~Better Print?~

The other day I wrote in bigger print like this..do you

find it easier to read? No one has said anything so I

am curious...I can see it better, but then I'm blind in

one eye so don't go by me :-) Penny came today and

we are all squeaky clean. Lucky woman got her tax

stimulus check..I should get mine next month.. I hope

I do anyway.. She got 900 cuz of her 2 grands she

takes care of.. I told her to hide it from Eddie :-) I cant

wait to get mine, I don't think my check book will know

how to act being WAY in the plus.. That's something I

have NEVER done, hang paper as they call writing a

bad check...

I used to work for EDS, owned at one time by Ross Pierot,

I think hes sold it.. I worked for them when I lived in Green

Bay, one of the best places ive lived. EDS is a company

that really takes care of its employees and you are paid

well to do a good job. Where I worked was a bank clearing

house. We handled all the banks in Upper Michigan as

well as northern Wisconsin. They were delivered by courier

and once we got them we had 4 hours to get them back out

the door and back to the banks. At one time this process

took days, now with such advanced computers its done in

hours. Before if you wrote a check you could figure 3 days

till it clears and goes thru your account.. NOT SO!! You

have over night...

The pace at EDS was so fast that I stayed on my feet the

whole time.. we got these big trays of checks that we had

to make sure all were facing the same way and they were

not damaged or it could mess up the computer when they

were fed thru them.. If there was a mistake the girls that

did all the checking when the computer threw out the bad

checks it was their job to find them.. then we had to put

them all back into bags and send back to the bank.. All

the info for the checks is put on the micro fische, you can

look up checks back to when you first opened your

account.Many don't know that.. They tell you it will take

days to find out anything if you need copies of back

checks.. NOT true..when they hang up that phone they

go to where they keep the films, find it..put in the machine,

make a copy and its just that fast.. That was what we did

too if someone needed a copy of a check...

While I worked there, was when I REALLY realized I had a

problem with feet and my legs.. The doctor I went to told me

I had arthritis in my feet and that with in 10 years I would not

be able to walk and be in a wheel chair.. this was in 92..In

20001 I was in a wheel chair..but I didn't have that arthritis..

She was right but for the wrong reason... I know how bad

my feet would hurt..turn white and just throb.. If I stayed

on them and didn't sit I was ok..but if I sat and relaxed

them THEN got up they hurt so bad I would almost cry. I

would go for a cigarette break or coffee, I worked nights..

9pm to 4 am...when I would get up to walk back to the

work area I hurt bad.. Then the pain graduated to my calf

and when I would walk, if I went too far the ache would

start, by the time I made it to sitting down I was almost in

tears.. Was NOT a good time..what was bad was that

even all the times my legs were bypassed..each one

at least 3 or 4 times...it didn't help ..well you see.. I don't

have any legs! :-)

Anyway I have NEVER written a bad check, was interesting

to work for EDS just as interesting as when I worked for

AT & T telephone company in Houston.. THAT was

interesting .. and I learned EVERYTHING I could and

lately that's come in very handy with some of the calls I

have to make..Speaking of which, I have NOT heard

from BigDaddy Ken..that upsets me that he cannot return

a phone call.. so.. I will give him a call later today,AGAIN.

Well I have a wonderful GREEN ICEE from DQ and I

will honestly admit I AM addicted to them..If DQ EVER

stops them I bet I will surely cry..They really are the only

thing that quenches my thirst..When I eat salty stuff which

I try to avoid,I find I just cant drink enough to stop the

thirsties.. but a Icee? try it.. It WILL satisfy a thirst.. Good

stuff for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-) Now Its that time

again to tell ya "Nitey Nite"

Y'all have a good one now,Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend"

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

until I write again .....
