Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[TexasDisneyBelle]

So, she contacts pseudo-roommate and finds out that my squatter friend is at storage. She then takes it upon herself to find a ride out to our town to meet my friend at storage. When asked how she was going to get home by my friend, she said that she will wait on my porch for her dad to pick her up.

***?!

I had to shorten your quote in order to respond. (cellphone)
Anyway, sorry some of your friends are taking advantage of your niceness or easygoing personality. (I'm not sure which.) I wish I could give you some advice, but it seems like you've already been pretty straightforward with them about your boundaries. You could try changing your locks. That might keep them out of the house. Won't stop them from squatting on your porch though.

So I'm totally listening to music from Disneyland and cooking. haha. Yes ladies, I'm 22, single, know how to cook, straight and love Disney! What more could you ask for?

 

[DCTooTall]

also a much heavier car ,it's the prowler gears that make it awesome

Point....


So I'm looking at the M3's.... and remembering that they can be a bit on the expensive side to repair when things go flakey on them. Now I'm wondering if I should get the car or not.... or maybe look at another POS car and get a bike first.... or a pos car to save up more for a decent down payment on a M3.

decisions decisions.... ugh.

I have a Saab 900s that my uncle is letting me borrow for the moment and to replace each motor on the convertible top (there's 5) it's over $1,000 a piece. Foreign cars are cheap to buy but expensive to fix! I say buy a cheap POS that'll get you though the winter and save up for a decent down payment.


Haha apparently so.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Anyone for Epcot tomorrow?

Me of course, but you already knew that. . .lol.

All hail Darcy the multi quote goddess!

Again I am awesome. . .whatever. . .lol.

I just need to vent a moment. I live on my own. I have a squatter friend who crashes here and I allow her to do it because she and I seem to have a symbiotic relationship. She helps out with my son, cleans, does laundry, dishes, etc. Having her squat here actually makes my life easier. She comes and goes as she pleases, but respects my rules and we're ok with what we have.

What I do not like is having people think they can just come over anytime they want without asking me if I want company. Last week, I came home to my friend in my house playing on my son's xbox. When I inquired to the nature of her visit she told me she didn't want to be at home because of some situation or another. I explained that I just got off work and I wasn't expecting company nor did I want company. I told her she should have called me before just popping over and I would have told her this on the phone and avoided this awkwardness. I then made it plain as day to all my friends that hanging out at my place without my consent was not ok. This included when they hung out with my squatter friend at the club and came back to my place with her and then just decided to crash. It seems they were under the impression that she had some kind of rights here. I informed them that she is a guest and has no rights other than those I give to my guests.

So tonight, we have an acquaintence who is a bit needy. She called every one of us looking to hang out. She's in a tough spot medically and I can empathize with that. But, I came home from work early due to having a bit of a head cold and when I was asked if I wanted to pick her up and have her come over, I declined.

So, she contacts pseudo-roommate and finds out that my squatter friend is at storage. She then takes it upon herself to find a ride out to our town to meet my friend at storage. When asked how she was going to get home by my friend, she said that she will wait on my porch for her dad to pick her up.

***?!

Bottom line? Don't let any friend or pseudo friend squat. . .screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me. . .get it?

 

[bluedevilinaz]

Totally off topic but we've hit 100 pages in under 2 months! haha

I work with most all transplants. . .of 25 staff, only one is a native, and she is my bestest friend at work.



We have more nurses on the DIS singles threads per capita than any other profession. Why? We have nurturing needs that are only met by the disboards. . . Just the way it is. . .lol.



I honestly think that alcohol is the motivating factor though. . .Why? because we can "forget" what we don't want to remember. . .like the 45 year old dying of heart disease who was always healthy and an athlete, or the mother who is 50 and has several young (less than 30 year old) children who has a massive MI and doesn't make it. Its a rough life but a rewarding life. Alcohol can sometimes be a buffer. . .but it is also a detainer. . .keeps us locked in our temporary misery. . .



Nurses, teachers, belly dancers, snake charmers, cheerleaders, and any other females who will wiggle and shake for the camera. . .ROFLMAO. . .




Once again, I must say that we are prone to addictive disease because we find nurturing addictive. . .the alcohol and partying makes it all tolerable. . .



I think the difference is that I have always wanted a drink. On the occasion where I felt I needed a drink I have abstained. I know, kinda wierd. . .lol.




Whatever, you are a pyrate and can word things anyway you want. . .Captain. . .




Nurses don't nurture until after the fall. When you need someone to scrape you up off the floor and get you back on track, you get a nurse.



I reitterate a quote from a few days ago. . .you are a VERY bad man. . .




bad man again.



Your daughter humbles you. . .its quite awesome to witness in person. . .you turn into total mush. . .you would think she was 2 years old. . .but she is a grown woman. . .And don't deny what I am saying, I have witnessed it firsthand. . .




I have a cute plaid skirt and plain white polo. . .seems school uni enough. . .lol.



Okay, truly, I am a gonner with true pyrate speak. . .can't do it.



I have rented numerous calibers on the west coast. The "cooler" in the glovebox feature is only awesome if you can cool the surrounding air lower than refrigerator temps, otherwise the drinks eventually warm up and there is no "cooler" effect.



Wait, I am a girl and I can appreciate a nice fast start off the line. One of the reasons I drive a 5 speed is it is quick off the line. No bogging down like with an auto trannie.







Wow, interesting insight. . .



My son wanted me to homeschool him during Jr. High. . .thank God I said no. He would have ended up a mess. .lol.




That would be me. No subtle bone in my body.



Exactly.

Epic multiquote.

I was going to mention the same thing- 1400+ posts since the beginning of March- Wow.. you folks certainly ARE social!

This is my first post here in the SSC, but I've kind of been lurking a bit- You all seem mostly harmless and I thought I'd pull up a chair, make myself comfy and watch the festivities. Got room for another? I promise not to drain the coffee pot.

Welcome! I've found that the coffee lasts longer if you mix it with something.

Happy Friday to everyone for whom it matters!

Don't worry about draining any coffee pot some of us like other cold drinks

TGIF After the week I have had I'm glad it is Friday!!!

Hope everyone has a great day! I'm not going to EPCOT though...have fun

 

[Mandyjg20]

the best one ever was when one of the Attorneys and I convinced a group of people that we were running a secret nightclub in the basement of a well known building in the City. I created a website, I designed t-shirts and we had them printed, it was so much fun,

we later found out that people would get nervous whenever they saw the 2 of us talking privately for more than a minute or 2. they said they weren't sure what we were capable of..

LMAO, I love that

 

[Mandyjg20]

All hail Darcy the multi quote goddess!

[nurse.darcy]

also a much heavier car ,it's the prowler gears that make it awesome

My car is a pos, but it gets good gas mileage and because it is 5 speed manual, I can get out of the way of most all traffic problems. My first car ever was a 65 chevy malibu that we tricked out in auto shop and added high rear end gears and a 4 speed manual clutching system to. Along with a really nice high performance big block engine. The guys in shop kept saying I was the only woman on the block with a dragster. . .lol.

Me, me, me!!!!! I would give anything to meet you there tomorrow!!!!!

Dani, any time girl. . .

So I'm totally listening to music from Disneyland and cooking. haha. Yes ladies, I'm 22, single, know how to cook, straight and love Disney! What more could you ask for?

Ya know, of all my DISfriends that are male, I would say that 99 percent of them are straight. I think the only reason that surprises me at all is that ALL of them LOVE Disney princesses. . .lol.

Point....

Do whatever makes you happy. I am sorry sweetie but it would take 3 packs a day and 20 years to give you the smoker's version of low, sexy. You are animated enough and can probably imitate any accent better than trying to develop one that doesn't exist. . .

Haha apparently so.

LOL. . .a friend of mine has a 2009 SAAB convertible that I love. However, I would not want the repair bills. Also, her's is automatic. I still always prefer a manual.

Me of course, but you already knew that. . .lol.

Again I am awesome. . .whatever. . .lol.

Bottom line? Don't let any friend or pseudo friend squat. . .screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me. . .get it?

I should just say that my sister tried this with me. I checked her into rehab. . .she was a drug addict. . .lol.

Totally off topic but we've hit 100 pages in under 2 months! haha

You should note that this is the 2nd reincarnation of this thread. . .we knocked off the earlier one before DC came down for his vacation.

Epic multiquote.

I love being unforgettable. . .lol. (Hmmmmm, now that I think about it, not really sure if that is a good thing or not.)

No one will fault you for draining the coffee pot. If you drink the last of the rum, wine, vodka, etc. and don't bring replacements at some point, the entire colony will attack at once. . .lol.

So. . .Jalapeno Margarita day?. . .just asking. See you all at Epcot in a couple hrs. . .gotta warm up (no not weather), need to wake up because I had an early morning call case. . .One of my Niagara Falls friends is here and I am headed out to meet up. Epcot anyone?

 

[nurse.darcy]

Thats what I was thinking, she was awesome with the quotes!

Well thank you, but for me, multiquote is sort of like a fastpass. You can use it or not, but it sure makes your day easier if you do. . .It certainly makes it easier to catch up. . .lol.

I really need to wake up and get my day started. . .I am headed to Epcot for the day with my friends. Maybe I will download 4-square on my phone so you all can keep up and be jealous. . .lol.

 

[ahoff]

Heck, half the time the convo goes so fast all I can do is read, forget about commenting!

Especially if one can only make it on once a day.....

Sounds like your friend is taking too much liberties. Sometimes a line has to be drawn.

M3's are nice but yes, the cost of repair can get out of hand. Just for parts even. FWIW, I have two cars (and one in a shed) and the mode of transportation I use most is a bicycle. Especially if you live close to work (I have a 13 mile commute) But with today's gas prices, I am very comfortable with it. (And it will take the place of going to the gym)

TGIF

Ditto on that!

I'm picturing ants with shot glasses when you say colony.

And I'm going to be at epcot in less than 2 months. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you'll be in CA during my trip. But wait! I'll definitely see you in the fall.

It's my easy going personality of which people take advantage. It takes a lot to get me upset and I usually just go with the flow. My job is too stressful for me to get worked up over little things.

That's alright about not being able to give me any advice. I was just venting my frustration. I pretty much told my squatter that if this idiot came over my house or my porch I was throwing her out. They figured out I was serious. I feel bad because I chewed out my acquaintance (the porch squatter) pretty badly, but she was ridiculous and needed to know that. By the end of the night, everything was fine.

So I'm totally listening to music from Disneyland and cooking. haha. Yes ladies, I'm 22, single, know how to cook, straight and love Disney! What more could you ask for?

For you to live in Florida

Bottom line? Don't let any friend or pseudo friend squat. . .screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me. . .get it?

The house squatter is actually beneficial to me, it's these other ones that think my house is their hang out. After last night, I doubt I will have any more issues with it. I'm probably also a "so-called" friend or two short now, but that's ok. I slept pretty good last night.

Sounds like your friend is taking too much liberties. Sometimes a line has to be drawn.

I completely agree and I drew that line, reinforced it with bold lettering, and highlighted it.

I feel good about how I handled it.
