the daisy rules
- Oopsie Daisy
- Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins* Them's the rules...all of them. Have fun!
do something good

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 405 Newer› Newest»Kristin, You are right about it being scary to even answer the door. I have a security screen on my door that stays locked all the time now. There was a home invasion robbery a few weeks ago not far from my house in broad day light! Two grandparents home with two littles. Everyone was ok, but this was a pretty upscale neighborhood. Makes you not want to go to the door even for the girl scout cookies.Well that might be pushing it:P
Suz- Don't miss the girl scout cookies! Nothing is worth that! :D
Robin - They used to work together and they would carpool and the entire time it was like, "Look here's a book you should read." And "Did you know that . . ." Always handing him tracts and different materials. And then he would say that he's getting flack for even carpooling with Travis because of the worldliness of us. He took his kids and went fishing with Travis and the boys a couple of times, but we don't talk to him all that much now. I never met his wife because she wouldn't associate with us because we weren't a "peep". Travis used to laugh at the hypocrisy because he would have no problem "associating" with him at work to go to lunch or different things like that. The funniest part though, was when Travis suggested he work on July 4th & New Years because he doesn't really celebrate holidays. His friend was quite offended.
RiM- I didn't take it as defensive :) I meant that, according to Belgian law, JW is not a religion but a sect. This status changes a lot of things in terms of liability. There have been trials for extortion of money, emotional abuse/harassment, etc. involving the JWs.
(I hope I'm not offending you because I don't mean to)
Corinne, What is Belgium's take on Scientology? I think it is banned in Germany.
Darn. I am going to go take a nap right when we are getting to Scientology. I'll definitely have to catch up later!
No, ma'am, Corinne, you most definitely aren't, and that's very interesting, and certainly not something you're ever told about when you are one!
Lindsay - I can totally buy every single thing you said. My ex-inlaws will have nothing to do with anyone who isn't JW because they're "worldly" and that includes family members. But if said family member has something that will benefit them - say a piece of equipment, or something they want to borrow - suddenly those rules don't apply and it's all "family". They also don't associate with "worldly" people because of their lack of morals and all, you know. But see no issue with (literally) being drunk every night, fighting with each other to the point he has held her head under the water in the hot tub, or doing whatever legal finagling they can in business dealings whether it's entirely ethical or not. But by golly, they stay away from those damn worldly people! lol.
I went to school with a lot of mormons. Once they found out my father was a minister we were not allowed to play together anymore. As I child I didn't get that. Then all hell broke loose when my father wrote a book on cults and included mormonism.
Your father wrote a book on cults? What's it called? That's very interesting.
At the top of my google pane:
BraveHeart Women - BraveHeartWomen.com - Inspiration in Action! Try the Only Social Network for Empowered Women.
Did anyone else see MckMama tweeted @grammiediaries? Any idea what THAT'S all about?
Liza is posting lyrics!
I think it was cults, christianity and its distortions. He wrote it in 70 something. At the time his church was just south of san fran, the high school and college kids were getting caught up in haight ashbury and cults. It's basically what he learned about the various religions from his experiences getting people out.
Hey CM! How are you?
WOW! GM and JM at it again. Interesting.
I went out (pretty briefly) with a Mormon guy who was pretty strict in his beliefs and I guess thought he would convert me. He worked at a copy shop or something but played in a bar band at night - wrote me a song (Awwwww) and all, but eventually he and my mom butted heads over religion and got into a big tangled argument and at that point I was done. Didn't want my religion (even way back then ) and didn't want in to one that seemed just as skewed, but in a different way, either.
Good, busy. Moved this last weekend, no internet at the house until Friday. :(
Kristin, what did you mean 'at it again?' I missed something.
Oh JM & GM were in bed with that giveaway awhile back - just thought they might be in bed again.
Krisin - watch out, they may sue you for suggesting they are in business together!
Hahaha, really?! Oh brother, that woman, GM, is absolutely fucking crazy. The end.
Kristin, oh you know those two are still in bed. For the mutual cause of the all mighty dollar.
CK.lol.
Or they might sue you for insinuating they are lesbians :)
Does anyone know who RedHeadRiter is on twitter or blog frog?
Poo on you Kristin. For making me go read JM's blogspew. And for the image of GM and JM in bed together.
wondering the same thing, she has started following me.
CK, I second that!
sorry CK!
School update: Principal pal called me at 1:23 and left message. I called back at 1:25 and she's still in a meeting.
Interesting - she looks like a fan of GM's on twitter. She's not following my blog but apparently my bf account. Which I don't really know why I created in the first place since I don't actually use it. So I wondered why she would follow me there. Weird.
Sandy - I was just about to send the dogs after you :) Hope you hear from the principal soon.
Lindsay, I don't know who she is but she is somehow following me! Eww.
Okay. This. Is. Strange.
She is following me on BF too - and I'm not sure why or how I started that profile either.
I'll admit that GM had me fooled for a while - hanging my head in shame.
She
May
Want
You
Pot
Head
Falker
Well, everybody wants me :p
It's just kind of odd. I also find it odd that one of JM's supporters follows my blog. I don't necessarily ever bad mouth her, but I hang with some people who don't care for her, so I was wondering if she followed me by mistake!
Has tube steak arrived yet?
Robin - my mom just called, she's running errands for me today and your package is in the mail :)
The tube steak landed last night. Son of the steak picked him up from the airport. Let the fun begin!
Actually, now I feel like a heel because Travis told me last night that his dad's aorta is dissecting again. I feel bad for saying not nice things about him sometimes. I guess he told the docs he won't have the surgery done again. I don't know that I understand that. He's still in his 60's. It's not like he's in his 80's and declining surgery.
Lindsay - I had to read that like 3 times before it made sense :)
Sorry about his health - I hope it turns out okay.
You didn't say mean things about him Lindsay - you just mentioned his desire for tube meats and reduced dental rates. Don't be so hard on yourself!
Margaret - I can't wait! This means I will now have to quit being a slacker and get a blog post of my own up now.
I hope he changes his mind about treatment - 60s is young!
Suz- Scientology has the same legal status as JW in Belgium - they're not a religion :)
GM & JM in bed together? Ewwwww. But somehow they might be soulmates. :P
At least I didn't say anything bad on the internet. In private, that's another story!
I actually hope they won't go to Mexico for dental work any more. I am worried sick they'll be caught up in a drive by. I was watching the Today show this morning and some 2600 people have been killed due to drug cartel violence. I can't believe anyone would want to travel there, let alone let their college kids go for spring break!
Kristin - oops! Sorry that does sound a little weird, doesn't it?
Someone mentioned See See a bit ago. Did you know she has a "food blog"? True story.
Robin - I can vouch for that. I checked it out a looooong time ago. Man, that seems like another lifetime :p
Well, it's new to me and the wounds are fresh. :nods: I feel like I need to shower again.
Right RiM - I see her on MWoP and makes me feel dirty.
Lindsay - you have me wondering about this RedHead Riter girl....
I too am concerned about the happenings over in Mexico. I read yesterday about the couple who were killed after returning from a birthday at the consulate - she was expecting and also had a child. The child was in the backseat - and unharmed. If your FIL goes to Mexico - tell him to stay away from White SUV's. CRAZY shit!
is she the one with the naked avatar?

Margaret said: “I may be wrong but I think it's non-PC who is mentally abused by JM.” Margaret, AP and Shannon feel like you do. (AP’s Israel’s secret girlfriend, you know.) I think RV’s a giant douche canoe.
Robin said: “Christy - yes, first b-day post JW, and no, they don't celebrate b-days. Or anything else, so it's been a year of firsts for me.” Wow, Robin! How exciting that you get to celebrate your first birthday! But the other stuff, about your ex telling your girls you are going to die, and how JW’s hound people, makes me really really pissed. Taiya, where do you live? This *almost makes me glad I live in the Southern Bible Belt. Because the non-Southern Baptist religions don’t really have that good a foothold and don’t do a whole lot of recruiting. Or either I’m on a “don’t bother” map myself. If I get JW’s on my porch, I plan to say, “Oh, I worship Satan,” and then put my fingers up for horns and flick my tongue like a lizard. I bet that’d make ‘em go fast!!
Mormons will weed for you? Lordy, I might have to call them! My flower beds are all weeds!
Robin, you used to go door to door too? Yikes!
Kristin - I just thought the RHR thing was odd. And I don't even know how to find my own profile on BF. And I don't post *anywhere. Ever. And dumb question, but do you work for a contractor? Just curious.
RiM- Noooo. SeeSee has a food blog?
I still can't get the pictures from her other blog out of my mind. I'm traumatized.
margaret - yes, that's her. in all her naked glory. sorry, i've given up caps for this post.
Liza is cut and pasting from martindale hubbell - she needs therapy!
At least in my avatar I'm wearing a pink sugar coating!
Lindsay - I don't know how to see my profile on BF either. I *hardly ever post - unless CK or Shannon make me do it :)
I guess we are a contractor. We install commercial playgrounds and water parks.
Ugg...I hate contracts.
Ah ha! I was just curious when you said you hated bid day. I'm nosey like that!
Margaret - yes, you have the decency to wear pink sugar and cover your lady business with marshmallow fluff. Or whipped cream. I can't really tell from the picture.
Kristin - There are people following me on BF too and I have posted there...ONCE! Why would anyone want to follow me, that is beyond me ;-)
I work with somebody dumb. Just sayin'. Grrr. And her name is not Kathy (just in case Kathy comes upon this blog).
lol Lindsay!
I was just imaging the day when RV's fans and JM's fans go at it - it's going to be like medevil times with lots of bible verse slinging, granola eating and baby wearing.
...and hummus slinging.
breast milk drinking
all at the splash pad
School update: my concerns are being investigated.
M - barf. barf. barf.
Dare I say it, but when it comes down, I think I'll find myself on team RV. If he gets a job. That's the caveat.
Sandy - was it lip service, or do you really think they'll investigate? I sure hope so.
Will somebody please tell me I do not want the pecan pie on the conference room table?
I wonder what the job situation is like in his area - I know there isn't much going on here for contractors.
Definitely lip service and NOTHING will be done as usual. They so need to apologize to C. My poor girl hates herself so much as is. In 1st grade she told me she wanted to die and then they go and do this. And yes the school is aware of that fact that she says she wants to die. I hate that fucking school.
SW If I get JW’s on my porch, I plan to say, “Oh, I worship Satan,” and then put my fingers up for horns and flick my tongue like a lizard. I bet that’d make ‘em go fast! OMG, I just spit diet coke all over my keyboard!LOL.......
Honestly, I don't know. Hubby is a commercial contractor and things were lean for a couple of months, but things are starting to look up (fingers crossed). I think residential is a different story, though.
I took a piece of pie. And it is good.
Why - why do people have to be idiots?
Hey ladies! Just stopping in to say a big Happy Birthday to SW!! What a fun Birthday to have. You must have done some serious damage in your early 20's!
Aw Sandy, I feel for you and Miss C. All little girls and big girls for that matter should love themselves!
Ok - I'm going to spend some time with my little friend before going to the concert tonight - happy st pats!
Ok girls, I am out for awhile. I got to go get some work done. BBL
Sandy - I am so very sorry. I dated a guy who's son was bipolar and used to always say he wanted to kill himself. It was awful. I HATED it. I tried to assure him that he was loved but he had real issues with his mom. His dad had custody of the 2 kids. He was in a school that catered to his needs and the dad would have to go talk to the counselors and his doctors on a regular basis.
I am so sorry.
Have a great time Margaret (at the concert & with C)
Sandy - I am so heartbroken for your C. What a rotten bunch of people who would make a *child feel that way about herself. I'm so sorry.
Lindsay, step away from the pie!
MLWB! Hi! And thanks for the birthday wishes! I've missed you!
Actually, you'd think I'd be a big St. Paddy's day partier, but I'm not at all. I dislike bars, and always have. And especially crowded bars. So I'm not sure I've ever been to a St. Paddy's day birthday party. I tried to get in to -- oh, what's the bar in New Orleans that has the hurricanes -- on my birthday when I turned 40, and waited for a l-o-n-g time for a table and then gave up. Pat O'Brien's.
Tonight's birthday dinner will be at a Mexican place, and I'll have a green margarita in lieu of green beer!
Sandy - I am so sorry about C, and I really hope the school takes an active interest, not just talk about it. (((hugs to you)))
Margaret - I hope you have a good evening!
Kristin - I have no answer about the idiots.
I'm heading up Team Israel! And psssst! Kaytie, I still don't mean the country. ;-) I claimed him first. Margaret, I agree with you about him, by the way.
“Oh, I worship Satan,” and then put my fingers up for horns and flick my tongue like a lizard."
Do you have a clue how badly I want to do this to someone now?
Sandy, I hate that damn school for y'all.
It was just a *little piece. I guess I'll have to skip dinner :(
Okay, lamb stew is in the oven. I just need to slice my cabbage to fry and make biscuits. I'm considering a nap.
I get along with the JWs around here (we have the same ones all the time). I struck a deal with them that if they don't knock and just slip The Watchtower in my door, I promise I will read every word of it. If they knock, I won't answer and I will throw The Watchtower away if they leave it. I guess they weighed their options and agreed.
Yes, but have you read every word? :-D
Oh, Sandy, I just read your comment about your daughter. :-( I'm so sorry and wow does that school suck.
"“Oh, I worship Satan,” and then put my fingers up for horns and flick my tongue like a lizard."
Do you have a clue how badly I want to do this to someone now?"
Do it for Miss Arse, AP. Then come tell us her reaction!!
<<--bought herself cupcakes (plural) as a birthday treat, so lives in a glass house
"Yes, but have you read every word? :-D"
I do. I said I would and I do. I put them in the bathroom!
SW, I'll have to wait until Miss Arse has the cataracts taken off or it just won't be the same.
Huh. Well, you've probably read more than I have in the last 15 years, and I was *supposed to be reading them all. lol.
FYI - I just trimmed my bangs with a dull pair of office scissors. Can I say mistake?
Lindsay - I would *never do something like that. Ever. ::avoids eye contact::
Sorry Lindsay :(
Why the F am I so freakin' tired? I could really just put my head down and take a nap?
Oh, and Lindsay - my mom pulled some pics out from when I was a baby and the pics of me in a body cast - awesome - made me think of my congenital hip sister :)
They *might be a little crooked, now. I was hovering over my trash can but there are still little hairs all over the desk. Oops.
Kristin - WAAAKE UUUP! Awww. I went through pics at my mom's the other day, but I didn't find any cast ones. I'll have to look and then we can compare notes :)
I had a plaster cast - and I think that was the only time I was ever able to do the splits.
Seriously, right? No splits for me. The other day in yoga, though, we worked on our hip flexors and I'm telling you, that hurt.
From MWoP - I had to giggle at this one -
danisse has left a new comment on the post "stream of consciousness":
"No where does the bible say that marriage is a battlefield."
I think that's in Benatar 3:16- Love is a battlefield
Benetar is one of my favorite books :p Kristin, you are funny, funny.
I just heard she's coming to Seattle on the radio literally 5 minutes ago.
MLwB- I don't know if you're still on but Nip/tuck's finale was a 'WTF' moment for me. Disappointing.
Oh, kristin - I saw it now. Well, you're still funny. And I wonder if we all know who Liza is. Hmmmm.
Oh, it wasn't me - it was someone on MWoP.
I didn't watch Nip/Tuck at all this season. I'm going to have to rent it when it comes out on DVD and just have a marathon. I missed it.
Lindsay- The season was just okay, not the best but okay. The finale, however? Nip/Tuck deserved so much better.
<<--used to worship at the church of Benatar
<<--annoyed because Robin ruined the word "worship" for all time and eternity
lol SW!
SW - LOL! My kids (6, 8 & 10) still worship there. They have "Hit me with your best shot" on their mp3 players. Makes me laugh.
SW- LOL :D
Lindsay- OMG. My sister could listen to that song 24/7.
I was a rock star for 15 minutes in high school when the band I played with won a talent contest. I was lead singer, hair braided like Bo Derek, and sang "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." Good times. (And that is all that some of my classmates remember about me from high school.)
Corinne - that song transcends time. They also really love Survivor's Eye of the Tiger.
SW - I love it! I always wanted to have a rock band. Still do.
Ugh! Some chick says that she had an affair recently with Sandra Bullock's husband. I soooo hope that's not true, but it probably is. Men are such freaking assholes!!!
I just read where Sandra Bullock pulled out of an overseas premiere - some assuming for family problems but not mentioning that. Where did you see that?
Eye of the Tiger - one of my all time favorites!
SW - that is awesome about the band!
Oh, I hope not. I really like her. That would be sad.
Wow, I just read about it on MSNBC. It sounds legit. The "tatoo model" who was supposedly having an affair with him said she didn't know he was married. Ummm. How do you *not know that Jesse James is married?
And now, I'm out. If I don't pop back in SW, I hope you have a fantastic birthday dinner.
And I *know it's tattoo. K bye :)
bye lindsay!
http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/03/17/michelle-bombshell-mcgee-internet-dominatrix-sandra-bullock/
That's so disturbing to me! I love love her, and loved him, until an hour ago. Did you see Golden Globe and Oscar acceptance speeches, and her mentions of him? Grrrrrr, I want to hurt him.
Stupid, stupid man.
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/03/17/2010-03-17_sandra_bullock_blindsided_by_hubby_jesse_james_affair_with_model_michelle_bombsh.html
This pic is better than the last one.
Sandy, not sure if you're still here I just got on and am catching up.
Do not accept lip service. Ask this question (in this exact wording):
How are YOU going to make this right?
And then they have to tell you what they are going to do. Specifically. Put it back on them. Don't walk away with "things will change".
And I fucking hate that school too.
and have them put it in writing and have her teacher sign it. I hope they make it right.
*really thinking of taking my Special Ed exam - there needs to be more advocates for children like Sandy's and not more pressure.
SW - have an AWESOME birthday dinner!
*see ya later ladies!
SW -- *I didn't ruin it! It was some broad on the BF who 'worships.' I just ran with it, as I am prone to do.
I <3 me some Pat Benatar.
I am worried about this whole Sandra Bullock thing if she's going to be single, since Kelly definitely has a thing for her. :nods:
My take on Mormons and JWs. (I was following this conversation earlier today while I was out):
JWs:
I have many JW relatives on my dad's side. They used to send people to my house (here and when I lived with my parents) who knew us by name. Persistent buggers. Sorry, but only firmly closing the door has any effect. My parents actually have (adult) godchildren who are now JWs only of course godparents don't exist for them, so they just refer to my parents as aunt and uncle. There is a younger one who is a goddaughter too, and she certainly has no problem accepting Christmas presents from my parents every year. The irony is not lost on me, but perhaps it is on her. They also don't like any mention of the Virgin Mary which we do sometimes as part of daily language in Portuguese, or the bless you which in Portuguese translates to "God help you" (Deus te ajude). I don't care, I'm Catholic all the time, even in the presence of JWs. No offense.
The birthday issue is (I believe)because Herod offered his daughter a birthday present she only had to ask for what she wanted. What she wanted was John the Baptist's head so Herod had him beheaded. Is this right?
Also they're not supposed to wear makeup? I don't know, maybe they're making that part up. But some of them do and quite heavily. I wear makeup too but my religion keeps its' nose out of that.
Mormons:
There is actually a Mormon temple not too far from where we live. And as far as I am aware, only (very young) men go door to door, wearing black mostly, and a knapsack. They seem to take "no" better than JWs. We have a Mormon couple who are friends of ours (kids friends in daycare) and once they invited us to their house. We had 1 kid each at the time I think. When we arrived, there were 2 of these young men there, and a table set for 4. Yes, you guessed it, my husband and I and the 2 young men were the only ones "having" dinner. With a sermon and a lecture on the side. I let it go on for a few minutes and then fought back. I ended with, yes, the Church certainly has its' faults and its' ugly history, and misogyny. What do YOU offer? Oh, women have no place at all in your "church"? They can't even teach children in your church? Only men can be elders? And only men can preach and go door to door? Now why the heck would I leave? My religion's older than yours too.
It went something like that but I *was polite. After they left I told our friends don't *ever do that again. I am curious about religions and they must have misunderstood my interest and questions to be a desire to convert to Mormonism.
They never tried that again, as that would have ended our friendship. But they come to our religious events (Baptisms and First Communions) and we've been to theirs (naming ceremonies, Baptisms). I very much enjoy visiting other houses of worship and I am respectful and do what I am expected to do as an outsider (sometimes participate, sometimes just sit since I am not of that religion and shouldn't participate). I expect others to do the same in my church.
You know?
Miss you to SW!
Enjoy your birthday dinner:)
Corrine,
Didn't it suck? It could have gone out with a bang, literally! Oh well. One less thing to DVR.
Hubby and I went to see Pat Benetar years ago. We were so close, we could see this little hole in the crotch of her pants. No lie. We crack up about it all the time!
FT -- I have to run, so I only got to skim your post, but that's so very interesting. I've never been taught that makeup is bad, but I know "modesty" is a word that's flung about quite a bit and there are rules (which I could never quite seem to follow) about things like dress if you go to a city for a convention or whatever - women should be in skirts (modest) no shorts, no capris, whatever. Men should not be in jeans, but dress 'slacks' and shirts, blah, blah, blah. This included my kids, and I'm sorry, but if I'm in central Washington in 110-plus weather, those kids are going to be in shorts, "modesty" be damned. @@
Anyway. I'll read the rest of it and comment, but I fully agree, be respectful of others' beliefs, but that's not what you;re taught as a JW.
Fan of Benetar - NOT a fan on Sandra Bullock - she went to my rival high school.
Oh, and FT, yes, one of the situations the JW's hold out as to why b-days are bad is the story with Herod. There's another one, but my feeble brain can't remember for now.
And I hope nothing I said earlier offended you about Catholicism, either. I am just feeling bitter with a capital B about all organized religion these days.
C is very peaceful today - her best friend from CA keeps calling and I have to tell her over and over again that C is dying :)
AP - I'm going to ask IM to start writing my blog for me. He needs work and I need content...
Margaret - I am sorry you are dealing with that and your friend.
With your friend, not with IM of the small penis.
FT -- ONe more thing as I'm thinking about all this and your comment about the Catholic church having its own history and faults and all, but the Mormons (and JWs) certainly don't have any lack of skeletons in the ol' closet, either.
FT, I'm really shocked that your mormon friends would do that to you! I mean, why not have dinner for six and let them casually bring up your salvation? That would seem to be a better marketing plan, wouldn't it?
back to get caught up :P
Ft well put on the JW and Mormon post. I admire the fact you stayed friends after the conversion attempt.
SW, hope you have a great birthday dinner, enjoy!
Going to go finish work and go home!
RiM: I don't recall reading anything you (or anyone) wrote that might cause me to be offended, no worries! I hope I didn't offend anyone either. Organized religions by definition I think are rigid because of course their are rules. I also don't like to be considered a buffet-Catholic where I pick the things I like. But I am not a one-size-fits-all Catholic, I don't think many people can be. And I'm good with that.
Re: makeup: yes, that modesty thing sounds about right, maybe that's why some wear it and some don't? Maybe a literal translation for some? Mormons dress modestly too and my friend doesn't wear makeup, I'll bet they have a similar "rule" about modesty.
PS: My JW relatives (2nd cousins) refused to come to my church wedding but did go to the dinner after. When their nephews got married however, they *did go to the church and sat in the back pew. They just sat there and whispered for an hour but I still do feel it was respectful of them to come in. They didn't have to kneel or pray or anything, which is what happened. Too bad my church wedding didn't merit such a sacrifice.
My father's aunt (a JW) died and when my father saw her body laid out he was shocked. They had lived in France at the same time (before immigrating to Canada) and he remembered the clothes she had on from that time. She was being cremated, apparently, and since JWs believe they are coming back (??) her family didn't want to use any of her good clothes to cremate her in because she would need them. Is this too literal a translation on my part? That was my understanding. Later, my dad's uncle remarried and there was some who said well when his first wife comes back, what will he do *then?
I'm not sure how literal the "coming back" part is though, but the Catholic family took it to be quite literal.
Talk to you later, RiM!
popping in to say hello :)
SW: I reread my post and I realize I made it sound like that was the first (or only) time we'd been to their house (by my writing, "one time..."). We in fact used to be at each other's houses quite a lot when their daughter + my oldest son were younger. Now not so much, you know as kids get older they stick with their own gender so it just kind of died off but we still consider them friends and they are good people.
So we *had been there for dinner before. So sure, dinner for 4 was surprising and enraged me on the spot, but I kept my mouth shut and let it play itself out. My husband was just bewildered and never said a word, he let me carry it, and I was glad to.
You're right, I wouldn't have rebuffed the idea so quickly if (1) I had been expecting other guests (I had not, since there never was) and (2) if the guests were "last-minute" and we had all just sat down together.
But it was clear what it was and I was *so pissed off. Not a good strategy, I agree. I was worried maybe they wouldn't be "allowed" to associate with us anymore after this failed conversion, and I was worried it would be tense after but it was if it never happened.
Also, this couple struggle financially and they have to tithe a certain amount of their pay to the Temple. I resent the idea of this, I can't tell you how much.
aww, the Jese James thing....I had no idea! bummer, I liked them together him and SB, not the tattoo model)
Happy Birthday SW!
Lots to catch up on - quick question - what did Lil' "Liza" Jane post on MWoP that the moderator deleted - early afternoon?
Benatar 3:16 was the funniest thing I heard today. My daughter even laughed.
CK - she was just being a grade A bitch - I have a better education than you and I am a lawyer - what do you do type comments.
Hi CK! I was wondering the same re: Liza on MWOP. But I don't know either.
Off to get dinner on the table, bbl.
Kristin - I read all that - but there was something else, worse? 12:00 pm - after she posted lyrics to Feelings.
Reading further - something about "Brie's" husband.
CK - you have mail.
Kristin - thank you!
School Update: still under investigation.
Kristin, there is a GREAT, HUGE need in the US for special ed teachers.
Ready for some great irony? I came home to an invitation to join the Witnesses as they celebrate the anniversary of Jesus' death on March 30th. Ha!
Sandy - you should totally use FT's phrasing. I like it!
LMAO - FB just suggested I add Bri J. as a friend...I almost put BJ up....sorry, I guess I'm a little immature but I'm giggling - The BJ!
Kristin I'm getting the same suggestion. She only has 6 friends- all mommy bloggers.
Sandy - I am so sorry. FT is right. Hold them accountable to an action plan.
Kristin - you would make an awesome spec. ed teacher!
Thanks girls! I hope so. I need to start studying - get the book first and then start studying. I'm thinking of taking the special ed test and then the secondary education exam.
Kristin, you would make an awesome spec. ed teacher. They are so needed.
Kristin, I agree that you would make a great special ed teacher. You are so positive and so good with kids! Do it!
Shannon, how was your final today?
Birthday dinner was fun. Low key. My work spouse's Mom and Granny are visiting him this week, and we went to a Mexican restaurant. His Mom and Granny got me a present - some catnip for my cats to plant in pots. When I got home, I put the bag with the plants in it on the living room floor, and I've been watching them fight over it ever since. They LOVE it!
SW, we called catnip loco weed. Our cat loved that stuff.
Glad you had a nice dinner.
Awesome CK!!
I had already thought about doing it and I tell everyone at job fairs that I am going to take the test - I just keep procrastinating.
LOL - watching cougar - and she is talking about wearing body parts - reminds me of...well you know what it reminds me of.
Yes Shannon - hope your test went well and good luck at your appt tomorrow.
I love this show - Cougar Town - hilarious!
Do it, Kristin. We will cheer you on!
SW - watching AI?
Hey ladies - I'm gonna go lay down.
Have a good evening!
Kinda watching it CK. I'm not crazy about the results shows. I tend to fast forward through them just to see who loses.
Night Kristin!
Kristin - as SG used to say (That would be Shirley Goodness NOT Shaun Groves), sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
Ewwww...mom!
Hi ladies :)
Just had some brats on the grill. Not very Irish, but they were tasty...with leftover sauerkraut from rueben sandwiches.
I'm living it up now, because we are supposed to have rain/sleet/snow this weekend. Yuck!
No spoilers, but I'm not happy about who it appears will be going home on AI.
Hi Bella! Sorry about the rain/sleet/snow forecast. I know you're ready for spring. Looks like we're going to have a nice one here, up to the 70's.
Bella, Tom Skilling said in the next five days, highs of 70 and a chance of snow. This sucks.
SW - Your birthday dinner sounds lovely. And perfect present!
Just walked in from dinner. Agreed, SW - not happy.
Hey ladies....went and took my final this morning. I am confident I passed it so that I will still have a passing grade for the class. Like I told my husband it now is what it is and there is no changing it.
I came home and relaxed for a while and even took a nap....I drove over 112 miles today round trip to take the damn thing LOL.
Then I gluttoned myself with more punishment contacting Universities inquiring about the transfer process. Figured I should start now since I have a year and I will be done with my transfer degree.
I am still excited about my appointment tomorrow, really hoping that the doctor is willing to help and from the sounds of things she is very very knowledgeable and should be able to answer all of my questions.
SW I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD A FABULOUS BIRTHDAY!!!!
Hope everyone is doing fabulous.
Kristin you should find out about the Special ED stuffs. I think that is one thing those special and wonderful kids need, good teachers that care.
Shannon - congrats with the Final. Huge relief to have that done and move on, isn't it?
Bella - I am planning Brats, too. My stomach is turned around after working so many nights. Think I will do some scrambled eggs with those brats :-D
Sandy, and you know Tom Skilling is the next best thing to God around here, lol! I am definitely going to enjoy the next two days, and then hunker down for the bad stuff.
Brats and scrambled eggs, Kaytie? That actually sounds good!
SW, you just go enjoy your nice weather with your old ass!!
Just kidding, kidding! :D
Kay it is wonderful :)
I got my math book for this next term, Math 111, funny thing is that a lot of it looks much easier then the last math I just did LOL
Bella I am sorry that once again the yucky weather has to show up for you. Sometimes some sunshine is really needed.
Shannon, it's really odd. I have noticed a trend of it being wonderful out M-F, then Sat and Sun are awful. I think it's a plot!
Bella, I wanted a Skilling Snuggie so bad. I love when we get bad weather and he gets all hyper and excited.
Skilling=God ::nods::
My Skilling is screwing with the weather. It's a conspiracy!
My=Maybe...what the hell am I smoking.
"I got my math book for this next term, Math 111, funny thing is that a lot of it looks much easier then the last math I just did"
That is even better! A bonus relief to a stressful Finals day.
Bella it has been just the opposite here...nice on the weekends and horrible for the week.
Kay it makes me feel a lot better. I really need a nice smooth easy term LOL
ruh roh....just found dh's stash of a huge bag of Salt and Vinegar potato chips. Must resist. I am a potato chip freak.
Salt and vinegar rocks, Kay! Go for it!
Bella, bite my old ass. ;-)
I failed :-D :::crunch crunch crunch::: Ahhhh!
Okay, this whole Kenya Compassion trip has been overblown, but today I read this post from one of the bloggers, whoever the dude is that runs "This Is Reverb".
I really like this guy, for some reason. He seems less fake. He got to meet the child that he sponsored just a few days before...remember this is the guy who told Compassion "no" about sponsoring a Kenyan child, because he didn't want to do it for the photo ops? Anyway, he did get to meet a child he and his wife decided to sponsor on the trip.
Seriously, Compassion is not right for me, but he seems so much more genuine than Mck, and he made me get thisclose to maybe, possibly sponsoring someday.
http://www.thisisreverb.com/2010/03/crying-on-the-phone-with-grandma.html#comments
Mck, you are doin' it wrong.
Bella - I have been enjoying the Reverb site. He is much more real and down to earth. Seems to be a compassionate person who truly wants to help. The Mckmania spiel is just that, a spiel.
Kaytie, it's not all about him. I think that is why I like it.
The Reverb is Pastor Ryan from PW's site. He guest blogs for her sometimes. He's way into cooking and does a lot of pasta dishes.
I'm out ladies. I gotta feeling I'm going to butting heads with the buttheads at school tomorrow. Spring break starts at 3:20 on Friday. C is heading down to FL with Don to visit the monster-in-law. Much need break for all of us.
Good luck with the buttheads, Sandy, and get a good night's rest!
Post a Comment
Yes, you said this...
