Today was a day I needed to come home and get a cocktail in me asap. I dealt with a frustrating family who showed up 2 hours late (and I couldn't leave until they came) only to find out they didn't actually have means to pay for their mother in law to stay in the nursing home. I mean, honestly? And they acted as tho it was my fault they didn't know...they told ME they were private pay! Grrrrrrrrr!

Time for a Fat Tire. Did you end up admitting them in the end?

I WISH Fat Tire was around here. I couldn't admit her with no payor. I felt bad, I mean, she had been denied by insurance, denied on the appeal, so family said to me, "well, then we will have to bring her in private pay and apply for medicaid." So they got there at 6:45pm, and I got to the part where I needed to collect the money and they said, "oh, we can't pay a full month up front." I said, "can I ask what you were expecting to pay today then?" And she says, "I really don't know."
So to make it even better, I said we could take her the following day if someone came in to apply for medicaid, and the son then says, "well, ill try to make it." Well, if its THAT urgent you get her admitted, then I think you all better figure something out!

Last night I had my @$$ grabbed by a guy my friends and I ended up calling Creepy Hobo Manson Jesus. Other than that I had a really fun night.

I bought a box of Cliff protein bars, thinking they were full sized bars. I opened them this morning to realize they are in fact mini bars. Here I thought I had gotten a great deal of 18 bars for 11 dollars.

It was definitely weird. This guy kept standing right in front of me, and when I moved to the side to stand next to my friend and see the stage, he slowly stepped next to me and grabbed my butt really gently. I turned around and said, "NO! None of that!" and he kind of smiled and said, "Who do I look like?" (not confrontationally, but really...serenely) I laughed in his face because my first reaction was Charles Manson, but I have a feeling he was going for Jesus. Honestly, the guy was drugged out of his mind, so I just went and stood on the other side of my (male) friend and pretended he didn't exist. A few minutes later and he disappeared into the crowd.

Princess - ew.... but glad he went away.

bwhahahahahha...well, princesss at least he only grabbed your buns and didn't refer to himself as 'daddy' to your dog. Enter my creepy stage 5 clinger. LOL. Regardless, being molested by Jesus does leave room for serious damage. LOL, next time just do what I do when approached/molested by unwanted or bibical characters- just yell out " I need an adult- adult needed" while pointing or raising your hand. And this also opens a great opp for making that hot guy in the room feel like a hero- if you don't do the 'adult' suggestion, try running over to said 'hot guy' in the room and be like, 'hey babe, there you are'- they usually get it and you usually get a date. I mean, really? Its win/win.

GG- LMAO at you referencing 'he who shall not be named'.

ROFLMAO! "I need an adult!" Nobody would have heard me last night, but I'm definitely going to hold on to that idea. Hahahaha. Love it.

LOL, yeah, people usually get a kick out of that. One time a guy hit on me and then immediately looked at me and said 'that was stupid, huh?' I was all 'Good thing I am not judging you...outloud'. HAHAHHAHAHA. I am evil.

I feel like you and I could be trouble if we ever managed to hit the bar together.

I GOT AN APARTMENT!

Am I going mad or has Kenny disappeared?

I can't find any posts more recent than 30 September... And when I click on his name, I get redirected to the Knowledge Base.

I really miss his wit.

Is he just taking a break to play with his new diamonds or have I missed something?

I think we need to test this theory.

I really want my horse rideable, but I am completely incapable of getting him to learn forward cues, and I think he gets more frustrated than me, even though he's the one just standing there playing stupid and not moving forward. I envy all the people who get to go ride their horse all day, and I can't ride mine. Then I feel guilty that I don't ride him b/c he is costing me and my family money. But I also don't have the extra cash flow to pay for a trainer, and neither does my family, nor do they want to invest in it b/c they don't see me out riding, which leads us into this vicious circle b/c I feel like I can't ride because of the above.

I love having a new apartment to decorate. I can't wait to move in!

I have never lost a package, although I've only sent about five international package and this was the first package I sent in a Flat Rate Box!!!... Lesson learned Sorry just had to vent!

 

[Strawdermangrl]

Just bit my lip so hard that it made me cry. Another reason I need a helmet, bib and constant adult supervision.

It's really disappointing to get a friend request from a cute guy and look at his profile and see "Eliterate" under "Favourite books".

Ooooh, that is scary! I try to get paper cut outs in the same size/shape as my pictures and put them up so I can arrange them before I drill any holes.

I need to start packing soon. I really, really, REALLY hate packing.

 

[dragonfly411]

Good lord! I just got my acceptance letter for Grad school and I was looking through the registration/tuition info... So expensive!!! It's almost not even worth it for me to obtain a grad degree because my pay won't reflect the large amount of money that went into it, but unfortunately with teacher, you have to continue education in order to keep your teaching certificate.

So I have a question if this would bother anyone or not. I don't want my own thread bc it's not a huge deal, but I am bothered. I'm in Canada now living with my FF and his brother has a serious gf (of like 7 yrs he's buying a ring right now) and he's gone at the moment. However his brother still lives at home (when he's in town) as does he gf. They live about 1.5 hrs from her college and bc this semester is crazy difficult for her and because classes start so early, she requested to stay at our place 2 nights in the beginning of the week so her drive is only 15min instead of 1.5 hrs morning and night (she doesn't get out of class til late). We said sure and gave her the green light bc we have a 2 bedroom place and it's nbd. However I'm running into a couple of issues that aren't huge, but they do bother me.

First is we went to the states for a week, meaning I had to give her my keys so she could stay here while we were gone. We didn't return until late and when I walked in there was a pot on the stove that still had food in it and she was on her computer in the livingroom watching something and doing something on there. I proceed to rinse out the dish and we tell her we are going to get some food. I thought bc she saw me rinse the pot that she would clean it before we return and then retire to the room so we could have some space bc we had just gotten home from a long trip but upon our return the pot was still dirty (not a huge deal) and she didn't go to her room for another hour or so (okay, fine, annoyed, but nbd). Oh, and there was opened hotdogs in the fridge. I HATE hotdogs! Not in a ziplock or anything. That bothered me too, but again, nbd.

This week I opened the door to the room (also the office) and the bed wasn't made. Nbd as she was sleeping in it again that night, but I thought it was kinda weird that as a guest she didn't make her bed. Whatever I let it go. However last night she ate hotdogs (yes, plain hotdogs and ketchup in a bowl, we offered her some of our homemade pizza which she had a slice of too) and when I went to do dishes this morning there was the bowl, ketchup and all, next to the sink. Now, I have NO ISSUES doing the dishes, I have online classes and not much else to do, but I've taught my FF how to rinse out dishes and I've seen her rinse off dishes at his parents house, so I know she does it. That bothered me too. I'm not going to say anything to her because she's a doll and I love her to death, but these little things really bother me. As my SO put it, we agreed to let her stay here two nights, not live here for 2 nights. It's only until Dec. so I'm just going to suck it up and not say anything, but SO is bothered by some things too (her not hanging out in her room on her computer and doing it in the livingroom all night) but we love her and it's really not THAT big of a deal, but it does bother us some. What would you do?

Princess: Congrats on the new place! I hope getting everything unpacked isn't to difficult!

Drangonfly: YAY! I love horses! One of my fav book series when I was in middle school was Heartland. I think it has a show now but I don't watch it.

D&T: I'm so sorry about your package. Being in Canada I usually have everything shipped to my dad in the states, however on a bistro buy I had the lady ship it international flat rate envelope and the tracking stopped at Jamaica, NY. It showed it going though there for 2 weeks. I finally called and they said that's as far as it would be tracked bc after that the tracking doesn't work anymore. Well, it never showed up. It was only a 57.00 buy and the seller was kind enough to refund my money, but when I read the international shipment policies I found that even IF you insure the package (and for USPS you can't on flat rate international envelopes) it doesn't cover the cost of lost items such as watches, gold, etc. so even if she could have insured it, it wouldn't have covered. Needless to say I never got my ring (which was a 2mm YG benchmark wedding band size 4) and whoever stole it probably won't even see 10.00 at a pawnshop for it. I was really disappointed bc it's hard to find rings in my size at such a good deal, but you live and you learn. I won't be shipping international anymore. I'll only sell things when I know I can carry them to the states and ship from there. I'm sorry about your package, I hope it wasn't to expensive!

Redrose, you need to stop thinking this girl can read your mind and just set out your expectations. I think it's a little much to dictate what kinds of food she can eat (since she's paying for it herself) and whether or not she makes her bed when she's going to be sleeping in it that night. Yes, I think it's fair to ask that she do her own dishes and make the bed before she leaves for the week, but I think you need to let go of the rest of it. Just sit down with her and your FF and outline what is expected in your house, and go from there. It doesn't have to be a confrontational conversation, just a quick, "Hey, we're so happy to help you out, and I know we were out of town when this started, so we just wanted to cover the house rules really quickly because we think it'll make sure things go smoothly for all of us," should do it.

I'll probably just let all of it go because it doesn't really bother me all that much, just enough that I notice it and think that I wouldn't have done it that way. As far as the food goes, I don't care what she eats as long as she rinses out her dish (I mentioned hotdogs because it wasn't packaged properly and because it stuck out because I hate hotdogs). I don't have anything better to do during the day, so a few extra dishes is fine. As far as the bed goes the only reason I think it should be made both days is because its also SO office. So, if he needs to go in there the beds all messed up and it isn't as nice for him. I'm going to talk to SO about it tonight when he gets home and see what he says. He'll probably say the same things I did and we'll just let it go. I was just wondering if it was unusual for someone who's a house guest to behave in this manner or not? I'm usually a disorganized and messy person, but when I'm at other peoples homes I make sure to pick up after myself. I just thought it was proper etiquette, but perhaps not? Thanks for the advice princess, I just thought I'd ask and see what others think. It doesn't upset me or make me angry, just makes me go hmmm.
