Good Morning Nutters
 

Hmm...so that's three of us with "rear end"-related elf names. Anyone else think we should change the thread title to "Mixed ('nuther-name-for-donkey)"?
 
So I'm not at all feeling Christmas this year, but I thought maybe this weekend I'd dig up my grandmother's jeweled Christmas tree pin for my coat. She gave it to me years ago...I think it was her grandmother's before that. I don't wear it much because I'd be devasted if I lost it, but I think she'd like it if I wore it this year.
I think that sounds like a very nice idea Liz.

Everyone did what? Got glowing reviews? I wish that was always true for me.

Everyone assumes they're going to do horribly while everyone around them is sure they'll do fine.
p.s. I'm pretty sure there's something on the Lucky Charms box that clues a person in to the fact that the number of marshmallows doesn't change, just the number of clovers.
p.p.s I didn't know it was possible to have this many Lucky Charms related conversations.

Is it just me or are all of these elf names beyond appropriate?

I just had a run in with the roommates. In keeping with the theme where I live in the coldest apartment ever we are still having thermostat wars. This time I turn the heat on and then they turn it off. It's November in Cincinnati. There were flurries in the air yesterday. It's really cold. It is therefore absurd that the heat wouldn't be on, right? So, I meant to talk to them because the whole silent battle thing is just silly but I never got a chance. Today they put a post it on the thermostat that said "Please don't turn the heat on, it makes our rooms unbearably hot." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I was soooooo mad when I saw that!!!! I AM UNBEARABLY COLD!!!!!!! I knocked (not so polietly on both of their doors) and the words I spoke may have been along the lines of "the hell you're going to tell me not to turn the heat on in November!!!!!!" And they may have been said in a not so nice/screaming tone. :rolleyes1 I really couldn't say. I told them if they turn it off again I'm involving the RA and they can just open their windows if they're hot. They both just stood there with a blank look on their faces. In the 3 years I have lived with these girls I don't think I have ever raised my voice to them. In fact, me raising my voice is a very, very rare occurance. I don't know why I was so mad or why I yelled. I've just had a not so good time lately and that was the last straw I guess. Asking to turn the heat on in November isn't an unreasonable request, is it?

1. Ok, understood now though I didn't reference that any in my post so I had to wonder what you were talking about.
2. Yes, it is clearly marked. I knew that going in. The mad smiley was just to say that they COULD have increased the marshmallows if they really wanted to.
3. Really? What else would college kids talk about? :confused3
4. Again, that was the trend I was seeing on that other thread I mostly lurk on and why I chose not to participate because I am, of course, always appropriate (and angelic too!).
5. No. The window opening seems like a good idea if they are off in their own bedrooms or if they share a bedroom. Couple of other ideas: Can they get a fan? Could you get a space heater?

You just want to rub it in that you can have a signature. You big meanie!

After watching him rub a girl's back and legs after she moved his hands away, I got to give DS6 the "you don't keep touching a girl when she says no" lecture tonight and I did it when the other three boys were nearby and loud enough for them all to hear. I think it's pretty much sunk in with the oldest 3 by now and maybe it will take with the 4th one too after tonight.

I told DW I wish the little girl (probably 7 or 8 years old) had just decked DS6 because, even though she looked cute, she also looked like she could take care of herself.

So how do I stop a Wildcat from eating my laptop? :confused:

1. People often wonder what I'm talking about. Don't worry, it's not just you.
2. Everyone has their own bedroom. 4 girls, 4 bedrooms. I told them to get a fan and we just had a civil conversation that did not involve me screaming and they agreed they would shut vents and open windows. I'm not technically allowed to have a space heater in here, but I suppose no one would find out. That's a thought.
3. I am above such childish games. :angel:

Well, I don't know what the rules are exactly where you live but let me say this: I am one that is very much anti space heaters (gee, don't know why with four kids running around here) but we have a couple of electric heaters in our home that I feel perfectly safe with -- they stay cool to the touch and have shut-off devices in them that turn them off if they start to overheat.

Um, yeah. I believe you. No, really.

Hello Pj and Rob,

Hey PJ do your roommates have a register in their room that they can close or cover up. I used to put aluminum foil over the one in my room so it wouldn't get hot.

We're just not allowed to have anything like space heaters d/t them being a fire hazard. We're also not allowed to have candles but don't get me started on that. :rolleyes:

I am not convinced. Try harder.
