Aimee felt left out

Jo and I had too much fun at work yesturday. Friday afternoon, a couple of 40 something guys came in with a couple of women they were flirting a lot with Jo and I. Jo is about 20 years old and pretty cute. They wanted pictures of us that we were happy to comply. They had thier digital cameras' snapping away. Then they wanted pictures of us with them. We asked about the women that they were with and they said , they were just coworkers. so, it was all just fun. Until little Aimee got her feeling hurt. becuz they were not paying any attention to her and they did not ask for her picture. She was starting to get mad that we were having fun. I felt bad for her, and the truth of the matter is that Aimee is short, over weight and not very atractive. But, it mad me sad that there are people in the world that give more attractive people attention. I would hate to think that I would do that. I know that of all the people that come into my bar I do treat everyone the same. I don't like to see people sitting alone. I'll try to make conversation with them and make them feel attended to. And i do try to give Aimee attention, when I see the other servers shunning her. Personality plays an important role in your attractiveness. You can be cute as heck just by letting some sunshine out from your heart. So, Aimee you shine on !

Home Ownership

What's better than owning your own home ? Owning two homes......We our buying another house , just two doors down from ours. We are buying it for our college girls to live in . because it is a better investment for us rather than paying rent some where else for our girls.... As it turns out we our going to be able to pay off a large amount of debt and we will be way ahead financially. Whoo Hoo !!!!~It pays to use existing Equity from your first home ........Gotta love that bigger tax deduction too....
Wish us luck !!

Father Joe, I don't understand ?

Father Joe,
What could possibly make a young man the age of 24 blow his brains out with a shot gun in his own back yard ? I've worked with this young man's mother and Grandmother for some 20 years. I've known him since he was a kid. He was funny and witty and full of life. His suicide came out of know where. No Note, no apparent life problems..... Why then? He had a girlfriend and goals. he left his family totally devastated.
I came home from work today after finding out this dreadful news and held my daughter my only child and cried. She is alive and full of life and a future, I could not bare the thought of losing her. I told her that no matter what happens in her life , she can come to me and talk. With daughters I think it is easier for them to talk about their fears and problems. Son's are more apt to hold back because of being afraid of being weak.
I am truely sad for this family........................
