Love is many things. Namely: The way I feel about my next door neighbor. Mmm. That gives you like 5 or so choices. : ) IP: Logged |

mto, i love those answers! hmmm, i dont know if i can come up with an answer as good as yours. love can be very very confusing. love is uncontrollable - what i mean is, you cannot, under any circumstance, control who you love (or dont love). sometimes it backfires in your face, sometimes its embarrassing, sometimes the feeling is returned (which is always nice). love is both the bad and the good all in one. its a very complex feeling indeed. i think that everything love makes you feel, both emotionally and physically...it can also make you feel the exact opposite and the exact same time. so strange. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Love is getting along with a guy really well. And going on dates with this guy. And loving being held by this guy, and kissing this guy, and talking to this guy and doing anything with this guy. Even if it's just being in the same room or bed while you read and study for the classes you don't have together. Love is secretly knowing about his boyfriend, and not being able to make yourself do anything about it. [This message has been edited by wehttaM (edited 02-21-2009).] IP: Logged |

Does the show Bones make anyone else giddy? I love it but seem to be the only one in my house. [This message has been edited by WitchBoy06 (edited 02-21-2009).] IP: Logged |

Yes! I found one! I found a fellow fan! Is Brennan your fave character? I like to think me and her would get along if our paths did cross. IP: Logged |

They're more my favorites as a group- you need all of them to make just one amusing. I don't think I could pick a favorite. Brennan bugs me a bit sometimes. SPOILER!******** I miss Zach, too.

The one who bugs me is Hodgens with all his conspiracy theories about the government. I just can't wait for Bones and Booth to get together as a couple. They'd be sooo awesome!! But the fact that they haven't kissed or anything intimate yet just adds to the suspence. The two of them obviously care for each other. Brennan just has a uberweird way of showing it. I miss Zach too! No one can replace him in my heart! IP: Logged |

See, I don't think they'd work out as a couple. I can't deny that they care for each other, but- not in a romantic way, not really. And Brennan is just uber-weird in general... Aww, come on. Hodgins is kind of cute, in a puppy-ish way (or at least I think so), and he and Angela breaking up makes me angry. Cam's the one that bugs me, if I had to pick someone that bugged me the most. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I actually dislike Bones quite a bit. On my site (www.fanfictioncritiquegroup.com) it's the most popular fandom/show and honestly I've grown wary of watching it just to know what everyone is talking about. I jsut don't see everyone's attachment to it. I've never found anything even the slightest bit compelling about it. It's not like they have a couple as obviously meant for each other as Catherine and Warrick from CSI. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Booth and Brennan would work out I think. They seem to always get into these situations where they should kiss but they don't. Cams doesn't bother me as much as she did when she first came on the show. At first I viewed her as the meany boss but now I see her as part of the team. Angela can do so much better than Hodgins! She is all about the flow and not staying in one place to long. Actually, I can't see her being with anybody that long. (I don't really watch CSI but I vow to watch it to see what its all about.)

Not so much a question about me... but just a random querie. Have you ever had weeks where you felt like you had to work really hard to be honest? Like, where you felt like lying all the time? A pal and I were discussing this and came to the conclusion that we both had, I was just curious if we were the only ones. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I once convinced this boy I just met that my name was Fiyero for almost two weeks but then I started to laugh and he knew it wasn't my real name. We turned out to be okay friends. He just doesn't read which puts me off a bit. What do people do with their extra time if they don't read? Anyway Helen, the moral of my story is: lying is fun. Sometimes.

Okay I've got another one! So my little sister turns 14 on Monday. I put in to have The 4th of July weekend off from work so I could drive down (more than three hours from home) to visit her for her birthday. The way it worked out I was given the time off and then some and I had a whole whopping five days! Now, I was very excited about this. Problem is now that my boss has decided to tell me I have to come in on Saturday. Smack in the middle of my five days off. It costs me about $70 to go home and come back because of gas. So going down and just coming back to work won't be okay, I don't have the extra 70 bucks. Anyway, so not only did my boss tell me I have to work on Saturday but when I said "Okay will you trade shifts with me so I can get out before dark?" She said no because she had plans she "really wanted to do." I less than politely reminded her that I had put in for this time off and that my family lives more than six times further away from our studio than hers does. And that it's going to be unfair to ask them to wait up for me to arrive after 1 AM because I couldn't get a decent shift. She proceded to say "well I have something I really want to do that day so come in at 2:30." So here's my question. I *know* that I have a job and as part of that job I have to be responsible and go in to work when I'm scheduled. And I do. Every time. But I wasn't even scheduled that day. As a matter of a fact, I had previously put in for that time off as per company policy. Now in the past couple of months I've been more of an "on call" worker than having days off anyway. They're continuously calling me in 3-4 days that I have "off" in a row asking me to go in and run the studio for a while. Granted I live the closest to work when I'm at home and not trying to visit family and I've said that I don't mind going in. (Which of course I mind, but it's my job and I wanna keep being able to feed myself so I haven't said anything.) Not to mention that I've worked every single holdiay since I've been there. My birthday excluded b/c it was on one of my school days. (Thanksgiving, christmas eve, new years eve and day, v-day, saint patty's, Easter, Memorial day, mother's day, father's day, etc.) But I just feel like my boss is taking advantage of the fact that I'm *usually* willing to go above and beyond. Anyway, my question is this: What should I do about this weekend? Am I stuck working even though I put in for the time off? Should I contact uppper management? Should I show up and work until I have a reasonable amount of time to get home and then leave early? Just suck it up and do my job? (Even though I feel like it's not my job to be there when I'm scheduled off, especially when I put in for the time back in April.) And no, I can't call anyone else in. There are only three of us there and the other girl (not my boss) called my boss yesterday to say she may not be able to work Saturday. So, naturally, I was told I have to stay in town in case I need go in. And that turned into "Well, why don't you just work that day." So, the best part is that my boss gets time off if the other girl decides to come in. I work either way.

LLK - what your boss is doing is completely unacceptable. if she wants to go against compnay policy and make you work on a day that you properly took off, then she should be trying to explain that upper management. and excuse me, but how can the other just sau that she might not be able to make it to work when you ACTUALLY BOOKED THE DAY OFF?? sorry, not acceptable. its a no go in my books. you followed procedure and took the time off and she should not be telling you that you have to come in. she can't do that. as the boss, its her responsibility to make sure there is enough staff to cover the shift and if she can't get enough staff, then she should bo covering it. tell you're not coming in and that you booked the time off and if she doesnt like it, too bad. seriously...just be balsy with her. bosses and management these days take far too much for granted. exercise your rights LLK - you are not obligated to go into work on a day that you booked off way ahead of time. thats that. ------------------ IP: Logged |

LLK, i agree with Helen. Well partially. I don't think you should be so ballsy, because, well, let's face it, it's your job and you can't afford to lose it. However, I would just remind her that you put in for the time as per company policy and that you simply aren't available. you will be out of town and that's not negotiable. As helen says, the boss or other girl should be forced to work, as saying "well I have something I really want to do" and "I may not be able to work" isn't acceptible, since you requested it off properly first. They didn't do anything that consitutes protocol when it comes to taking time off and you shouldn't be punished for doing it properly. If your boss doesn't budge, THEN I would place a call to upper management and tell them the scenario, that you booked it off first, and now she's trying to take advantage of you because you're always willing to take the shifts. Stand up for yourself, you don't deserve to be walked all over, especially given the extra amount of time you put in. It seems you don't ask for much with this job, except this one thing. She has no right to take that away from you. You've earned it. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Plant a Note (edited 07-01-2009).] IP: Logged |

Well I doubled our sales goal for this week in the last two days there. So, hopefully they'll cut me some slack. It won't happen, but I can hope. I was there an hour and a half late today and a little more than an hour yesterday. I guess that's what I get for being pretty good at my job--and willing to help pretty much anyone. I've done something like twenty sessions in the last two days and earned like 3K for the studio. Which for a WalMart studio is INTENSE. Haha. Meanwhile, my next paycheck is going to be NIIICE. Can you say comission? But, I feel like if I've earned 3K in the last two days then maybe I deserve a bit of a break. *shrug.* I told them I wouldn't be here and to call me if they needed any help via phone--but that I wouldn't be coming in. I hope they can make do. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Um, if you had to pick a celebrity to babysit your child, which one would you pick? I think I want Ellen DeGeneres. She's pretty trusty. ------------------ IP: Logged |
