I hate baths.

With a purple passion.

He can take my share of baths! I hope it helps!biggrin

  Oh my goodness  I love a good bubble  bath  with Frank Sinatra  playing  softly, candles,a good book and a glass of wine.

 I do have to say the bubble soap from Bath and Body is to die for.

I never liked sitting in a bath. I always wanted to take a shower, after I got out of the dirty water.

And, the couple of time I tried it as an adult, (because I'm sure I took baths as a little child) I ended up with a UTI. 

I haven't taken a bath in 30 years. They make me sick.cry

Things to be proud of today:

I did day 1 of my work out plan. It's an 8-week plan my sister loves, so I'm giving it a try. Day 1 was supposed to be last Monday, but with dad in the hospital, that didn't happen. Then it was supposed to be last night, and well, that didn't happen either. Instead of wimping out and waiting another week, I will just shuffle the rest day.

I helped draft a letter to our congressman about the current state of our industry. We are getting hit hard by dumping from some nations and it is killing the US steel industry. Anyhoo, I sent my boss the part I was responsible for and his only comment was "looks good"

 I hope you pounded the EPA in your letter, they are at the root of it I bet.

 They are surprisingly not our biggest problem. There are countries (mainly China) that are purposely driving the cost of our products down. Their government has even devalued their currency to make the US dollar stronger and encourage the purchase of their material over ours. It is against US trade laws and we are asking our congressman to lobby on our behalf to stop the unfair importation. 

 And this is quickly coming to an end.  Your company just needs to find financing to keep them going.  China's economy is collapsing due to them devaluing their currency and not adhering to safe production.

 We are doing ok.  We would just be doing a whole heck of a lot better if everyone was playing fair.

as an example, last year (based off of 2014) I got a 5-figure bonus. This year (based on 2015) I get to keep my job.

Wow, DG, I'm glad you still have a job!

Yeah, the Chinese dumping is hurting the world economy, IMHO.

 It really is. I read an article a few weeks ago that the majority of Chinese businesses can't afford the interest payments on the loans the government gave them. So the businesses are taking out loans to pay the interest on loans they can't pay confuse
