Metro New Orleans DISers - check in!!! - Part II

[Ms Marigny]

She's not going to give up, I know her too well. I just pray that Kyle uses his brain because I don't think I could ever have her in my house again. I sound terrible saying that, don't I.

Heck no, you don't sound terrible saying that! I would have problems with her too- she sounds a bit stalkerish and a tad too manipulative. Kyle can do wayyyy better than that!

 

[TigerKat]

Thanks for saying that Lorie, I've been feeling bad about disliking her as much as I do now. There's some new ammunition she threw at him last night - her parents are divorcing. I thought it might not be true but I found out today that it is.

No you do not...I would feel the same way.

Hey ya'll- I'm really having a rotten day. Big ol' vent ahead-

The NOPD called DH (after not calling for a month now ) and said they were closing the hit-and-run case due to "insufficient information". Even with a name and license plate number. What, do they need a blood and urine sample too? The officer said even with the info we gave them, that they can't find any info on the guy or do anything. That is complete bull because I found a ton of info on the guy (including with his many convictions) by just looking in the St Bernard Clerk of Court records online, which is public record. Heck, we even got a cell phone number on him, which we offered to the police and they turned down because they said that was useless.

DH then asked the officer if our daughter had been in the car and had been killed in the accident, this guy would just go free? The officer became angry when DH asked him that and said we didn't have enough on him and there was nothing else we could do, case closed. Grrrrrrr..... it makes me furious that this guy broke the law, injured DH, cost us a running bill of $12,000 so far (costing me a Disney trip!), and this guy is just going to go completely free. Makes me want to just throw up.

Sorry, I just had to vent.

This is totally crazy...it seems the good guys never win anymore. I am glad your hubbie was able to vent his fustration out now why don't you go punch a pillow.

Yeah I saw the construction going on...this will be a total mess! Terry Parkway is always busy and I have to pass this way to get DD to and from school. Ugh!

 

[shovan]

Kathy, You haven't heard some of the horrible things I said about DD's former boyfriends! Like they make great speedbumps! Yeah don't make this Momma mad!


Lorie, Glad y'all were planning to toss they computer desk! Sounds like today calls for a tasty cocktails for you two tonight!

 

[Ms Marigny]

Yes indeeed, I do need a drink!

Speaking of which- calling all lushes, calling all lushes! Cork & Bottle in the American Can Company is having a 3 for $10 sale on certain wines. It's not high end stuff, but it ain't Ripple either. Can't beat that deal with a stick! DH went and loaded up this afternoon.

Kathy- Well, the divorce situation does complicate things and does throw sympathy in her favor. BUT, it doesn't excuse the way she has been acting all along- Kyle should remember that. If he gets back with her now, then he's gonna have to deal with all of the divorce drama too.

 

[arminnie]

Abi's really pulling out the big guns. She keeps telling him that no one knows him the way she does and she keeps reminding him of all the "little things" that couples do, you know little signals that only each one knows.

Oh my gosh - I almost married a guy who did that to me. I broke up with him so many times before I finally made it stick. He STILL calls me - we are talking decades later.

Lorie - I am so sorry about the car and how awful the police were.

Here's something else very stupid I did over Mardi Gras (besides losing my keys) - I had a 20 pound bag of ice that needed to be broken up. So I throw it in the floor to break it up. I slightly miscalculated and hit my toe! I just knew it was broken - but it only hit the very, very tip on one side. It hurt a lot that night but was was okay (purple - just needed a little green and gold to go with it) the next day.

We talked a bit when he got in from baseball this evening and while I think he is feeling sorry for her, he says he's over her and the more he hangs out with other girls (as friends) he sees how immature she is. I can only pray that he keeps thinking this way. If you guys have an extra prayer or thought to spare please send it his way or maybe I should say our way.

Will do!

Morning.....

 

[TigerKat]

Morning NOLA!

 

[shovan]

Hey Y'all,

I could really use some prayers. I am feeling like total crapola. Ate some soup last night, was fine but had a headache. Woke up this morning with an awful headache, thought I'd try to eat something so I could take some meds for the headache & that started up the d. again. And I'm freezing too.

I've got to get over this now! There is just too much to get done for Thursday.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Feel better Sheryl.

Just getting home from buying Valentines gifts for the kids and picking up snacks for their classes. I don't have any big Valentines day plans. Mark and I hate the hassle of waiting in line forever on this day to eat. We usually plan an outing before or after Valentines day. Who's going out this year?

 

[lori1043]

Hi guys!! We are back from our 11.5 day trip!! Longest we have ever been gone. We had so much fun. I think I may do a trip report since we went to eat out a few more places than usual and we did so many new things.

Kathy, I have not read everything about your son's dilemma with Abi, but it sounds like something me and DH went through soooo long ago. I was the one whose parents were divorcing and I was awful clingy to DH(boyfriend at the time)-we were 18. We broke up and I had a hard time getting past it-mostly due to the confidence smoosher your parents getting divorced can have on your life. Everything in my life was crumbling. Parents marriage -gone, home I grew up in- gone, me and 2 year BF-gone. He handled things poorly too-and we finally had NO contact for about 6-8 months and it was SO good for both of us. I learned to build my own confidence(although it is still a weak area for me) and he gew up a bit too.

I feel for both of them. Prayers your way...

Welcome back, we missed you! If you do a trip or dining report, please let us know. Thanks for the prayers for the kids.

 

[Ms Marigny]

Sheryl- My goodness, poor you! I really hope you're feeling better soon.

Just getting home from buying Valentines gifts for the kids and picking up snacks for their classes. I don't have any big Valentines day plans. Mark and I hate the hassle of waiting in line forever on this day to eat. We usually plan an outing before or after Valentines day. Who's going out this year?

DH is working Valentines day evening, so no plans here. We usually don't go out that evening either for the same reason- I hate waiting forever for a table! So we usually go out a few days after. I'll be having dinner Valentines night with the other man in my life, Louie the cockatiel. DH better watch out, Louie can sing some sweet songs in my ear!

Welcome back! So glad you had a good trip! I'm looking forward to your trip report. And I swear, we have very similar stories.... my longtime HS boyfriend broke up with me in the midst of my parent's divorce when I was 18. Your description of it fits perfectly, except we never got back together. He moved on and married a girl who I'm told looks exactly like me... And I kind of went wild after the breakup and dated a lot of guys, learning that sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you meet the prince. At the time, I was just heartbroken that he broke it off, but it hindsight it was a good thing because I had LOTS of growing up to do. We were talking about marriage and everything, but that would've never worked out with all of the drama and emotional baggage I was dealing with at the time.

 

[shovan]

Lori, WELCOME HOME!!! Glad to hear you had a great trip! Can't wait to hear more about it.

We haven't gone out on Valentine's Day for a few years, just too crowded and a hassle. I usually cook a nice dinner. This year we'll probably be having fancy dining at Cracker Barrel! We'll leave Thurs. and stay over in Lake City that night. So we'll celebrate Valentine's Day with my Mom at Cracker Barrel! Friday we will be eating at Raglan Road and on Monday we have Jiko. So I know I'm not allowed to complain!

Lorie, Lori, & Kathy,

It's funny how things eventually work out for the best. It just that when you're a teenager it feels like your world has come to an end.

Kathy, I feel bad for Abi, that she is having to go through her parent's divorce. But really hope that Kyle doesn't decide to get back together with her just because he feels bad for her. They are both so young & having a lot of life ahead to find out about. It's just that you can't make them realize all of that now.

 

[TigerKat]

I failed to mention one thing....this is Abi's mother's third divorce and she's only 32. Abi hated her step-dad and is quite happy about it. I'm sounding ugly now.

 

[LouDisney]

Hey you guys!! I hope you are all safe. I just saw on Nola.com that you guys are having or had bad weather. We are supposed to get some storms tonight as well.

Sheryl...prayers for you, I hope you feel better soon. The flu is going around big time here in AL.

Lori...welcome back. I am so glad you had a great trip.

Oh stop, you don't sound ugly-

Just like Clairee in Steel Magnolias said "If you don't have anything good to say, come sit by me!". I'm so bad.

Third divorce at 32! That's just scary- I'm 32! I can't even imagine that. Not only that, but she's got a 16 yo daughter. I REALLY can't imagine that! Poor Abi though- she probably has been through a lot.

You are too funny!!!! It really is a miracle that Abi is still a good girl after everything she's been through. I'm just afraid she's hanging with a bad group, from what Kyle has heard, and she could be headed in the wrong direction.
