I don't think I want to be on that diet plan.

Ew I don't even know what's wrong with me. I just started crying a minute ago, luckily I made it to the washroom before the tears started coming down but I just got super sad all of a sudden and just had to cry. Once I did I felt better though. Odd.

((hugs))

You must have been processing something.

My rant of the day is employers who want to waste your time running a background/criminal check on you. HELLOOOOO I just got my background, foreground, middleground, highground, aboveground, belowground, and reach-around examined minutely by the most security-obsessed branch of your GOVERNMENT.

You think I have anything in my file that would exempt me from working at your little two-bit business that Homeland Security missed?!

Seriously. Where are their brains? Our EADs and Visas should be enough. We've already been certified squeaky-clean.

Either that or you're pregnant.

Congrats on the baby Sprailenes, That is SUPER good news!!!! Good job on breaking the news krikit!! Im off to the offtopic forum to make the thread dedicated to Sprailenes!!!

Thats what everyone is saying.

I can't keep my food down lately, I have been over emotional, and every other symptom. But we're VERY careful and I'm not "late" yet so ya.

But I don't feel pregnant and I am not trying to sound like an oddball or anything, but I just knew with my son, and I felt it. I ain't feeling it this time.

So I don't think I am. In fact I told my coworker I'd give her 100.00 if I was, which pretty much tells you that I am not. I'm not.

Nope.

That is AWESOME.

Everyone at my work is already teasing me.

"Oh did your baby like the lunch?"
"Oh hows the baby"

THERE IS NO BABY!



I'm gonna go piss on a stick tonight too.

Then I'm gonna frame it and say: "HA" to everyone here.

Omg my coworkers are going out to buy me a test

This is becoming a nightmare!!!

There is no effing way in hell I am gonna do this here at work. NOO WAY.

pee pee pee pee

Do it! Do it! Do it!

(I had no idea what the heck Flames was on about when I ventured into this thread and saw his last post. )

I will do it, I will wait until I get home to do it.

I don't think I have anything to worry about. I honestly think my hormones are just out of whack.

Do it NOW!!!! We have a virtual right to know!!!

Seriously. I was like "what the...?" and then I thought it was Eric.

This is hilarious!

Maybe not so much for you Sp, but for us

You all are hilarious!
Hahaha!

The best time for such a test is your morning pee.
Right Flames?!

We are standing by...

http://www.womens-health.co.uk/preg_test.html This is a UK site, but me thinks European women are very similar!! lol

I think it is time we start coming up with names for this new addition to the VJ Canadian community!!

Me thinks we should name the kiddo Sprainito. Tres Latin

Rufus Spraindito.

Rufus Severus Spraindito

Who is willing to host the online virtual baby shower??? I'll bring the Tim hortons

I'll host! As long as I'm not made virtual godmother. I hate kids.

I'll spring for the racy lacy underthings!

Wait, that might be the wrong kind of shower I'm thinking of ...

Yes, that's the kind of shower that got them into this mess.

My Mustang arrived two weeks early. Happy happy right?!

Well I left the shipping yard this morning and decided, its a beautiful day - I'll take the top down.

Top goes down like a champ. The car is dirty from shipping, so Chris suggests when I get home to wash her. Well I try to put the top up and nothing. Dead. The hydraulic engine that raises the roof is dead. Grabbed out the car warranty - and of course its only good for Canada and the lower 48 states.


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . . . . . . . . sigh.

My poor husband worked the night shift and is still tinkering with the motor. He's happy he has project I think.

Wait a sec... trying to process.. you moved to Hawaii AND you own a mustang? how exactly did you get dealt THAT deck of cards ? teee hee...

haha Wow I missed the last 3 pages of this amazing thing...

Nev- PEE NOW OR DIE!!

krikit and Len- FantASTIC name!

Catty-Hawaii and a mustang? Can we switch places pleaseeee?

No kidding. And a convertible at that. But not so good in the rain anymore.

My MIL is such a snob. She said nothing to me last night and I even tried to get her into a conversation or two, she asked my son how he was, asked my husband how he was. I just wanted to say: "Yea I'm fine too! Thanks for asking!"

But I am not longer trying with her, and before I did try hard. But last night if she didn't want to talk to me, that was fine I didn't want to talk to her. I have always tried to go above and beyond with her, she'll always find something wrong, she'll never be happy, and I have a hard enough time trying to please my own mom, I don't need to please this woman.

It's so weird, I often wonder how it is to be her because she seems genuinely unhappy most of the time. There's her husband, her son (My BIL), my husband, son and I, and we're all laughing and talking and there's her looking off somewhere else. It's your son's birthday lady! At least try to look like you're having fun.





I did, I responded in the other thread though. I was scared because of the drinks I had last Friday at the show.

Miserable people really bother me. It must be so hard to be so miserable all the time. You don't owe her anything Nev and she's been such an ####### to you!

Since the summer my dad (senior manager), HR and his bos (the director) have been getting anonymous letters from someone stating my dad has a strange relationship wtih his staff (ie. they are all females and he is too touchy-feely), that the director doesn't know what she's doing, etc.

My dad is a SUPER happy go-lucky guy that is my biggest support in life. I'm definitely my father's daughter and when I left home for university it was really hard for my dad to deal with it. My mum said he even cried a few times. Furthermore when I left Canada he had a lot of reservations about it and wanted me to stay close to him. So nevertheless, all this stuff happening to my dad has been hard on him and made him a miserable SOB. He basically thinks his 30+ years with the government has been ruined, and if he wanted to be hired as a contractor post-retirement, after this gets round, he can throw that out the window.

So as I'm going home this weekend my mum was warning me that my dad has still been in an awful mood and generally just being a mean person. He never says much and when he does, it's been negative. I've seen it first hand in early September and it was just not like my dad.

My mum called me the other night to tell me that he FINALLY came home happy and brought her some home made jam from a co-worker. She said he was whistling. She said that when he heard I was coming home, it really changed his attitude. It was just nice to hear that. I really was not looking forward to going home with him like this.

I worked with my dad for 3 years and so I know exactly what he is like to work with. He is the NICEST boss! He always gives his staff more than what they have encumbered for vacation time and is just really easy going. I hope who ever keeps sending the letters doesn't feel very good about themselves.

Hey! And y'all are forgetting that Cat also has the looks of a freaking movie star. I feel like I hate her a little now

- moviestar not even close. Unless you're comparing me to this Friends episode when Monica's hair frizzes out from the humidity. My face looks like its melting off. I've got a Jacko thing goin' on over here.



But seriously, I've spent the 3 previous years "vacationing" in Southeast Alaska on the rez (Metlakatla). Rainy, windy, cloudy, 13 miles of roads, and frequently the airline was fogged in due to bad weather and the ferry was broken down. I was due! Chris actually found out he got this job in Hilo 3 days before our wedding. I told him - "you're taking it. RIGHT!"

Mel bought a new hard drive and I want it installed now!! He has to wait until one of his computer genius friends comes over. We have no room on our drive and I can't download anything! I wanna play some games!!!

I don't understand why stores sell dirty stuff.

We bought a big tv in a big box. The box is filthy, after Mike got through handling it his hands were black. Not only was the box dirty, the bag the tv was in was black with some kind of residue/dirt.

Then today we go and buy some outdoor chairs, just plastic adirondack chairs - they are covered in....something, not just some dust from being in a truck say, but obviously something had been spattered on them - all of them!

This isn't a U.S. thing - as you all know it happens in Canada too - I don't understand why retailers don't care. Or even delivery services, everytime I would get something delivered by UPS in Canada the bag was always filthy.

I hear ya. Does it work, though? lol

It never did work!

He is at the store right now exchanging it.

Or not. They didn't have another one, so they called a neighbouring store and they have one so he could go pick it up. Yeah.

It's 30 degrees here and we have done - or rather my Husband has done nothing but run around since Friday night, moving, cleaning, picking up stuff like hangers and pots and pans and a new plug for the dryer etc etc.

Plus, we have a car, so moving a 42 inch tv around is no small feat.

So he came home before venturing out again and I called Walmart and spoke with the manager - they will try to have one delivered to our house no later than Thursday.

Our internet connection is really atrocious!! It just went down again, that's AT LEAST 5 times today - minimum.

The good news is the portable dishwasher works!

I'm trying to not be too negative, but I needed to vent this stuff

Oh and the first time I went to post this, the internet connection went down again - luckily I copied it

Oh and I have now scrubbed down those chairs outside twice...making progress, smells like it's like miracle grow or something like that on them.

Ok, enough venting!

How annoying.

It has been almost 6 months since AOS interview and still no Greencard. I dropped of the TB skin test results, so hopefully I will get it soon. I'm not really that worried- but it is a pain not having having it yet,

ok my hubby is driving me crazy lately.. he knows I am not drinking milk right now as me and milk have issues but almost every time he asks me what I want to drink he goes "do you want some milk?"" arrrgh

Milk iz not ur frnd?????????

nope not since my last pregnancy... i miss it so too.. I did try those lactaid pills and they did help a bit... I just haven't gotten around to buying more.. but I am still not sure that they actually work because the last one I took with my milk awhile back didn't help...

I can eat cheese and ice cream with no problems though.. the only time I have issues is if I drink a glass of milk

I have a similar issue with dairy. It is not a lactose problem. The milk protein molecules are too large for my digestive system to handle easily. Cheese, yogurt, and ice cream do not bother me as much because either the active bacteria has already taken a few punches at the milk, and cream (as in ice cream) has higher fat content and lower protein content than milk does.

Are there any other forms of protein that your body doesn't care for?

Have you tried soy milk? It isn't exactly like milk but with the flavourings it is quite tasty and can be used in any other ways you would use regular milk. Just don't try to use vanilla flavoured in tea !

mmm soy milk... loves it.. even hubby prefers it now!!

not that I am aware of.. did your milk problem come on kind of suddenly or have you had that problem your whole life?

I drink very little dairy, but take cream in my coffee. I eat plenty of dairy other ways though. I've tried Soy milk and it's very good. It's preferable to drink Soy if you're peri or post menapausal as well and suffer from hot flashes and night sweats.

my brother and mom drink soy milk and I can't get over the smell so I don't know if I could drink it...
