DonnaK Posted April 9, 2013 Author #1805 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've read that so many times. I think his heart is not in it any more. Could it be that he's rusty and just needs time to get back into the swing of things? It's not a good trait for a CD to not have his heart in it.

mommabean Posted April 13, 2013 #1818 Share Posted April 13, 2013 When Mitch shows " left job at Royal Caribbean International" on his FB page, that isn't to be taken literally. He was only making changes to his profile or "about" page. When he or anyone removes their job from their profile, it is just reported by FB in that way. He didn't quit his job. Have you noticed when a friend decides to update their marital status on their "about" FB page? It instantly states that so and so " got married" even if they've been married for decades. One of my friends recently had friends congratulating her for that reason. I had to laugh knowing how long she's been married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
