I am loving the weather in Tampa bay but I am definitely hating the pollen!!!

Sneezing + stuffed/runny nose for 2 days now. Can someone please just put me out of my misery?!

 

[VRBeauty]

I''m down with the crud.

I was able to keep down jello so I''m on the upside, and slept pretty much all day so it''s not feeling too bad. The only bad part really is that I still have to take care of the chores and errands I had planned to take care of yesterday and today.

 

[zoebartlett]

I hope you feel better soon VR!

 

[VRBeauty]

Thanks Zoe -- I''m definitely feeling better today.

And, having slept through much of the past two days and nights... I should have plenty of energy to tackle those chores!

If the parentals don''t want to give us anymore money financially, fine, we''ll be fine. But I wont sit here and listen to you tell me I live too extravagant of a lifestyle when we don''t leave our apartment except to go to work and our only expenses aside from bills are gas and food (which are also kind of necessary

). Especially coming from someone who just bought their wife a brand new impala, goes out multiple times during the week and throws money away on anything they please.

 

[packrat]

Smurf, sucks to hear that doesn''t it? Mine go gambling all the time, will drive 2 1/2 hours to gamble for a few hours and drive 2 1/2 hours back...and then I have to listen to a rampage on the gas prices and how someone can''t guarantee she''ll be able to afford to drive 10 miles to town to watch my kids for 4 hours once a week. But they''ll drive 10 miles to town 3 times a week to get milk or have coffee with friends.

It feels like role reversal doesn''t it!! We are the sensible ones whilst they are the nonsensical ones!!

 

[packrat]

I think part of it is they just don''t perceive things the way we do, and don''t look at the full picture. They compare our situation now to theirs 30 years ago, and that''s not even close to apples to apples.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

Maybe they are referring to us allowing ourselves to order pizza once a month, and even with a coupon it''s only about 10 dollars! Ugh, how frustrating. At least now I don''t have to think about what they''ll think of everything I do in my life just because they were holding money over our heads.

If a person is put on Ritalin and after weeks, the laundry is still not caught up, the house is a general disaster, AND boxes from a move made over a year ago are still overflowing the office closet, does that mean the person doesn''t have ADD (or ADHD - what ever it is called)?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

He then proceeded to send an email about budget cuts or something under obama which I found to be pretty inappropriate, like he is trying to rub it in our face almost and when I responded asking him not to emails with subject matter like that until we figure things out he started stomping his feet and throwing a tantrum and sent an email to both dh and i asking us not to email him anymore

 

[April20]

DH insisted he wanted a bike so he could go riding with me. He hasn''t been on a bike in nearly 30 years. I tried to talk him out of it because, frankly, I really like my bike time. But he really wants to do it with me, so how in the world can I say no to that?? We got it today, it''s a great bike, and I really, really hope he rides it.

I picked up 4 new massage accounts yesterday. I might end up with six if the one girl wants her broodmares done, and we''re trading massage for barrel racing lessons. I''m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I start today!

You''re a massage therapist? When can you be in MA? I could rally use one...or are you talking about massaging horses?

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Smurfy, I don't see how your father and mother buying a new car has anything to do with you. Actually, the way I see it is you're upset that they're spending their money on themselves and not on you. I've said this before and I'll say it again, you're an adult. Any help your parents give you financially, while a blessing, is a gift. Gifts, and financial support from parents are not obligatory and should not be expected or demanded. If you're annoyed with them commenting on how you're spending your money, don't accept any financial help from them. As long as they're contributing to you paying off your debt and expenses then yes, they do have a say in how you're spending your money. Yes, in theory how you spend your money is your business, but the same goes for them. They can spend their money on what and who they want; but they also have a right to know how you're spending the money they give you.

Cut the cord now.

Today is a good day. I have a job interview!

Also, I love when people say things so I don''t have to.

No, not necessarily.
Ritalin is a stimulant that is prescribed for people with ADHD to help with focus and attention, but it doesn''t suddenly make them finish their uncompleted tasks.

I love NOLA.

Best weekend getaway in a long time. Hooray for daydrinking.

Point taken. I have always been thankful and let them know that we appreciated any help given. Although, as many posts on pricescope, you don''t always know the details of the whole story and I am not going to go into any details here being that it upset my parents. Most of that just came out in frustration, I was more just upset about the joke email sent. I did, and still, thought it was inappropriate. I did apologize for saying anything that may have hurt their feelings though.
