A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

[Luvchefmic]

Hahahaha, I love your snake story! I also know exactly how you felt, I found a coral snake in my house I don't think my adrenaline has ever gotten that high So funny how you can't take your eye off it, if I hadn't got it I would have had to move out That little rhyme was going through my head the whole time (red on black friend of Jack, nope, not my friend) Scared me to death!

I'm from NY I never heard that rhyme ...glad to see somone else that survived this terrifying right ?? So what can we do to keep them OUT !! and how did you get yours out ??? Please educate me

 

[Deesknee]

Lordy I was NOT brave I cannot emphasize that enough, I was terrified believe me fear does have an odor I found that out today I did not smell pretty what choice did I have...move out, let it live here? Call the fire dept, sheriff, ? they would have laughed at me for sure This is "old boy" country took me first 4 years to be acknowledged even the guy at the feed store is finally addressing me by name I would have set myself back a decade in acceptance If I called my neighbor he would have come over & shot ME for waking him up so early and he would have been calling me more than Yankee while doing so

Lol! Glad that experience is over for you.

Lol! Glad that experience is over for you.

yeah for today..I have a sneaky sickening feeling he is telling all his friends and relatives and I will be entertainment for them I tried to sleep today I REALLY did
kept every dog in the room with me and then kept having to deal with all that body heat...not a good day

 

[Restrasz]

Even looking at the picture of the snake scares me! Yuk!!! I don't even go in the reptile house in the zoo! I think I would have to move and let the snake have the house! But.... You have the dogs and must be brave to save them! You are one brave mom! Certainly not the brave one, Ruth

 

[PrincessInOz]

Well done, Ruthie! Good job on getting that snake out of the house.

Red on black, friend of Jack
Red on yellow, kill a fellow

Well, how I got it out.......... first my cat backed it up into a corner (I was scared to death it was gonna bite the cat). Then, I grabbed one of my daughter's excercise bars and pinned it up against a baseboard. Since I couldn't let go (I was home alone) I grabbed the only thing I could reach, which happened to be an antique ice scoop and beat it to death Sorry, I would have taken it alive, but I wasn't about to try and grab it As to keeping them out, I think it had crawled up in the weather strip under the door and when I opened the door to to into the house I think I pulled him in. So, I put new weather stripping on the bottom of the door - I couldn't see any other way he could have gotten in

Oh I don't feel bad you killed it I was hoping the box of trash bags (heavy) would have done that It was the same scenario with the little rake I used but then nothing was within reach, we sort of "danced" around the room he slithered away a few times I have searched all over the internet and apparently a "snake grabber" kind of thing is expensive and from what I am learning they can fit into a space the size of a pencil I finally gave in and went to bed about 3 in the morning up again at 7:30 this is ridiculous That little poem doesn't describe this one though

Need to forget this its taking over every aspect of my life in the past 24 hrs including this PTR thats crazy

We have one of those snake sticks at school, and they do work, but you still have to get within a few feet of it! Personally I'd rather not get that close

I WAS a few feet from it but thats it done with this !

So in my night of up all night of course I keep checking the dining area of the Disney website, trying desperately for the Christmas ADR The calendar was now up to Dec 23 BUT it was the time for website maintenance I guess so I'll have to go check that NOW to see how far along they are

Well its still only up to Dec 23 but I put in a dinner request & got BOG !! Then realized it is a work night and I will NEVER get it off, not 2 days before Christmas so sad to have to cancel it BUT I will continue to stalk the site maybe I'll get lucky

Feb 23 2014 Run Disney Princess 1/2 marathon
As of today I DO not have a running partner so there goes Team Pluto out the window I keep going between "Oh Well" to getting really upset this is NOT something I would have signed up for on my own had I known this person would "change his mind" Would it have killed this person to say that BEFORE I said I was registering that day ????

After $160. entry fee non-refundable AND about $100 for running shoes, the resort reservation, and other incidentals I guess I can turn the feelings into motivation to train but right now I am disgusted OR maybe I will just cut my losess financially and not get in any deeper

This is twice now this year that I have been hurt by someone BIG time ok vent over don't need a pity party don't even really want to talk about it just needed to let it out and update

I'm sorry this happened to you.

I say go for it any way! Just seeing all the pictures that Ed posted made me want to run it. Problem is I can't run at all due to a messed up ankle.

Don't be sorry this happened to me Ariana be sorry that I am still so damn trusting at this age..I really go through life thinking everyone is going to be nice & the Golden Rule you know ...a real painintheass real life Pollyanna ...its stupid
The guy motivated me I can not do this by myself its over 13 miles I just don't know I do know though that I am not going to think about this any further for at least another month I'm going to focus on Fred coming home and trying to get that damn elusive BOG ADR for Christmas thats my only goal right now

So sorry to hear this. I hate when people don't come through like they commit to. It's terrible and hurts everyone involved.

 

[sewmess]

Oh I was NOT brave I was in "something must be done" mode on the outside and "sniveling little girl crying for Daddy" mode on the inside...must be all those years as an EMT the rational side of the brain kicks in, you fall apart AFTER

Ruthie, that is the definition of brave - doing something even though you are terrified.

I'm sorry that your motivator decided to demotivate instead of doing what he said he'd do. Praying that you stay motivated anyway, meet a wonderful bunch of new friends in the corral and shun that demotivater if he wants to party with you.


ED - Beautiful Pictures, as always. Last September, our last day there, it was foggy in MK, the castle kind of gauzy looking. It was Pretty, and it burned off pretty quickly.

Thank you Alison..If I say I am going to do something I will move heaven and earth to do it so I EXPECT the same..between this guy & the guy who caused the accident on the whole I am disgusted with people in general....keep thinking I forgave the guy and then someone else does something and I am off on another emotional roller coaster...& then the damn snake HIsssss I have had enough since last November frankly anyway enough about it

.did you get my answer about the sausage you asked about ?
I don't even know where I answered it anyway NO I have never seen that brand here in FL if there is something comparable either the grocer should recommend maybe? or Bobbi or I can get something since we'll both be making store runs let me know

 

[Restrasz]

Ok now I know for sure that I am a city girl! The biggest snake here is a garden worm. I don't even like them!


Ruthie: you need to still do hat run! You'll have the biggest cheering section ever! We'll flood the Internet with our love and good wishes!!! Ruth

I know that but I really need to think about this This person made a promise and made me believe I could do this WITH him next to me you understand what I am trying to say.?..it was having someone right beside me the person who got me from not being able to stand up straight to then being able to stand on two feet for more than a few minutes to being able to walk without excrutiating pain and had me believing that the end of the long journey of PT would be the race TOGETHER A Graduation Day of sorts..... I feel like he pulled the rug out from under me

YES I know it was my hard work YES I know it was ME being motivated to get out of the house at 6 am 3xs a week for 3 hr sessions YES I know there is a lot of love & support here Its appreciated but its not what I mean I am trying to wrap my head around why he encouraged this thought to begin with? I don't believe it was some motivation during PT that he didn't mean just to get me through it He runs races its not just some BS he said PLUS I am REALLY ticked off about the money...it just wasn't nice, not something a decent human being would do and I thought he was a decent human being...I just want to not talk about this anymore...OK ?

 

[Deesknee]

Okay. But if you decide you want to "talk" it out email me. We can look at it from all different sides... Or not . For now just a (hug).

Now get back to getting that BoG ADR!

THANKs this whole thing was exhausting me


Thanks for all the support I didn't mean to come across as getting on edge with anyone if it seemed that way Its hard to put feelings across a computer
