That sucks but you are earning major kharma points.

Right - I keep telling myself it could be far worse. I could still be at my last job. Supervisor at my last job makes this co-worker look like a star.

I know I'd be tempted to do so. That sucks, Arkie. Wish we could do more to help.

I'm sending mental shin kicks to your co-worker.

Only because those were on the web. I'm still working on posting a photograph.

Thanks, dude! It's just nice to vent, which I can't really do at work. She just seems to have a built-in radar for times that I want to take off. Her events always seem to trump mine. Or maybe I'm just too nice. I almost went off on her after the weekend I missed my reunion. I had worked all weekend because of trying to fix a mess that she left, and she came in on Monday complaining because she had spent 10 hrs in the car the day before. I smiled and gritted my teeth.

Thanks, Tilly! I'm really going to have to laugh if she says anything tomorrow about her leg hurting...

Yeah...you're a better person than I. No doubt I'd have cussed her out by now.

She's also getting some from the Kansas side. Hopefully, both legs will be hurting in the morning.

I can tell that it's time for a vacation because it's getting more difficult to keep from going off on her.

Yes - it worked. This is Buttermilk Falls. My dad would ride his bike here as a kid. It is located outside LeRoy, NY.

LeRoy, NY is the birthplace of Jello.

That's awesome DinK. I've never heard of the falls, they look amazing.

Apparently, there are several Buttermilk Falls in NY. The Buttermilk Falls near Ithaca is more well known. These are not part of a state/national park. They are just out in the countryside near my Dad's home town. Kids go out here for parties but do a great job of keeping the area clean. I was amazed that there wasn't more trash.

It's a great place, then! Love me some jello when I'm sick. Other times, too, of course.

How 'bout a big shout-out to our man Greg Paulus, starting QB for Syracuse?

Indeed...but we've already got a nice discussion of that news going over in The Stadium.

And I'm sure most members haven't created 10 topics...

I'm pretty sure I've only started 2 or 3...
