There is a certain thread in RT that is making me want to copy Tgal''s avatar so badly.

I give up.

Now I want to see....

Thanks for the encouragement earlier. I know we can make this work, and still save money, and be happy - I just want the data to back that up right now instead of having to try doing it and see! Grrrr....

It''s cliched, but I really think having confidence in that is the MOST important part. I can totally understand wanting confirmation now though..!

LOL - sometimes I wish I weren''t so practical. We could *definitely* get a nice place to live if I were okay with not saving money. But that''s not an option. On the plus side, we did a drive through of our intended neighbourhood(s) today and found a few good places/scoped out some places we saw on Craigslist. I put BF in charge of calling while I''m on vacation so we can hit the ground running with viewings when I get back.

Princess: Good luck! I'm sure you guys will bounce back fine in no time. All you need is a good head on your shoulder (CHECK!), someone to snuggle with at night (CHECK!) and enough money for groceries (assuming this is a CHECK! as well!).

Big hugs.

Just don't take lyra's craigslisting route, I suppose

I just got our two iPhone 4s today!!!!! a day before launch day!!! wooohoooo!

Lucky you!!! I'm soo jealous!!! I have to wait til my contract is up which won't be for a long while or just buy it outright...yikes!

Two more days until we''re in our new condo. I can''t wait to settle in and have the rest of the summer to relax by the pool with a few good books. My husband starts his job on Monday and he''s looking forward to seeing familiar people and old friends again (he''s returning to a job he had a few years ago).

 

[zoebartlett]

Princesss -- I know you''re probably looking for a house, but if you''re willing to go the condo route, our place is still available. Our lease runs out at the end of Aug. and we''re still paying the rent until the rental agency finds someone to move in. Let me know if you''re interested. Not trying to push you of course -- but it''s a nice place with a really low rent. It''s probably not in the area you''re focusing on though. Just an idea though.

 

[VRBeauty]

It''s almost 10 pm and I haven''t eaten dinner yet.

Have to do something about my eating habits.

The screen is absolutely amazing. Ours don''t appear to have bugs but I''ve seen reports of people with service issues.

The good thing is that by the time you are ready for a new phone, the bugs and kinks will be worked out!

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Swedish Bean- I get mine today!!!!! LOL, just in time too....seeing that I have dropped my other iPhone so much that it randomly tells me "no sim card". HAHAHAH, At&t guy was like ''um....., I have never seen this before." I was like, " well consider this part of your ''on your feet training''. lie to me and make it better"

 

[dragonfly411]

Strawder - mine says that sometimes. I thought it was just a default reaction to dropping it

The things I see in my job amuse me sometimes.

Ha!

I was just coming in to mention a silly email I received from my coworker. I had asked for input on the wording of an email I was sending to one of our VPs. We have a team from Germany visiting and I wanted to set up a meet & greet but didn''t want to sound lame.

This was his suggestion:

Yo Yo Yo, we’s gots these peeps coming from The Weiner Schnitzel capital of the world and figured they could meet you and you could chill for awhile. Let me know wassup. Peace!

Ah, the joys of working with boys

Why do 99.9% of throw blankets have those little strings dangling off the edges? 1. They''re ugly and 2. I have dogs that would LOVE to attack those things, so I can''t buy throw blankets like that

Poor product design.

Our dog is okay with the fringes, but the cats go crazy. One will attack the blanket (and whatever furniture/person happens to be under it) and the other will snuggle into it and lick until he is getting big furry blobs of blanket fuz in his mouth.

Our too, same progression. And then they upchuck.

ditto...ditto...DITTO!

I work in a call center. You know the lovely non-intrusive prision cubicals. And why on earth a grown man that sits diagonally behind me decides to stip down to his boxers at midday to change into his "play clothes" instead of going to the bathroom which is literally less than 45 seconds away from him...is BEYOND ME!

And I thought a box full of "chill" was hilarious!

Man, I''m glad my call center days are done. I mean, I''m sorry....my customer experience days are over. Blah.

exciting!

Are you having any issues with it? I''ve read of a lot of reported issues, which both my fiance and I are not having. They both are working flawlessly, but again, we''ve only had them since wednesday!

 

[gemgirl]

I''m looking at my furbabies and I still can''t believe what my husband told me when I was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago. My younger dog, my sweet little Jack Rat Bella, sat on the stairs staring at the front door for the first three days and nights that was I away, just waiting for me to come home. After 72 hours of no sleep, my husband gently scooped her up, placed her in her crate, closed the door and locked her in to force her to sleep. I got all teary when he told me that. I really love them to pieces.

 

[that_someone_special]

aww

pets are so special!!! They really do give unconditional love

Why is it that I don''t itch ALL day, then when I lay my head on the pillow and get nice and comfy, I get itchy?!?!

No, not yet. LMAO, but I went from just the basic 3G to this, so my skirt is blown up by this! The resolution is AMAZING. Last night we were at Bingo, no I am not 60, but there were a ton of us that all have them and we were all just like little nerds playing with our phones.

So, Bingo. Someone brought on of those vuvuzela things last night. I am not sure why but we couldn''t stop laughing. It was probably the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. They are actually pretty awesome in the singular sense.

swedish, I absolutely LOVE you''re new avatar! They are so incredibly cute!

They do, they give us endless amounts of unconditional love and affection. I love that I still get mugged every morning when I come out of the bedroom to give them breakfast. I can just read the little balloon over their heads "yay, she''s still here!" jumpjumplicklickwigglewigglewagwag.........

I got my new (interim) AVC today. It is unbelievable. Its a 1.43 L/VS2 and I cannot get over how beautiful it is. I will do a full review thingy on SMTB when I can get proper pictures taken. It has opened up a whole new world of colour to me. I am so happy I could cry/jump up and down/shop for more

!!

Thank you fellow diamond lovers for understanding my joy!

 

[dragonfly411]

my ears have pressure on them. It is to the point it hurts. It is driving me crazy. I don''t know what is causing it. I''m not congested. I don''t show any other signs of sickness.... but omg...my ears.

 

[susimoo]

DF

Get to a doctor asap!

I have suffered with my ears since I was about 2 and have had many surgeries. What my experience has taught me is if they are sore there is a problem. These types of problems very rarely sort themselves out. Save yourself some sleepless nights and get them checked out! Sending you hugs!
