The first one, some young jerk of a coworker, who was seen trying to look down her shirt, made some obscene remarks behind her back to some coworkers and in front of customers. She found out and went to the management who did nothing but make her feel like it was her fault. He didn't even get his hand slapped. She quit because she was too embarrassed to face her coworkers and the customers who heard what he said.

As for what you can do.... would you like to go to Myrtle Beach and attend the graduation? Just kidding. A card would mean so much to her. She knows how much you helped me, and she loves the address labels. Thanks, V, I'll PM her addy.

I sure would if I could and tell her for me that those people know they're wrong and she has nothing to be embarrassed about !! Poor girl. I can't believe the things that happen to women when it comes to chest size. Tell her from one 38DD to another (whatever size she is) that it's what's in her HEAD that counts and those people only make themselves look like the jerks they are. Give her a hug for me will you please ??

[Raja's Mom]

aw, she's so strong to stand up for herself against her former employer! I imagine it's really hard to go through that when she did nothing at all wrong not to mention everything else she's been through!!

I would love to send her a card, will PM you now. Hang in there yourself you must be stressed too with your sweet daughter having to deal with so much. My heart goes out to your family & you know us YT'ers will always be here for support

[red98vett]

Hey Sandy...If you can post her picture I'll make her a few announcement cards with her picture on the front and will add them to my mail ...(you can thank JessyRNB2 for the idea - I just did a few for her)

I already have her card printed and it's ready to roll !!

[RoxyJosMom]

Wow! Super V - faster than a speeding Rummage Sale Queen! I just finished PM'ing you about it and you already have it done. Again, you just proved why you are my Hero . Now all I have to do is figure out how to make the pic work. My flatbed scanner isn't hooked up right and my fax doesn't always cooperate (I'm probably doing it wrong, but I prefer to blame it on the machine ). And THANKS JessyRN2B - Great idea!

She bought Roxy with her own money and I signed her up on YT to learn more about Yorkies. She was a typical teen and didn't have much time for that so she lurked a bit and I am the one that has always been on here. Well, we were living in Myrtle Beach and couldn't afford to live there so we came back "home" (and no, you can never go home). She was in 11th grade in MB, taking college courses, honor student, had a full scholarship to Coastal Carolina and a partial scholarship to any other SC college. She had enough credits to graduate 1 year early. When we moved here, upon registering her at the local high school, we were told that not only would they NOT accept her hs credits they wouldn't let her take a placement test and she would have to start the next year in the 10th grade. So, from graduating 1 year early, with college paid for, she was going to be graduating 2 years late (at the age of 20) with nothing towards college. So she dropped out. She did finally go back to MB earllier this year to finish hs thru adult ed. Upon taking her placement tests, they said she was too high to waste time taking the courses and recommended she just take her GED and go from there. She did and scored in the top 1% of the National Average (including SAT scores) and is being inducted into the National Honor Society at Graduation. She gets to wear a special sash and receive a special award. She worked so hard for this for her Daddy. Now, the problem is, because of when graduation is, only one sister and myself are able to be there for her celebration. She has 2 brothers and another sister who cannot make it. She called me last nite crying her eyes out because she worked so hard and won't have her whole family there to celebrate. She also just got fired from her job because a drunk golfer was trying to take pictures down the front of her shirt and somebody else called security and caused a comotion. She did nothing, but is being accused. It is all on camera, but this is The Hilton, and the customers are always in the right. She is also being refused over $500.00 in wages due her because of this. She is going to an attorney and to the labor board, but this is just compounding her sadness. I am asking, that if anyone is interested in just sending her a congrats. card, it would help lift her spirits. She gets very little mail and I believe she is just beginning her grieving. Ladybugs are our symbol for her Daddy - they have been around us, even in the north in the dead of winter, they were flying around in our house - since we lost him and I know they will be be at Graduation. He would have been so very proud of her.

I just want to ask, if anyone would be interested in sending her a card, it would liven her spirits, especially if it had a ladybug on it. If you are interested, please PM me for her address.

Thank you for reading this and I'm sorry it's so long, but I feel as bad for her as she feels and there is nothing I can do to help.

I would be glad to Pming you now.

Hi All. I just wanted to share something with you to make you all smile. I told you all about the lady who is graduating with Krysten. I just found out, she is 78. It has taken her 8 years and she has earned her 24 credits. Now, she is going to enrolling in college. She has no direction she is going in, she just wants to further her education. THAT brings tears to my eyes. God bless her, watch over her and help her reach her goals. I also wanted to thank everyone for helping me and doing this for Krysten. I know she will be smiling as big a smile as she can after all the support she will be getting from all of you. I can't thank you enough.

now that IS something ! Wow...I'm impressed and good for her. Your daughter is in very good company isn't she ???

I'm going to teach someone basic computer skills and how to photoshop pictures...and guess what - he's NINETY years old !! I have an appointment on Monday and can't wait to get started......gotta love it !!

[JESSY_RN2B]

Most definitely! I graduate the 31st and would LOVE to cheer her up. I am PMing you now

What a strong lady she is. I am proud of her!

[RoxyJosMom]

That's awesome! I could definitely use some of those lessons. Krysten's piano teacher had a couple students who were in their 70's. I am so glad that things are available to retirees and that they are out there using them. We have some retirees working at Lowe's. It's great. They have knowledge to share and best of all, they have some of the best stories to tell.

[Jenn218]

We are sending something her way too!
Do we send it to your address?!
HUGS TO YOU ALL!

[simonandhallie]

Count me in I'll PM you right now!

[RoxyJosMom]

She told me she was going to call the guy that owes her the money today and ask him as professionally as possible, is he going to pay her what he owes her or does she need to go to the Labor Board. That is her next step.

And I want to thank everyone for helping me make her day "All about her". She'll be crying for days when she realizes where all the cards are coming from.

[daisy mae06]

I found the Perfect Card and It will be in the mail tomorrow

[RoxyJosMom]

Thank you, all. I talked to her tonite and she is getting really upset over the sexual harassment thing `and the fact that nobody has even acknowledged the announcements she sent out. She is gonna freak out when all the cards arrive.
