Aren't the Duggars tax-exempt since they run a church out of their home? (They used to, anyway...I remember that from seeing the show when she still only had 15 or 16 kids.)

I feel like there are so few threads started lately. Boo.

Elle...so why don't you start more topics? your topics have always been very interesting

Hmmn..that would make sense. I think that Josh Duggar owns his own used car dealership. His website also says he has a political consulting firm. That's totally weird, cause he doesn't seem to qualified, but I do have to give him credit for running and maintaining his own small business.

Please do not quote trolls or other posters who come to cause trouble. It takes much longer for me to remove their offending post(s) when many people quote their initial post.

Please just report and ignore. These type of people want to get a rise, and they will keep coming back as long as they get a rise out of PS members.

Thank you!

This TV is turning into my worst nightmare.

I'm lacking creativity lately!

Dragonfly, what's up with the tv? Sounds like this could be interesting!

Our flat screen died during the Yankees playing game 6 of the World Series last fall. It's not repairable and we haven't had good reason to replace it yet. I'm kind of happy about it, though...without a big flat screen we spend less time watching t.v. now.

SO bought a flatscreen from a "friend" for a rock bottom price. Turns out there's a REASON it was rock bottom. We got it home and couldn't get it to turn on. We got a universal remote, nothing. We got a remote MADE FOR IT, nothing. The standby light at the bottom comes on but nothing else. Yesterday we sent it to a repair center (fixing could still make it cheaper than buying one new we think). The power source where the cord plugs in is bad. Guy wants to charge 350 bucks!!!! I've been on the phone (at work) ALL DAY back and forth with the repair guy and SO. WHY SO can't just PICK UP THE PHONE and call the guy himself I don't understand other than him saying "he's foreign and I can't understand him as well as you can" SO WHAT??? So I call LG back, and they say that the piece comes WITH the power chord if we order the power chord. But the power chord is only 6.50 with them? Doesn't seem likely to me, but it's cheaper than 350, and if we get it and it doesn't work at least we aren't out 350 right?

I HATE USED TVS
Never again.


ETA I'm really not mad at SO on this, I think he truly can't understand the guy. I'm just frustrated with this stupid TV.

 

[princesss]

I hate ninja bees. Or ninja wasps. Or whatevertheheckitwas that stung me this morning. Owwwwww...

 

[monarch64]

I have a ninja but it's not a bee.

DF--if it's any consolation, I think S's was used, too. He got it from some Tronix electonic goods superstore with super low prices. Mm-hmm....you get what you pay for, esp. with electronics, imo.

I just have to say- I just made the best freakin' lasagna I have ever tasted!!!

 

[dragonfly411]

I'm starving... but nothing seems appatizing. I just drove around for half an hour looking at food places. Then it struck my fancy to get some bubble tea, but the one place that had it had a huge line. So I left. Then I cried. I'm hungry. I don't want anything. I have no one to eat with right now. And I'm having the first day of girl week of my month. Am I crazy for crying that I'm hungry and alone and can't find anything to eat?

 

[ladypirate]

I feel like I have been such a PS slacker--I feel guilty for not getting around to making threads for a couple of new pieces of jewelry and our wedding/honeymoon photos, so I have been avoiding posting. Bah. I am a bad PSer!

Nope, you're not crazy at all. I've had those days too.

 

[dragonfly411]

Indylady - thanks, glad to know I'm not crazy.

I still want bubble tea.

I've felt this way before. It's awful. It gets worse for me if I get too hungry and then I get angry. Or hangry as someone I know calls it (hungry + angry).

No, you're not crazy. I can understand because i'm sure I have period days that make me feel like i'm crazy too..... Where do you get bubble tea? Most of the places I knew about closed (around here) and I don't know where else to find it!

 

[dragonfly411]

April - I think the crying stemmed from being Hangry. Or Being Hangrustrated. Hungry, angry and frustrated.

 

[Indylady]

Bahahahah! Hangrustrated! I'll have to use that one.

 

[dragonfly411]

I finally got my bubble tea.


Now I want it again. Sigh.

I told a friend, you'd think I was preggo. I don't even generally drink the stuff. I think the heat is getting to me. I've been insanely hungry too, but half of the time I can't find anything I want.

I'm drinking lots of water... what gives?!

Just posting to say that I'm sort of loving life right now. My job suddenly became much less busy, allowing me more PS time DH and I are thinking of heading to Scotland for 10 days in a couple of weeks. I have an interview today for a job I think I'd like and is a significant step up in my career. DH and I talked about TTC this weekend and we are both excited about it being right around the corner (depending on whether I get this job). We're loving the new house. I just feel like a lot of exciting things will be happening in the next several months, which is great, but I'm also really happy with everything happening right now.

 

[dragonfly411]

NEL - SCOTLAND?!!!!!!!! I am jealous.

 

[random_thought]

I wish my boss wouldn't treat me like an f-ing moron for doing some minor thing wrong (ie not scanning fast enough, etc). I wonder how he would feel if I treated him the same way. Jerk.

 

[princesss]

I need to plan things out better.

Today I got sent home early because my boss is a psycho with an anger management problem. I got sent home for not answering the phone professionally enough whilst other people remain who have lost the company thousands of dollars. i.e. I have applied for 4 new jobs since I got home today because I am so f-ing sick of working there. Whilst freaking out at me, numerous people in the company witnessed and defended me including the owner telling him he needed to calm down. However, I am a private contractor he hired to help with his work load so there is not a whole lot to be done by higher ups. i.e. I am probably screwed. FML

 

[dragonfly411]

RT - Good luck job hunting!
