I'm shocked

But, guys - he's applying. Surely he'll have a job in 2 weeks.

happy anniversary !!I really want to know why the boss thought they would move across country.. I mean that is a pretty big move to assume. Unless of course FI said he would just to keep his job in order to get the house. If that is the case, I would not use him for a reference.

But, guys - he's applying. Surely he'll have a job in 2 weeksToo bad it's gone. I'd like to tell her that I've been applying for 3 months and I still don't have a job.

And the thing is, most places will not give you a loan for a home until you can prove that you're actively working. The purchase of MIL and FIL's previous home almost fell through because one of the buyers had to get a new job and re-qualify for the mortgage.

There was another one from late last night. She didn't want to invite her FBIL's FI because she acts so childish, she doesn't get along with her and she didn't want to see her on her wedding day. FBIL's FI was 18 and the poster was 20. Most responses were very nice but she kept digging a whole. I was going to go back to see if anything else had been added but it's gone. Tear....

Me too, J&K. Me too.

Thanks Lynda!I'm thinking the same thing though. If she actually elaborated rather than sought validation, perhaps those details would have come to light.

Happy Anniversary!

The other thing that amuses me is that the only person who agreed with the OP is the OP's only 'friend' in her knot profile. I'm just a wee bit suspicious.

tidetravel · August 2009

Maybe they became "friends" after she agreed with OP? hehe.

Happy anniversary, banana. Here's to many, many more! And to you from this old married hag: it does just keep getting better and better.

banana468 · August 2009

Thanks OOT and Trix! On a happy note, it's really amazing how these two years have flown by. Life is wonderful with him.

Oh! Happy anni, Bananarama!!!

ricksang · August 2009

Yes, "Our Special Day" has been posted a lot too. Gross.

Happy Anniversary! What's the gift supposed to be for number two? Any plans (you know, aside from the obvious)?

ac_in_dc · August 2009

Happy anniversary!

banana468 · August 2009

The gift is 'cotton' or 'China' and neither are on our list right now. So instead we're going to a nice local restaurant that's come highly recommended by a coworker and then we'll have a quiet night at home. I'm really looking forward to it!

ivystar57 · August 2009

It fits! There will be linens and you'll be eating off of plates. See? I can make it work :)It sounds like a lovely evening.

banana468 · August 2009

Good point ivy!!

Ok, about the OP and FI and the boss, etc. Five main comments: 1. For heaven's sake, people, why are you judging her? Do you have no lives? (oh wait, of course not, you're spending all day blogging!) 2. If I were trying to buy a house and my fiance were applying for jobs locally, I wouldn't tell my current employer, espically if that employer was thinking of moving many, many states away. 3. Why are you judging her not telling her boss? Her FI needs a job in order to get the house! No job = No house. The FI is looking for jobs and MAYBE he's in the running for a good one. Not that any of you would know this or not-- you all just want to judge her and be catty bitches. 4. Why are they any more "liars" than any of us? Who are you to throw stones? They're just trying to make the best of things and their current empoyer doesn't NEED to know if the FI is looking for another job. Sorry, they're trying to make a life for themselves. 5. You are ALL incredibly horrible people. I hope and pray to God that I never have any aquaintances even remotely like any of you! Here you are, judging and not even TRYING to understand or symphathize! No wonder she DD the blog.AACAT

banana468 · August 2009

If you didn't even read the OP, how are you able to comment on whether or not anyone attempted to gain more information to try to understand the situation?

jeannequeenu2 · August 2009

How the HELL do you know I didn't read the original post? Just b/c I don't post a witless comment like the rest of you doens't mean that i don't READ. The moron level on this blog is off the charts!!!! I was going to post my own wedding question, but now that I see this site is fully of selfish, idiotic, catty bitches who are braver on cyber-space than in real life, I think I'll get advice from some place more intelligent. Later. AACAT

I see lots of love in this thread - not to be confused with a blog - but almost all of the name calling and insults came from, well, you.

banana468 · August 2009

So you chose to post an answer HOURS after the original post was deleted? OK, so then maybe you read the entire thing and then thought about an answer for four hours.Ditto PP. The name calling didn't start until hours after this thread was posted. Rather unfortunate actually.

banana468 · August 2009

Yeah, we support being nice. It's quite the curse.

I'm shocked
