open. I should find out in a week whether I got it or not! *dances about excitedly*

Just after thimbles were invented there was a shortage, so many people got stuck without one.

*sighs* I've been with this "class" for almost a whole year. And yet, to paraphrase the Carpenters, I still "feel as if I don't belong. [Though n]othing is really wrong". I can't contribute much...I don't have any of their "experiences". I feel like a kindergartner amongst college students.:(

The two pianists had a good marriage. They always were in a chord.

To Xenomorph and Ajay,
My time here in Kentucky is almost up. I just want to say Thank You! Thank you so much for giving me an "excuse"/"reason" for this trip. On one hand, I'm sorry the weather did not permit us to go to an amusement park or waterpark as we planned, but on the other paw, I'm glad we were able to have some good food together and see a movie together. I would NOT trade that for ONE second of an amusement park. I've been "stuck" in Georgia for so long, I'm happy I had the chance to get out. To visit a state, I've never visited (though I'm sure I've been through it before). I'm honored that I got to meet you two face-to-face. And,Xeno, I'm glad I could introduce you to Doctor Who. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. You have 50 years of shows to look through, try to find out who your favorite Doctor is. Feel free to ask me any question about it.

Thank you both for everything. *hugs tight*

Well, there were a few snags in getting transportation, but it's all settled. Going on a Greyhound bus to Kentucky. That will give me plenty of opportunities for great pics. The bus will have WiFi, so I will/should be able to upload some pics as I get them. Will start my blog and give everybody the Murphy Slaugh Tour.

Hey, everyone. I will be taking a 3-4 day trip to Kentucky in on Sunday. Will be my first trip out of the state by myself in many MANY years.
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading a travel blog I plan on making?

Well, today was a mixed bag for getting outside.
Positive: Helped mom (temporarily) fix the mailbox and got to see a baby fox.
Negative: Got stung by a wasp twice and mom got stung once (more than likely by the same wasp).
Not sure what the final score is. :-/

My neighbor just got the part for Scrooge in a local performance. I'd love to go see him, but that play scares the Dickens out of me.

The pirates were fighting with each other because they didn't have good anchor management.

I have a question for all my friends. I've seen a lot of furs have some badges with them that, I believe, they got while a fur con. I've only been to one many years ago, so I really don't have a badge, but have been wanting one strictly for ID purposes.

My question is: Are badges STRICTLY from/for cons? Or is it proper to get one even if you don't go to one?

I realize that, that being the case, you'd have to have it laminated and mailed to you, but still...

I don't want to seem insincere like I have been to one, but still...again, something (besides trying to do something with my lack of artistic talent) that I can have as an ID.

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
