Hello. Thanks to everyone who said Happy Bday.

Everyone in my house is HURLING. Even the MIL. :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

Oh, and Bob called this morning. He has a 103 degree temp, nausea, chills and a VERY sore throat. He thinks it's strep. Poor guy. He doesn't come home until Saturday.

I think I'll hide in the basement so no one can see me cry.

MEL
:sad1: :hug: :hug: :hug: Mel!!! I'm so sorry. I agree you need a birthday do over. How about a trip to Disney at the end of April/beginning of May? ;)

I'll try and call you in between all the craziness today. :hug:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mom is coming down today to see Baylie's dance team dance at Wassilfest tonight. It's supposed to be really cold tonight, so I'm a little worried about being out in it for 2 hours. :guilty:

We've got to run to the orthodontist too this morning.

I'll check in later, peeps! :goodvibes
 
ABSOLUTELY. I am with you. Let's go.

MEL

When will you be here?! :cool1:

Because they had the tub in the second bathroom professionally cleaned when they moved in and they don't want any feet on the tub floor that their kids use to bathe. :confused3

A butt is cleaner than feet?:confused3

Dec 13-16 Not long, but enough for a Disney fix. :hyper:

Maybe we can meet for a drink? :)

My mom is coming down today to see Baylie's dance team dance at Wassilfest tonight.

Good luck Baylie! :thumbsup2
 
Crazy busy at work today. Just popping in to say hi :wave: to everyone and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!!

Happy Birthday Mel!!!

:hug: for all the sickies. Things will get better. We have had a similar occurrence here at work. We have had so many sick, teachers are literally leaving class to puke. So many district employees are sick that they can't find subs. :sad2:

I hope everyone else has a wonderful day.

I'm feeling half-way human again.

:hug:
 
Hi all!

Sorry there are so many sick! Feel better.

Just curious.........How does one get in the tub without putting their feet in it first? Maybe they dive in.

EXACTLY!!! :confused:


Drive by.... My dad's in town and I don't have much time.
Hi Kate :wave:

LOL, I asked the same thing the first time I stayed with them - I really thought they were joking! No, they believe the kids' feet are fine, but adult feet are gross and who knows what kind of fungus might get in the tub and then onto the kids. :rolleyes:

Honest, they're lovely people otherwise and very dear friends, but this one just throws me for a loop! :rotfl:
 
Funny story. Last night Jimmy was singing Over the River and through the woods (they are learning it in music class) and at the end he always says the line from CHarlie Brown Thanksgiving "But my gransmother lives in a condominium). It makes us laugh. Anyway we then started talking about how Miss V and "Leo" live in a condo, etc. (He was upset because we couldn't go over the river and through the woods to get to their house:goodvibes ). Anyway he had a hard time remembering who Miss V and Leo were so I showed him a picture and I said there is Miss V and insertleosrealname here. Jimmy said oh yeah, I remember but his name's not insertrealnamehere...it's Leo:lmao:

Yes, I quoted myself...No, I don't talk to myself...much. Just wanted to see if V saw this from yesterday!
 
Yes, I quoted myself...No, I don't talk to myself...much. Just wanted to see if V saw this from yesterday!

I didn't - thank you for re-posting it! What a sweetheart :goodvibes Know what? I sometimes call him "Leo" too. ;)
 
Finally had a minute to go back and read!:thumbsup2

The cards are done! Until I remember someone else, but I think I am done. I also wrapped some gifts, mainly because I don't want KC to be able to snoop his stuff! I camouflage all his stuff in weird boxes so he can't tell once they are wrapped! Hopefully tomorrow will be the end of my shopping...I have just a few things to get. Now if KC would go shopping for me that would be great!

Wow! You are so ahead of the game! Great idea about weird shapped boxes:thumbsup2

Oh God, is KC going to be out with Jim on Christmas Eve shopping:sad2: Although I have given him several hints about DVC but he is not taking te bait:headache:

A final bye I can't keep away :rotfl:

Ly all :grouphug:

Missed you:headache: Have a great time!

MEL

Oh Mel:hug: :hug: Do over birthday is definitely in order. Don't hide in the basement and cry...get out of the house before you catch what everyone has. Take yourself out to lunch and treat yourself to a mani and pedi!:hug:

I think this calls for a girls only trip to Disney, right??:confused3

:thumbsup2

I hate staying with the folks I do because I'm only allowed to shower in the master bath's shower... which is located in their master suite... which means I have to wait for them to be done and out. Why? Because they had the tub in the second bathroom professionally cleaned when they moved in and they don't want any feet on the tub floor that their kids use to bathe. :confused3

OK, that is just weird. Have these people never heard of lysol or clorox if they are that concerned!:confused:

I saved me some money... yesterday, I got the phone company to reduce my phone bill to $9.99 and Internet to $14.99 and I canceled Showtime until The Tudors ever returns. Saves me about $45 a month! :cool1:

Saving money is ALWAYS a good thing:yay:


Question of the day: do you wear underwear with pantyhose? I got frustrated with visible panty lines the other day and it suddenly occurred to me... PANTYhose - maybe I'm not supposed to be putting another layer under there in the first place!! :idea:

It depends on the outfit, if that makes sense. If it is a skirt that is fuller and pl's aren't an issue then yes. If it is more of an a-line, snugger around the hips or slacks then no.

Has anyone eaten at The Plaza before? What did you think? Do you really need to make an ADR?

Me! We ate there in August and it was really good. Basic sandwiches, and a Rueben to die for :faint: I would definitely make an ADR because it is not that big of a place, so seating is VERY limited.

My mom is coming down today to see Baylie's dance team dance at Wassilfest tonight. It's supposed to be really cold tonight, so I'm a little worried about being out in it for 2 hours. :guilty:

Break a leg B!:yay:

Glad you are feeling better:goodvibes

Hi Kate :wave:


Hi Mary :wave2:
 
A lot of you guys have posted here at one time or another.. about people imposing on you, or you wondering if you should get involved.

SO here is my story.. I'll shorten this immensely.

We have friends... that have always called us when they needed money.
Why I still feel for these people I do not know. We loaned them more money than I want to disclose... THOUSANDS... to save their house from Foreclosure.
Always promising to pay us back. 3 weeks ago they were foreclosed upon.
This guy DID come into some money...and was SUPPOSED to pay us back.. but he did not.
He tried to settle with the mortgage company and they took his money... and he is STILL without a home.

His wife needs a Hysterectomy.. and they are evicted. He is ONCE AGAIN ASKING for $1500.00 for her COBRA so she can have the surgery.. AND so they can get into an apartment.

Honey...I have a family member like this. And it's a very personal choice as to how far you are willing to go. Without telling you what to do, I will only say that eventually you have to hit the wall. You'll know when you've hit the wall...and it will no longer become a question of IF you're supposed to help...only how to tell them no. IYKWIM.

You'll know when you've hit the wall. If it's now...then you need to be willing to say no. If it's not now...then it will happen eventually.

:hug:

You are a wonderful person.

Oh Katt, you have such a good heart:hug: but you cannot let people take advantage of you and that's what it sounds like this couple is doing to you. No real advice, just a :hug:. You'll make the right decision.:hug:

i think you've already tried to help out. they needed to take advantage of the opportunity you gave them, but it sounds like they did not. i would not loan any more money. just my opinion. :hug:

you're a nice person to help them out, but i think if you give them any more money, they would be taking advantage of you. again, just my opinion. :hug:
 
Just a drive by :moped: so I can say Hi and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!!!!

I am on my way to the shower and heading to the city with KC...have a great day everyone! I'm gonna try and take some pics of the city today so u all can see NYC in Winter. :)

Katt, I could've written what Jen said myself, so I'm copying it. Trust V - you'll know. :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
There is SOOO much more in this story... But V would have to start a new thread today if I posted it:rotfl2:

The money that mostly Scott gave them... The wife did not know about.
YUP... somehow He managed to hide this from her. A few times Scott even gave money BEHIND MY BACK.. which has something to do with my anger.

He always asks Scott.. BECAUSE Scott is a softy.

IF I really pushed... I would have DVC.. because I do not ask for anything. There is only Three things that I want... Joshua to not have Autism, A larger and FINAL HOME.. no more moving, and a Vacation to Disney every year, so I can watch my kids be happy and Joshua treated like a VIP.
( ok 4 things... Scott to sell off the train collection:rotfl2: )

That's it.

I don't need Fine clothes, diamonds, expensive shoes, the best furnishings in my home. It's STUFF. The worst part of a bigger home.. I would be forced to have to replace worn out Furniture.

My Christmas lists always have things like Socks, Sweat suits, on it.
Or as in the case of this year... a New Camcorder.. as mine does not work anymore, and I am missing moments of my kids because it is not working right.

Call me Mrs Practical. I about had a cow when I got a new dishwasher this year. The one I was using... really ceased to function correctly 3 years ago. I Needed it.. but I can always make do.

I have sent this guy a text message.. Scott has said it is my decision THIS TIME. IF HE really wants this money. He will have to go through me this time. I have a lot of hurt in me... and I will let it out. I have demands.. and one of them will involve a Notarized note for the back money that we have given him. AND for THIS MONEY.

At least I can claim that money on my taxes as Money NOT MADE. When the time is right.

But first.. he has to ask ME.

Thanks for your ears Gals. And your opinions, which are all correct. :lovestruc

Very weird...:confused3

When I worked I always wore panties with my hose. But now that the girls are in dance (especially when they go to competitions) they aren't allowed. So, I think either way is fine and really up to you.

Don't you want people to think you wear panties, V? ;) :lmao:


Here's some of the one's I finished:
CIMG7054.jpg


Talk to you all later, have to go to work for a stupid meeting. :headache:
They are beautiful! :lovestruc
I'm still crabby that mine were to thick to mail regular and it would cost $1.20 to mail each one. :mad:

They sound like they go to Scott to get around you. They don't sound like friends at all. They sound like they are using you big time. It's your decision what to do, but it sounds like you're fed up.

Look away if you don't want to read my religous stuff, people...:rolleyes1


Okay- It's also in the bible not to be a borrower or lender. You work so hard to not have debt, but you're allowing these people to owe you. I think you know in your heart it's not the right thing to do. They are using you and putting you guys in a position you know isn't right. :hug: I hope you don't mind my tough love, but I know you and I have similar views of things. :hug:

No matter what you decide, we'll all love you no matter what. :grouphug: :)
