I’m not sure I want you to get this job offer.
Oh there was a “Brock” in Colorado? Hmmm… that explains…
So when we watch several people (including the ones we are with) politely tell you that where you are standing is blocking the view of many behind you who are all sitting in low lawn chairs per the venue’s policy, and ask if you might be mindful of that, the correct response is not “no we weren’t planning to consider that”.
Reminder that what someone chooses to wear means nothing other than the fact that that is what they put on.
Clothes cannot consent. Period.
No integrity. Finally get the correct description.
My spices won’t grind and my wood furniture is swollen and spongy. Go away, humidity.
Incredibly happy to see that med missions lad made it out of Tokyo prior to the typhoon! Now he’ll have a chance to see Grandma and still rest up a few days prior to heading back to med school.
Their team of 38 (volunteers through nurses/doctors - medical, dental, and vision) saw over 4200 patients in the 5 days of clinic (in the Philippines). They were expecting 2500. So much need… I’m glad so many donate their money and time to make such trips possible, though I still wish medical care were accessible so such trips weren’t needed. I can’t help but wonder what follow up care is like (or if it’s totally non-existent). They were working through a local clinic, so hopefully there is something.
Just a short while longer and I’ll be done with this horrible town forever. Many years have come and gone and I’m as much of an outsider as the day I moved here. The close mindedness and judgemental spirit of small towns is alive and well here and I can’t wait to drive away and never look back. When my young teenage daughter went in a different direction to better her path through life, you spoke behind her back, cut us out of your lives and taught/allowed your children to treat her like a leper. We will both leave this town stronger for the hell you’ve put us through and thank you for showing her exactly who she doesn’t ever want to become.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Pop-up ads for athletic wear popping up in the middle of this CC thread? No, no, no. This is not ok… I somehow thought this forum was a safe haven from obnoxious ads. If this continues, I’m outta here. I don’t come here to be annoyed by ads.
Please don’t make me change the rehearsal dinner venue because you can’t possibly fit a conversation with me into your very busy schedule. Not everyone can take your calls at your specified time while we are on the clock at a new job. Stop acting like you are doing me a big favor by allowing me to use your venue…I’ll pay you the cost as estimated but you’re gonna have to work with me on this five minute call you are so desperate to have with me that you expect I’ll drop everything in the middle of a work day to accommodate your schedule.
So glad the two of you got off the hiking trail safely. Can’t wait to hear about trip but this has been a stressful week with the two of you off the grid.
I wish I could pretend to be happy about your plans. I just don’t feel good about this. It makes me sad.
Spent all day Saturday running errands and buying groceries and all day Sunday cleaning house, doing laundry, and bathing the dog. Poof! There goes the weekend!
My son achieved his goal—by his 27th birthday (this week) he is debt free. No student loans, no car payments, and no medical bills. Hooray! <:-P
Something definitely feels up, but, oddly, you don’t want to talk about it so we won’t. I hope everything’s OK.
Oh, good grief. I returned recalled Goldfish to Target yesterday. The price was $1.99 & the cashier hands me $2.00. Today I see a charge for 1 penny on my credit card. Really? 1 penny?
Wow, sometimes people blow me away, in a good sense! Our accountant missed a deduction we should have been claiming for our business since 2005. He was able to amend our tax returns back through 2014 so we got those refunds, and then told me he wanted to make good himself for the rest of the years. It took him a few months, but today he is putting a check in the mail to us for a significant chunk of change (more than half the cost of tuition for a semester!). He asked if we would be willing to waive his paying interest on the amount, and I said of course! The best part is we don’t have to pay taxes on this reimbursement. I can’t believe he’s doing this.
My husband and I decided to use some money from a good investment to take our teen children to Europe for two weeks next summer. We will hit some ancestorial spots. They won’t know until christmas, and this is not the kind of trip we normally take – more of a once in a lifetime (or once in a childhood) trip. So excited, planning for weeks, bought plane tix, getting airbnb’s in place.
Now, I just have to tell work. I have beloved one coworker in my very small office I am worried will be irked. She always seems to get upset and hold a grudge after I book a trip without clearing it with her first (that is not something that is required). This week i will tell her. This week. I promise myself. Then I can relax and maybe take up Babbel to work on my french.
Also I feel very motivated to get into better shape…I know how difficult/tiring walking those old cities can be.
I’m too old to start over. But it looks like I’ll have to.
Today was * one of those days * My youngest is driving me crazy. She is 21 and I feel like she has regressed to her 12 year old self. I would love to think that when she goes back to school for her senior year that things will calm down , but I know with no uncertainty that this is not the case. I am so frustrated !!
