Who here is not in the "clique" like me?

[hellokitty86]

Hi everyone! Good afternoon.

Nothing new going on here. I'm slightly annoyed because Jeremiah's(DH) Aunt called and said there is a crack in the dashboard of the new car and they had to take it to the dealership and they have to order the new part. I'm just wondering HOW there can be a CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD and you PURCHASE the car and YOU DIDN'T SEE IT. This just proves how dumb this chick is.

ANYWAY- The plane ticket went up $119 to $194 overnight. I can't imagine how much more its going to go up tomorrow. And now they are talking about that they want to DRIVE UP to give us the car, and then TOW the old car back down to FL. So his aunt and his Grandpa (Who's 80 and just weeks ago fell asleep at the wheel and totaled his other car) are going to drive separately and put all those miles on those cars, and then tow DH's Explorer on his Grandpa' truck which weighs less than DH's Explorer alllllll the way down to FL????? That's atleast a 4 day trip. And I DO NOT have anywhere for these people to sleep! I hate his family, they are so frusterating. They don't get that the car is a PIECE OF JUNK and it is going to take more money than its worth it fix it. It is in DH's name so I told him he can tell them they can't take it, but then they can throw a fit and not give us any of the money we gave them back for the new car and just take it back. Then we'll be screwed.

So I might not be able to go down and see my Mom. I shouldn't have gotten so excited.

ANYWAY...I want to get my mind off this stupid situation...

Hi Nicole I was with DH 5 years before we got married. I know how hard it can be when it comes to money to be able to do anything. Wouldn't it be romantic if he did propose in WDW?

Amber: Wow, the kids question. I want kids right now! I don't think DH is ready though. How do you think DH is handling all this conversation about babies? Does he sound excited about it? I drive my DH crazy because I always ask him opinions on different names, etc. If we had the money to feel secure enough to have kids, I think we would start now. But I want to live closer to family before we start anyways....Sorry I'm not being helpful on the subject. But I do know how you feel!!

Actually, DH is the one bringing up having kids! We have discussed it before and both said we didn't want them. Some of his friends had kids recently (his best friend just had a son last Monday) so this new interest in kids may be due to that.

The more I think about it though, the more I think I do want kids (well, maybe just one).

 

[lindakmonty]

Ok...I've finally caught up reading from the weekend...darn..I missed the party. After the drama w/my p.o.s. ex...I could have used a drink !!

Michele...sorry you had such a horrible trip! Your BIL sounds like my ex! Sounds like your sister and her kids really deserve someone much better in their life! Maybe someday she'll agree.

Ashley...hope pansy boy coughs up the money for your dh's much deserved raise! Wow...psycho aunt... good luck there!

Nicole...glad to see your grandma made it well through her surgery

Donna... hope you're enjoying your trip...isn't EE incredible?!!! I love it!!!! WE miss our lovely breakfasts though !!

April...way to go decluttering You'll be amazed when you're done! It is so worth it!!!

Dznyfan...yeah, my ex and his new wife deserve each other!!! I love it...she wrote me a 4 page letter telling me she's an attorney and how I don't understant the paperwork and I'm not following the rules...hahaha I can read english perfectly fine...and when it says he has to give me his vacation plans by April 1st of every year and he trys to tell me in June that they're going on vacation in Aug. and I've already informed them in December that he's going to be in a wedding that weekend...take me to court lady....let the judge tell you you're WRONG and you can't take him!! It also says you can't take them on vacation w/in 7 days of the school year starting!!Its only 3 days before school starts! Hehehe!!! They're so stupid...I can't wait to go to court!
How sweet to wash and wax your daughters car!! I'll pay you to wash and wax my car !! Your daughter sounds a lot like me... so caring and a hard worker. would do anything to help other people and volunteer like that... sounds like you've raised a wonderful young lady!

lyzziesmom... wow... just tell the neighbor not to bathe a few days? what an idiot! I bet you're so glad to be getting ready to move!! You can leave those problems behind! You pass out w/needles too I've been known to pass out at the dentist's office a few times just something about needles coming at my face!!!! NO thank you!!! Did you know that the average human eats 8 spiders in your lifetime? EWWW I know!! I had lasik last year and it was the best $ I've ever spent! I went from 20/400 to 20/15 in about 2 minutes!! I'd definitely go for it!!!! I love being able to swim and not be blind!

Amber...thanks I need all the luck I can get! I agree you really don't know someone until you've lived w/them! We lived together about a year before we got married. Glad we did!

YourMajesty...Thanks I will get em' in court!! My mom use to care for the judges father...just passed away from cancer and my mom was his nurse DH is up a lot from his back pain. He's been averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. I can't imagine functioning w/that amount of sleep! I keep forgetting what the Dr. calls it that is wrong... bulging discs and something else plus nerve damage... makes his right leg and foot numb. Nerve in elbow makes his 2 small fingers on his right hand numb...all kinds of crazy stuff like that. That would drive me crazy... That is awesome your dh has been in the AF reserves!! we can't go anywhere w/o running into people we know from the guard Like a HUGE family. I love that! So you're dh will still have to work like the rest of us I'd love dh to be able to work another 20 but it just isn't going to happen. Plus if he's going to make just as much $ not working...then that's even better.

2xcited2slp...you're right we did deserve so much better. There was just no way I was going to raise my son to think it was ok to hit a woman...or act the way his father does! I think he's narcasistic (sp?)!! Thanks, I need all the luck I can get I'll be praying for your cousin My family is very close as well! I'm 29...probably his age. People can be so cruel I hope he gets some help and has some good friends to help him through his depression. He obviously has a great family there w/open arms to help. That is pretty rare these days. You'll have to turn him onto the DIS There are so many friendly people here and it is so easy to get on here and forget about the problems around us. Having people you can vent to like I have been!

Well tomorrow my fil is having open heart surgery, replacing a valve in his heart. He's 70 and the first surgery he's ever had! If you could please send your prayers for him I'm going to run to the preschool and lawyers office... show the lawyer my papers and give him the documentation I have. The dates they requested in the court papers and what he gave me doesn't even match ... they said I've denied visitation dates so I'm going to the preschool that he takes him to on Fridays and get copies of the sign in sheets so I can ask the judge how they could have taken him to preschool if I denied their visitation!!! They are simply ridiculous!!!Documentation will prove their lack of intelligence and lies! He has another son that is a teenager and hasn't seen him in 10 years...I really wish he'd just leave ds alone like his other son...and he had nothing to do w/him at all before anyway, just when she came along last August!! She has a 2yr old and they just want ds to babysit for them So pathetic!! Have a great day ladies..and pozey

Hello Everyone!
DH brought up the topic of kids this weekend. We were in agreement that we didn't think we wanted them, but now the idea is growing on me/us. My mom has been asking me for years when I would have one (mind you I just turned 25) so she would be thrilled if I even hinted that we are considering it. Any advice?

OK, I am off to get caught up on all of you!!

Well, despite having to do laundry in the dark, at least you have electricity again!
Kids... wow. I have to agree with Linda - kids are wonderful. I NEVER planned on having any children, but after my DH and I had been together about 3 years (married about 2) we decided that we would. He had a son from a prior marriage, and I was 26, he 30 when we decided. I was actually 27 when my girl was born. I absolutely can't imagine life without her, and can't imagine not having one. Despite the tough times (and there have been some!) she's the most awesome thing that's happened to me. She and her half brother are 11 years apart, so she's pretty much been an only child. He moved in with us when she was 3 and he was 14, lived with us for four years, then went off to college. He's been out of the house since. Whatever you decide, I know it'll be the right decision for you!

 

[lyzziesmom]

Amber, let me just say - nobody is ever "ready" for kids. If you think you want them, don't let waiting until you're ready be the deciding factor. You only have a short time to have them while you're young and be able to enjoy them, and then enjoy yourself again once they are grown. Both of my kids were surprises (of the very best kind) and I was most definitely NOT ready for either one of them, but they have shown me so much that I would have missed out on. I think the fact that you two are even thinking & talking about kids means you're about as ready as you're going to be. Toss out the pill and if it's meant to be, it will be!! Don't let it consume your lives, just let it happen if it will. Or not, who am I to tell you what you do?!?

Does anyone remember the episode of Family Ties where Alex was on speed, and he kept rolling around his room in his little office chair? That's how I feel today. I am in full-on Monday mode (remember: Oh Crap! Why the Heck Didn't I Do This Earlier?!?) I'd better slow down, or I'll have nothing else to do all week. Speaking of which... there is a pile of paperwork calling me and it will not be ignored.

 

[2xcited2slp]

Excuse Me????

ANYONE OUT THERE???????




Guess where I found us????




PAGE 4--------------PAGE 4




Boy, you'd think we have lives or somethin'.




off to catch up-----be back in one momento.

Well... page 4 is not so bad considering there were no posts for 6 1/2 hours!! Where was everyone, working or something??

I went to Home Depot today to attempt to choose some paint colors. Whoo boy, that place makes me feel like a dope. At least I wasn't the only one standing cluelessly in front of the giant wall o'paint chips. I came home with an entire bag full of color samples & brochures! And picked up a few lime green Mickey heads while I was there ... what the heck. There were a LOT, which confirms my belief that I am the ONLY DISer in all of Kansas.

I sang my new & improved lullaby to the girls last night. Lyzzie loved it, and she made up a new verse for you, 2xcited:

Hush little princess, don't you cry.
Your Captain Jackie is still nearby.

Ain't she sweet? BTW - she is also in with Mr. Sparrow. Not Mr. Depp, just when he's all pirated up. Something for me to worry about, apparently my girliepie likes the bad boys.

Oh, and your momento is over-o.

 

[2xcited2slp]

Okay, I'm back.

First of all, thank you all for the well wishes for my cousin. From what I have heard, he is doing better and has a doctor's appt. later on this week. At first no one understood why so late, but they said this gives him some time to "mull" things over and maybe figure some things out for himself. I don't know, still doesn't make sense to me. He is under a watchful eye between his parents and his friends. As much as we are a close family, many times there is a lack of communication. I keep asking if I can call my aunt or even him and all I get--from my mom and my other aunt is "not right now". Evidentally he is pretty distraught and ashamed. I may do it anyway.??? Thank you all again.


DznyFan--I agree with Nicole--your DD would make an awesome counselor. I am sure this was an amazing and humbling experience for her. I would love to see photos.


Amber--Wow, the kids discussion. I say let nature take its course. If it is meant to be, it will happen.


Linda--Sorry you missed the party, too. It was fun--Lyzziesmom had her blender out and whipped up some mean froo-froo drinks. They were yummy. Since Donna is in our World, breakfast has not been provided so we decided to make them nightcaps instead until she gets back.
Sound like you may be one up on them in court with the signed preschool papers. Good thinking.
Prayers for you FIL.



Nicole--The right time will come. Don't give up hope, but don't push him away, either. Sometimes guys get weird when they think that marriage is all you want. But, I'm not sure I would take my advice--remember who you are talking to?? Still not married, but I, personally, would not still be married if mine would have went through. Just saying.


Ashley--How do you put up with these people?? I am getting confused just reading about it. And all you want to do is see your mom.



Lyzziesmom--you almost busted me today at work, sista!!!! I was in a room, quietly and professionally doing a facial. You know, all nice and dark and pretty music playing and aromatic scents whafting about--lavender, eucalyptus, chamomile,etc. Well, I was doing the massage portion of the facial and my mind started to wander. I started thinking about the last verse of your poetic lullaby from last night. I started silently shaking, a try-my-best to hold it in giggle, which let out a little "he" which I then fakely turned into "cough, cough". Oh, pardon me--tickle in my throat. I just about lost it!!!!!! Thanks for that!!! It's a classic!!! I will always remember my verse.
Beautiful paragraph about your girls, BTW.



April--how did the realtor go tonight?? Did you get the house looking like you wanted??



YM--
I was able to stop at Borders after work today and pick up #1 again. I only had a chance to read the first couple of pages but will continue tonight if I am not up too late with all you crazy girls and a guy. I had forgotten how much detail went into Morelli's decscription at first. YUM. I'm telling you, Johnny D.---tatoos (Morelli has an eagle on his chest), eyes like black fire, then melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. YUM YUM cupcake.



I wonder what Donna is doing right now. Anyone know how long she was going to be gone??

Hi Pozey (our man)--made a decision yet??
Hi DolphinresueGirl-- how's the job going??
Hi MImom

If I missed anyone, I apologize.

 

[2xcited2slp]

Oh, and your momento is over-o.

Patience please.



Love the new verse--thanks Lyzzie--you're a girl after my own heart.
Gotta love those bad boys.--with eyeliner.

Luv, Auntie Pin-cess

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Page 4!!! That's just not right!

Well I took the afternoon off to go to the doctor and register for school so I can become a travel agent! I know...just what we need, yet another TA, but I think this is what I really want to do with my life.

Lyzziesmom- I love your lullabys! And tell Lyzzie I love Cpt Jack too. Not Johnny Depp, just Jack!

Lyzziesmom and 2xcited, If you don't mind me asking what are your real names? Did you say what they where and I missed them? I feel like I should call you by your names and not your screennames. Dznyfan, you too.

 

[ForTheLoveofDisney]

Hi Guy and Gals,

I AM EXAUSTED!! I just used dictionary.com because exhausted didn't "look" right to me and here are some of the definitions:
1.To wear out completely.
2.To drain of resources or properties; deplete:
3.To use up completely

That pretty much sums me up!
And this was just the decluttering. This wasn't even the "cleaning". You know, the clean like your mother-in-law is coming over cleaning. Just throwing out old junk!! Oh, and boxing up all stuff that isn't neccesary to live, like my Americana collection and my Disney collections. Yes, I watch all the episodes of Sell This House and Designed to Sell.

I have another painter coming tomorrow to give us an estimate. The painter I really want can't get to us until September!!

Oh, and I'll tell you straight up I did not like this realtor. I just didn't feel like we had chemistry and I think it's important to at least be on the same page. I asked her how many houses does she sell in a year --A standard question from everything I've read and heard and she looked at me like I had two heads and she replied, "Oh, I have no idea. I don't keep track of that stuff." ---Really, this is your business, your lively hood and you don't keep track? This is a standard question. You should at least know if you sell at least 10, 20 or 30 houses a year. I'm in the newspaper business (I worked at one in South Carolina and I've worked in the one up here and I still work there whenever they need me to fill in) and you know what your readership is. It's your business to know!! You know you have a readership of 33,000 or 85,000 or whatever. You just know. She didn't know about marketing. -- Really, so what you just put my house on the MLS and hope someone sees it? You don't aggressively try and sell my house? There were other things that seemed off too so needless to say we won't be listing with her. I let her come to my home as a favor to the painter that I want to use. I didn't seek her out.

Well, I still have caught up with the thread. I should have been on here when there was that 6 1/2 hours lag. I could have taken my time and really got caught up but after the realtor left I was just way toooo tired.

So, I'll have to catch up with you all tomorrow. I feel like I'm out of the loop. Sorry I'm not a good cliquer.

Have a great night!!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Hi April,

Yeah that realtor doesn't sound too good.

 

[hellokitty86]

Hi everyone!

2xcited: LOL, that is so funny that you were thinking about the lullaby and started laughing. Hopfully it wasn't too noticeable! Did you still get a good tip???

Hi April!!! We miss you. I'm sorry you don't like the realtor. What a weirdo!!! Do you have most of the stuff done???

Lyzziesmom: Ohhh, Lyzzie likes Captail Jack too!!! Hopefully she will not continue this liking when she gets older, you don't want her dating a future convict...

Hi Nicole!! How was your day??
Hi Amber, DznyFan, YM and Linda!! And everyone else

 

[2xcited2slp]

Lyzziesmom and 2xcited, If you don't mind me asking what are your real names? Did you say what they where and I missed them? I feel like I should call you by your names and not your screennames. Dznyfan, you too.

Plum-----------no, just kidding!!


Please don't be offended, but I feel that I must keep some kind of anonymity here. Though I am no rockstar, in the type of business I am in, I meet so many people who know people who know people. Also, the city that I live is sort of known as the "big little city". In other words, everyone knows someone. It is a small world. I feel like I gave out so much information already and I would hate for a client or someone to read some of my silliness. I promise that if and when we ever get a cliqueless meet together, I will formely introduce myself. If anyone feels the need to know now, you can PM me--just don't share on the public board. haha. I am sorry if I come across big-headed, as that is not me at all, it is just for my own protection for my job and being a single woman. You all mean alot to me, so I hope you understand my reasoning, as crazy as it may sound.

P.S. you can make up a name for me.

No, seriously, you can throw me a PM.

 

[dementia412]

Okay, no way I'll be reading this whole thing anytime soon, but just had to say I am so cliqueless.... I bounce all over the place, I have so many DIS emails every day... heck every hour, but none are from the same area... I even post in teenagers and the gay area.... I just see something that catches my eye, and boom I have to post... it's... an ..... addiction! HELP

!!

Oh...ForTheLoveofDisney....you made me tired...opps maybe I was alreay exausted and just needed it defined for me. Glad to hear you are making progress. Maybe you should use the best of three...interview at least three realators! Good luck!

Amber: so glad your electricity works...oh, and it sounds like you might have a good reason to skip laudry for a day or two. I think you and your DH should keep an open discussion about having kids. People do change as relationships mature. We actually wanted three but stopped with two...they are truly a blessing. I'm too old for the third and me body tells me that daily.

Nicloe: Good luck with your school...what a fun and interesting job! Do you remember the Toolah (spelling) in my Big Fat Geek Wedding...just thinking about being a travel agent. Hang in there too with your BF...

Ashley: my goodness you have aunts coming at ya from every angle! man...sounds like the car situation is as confusing as anyone could make it...really I need to send you some....

Linda: thanks for the spider stat. Hey, you make the lasik sound great. My vision is the primary reason I don't like to swim with the kids and especially take them to a water park...glasses get wet...and contacts fall out...and like...you gotta make sure they don't drown! and prayers for you fil. also, your poor DH...does he do PT? I'm looking next at an mri. I have the same fingers go numb (but only when i sleep)...then throw in the hip, knee and ankle and you've got the whloe body hurting. I really hope your x and his wife give up...but I know you have your ducks in a row if they don't.

Lizziesmom: I think you should just go ahead and do the house in alien green...pink and green look good together.

2excitd: you're back on #1. I really enjoyed it after reading 12. I wish I could have contained myself because I'm already on eight...takes a little away reading them so fast and close together...but just like everything else i do...nothing in moderation. Boy, just think what could be if I could learn a little self control.

Well, my benadryl is starting to kick in. Good thing I can use my allergies as an excuse to take it.

For what it's worth, one of the ways I (sometimes) stay diversified is to click on New Posts up at the top where we can access our User CP, FAQ, Members List (that has been disabled), Calendar, New Posts, Search, Quick Links, Log Out. This way I don't have to go into each forum. It gives a list of all the New Posts and this way they're all in one place and I don't have to click on each Forum to diversify.

 

[DisneyGirl4188]

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Thanks for all the advice. We are still talking about kids, so we'll see what happens.

dementia412,

April, I would definitely look for a better realtor. That one sounds like a ditz. I love Sell This House. I make DH watch it every Sunday. Roger would have a field day at my house, it's covered with Disney (way too much).

lyzziesmom, I don't think there are too many DISers where I live either. I went to Home Depot just to get lime green Mickey Heads and there were two rows of them! Good luck with the paint.
