She may have a touch of alzheimer's. It makes them really stubborn. While it's annoying, I'd just let it go. The elderly are funny cats. Kinda like young children. I just laugh and shake my head. Sorry you had to hear that, though. Not nice.

She's such a hag.

Sorry, but that made me chuckle. But I know what you mean. It's terribly difficult to live with other people. I can barely live with my husband, let alone his relatives. We'd be divorced in nanoseconds.

Yea his grandma doesn't even live here she just comes over when she feels like it.

I live with my in-laws and its been trying at times, but it has been getting better. But this woman is such a ###### at times. She has made so many low blow comments about me. I think its about time I start saying things back to her.

lol

Hey, how old is Granny anyway?

I think she's in her 70's now.

I'm just thinking, if you take her on she will be on her self-righteous horse so fast you won't see the saddle fly (hey how was that little phrase!)

Probably all it will accomplish is giving her more info to share - not only are you a lazy so and so you will now also be an upstart little <fill in granny's choice of words here>.

Thats true.

I am just going to pour castor oil in her tea.

Where ya been, E?

That is SO horrible. I'm sorry. I don't know what I would do. I'm lucky, my in-laws are great.

I have a custom-made wedding band with 4 little diamonds set into it and one larger one. It always flips around so the diamonds aren't lined up with the engagement ring so I've been meaning to have em fused together. Well, the other day I looked down at my finger and the larger diamond was GONE! Just a big hole where it used to be. I'm SO upset every time I look at my finger now... I could just cry.

Oh i'm still here in a miserable toxic mess.. just wanted to make sure I kept 'contributin'!

I'm so sorry, Mandi. That's a terrible feeling.


Okay, good. I was thinking maybe you had been venturing into the wilder side of VJ. Wait a minute. That didn't come out right. I don't mean "good" that you're a mess. I mean "good" that you're still "contributin".

I'm so sorry that happened too... ugh.. that is terrible..


What is it with diamonds going missing anyway??

My mother lost an heirloom ring that was a combo of her diamond that my dad gave her (he's deceased), a diamond that was my grandmother's (given to her by her 1st husband that was shot down of germany).. she changed from a summer purse to a winter one and forgot the ring in one of the pockets and threw the summer purse away..

I took my old engagement ring from my 1st marriage and had it re-set in a necklace.. then I promptly lost it in the washing machine.. i felt sick for about 20 minutes.. then i realized who gave it to me..

UGH..

Dear Customs-people-who-inspect-&-deliver-parcels,

I hate you.

Sincerely,
me

That is horrible about your mother's ring. That would make me so sick... Sounds like it was such a special ring... gosh

The diamonds in my band were actually out of my mom's old wedding ring from my dad (they're divorced now) so I'm a little sad about that part too. It was funny 'cause when my mom saw the band she noticed that my engagement diamond is twice the size as the diamond in my band (the one I lost) and she said "Man your father was cheap" haha. maybe the diamond had a bad energy or something. hmmm

OMG, not only mean as a banshee, but dumb as a fence post! Where is that hitting itself on the head emoticon, anyway?

Aww mom in law to the rescue. She's gonna talk to granny and let her know what she did wrong!

Yaaaaayyyy!! That's awesome.

I am a freaking DUMB A$$! I finally go on a interview for a job that I am qualified for and they recognized that my qualifications were what they were looking for on the phone, so I didn't have to play the stupid overqualified game again. I was so nervous, because it was a job that I actually really really wanted and it seemed like such a great company to work for and I completely botched it!!!

I rambled on forever about everything they asked! And I all of a sudden developed a freaking stutter while being interviewed! I NEVER STUTTER! I feel like one big fat disappointment! Seriously people. I suck!

got a damn speeding ticket tonight..

BOO!
That sucks.

How fast weren't you going?

Not to worry, Modano. Most companies recognize that an interview situation makes people nervous.

My girlfriend, Wendy, came over the night before she was going for an interview. Our old boss, Gord, was on the committee. We talked about how hot Gord was and I said "I'd do him." Well, the next day she's getting grilled by the committee when all of a sudden that popped into her head and she giggled at a serious question, realized her faux pas, then stumbled and stuttered her way through the rest of the interview. Needless to say, she didn't get the job. But I'm sure you weren't thinking about "doing" one of the members of the panel so you should be okay.

Awe... hugs to you Modano.. hang in there.. I've been looking for a job for over 2 months. and not ONE phone call.. it is really hard tdo keep a good attitude.. hang in there.. you are not alone.. perhaps it went better than you percieved?

lol krikit

Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much, they might see that you are human and appreciate it! If not, just means there is a better job around the corner (and I mean that, not just saying it for effect )

51 in a 35.. such a trap she was sitting on the other side of the sign where the limit drops and she asked me why i pulled her over and I even said speeding, thinking she would give me a warning... no dice. I have no clue how much it is either, you have to check online but its not in there yet.

just checked $186 ughhh...

maybe Ill fight it and tell them i have no job since USCIS wont allow me to work.

I know most are probly already living in the states like myself , but had the idea and ask here maybe I get lucky for my daughter ,
by any chance does anyone know of places where they hire english people in Montreal ??

Definitely go to court for it. I watched a day of traffic court for a high school project (years ago of course) and everybody who bothered to show up had their tickets & points reduced. Well worth the effort!

Maybe she should move to Calgary!

They will if you speak French too.

I like it!

not to mention we have two kids.. My wife had to go back to work when are 3 month old was only a month old. I set up an info pass tomorrow to see if i can get a rush on my EAD because he is a nursed baby and since we moved he will not drink out of a bottle so for the almost 10 hours she is gone he doesnt eat a single thing.. Ive tried different bottle, nipples, you name it.

Doesn't he get really hungry and cry?

yes the boy has some lungs..

So what does your pediatrician say - he or she hasn't offered any suggestions?

just moved to another state so we havent found one yet..

i've been through that with my daughter its not easy, it took me forever to get mine to drink out of a bottle just keep trying.Although i wasnt working just wanted a break so i wasnt really pushing it either till about 15m then i had enough. I did find platex nipples shaped more like the real thing and they had the holes the side of the nipples vrs the tip so it had a different way of sucking to get the milk out rahter then shouting down to the back of the throat it would be towards the roof of the mouth. If that makes any sense. It was the best ones i found. Good luck with the little one.

Two things came to mind when I read this. Well, 3 really. The first was "Poor Earmuffs, poor baby, poor Mummy". The second was that my daughter wouldn't take a bottle either.... until she got hungry enough when the natural supply started running low. Thirdly, the more upset a child gets, the less likely he is to take anything you give him, because he is now focusing on the anger as opposed to the hunger. Try him on one of the natural nipples like the kind Ontarkie suggests. But only when he isn't upset..... he'll be more likely to take it then. And let us know how things work out. Good luck, Earmuffs.

I have bronchitis and a pneumonia. I'm a cranky panda.

Oooooooo, my condolences. And you are a cranky Beaver, not a Panda. How did you know you have both? What does it feel like?

Holy crap it's Buckshot! I totally forgot about that show! You just made my day trailmix!

I'm so sorry to hear about your diamond. I feel your pain. I lost my entire wedding set on my way home to Calgary at Christmas. I cried for 3 days. I am now wearing a set my husband bought me from Shoppers Drug mart. $24.99.

I had no idea what that was, but it looked scary.
