Happy Holidays !


Does Everyone Have Their Tree Up ?


A Few Christmas Quotes . . .

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.- Mary Ellen Chase

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.- Norman Vincent Peale

Christmas is the one time of year when people of all religions come together to worship Jesus Christ.- Bart Simpson

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.- Richard Lamm

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.- Agnes M. Pharo

Christmas, in its final essence, is for grown people who have forgotten what children know. Christmas is for whoever is old enough to have denied the unquenchable spirit of man.- Margaret Cousins

From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.- Emily Matthews

Daily Thought . . . .


NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON!

This could save your life!

I wonder how many people know about this ~

A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore, Texas , she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.

The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry. The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only> >one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.

NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.


Verified by Snopes.com this is a valid issue.

Message from Sylvia - Store Ops

The time has come to say farewell to my family at Value City on December 12th. It has been a pleasure working with everyone, having had the opportunity to meet with many people it is clear that Value City is a close knit family, it is very difficult to say goodbye.

When I think of my 33 years at Value City, my memories will be of all the outstanding hard working people. I cannot express enough what this has meant to me.

I will miss you and the company and wish everyone the best in their personal and professional endeavors.

“Life is about cherishing the past, facing the present, and moving ahead towards new milestones”.

Happy Holidays!

Take care and G-d Bless,

Sylvia

Useful Websites for Ohioans

I have posted a few links that are useful for unemployed Ohioans. These were given to me at a REQUIRED orientations I had to attend at the Job and Family Services this week. You are REQUIRED to show up or they will not pay you for that week of unemployment. This is also can be listed as one of the two mini mun contacts on your log sheet that you must keep weekly.

After the initial orientation you then are REQUIRED to attend a scheduled one on one meeting with a counsel who will asst you on areas you would like more info on. This meeting can also be listed as one of the two minimum contacts on your log sheet that you must keep weekly
For example:
  • Grant $ for educational needs
  • Housing Needs
  • Workshops / Careen Events
  • Resource Areas
  • Additional Job Training

And so much more!

Everyone receiving unemployment pay will receive a letter REQUIRING you to attend.

I will post more of the info once I am able to read all thru it.

Good Luck and I hope these links are helpful!

Pssss.. One the day of my orientation there were at least 10 other fellow associates from the warehouse here in Columbus there on the same day. We joked about it being like a family reunion. Everyone had a positive attitude and is doing well :)

Daily Poem

EARLY WINTER IN CHRISTMAS

How beautiful is an early winter!
Filled with shimmers and colds all seasons
Snowflakes falling all night
How beautiful is an early winter!
Filled with children playing in the snow
And a bright moon positioned in the night sky
How beautiful is an early winter
One with thoughts of families and friends
The early winter of Christmas
