My first post on my own :o)

Well, this is my first time blogging under my own blog. I am excited and will try and not be here too long. Hubby is going to set me up a blog, I suck at the techinical side of computers... I do what I need to on a computer and the rest is up to the hubby. When, is the question for the hubby on when I will get my own site :o) I am here and I can blog that is all that counts. I am not in too big of a hurry :o) I will hopefully have some other people blogging with me. My cousin is back in the states and as soon as I get a chance to talk to her I am going to ask her to blog here and there is one other person that I have asked. So we will see :o)

How awesome is the thought of a male contraceptive?? I am thinking that it is absolutely wonderful. I read about it on MSNBC the other day and was ecstatic! FINALLY something else for the guys! From what I read it will drop a guys sperm count to zero. No more of guys saying that a woman trapped him without him knowing that she was not using some sort of birth control, HE will finally have control of that! No more of the woman having to be the only one that worries about the contraceptive and the mood swings and the weight gain and every other little side effect from whatever contraceptive she is using. It is the guys turn!! Of course I brought this up to the hubby and the first thing out of his mouth was No Thank You.... I asked him why the heck not and he said in return that they have not been testing it long enough and should test it a lot more before offering it. I in turn told him that it was a wonderful idea that they are creating something like this and think that guys should jump at it! What is wrong with the guy taking responsibility for it? I told him that I had tried something fairly new, why can't he?? (I am on the ring) Of course my number one option for the hubby would be the vasectomy.... now if I can just talk him into it!! :o)

Anways, about a week ago my ex-step-mother-in-law called me and told me that she had some mail for me. She said that she had heard that there was a settlement over a company that I used to work for and she thinks that it is a check, can she get my address and send it to me? I told her great, thanks I would appreciate it. So I give her our address and forget all about it... then yesterday comes... We get the mail and there it is.... the check that she had told me about. I am thinking oh, yeah it is probably $2 for some stupid thing. I had no idea about the lawsuit or that I was even a part of it. My hubby opened it and it was an awesome check! I was sooo excited!! I will not say the exact amount, but lets just say that it was a lot more than $2!!! :o) So I went to google and did a search on the company to see what was going on with everything. I had not heard about any of it because I live in MO and everything that is taking place is in OK. So, I find a story about the guy that scammed everyone. Seems he is in quite a bit of trouble. I have to say that I loved the job when I worked there. It was debt collecting, it was an awesome job I loved diong it ( I was a NICE debt collector) He made it awesome for us employees. We only had to pay $1 for health insurance, child care was free for his employees with a daycare right in the same building that we were in, he took the company on trips.... everything was awesome (too good to be true, would be the exact way to put it) And it turns out the guy is a fraud. We all lose our jobs and that was that. I moved on. Did not even know that I was included in the lawsuit against him. Then I get this check... cool :o) I have to say that I do not regret working there. I loved the job and worked for another company doing the same thing. I have been called every name in the book and then some, I have been proposed to, I have been offered trips by guys that owe money... etc etc... people never cease to amaze me :o) Definetely something that I was good at and something that I loved :o) Ok, I think that is it for now :o) I hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!!!
