Dear movers - If you can’t figure out how to reassemble the bed, say so! Don’t fake it and tell me it’s done. My daughter turned over last night and the bed collapsed. Thank goodness she wasn’t hurt because you would have been hearing from our attorney.
Its not easy to see or hear someone crying…
I hope something closer to where you want to live shows up.
Everyone with decision-making powers seems to be camping in the woods with no email access. 
Fine by me.
Three days until we get the puppy!!! It feels like Christmas.
The project that was making me tear my hair out at work and contemplate early retirement … I have finished my part and passed it, with all its attendant angst, on to the NEXT person who has to deal with it. It will circle back to me, but at least I get my Friday free & clear.
Your baby needs to be born on a Sunday this year.
Dad, myself, your brother, his wife, your nephew, you and your husband all have Sunday
birthdays this year. I will never remember if he has a different day of the week plus he will
break our pattern.
Ok, we are driving him to see the cardiologist. If all that happens is he’s asked and says he’s fine and taking his meds, it will be a very short visit. I have no questions nor info from anyone on anything that has changed or any Qs that need to be asked so we will merely be drivers and observers. I have asked repeatedly what has changed in symptoms or Qs anyone has and get ZERO! OK.
D agreed to have her baby on a Sunday! =))
Over the past 8 years, I complained to 3 doctors, 2 physiotherapists and 1 medical student that I couldn’t move my foot properly after an accident. The doctors and 1 physiotherapist did nothing. 1 physiotherapist said I should use more supportive footwear. The med student said I should exercise more. A couple of weeks ago, I massaged my foot with the heel of my other foot and popped my big toe into joint. I am miraculously cured and can walk properly again and am no longer in constant pain.
I am tired of not being taken seriously by the medical establishment. Just because someone is overweight doesn’t mean that their complaints are caused by their weight. Maybe their weight is caused by not being able to move properly!
I have not had to deal with my abusive and toxic ex in three weeks. I have exercised daily, gotten back into shape, my skin has cleared up, my back no longer hurts, and I feel like my old pre-marriage self again. Now - how do I keep this going when he’s back in my life for “co-parenting” purposes? Must find a way to be true to myself, be the best mom I can be to my kids, AND put up firm personal boundaries so the arrogant ass and his too-young girlfriend-of-the-month don’t affect my health anymore.
Ugh, my avatar managed to break through the invisible fence twice in the last two days. The installer said he’d had to refund someone’s money only once in 17 years. We may be #2. 
Wow, I am jealous of this school! I would be heart broken if I am not accepted…
Grr! DS has about 60% A+. the rest As, 1 B+. 5/7 classes IB or AP so he gets a bump. With these amazing grades, he is ranked 44/375, so he is officially out of top 10% which dings him for merit $ from schools he is interested in. I know these are first world problems, but it’s crazy the grades these kids get!
Monday, August 6 has been looming all year. Although I keep reminding myself you are having this procedure as a precautionary measure, I am still a wreck. I just want to hear that all is fine. That they do not find anything else. Prayers, positive vibes, healthy karma, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
Just wrote a check for 35k for the first installment for d to attend the school of her dreams. And the attitude and lack of appreciation for what it took to save for this over the years. Everything I say is aggravating. Not every dad is the dunce you see on all the tv comedies. How about a smile or a little happiness about anything outside of your friend group. It’s your family that has supported you every turn. Hopefully it changes over time. Planning the graduation party for tomorrow has been a joyless exercise and I was hoping this would be a more joyful time for all of us.
The parents on cc can be very kind when you are feeling down.
Every time I hear on the news that he is going to Bedminster, I just think to myself, “Why, oh why. You are ruining the neighborhood.”
So you do watch CNN? 
Oh dear, now the elder has to be watched vigilantly or will slip away from a party unnoticed and start walking “home.”
He fell and was seen by the bus driver who called emergency who sent ambulance and police. They were kind but he gave them phone numbers of landlines while everyone was at the party so of course no one answered.
He was treated for scratches and released to family who arrived after another family member happened to see him and sounded an alert.
Yes, he’s always wanted to do things on his own terms and be free to come and go as he likes, but now he’s not capable of safely doing so but in his own mind he thinks he DOES have free agency.
