Confessions, Perhaps?

NatesGirl16

What's even more funny to me is that he made this account specifically to ask a nice question and we automatically assumed he was being dirty.

ETA: Forget it.  He said "turns you on" in the OP.  I thought we just jumped on the "why are you asking us about sex" train out of the blue.

[QUOTE]Well he also said the thread title was more a curiosity about what your SO does for you that makes you happy (not dirty at all). He has a very curious nature, which is a bad combination when he's on a conference call, obviously.

Oh wait!  I think I do rememebr this now.

AATB- Yup, Mr. B had a troll, and I'm not going to out him, but he kind of went down in history.  He hasn't posted in well over a year but I've seen the SN come up in conversation here and on E a few times in the last few months.

Thanks MilkDuds!

That is hilarious B I wasn't around back then but I do find it awesome that he's apparently a knot legend.

<div>Now every time I see someone mention one of these blasts from the past, I'll be wondering if it was him.  That's funny.</div>

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions, Perhaps? : Damn It...I remember thinking wonder if this is Mr. KD, but figured it was just a coincidence.  Figured it was an AE or Troll that just picked random places.  That's why I asked the Hang on Sloopy question because I thought I remembered you saying H was an OSU fan.  I'm going to our local police station and telling them I want a detective job...I figure shiit out, and I watch Law and Order so clearly I get it.

He is a puss, he had already backed out and asked TK gods to delete his account.
I told him it was tit-for tat, and he needed to answer some of AATB's questions and he probably would have been fine. I think OWN shocked him, since he sat next to her at our G2G.

And yes he knows all the words. You are good D!

Re-reading the Secretgroom thread is awesome.  I'm laughing at everyone's reactions, especially when B says "I think he just wants to jack it at the computer."

I am cracking the eff up re-reading that thread.

Well this is a good assumption with my DH, since he is President of the Perv club.

I confess that I have a job interview after work today, but a big part of me wants to stay here until after Christmas because last year's bonus was a-mazing.

I also confess that I'm peeved at my boss for attending my wedding and not giving us a card.  And I'm peeved at my other boss for not coming and not giving us a card.  Monetary gain and selfishness aside, even an empty card would have been nice.

NatesGirl16

The SG thread was even better with LTZ's new sig.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I saw the new sig too, lol. 

What a lovely Friday this is.

Night_Sprite

Another confession: I feel like a kill joy because I told H his Christmas bonus will go into savings and extra payments on his car.  I know I'm a little bit of a downer, but damn it, I want to be out of debt.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

You're not a kill-joy, NS.  You just mean business and you're good at bringing down the hammer. 

I could learn a thing or two from you...

LessThanZero

I confess that I'm am seriously terrified of dress shopping and I'm supposed to go tomorrow. I have anxiety about it. And I feel really stupid even talking about this to such an extent, but I kind of want to hyperventilate, throw up and then curl up into a ball and cry just thinking about it. I wish that I could just go on my own so that then I could only be mortified in front of myself. And I really wish my Mom was around to go with me, or even take an interest in anything in my life.

Excuse me while I go throw myself a pity party. Meh.

NatesGirl16

Nah, that's not being a killjoy.  Think of how much more money you'll have for stuff when you're out of debt.  Even just saving it and seeing how much you have (yeah, I'm a miser) is awesome. You know this, he'll see it.

LTZ, I know exactly how you feel! I was so anxious (like stomach in knots nervous) and I have no idea why.

Originally, my plan was to go with MOH and try dresses, whittle down my choices and bring mom for the final choice.  Mom ended up meeting us there yesterday, which was a disaster.  She made me cry at DB and awkward, self-loathing began.  Blegh.  I know it's not the same as your situation, but I hated having Mom there, even though I love Mm and feel guilty saying that.

I think it stems fromt he fact that I believe that every dress I try on is going to look terrible and that I'll end up leaving there trying to act like I don't hate myself, for the sake of my FILs.

It's stupid. It really is. I've never been a champion of self esteem to begin with, and wedding dresses just take it to a whole new level.

ichellemay1

I confess to eating Laffy Taffy, too.  Addictive stuff!  My real confession is not being happy at work. 

AllAboutTheBenjamin

LTZ, I forbid you to have this anxiety.  Dress shopping should not make you want to throw up.  It should make you happy and excited Seriously I loved dress shopping.  It was the best thing ever.  If I hadn't found "the dress" I could have gone shopping every day for a year.  It's THAT fun.

kd.joseph

AW LTZ, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. This should be a happy time, but it's not always.

I'll be honest my mother is elderly, and lives far away so it wasnt even an option to have her with me. So I went by myself, and I got great feed back from people I didnt even know. I think it worked out better that way. Just breathe, I think it will turn out better then you expected. Promise.

You TOLD him?  Not "We discussed and decided together"?

LTZ, you are describing my fears exactly.  But honestly, the salespeople were awesome and made me feel great when trying everything on.  I love shopping, as in finding and buying things, but I have serious internal angst in the dressing room.  This was nothing like that at all.  I literally loved every moment, even if a dress didn't fit or looked stupid.  It sounds weird, but when dresses didn't fit, I felt more like it was the dress's fault and not mine (when usually I'd be like, Ugh, I'm disgusting).

Night_Sprite

Yes, it was my decision.  I do 9/10 of our money management.  He then agreed, but I still felt like a kill joy.

That's how I read it too, and I have to agree.  I'd be super pissed if my H told me how I was going to spend my bonus.  Having a discussion and deciding together is one thing, but I would flip if he tried to tell me what to do.

J&K10910

Just because you mostly handle the money management doesn't mean you can't discuss it and decide together.

But, this IS a confessions thread, so I'll move along.

Thanks KD and Nates.  : )

I just need a boost today. It's cold and rainy and I'm just feeling like being a baby. I will remember all of your words tomorrow.

It will be awesome, I promise :) You'll have to make sure you tell us all about it.

NatesGirl16

The money/decision thing doesn't seem so weird to me.  For FI and I, making money decisions together is important, because I'm neurotic and controlling.  But in other areas, it's not a fifty-fifty, decide together kind of thing.  We each have our strengths and defer to each other in some regards.
