Two Wonderful GW's

[TheOtherMe]

That's great.

Great news Later!

Good to hear that everything is going well.  Could you maybe arrange a job shadow with GW2 so that she could see that working in the trades is just as good as other jobs.

Hi Later. 

Any more updates? Are GW2's health issues resolved? How did the Target interiew go?

Here too, there is a real reluctance amongst young people to go into the trades. But there are other "in-between" options. I think you know that DD (who is LD) is in a vocational hotel management college. There are similar vocational colleges here for the tourism industry, for sales, for real estate, for graphic design. 

DD's university does all the required hours (it's a nationally accredited Bachelors degree, so they have to.) But they do it differently from most of the other schools: they have a six-month "school year", the rest of the year is spent doing long internships. 

Might any of those be an option that GW2 might be interested in? I just wanted to point out that there are options in between traditional universites and the trades.

Sorry debt, I didn't catch this earlier.

GW2's kidney stones have cleared up. Unfortunately she did not get the Target job. She has a bit of ADHD or something and I suspect that makes her look like she has an attitude in the job interviews. Unfortunately she is getting a bit too comfortable lazing around all day and following her BF around between his classes. I'm working to get her signed up to College in the winter semester.

GW1 is doing well. A couple of her marks slipped. She set up telling me by starting with the plan she has to fix that.

Thanks for all your interest and support with the girls ladies.

[mmhmm]

Good news about the kidney stones, later.  Those are painful, so I'm glad her troubles have eased.  She needs to be aware there's a good possibility the problem will return, however. Sorry about her not getting the job.  Hopefully, there's something out there for her.  College will certainly help fill her time!

It's great GW1 has a plan!  Even if she just made it up as an entry point for explanation, it's a plan!  That's a Very Good Thing! 

[TheOtherMe]

Now what happened?  Later appears to be gone?

[Deleted]

I take it you weren't around last week,  TheOtherMe?


ETA: Yes, she left. I'd post a link to the thread explaining the brouhaha, but it has been deleted.

[TheOtherMe]

Would you PM me please and thank you.  I saw Bonny had left, but I didn't know Later left.  Makes me sad.

[Deleted]

Sure.

Bonny hasn't left.  She's just taking a break for a bit.  She's fine and will be back when she can.

Last I saw, her post count was 0.  Glad Bonny will be back and hope some of the others will be also.

[mmhmm]

She's already back, hon.  She's just on hiatus.

Ditto - I didn't realize later left. I'm going to miss the GW updates.

[Tired Tess]

Wench, would you also PM me.  That is such sad news.  Later is such a great poster!  She'll be very missed  ...

[Deleted]

i got later to friend me on facebook... i'm going to beg her to reconsider...

[Deleted]

Hi guys  When oped went to the trouble of tracking me down I felt the love. Thank you.

So anyway, GW2 got a job!!! It's just a Sub place but it is a job!!! And she is taking full time hours. She is still going through her options on schooling. She won't be going this year but we will see what comes along. We talked the other day and she is in no hurray to move out of here. I told her we are in no hurry to have her move either and she joked about her and GW1 still living in my basement when they are 80.

GW1's grades have slipped some. 1 A, 2 B's and a C. When she told me about them she started by telling me about her plan to bring them up. We'll see, but I think she is really going to try. She broke up with the BF because even though he is a nice enough guy, his grades aren't that good and he doesn't have much drive. Even if she is only blowing smoke up my butt, she knows the right things to say to do it!

[taz157]

later - Thank you for the update.  I do love to read about them!    Great news on the job for GW2!  I'm glad to hear that GW1 had a plan and good for her to see the lack of drive in her XBF.

As a personal note, you are missed; however, I do understand your reasoning. 

[TheOtherMe]

later, I am happy you are back!  I hope things work out so you can stay.  

Glad to hear GW2 has a job and GW1 broke up with a guy for good reasons.  I so love to hear about those to GWs.

[Peace77]

I'm glad you're back too.   

[Waffle]

Welcome back, Later!

[Deleted]

I'm pretty sure she got banned as soon as she came back?  I'm really confused and feel like I must have missed a lot last week 

[Deleted]

Sad.

why do you think that?

[Wisconsin Beth]

I'm confused.  I want later back.  For that matter, I want Miss R back.  I even want TT and Doxie back. 

[chiver78]

later is not banned, and doxie posted a few days ago. can't speak for TT.

I would to see missrigby back too, Beth.

[Deleted]

I think that because I had completely missed what led to later leaving in the first place. I didn't realize she had till the thread about Bonny leaving. I guess whatever thread triggered it is gone?

When I asked her to come back, I thought she had left because of her own decision. But maybe it was due to a ban threat,  

Mostly I just feel like maybe I'm witnessing the beginning of the end of this space, and that makes me a little sad...

[chiver78]

oped, later was not banned. she left on her own. if she's telling you anything different, then she is spinning something. when posters delete their account, their username doesn't show up as a link anymore - as is shown on this thread in the OP. moderators can only disable accounts, but you would still be able to link to the user profile.

[Deleted]

That is her original chiver. In post 109 she came back as a new member. The name is active, although it says zero posts... 

Like I said, I'm confused. I don't like not knowing who to trust, or wondering if just asking about this might get me in trouble as well..

[chiver78]

I'm not sure why it shows zero posts, but I have heard about some quirks and glitches from PB's side lately. I haven't been around much the past few weeks though, can't say I've experienced any myself.

as far as asking, asking alone isn't going to get anyone in trouble. it's the continuous pot-stirring that doesn't help anything and just riles people up. to be clear, I wouldn't call your comments in here "pot-stirring" by any stretch. if you have a question about what's going on, shoot any of us a PM. if I don't have the answer, I'll find out and let you know what I can.
