Thanks Michele. Wishing you a wonderful day, too. Looks like we've made it through another year.

Merry Christmas Michele to you and yours

I just had to wish you a happy birthday, too. Sorry I haven't been around much, but think if you often and hope you're well and enjoying your special day!!

Good to hear from you too. I hope you're enjoying the summer so far. Wow, it's almost half over.

I like to use PhotoBucket to put up pictures for family and friends because it's easy and free. More pictures are here - http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/a...New%20Zealand/

Cheers Michele

FYI - They retired the name Michele for hurricanes after Hurricane Michelle in 2001 that caused $2.7B in damage, killed 22 people and 62 are missing. It was over Cuba and Central America and tied for the largest ever in November in the North Atlantic.

Nice to hear from you, too, Michele. Cheers with a cool one!

Picnic at Centre Island sounds like a nice idea. You say we are talking about it. Who is 'we'? Thanks for all the reps, even when I haven't been very good at reciprocating.

Agree on the picnic. We should try and fit it in. Take care Michele, Michele

HI Michele
thanks so much for taking the time to write me ,your so sweet,Ive been on holidays for the past week and a half ,mom has been up for a week but went back this morning,we had a great week so i havent been on here much at all,back to work Wednesday for me,hope u are doing good ,keep smiling my friend and namesame,,lol,,Michele

Hey Michele. I was just thinking about you. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to read all the posts so I thought I might have missed your latest posts, but I hadn't see you around lately and I was starting to worry that something might have happened to you. I'm glad you're okay Have a great weekend (providing you get one). Big cheers for my friend and namesake (whatever that means) Michele.

Hi Michele,glad u like your new furniture,it sounds great,funny u said about the tv too cuz im always one of those it has to be a known name but ill for sure keep an open mind if shopping for a new tv,,i did go for the interview but havent heard a thing,being stuck in the fast food industry for 16yrs kind of hurts ,but my fingers are crossed i really need a change,these long hours are catching up,8 days in a row now,about 60 hours ive put in,,shoot me now!! take care your friend michele

I'll have to send you pictures. The little staff table is a light spruce wood and the wardrobe and CD stand are stained a light brown antique colour.

It turned out that the furniture didn't fit as I thought it would and so I had to replace the old tube TV with a flat screen. Boy did I ever spurge this week! But now I have a nice 32" flatscreen - had to buy a Rogers box to get HDTV though. Best Buy had the Dynex 32" for $379. It had great reviews and so I took the chance because I always buy brand name. It is great - I'd recommend it if you're in the market for a TV.

Sorry you had to work so much, too, but we get our time later. Didn't you say you had an interview? How did it go?

Night night

To answer your question, I have to work/teach tomorrow (Saturday) & Monday, Tuesday. Sunday I'm catching up on other stuff and then a lot of other work to do besides teaching. My business is coming along, but still quite a way to go before I can start working regular people hours. I hope it's all worth it. If you know any Project Managers interest in a Project Management Professional certification, I'd appreciate the referral. I give $100 to people who refer students every class because I appreciate the support. Have a great weekend and I hope you don't have to work too hard.

Good morning Michele,hope you are doing good and not working too hard,,,I love your pics,awsome,I made an album on here but im not sure if I did it correctly,Can you check my profile and let me know if you see the pics,thanks and have a great weekend,do you work all weekend? either way take care Michele

Thanks Michele,your the best!! Hope u are finding a little time for some R&R even if its raining,LOL,,take care and keep smiling Michele

OH what a jerk Michele,to buy u such a nice song and then dump u ,wow,thats crazy and im sure he is kicking his butt years later and probably sleeping alone,hahaha,,take care

When I was 17, my boyfriend bought me 'Seasons in the Sun', played it for me and then broke up with me .... therefore, not my favorite song. Mind you 33 years later he's still kicking himself for being so stupid and loosing the best girlfriend ever.

Michele,,ohhhh I at times wanted to throw the radio in the field when that song would come on,yes I did figure out how to add u as a friend,My mother is also scottish decent and my father also,I grew up in New brunswick in an english part totally so my parents being political told me that they wanted the Michele name but to be spelled properly with 1 L ,funny I do love the song "seasons in the sun" good ole terry jacks i think sang it,,,have a great day!!

I see you figured it out. Thanks for the background. It's interesting to know why people called their kids Michele. My mom's background is Scottish; dad is Italian. I'm not sure why she choose one L over two. I never thought to ask. And she died in December and I can't ask her now. When I was growing up, my best friend down the street, who was born 11 months after me, was named Michelle with 2 L's. At that time the name started to catch on ... after I was called Michele; he he. I think the name first came from the Beatles song. Aren't you sick of people singing Michele My Bell to you?

id add u as a friend michele but i dont know how,,,LOL

Hi Michele,,funny mom named me with the one L cuz she said that is the proper english spelling, who knows,Im 42,and u are the first michele ive seen older than me with the same spelling,gotta love it,,cheers

Oh ya, true. Both spelled with one "L". Aren't you sick of saying one "L"? You must be younger than me. I've only met one Michele or Michelle in my life older. I'm 51. My mom called me Michele because it was unusual. Ah and yes, we are Godly according to our name's meaning. Take care.
