LA FAMILIA: WHO & WHAT WE ARE.

[DUNE DUMMY 29]

OOPS. I FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. YOU HAVE TO GET A HUG & A KISS FROM CISCO. THEN YOU ARE OFFICIAL.

 

[FBT]

I love the kiss and hugs, but you also have to Ride with us

I think we can handle it!
We do some killer slo-smoke BBQ Tri-Tip in a barrell, I'll hafta drag the smoker along, too.
We will have to figure out how to make a trip south one of these days...and if folks ramble up north...let me know!

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. NOR CAL, OVER TO COLORADO TO SEE CRAIG & I WOULD LOVE FOR LA FAMILIA TO GO TO ARKANSAS TO CHECK IT OUT. WE MAY BE MOVING THERE IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO.

No No you can not go ;-)

 

[DUNE DUMMY 29]

WHAT? Tell us its not true!

BAD ECONOMY, WIFE LOST HER JOB & WE ARE REAL CLOSE TO LOSING OUR HOUSE. MY BROTHER & MOM LIVE IN ARKANSAS, SO WE HAVE A PLACE TO GO. THEY EVEN HAVE ROOM FOR OUR TRAILER & TOYS. MOSTLY PRIVATE PROPERTY RIDES IN ARKANSAS.

Are you serious DD?

 

[DUNE DUMMY 29]

Are you serious DD?

I AM SERIOUS. I AM OKAY WITH EVERYTHING. THE REASON JENNE LOST HER JOB IS BECAUSE SHE WENT WITH ME TO VISIT MY MOM WHEN SHE HAD A STROKE. MY MOM IS BETTER SO IT WAS WORTH IT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER & MY BROTHER. ARKANSAS IS NICE BUT THERE ARE NO DESERTS. LOTS OF MOUNTAINS & TREES.

THANKS DANIEL. WE WILL BE FINE. IF WE HAVE TO. PLAN B IS LIVE IN THE TOYHAULER IF WE HAVE TO. WE PLAN ON DOING THAT WHEN I RETIRE IN 2 YEARS ANYWAY. YES I DO HAVE LOTS OF FAMILY & FRIENDS THAT DO LOVE ME.

 

[brevndeb]

If it was just Debbie and I and no kids I would be living in the toy hauler as well. Cheap living hey during the winter post up at slab city with all of the snow birds, and the summer up in the hills where its cool!

 

[DUNE DUMMY 29]

They can't fire her for that under the "Family leave act" so get a lawyer and have them write a letter so she can get back on!

SHE IS GOING THROUGH THE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES & SHE JUST GOT A LETTER FROM A LAWYER ASKING QUESTIONS THAT SEEM TO FAVOR HER. LIKE DID SHE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ABSENTEEISM & DID THEY KNOW WHERE SHE WAS. NO SHE DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ABSENTEEISM, EXCEPT WHEN SHE HAD TO BABY SIT ME AFTER THE KNEE REPLACEMENT & STENTS. YES THEY KNEW WHERE SHE WAS BECAUSE SHE CALLED THEM ALMOST EVERY DAY WHEN WE WERE BACK THERE. HER CELLPHONE RECORDS REFLECT THAT. SO IT IS WAIT & SEE.

DD far be it from me to butt-in on a job situation, but I have been all the way down that road, had to have multilevel disk replacement and fought my employer for 6 years after dsability retirement was all done to get a settlement, then fought SS Disability for another 3 years before not only winning, but getting an verbal apology from the administrative law judge who heard the case.
We dang near lost our place too.
If an attorney for your wife's employer is asking her questions, then I think she has reached a point where she needs a labor attorney working for her.
When it gets down to the brass tacks, the employer is paying the attorney to screw you guys, and they will pull tricks you would not believe.
It might, IMHO, be in her best interest to pay some attorney a consult fee to find out just exactly where she stands.
I may be paranoid, but t is only because I have been screwed at every turn by people who I wore a badge for...for over 25 years.
Cover yer own arse, cause you don't matter to them. Family Leave Act, ADA, you name it these folks play by their own rules unless and until someone corrects them on it.

LA FAMILIA STARTED IN 2008 WHEN WE MET @ GLAMIS KOA NORTH FOR A BRADSHAW TRAIL RIDE. THE FOUNDING MEMBERS WERE CISCO KID, JIM DREWIT, CRAIG PRUETT & MYSELF. (OF COURSE OUR LOVELY SPOUSES WHO HELP KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER) WE HAD SO MUCH FUN & ENJOYED EACH OTHERS COMPANY SO MUCH WE DECIDED TO DO IT AS OFTEN AS WE COULD. I SAID WE WERE LA FAMILIA & IT STUCK. WE HAVE BEEN RIDING TOGETHER EVER SINCE. WE STARTED ON PSXS AS OUR HOME SITE. THEY RAN US OFF & JOEY WELCOMED US TO THE UNDERGROUND WITH OPEN ARMS & THIS IS HOME.

Hey DD i thought of one more thing to add to your intro,

DD uses caps and the lime green so that he can read it. He is not yelling like some may think but he is getting a little old and can't see at all out of his right eye

Just wanted to clear that up for some people on this new home of ours because caps online usually mean your yelling

Love you baby

 

[ROTAX]

I hope my left eye goes out too when I get old,......so I can wear a PIRATE patch and look mean!!! Aaaarrrgggghhhhh

 

[ROTAX]

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!! AAARRGGG

 

[Cisco Kid]

WHAT!!!

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!! AAARRGGG

OK, now I can't hear or see anymore LOL ;-)

[DUNE DUMMY 29]
