I can’t believe I lost my engagement ring. How did I not notice it slip off my finger? Maybe because I’ve been overworked, tired, stressed and totally preoccupied? I know it’s just an object, but I’m aggravated at myself and sad.
I wish I had $20,000 to buy a used car and the resulting increased insurance to replace our car in which the tranmission has died. We are so stuck. Working more for less and other problems. At least there is air conditioning at work (unlike in our old car). Sigh. What to do? We both get moonlighting jobs in the weekends?
I am so proud that I could just burst.
Please offer her the job…
Also , please pay the other what she is worth and not what you pay entry level new hires with far less experience and responsibility
You got a dog!!! That’s going to help with the job hunt and finishing your thesis this month…NOT!
Be careful what you wish for.
She hasn’t seen you since you were 2! Seeing the 3 of you together is still making me smile.
When we grow old and infirm we should all be as lucky as my dad. My mom has been unbelievable, not leaving his side except to go home and sleep, and advocating for him nonstop with the doctors and nurses. The level of care and attention that my mother is showing to my father would be hard for anyone to live up to! Also the affection, my sister and I agreed we have never seen them so physically affectionate as they are now, holding hands while my mom sits next to the hospital bed, and often hugging and kissing. Amidst the sadness, that is heartwarming.
Facebook friends, I am unfollowing you because I don’t want to be bombarded with all your political posts. Surely you must have something more exciting going on in your lives.
I finally find you a new apartment that is in the right place, for the right price, bright and airy, with no nasty old carpeting and you complain? You want it to be pet friendly, have laundry in the unit and have stairs, and that is all you care about? You want a damn unicorn! And stairs???
Seriously kid, we are so lucky that you have this option available. The town doesn’t have enough affordable rentals, most people don’t rent to students, and you always end up with other renters calling just before you and getting the apartment instead. Shove your stairs and take this apartment.
This isn’t a crisis, but I’m still so sad. I was really looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I feel like we have so much to talk about. But it can wait another week. And I’m glad you got the travel voucher so you can fly home for free at Christmas.
Working on Saturday really sucks.
Sad commentary on modern life that my next door neighbor died suddenly at age 46 (out of town) and I didn’t even know it for 4 days. They kept to themselves and he worked out of town, but still…
My heart is breaking for your daughter who has worked so hard to get into her dream school but may not be able to attend. Why would you let her register , attend an orientation event including an overnight visit when financing was not solid? Finding out that you will still owe 17,000 dollars which is due in 2 weeks with no funding in place was not the most realistic plan. Hoping beyond hope that something comes through for her.
I don’t care who unfriends me; I cannot remain silent.
I carefully research airfare and book a flight a couple of months ago for fall thinking it was a good deal and then… Brexit maybe? The cruel spin of Fortuna’s wheel? The demons of airlines laughing at me for not buying SW like I usually do? Not that I could have flown SW to Rome…but,
So a daughter may be joining us and easily found a rate today for the same dates that is hmmmm, much less than half the price. I’m happy for her, but that happiness is buried under a mass of soggy leaves filled with my own drippy remorse.
Please be consistent. Mixed messages can lead to confusion.
Trying really hard to stay quiet and let this work its way out but I really think it would be best for DS and GF to say their goodbyes in our hometown rather than on campus. It will be emotional enough for DH and I without adding any additional drama to it!!
I won’t undo my ad blocker to read one of your posted articles.
I wish I knew Joe to handle my kiddo who just graduated with a very expensive (to me) degree and seems to have no interest in finding a job. Or maybe he does have a plan, but just won’t share it. Again, I wish I knew.
