Update mega church: The Church directly across from our synagogue lets us use their parking lot for this event. Now that’s neighborly.
Regular - $3.19/gallon. Complementary Supercharger fill - $0. Not needing to handle the icky gas pump - priceless.
Oh, child. You’re your own worst enemy.
The jealousy is ridiculous
I’m so glad you like your new apartment and are feeling positive about this change. I know it’s hard not to be living with your close friends for the first time in years but maybe this change will be better than you thought. I know you have many wonderful memories of fun times in your old place but that the last six months have been really hard. You were there for your friend and his family when they needed you. Watching the McCain ceremonies has brought it all back to me. No one should have to watch a loved one fight that cancer but especially not a childhood friend who didn’t even make it to 25. My heart breaks for you and I just hope this year gets better and you can start healing and taking care of you. And your old friends are still close by to lean on when you need them. And so are we!
No good deed goes unpunished. I must remember this BEFORE the next time I let H talk me into helping someone out…
Ahhh Hurricane Gordon… slow down a little so I can get out of here at 2 PM tomorrow! (and don’t knock over that dead palm tree please)
I really am tired of telling you that I need help with something 5 times and getting some answer that makes no sense. Then you finally walk over and do the fix in 20 seconds. It is annoying.
I do realize you are just messing with me but, you know- 2 can play this game. Bring it.
To whoever called 911 after DH blew the front tire on his bike and crashed into a ditch: Thank you. He’s going to be ok.
When is a reply of “LOL” or “gag me” or other ridicule to a sincere question/suggestion ever appropriate? We are adults here, correct?
Time to buy some Nike stuff… B-)
I’m not even mad because I’m so used to it. I know I’m the daughter so I get the caregiving duties but you shouldn’t need a personal invitation to come help your mother in the hospital. She doesn’t want your girlfriend to send flowers, she wants you there to help. Our dad can’t do it all himself. I shouldn’t be the only one helping dad.
I may not survive my husband’s upcoming surgery. He’s frightened and I get that. But instead of vocalizing that he verbally attacks me and constantly does things to provoke an argument because anger is more comfortable for him than fear.
The fact that he’s unemployed and I am stuck doing even more overtime doesn’t help - I’m “never there for him”.
So since I’m accused anyway I am being a bad wife. I’ve scheduled a cheap vacation to my favorite mountain retreat two weeks post op. While he screams at me I plan it out in my head.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: The answer is “never” and such posts should be reported.
…or not…
Burning and destroying stuff because someone told you it is now related to something you have been told you should be against, is as stupid as looting and destroying your own neighborhood to prove a point to someone in another neighborhood. People are funny creatures.
4 hour delays in flight…arrived at home at 3:20 AM when it should have been 12
Who p***ed in your cornflakes this morning? You are way out of line
A bit sad just now—Claire Wineland—a vibrant young woman I heard give an inspirational keynote on living with a chronic disease (hers is cystic fibrosis) died a week after receiving a double-lung transplant at age 21. There’s a Wikipedia entry about her and what she accomplished in her too brief life.
She was funny, insightful, young, vibrant and happy to be alive. It’s tough that lung transplants cause so many complications and mortality is so high for those who are able to get them (very limited supply—you have to be healthy enough to survive but sick enough that you will be chosen off the very long list of folks waiting).
