[QUOTE]Carrie - I'm jealous of your awesome shower and delicious cake! One of my co-workers and I are actually getting married on the same day and the lady here who we dubbed "crazy orange lipstick lady" was actually going to throw us something. Luckily and unluckily she was fired a few months back over lots of drama (gun threats, etc. - looks like we were right). It would have been fun to have a work shower but looking back, I'm not sure if it would be worth it to have it thrown by her. Plus, I'm not sure if everyone (or anyone) would be too stoked about having to buy two presents for two different peeps on the same day. Oh well. In other news, has anyone ever had a kidney infection? My back is hurting terribly (so much so that I couldn't sleep last night) and one of my co-workers suggested that. I haven't had any other symptoms but I'm REALLY hoping I don't have one as I JUST went to the doctor yesterday about my ongoing strep. Ughhh.

I had a kidney infection several years back. How long has the back pain been going on? If you knock with your knuckles on your lower back (over your kidneys), do you have any pain there?

I developed a kidney infection from not going to see a doctor about a UTI; if you start throwing up and the back pain is excruciating while you are over the toilet (as in you are unable to sit still), definitely get to a doctor asap.

Erica - definitely call your doctor and let them know what's going on.  They may change up the antibiotics that you might already be on for strep, or you may need to go in and get a shot.  Professor makes a good recommendation on the juice -- just make sure you drink 100% Cranberry juice.... NOT the "Cranberry Juice Drink" which is what 95% of the crap on the shelves is.

angelsong21

I want a Sonata SO BAD.  I drove one while I was in Padre visiting H and it was awesome.  When he got to spend an evening out with me, he got in the car and was like, "I feel like I'm inside a spaceship!"  Nerd.  But it sort of was, and it drove so smoothly.  Great gas mileage as well.  The Sonata Hybrids have their downfalls, but they are supposedly the best hybrid you can buy.

I have a Sentra, and my car is a total piece of dung.  Issues after issues after issues.  And the sad thing is that we are a Nissan family.  I drove a '95 Nissan into the ground and then a '97 Nissan.  I put 250,000 miles on that sucker and it was STILL going strong when I traded it in.  This is the first car I've ever had bad luck with. 

Professor, you're right... of COURSE you raise good points. ;-)

Epic post is EPIC.  Sorry about the length on that, guys.

To be honest I would be the same exact way. Funny thing is if my brother weren't already married I could see him doing this. For some reason in the past few years he's become very competitive with me and it's plain rediculous in my opinion.
But in your defense he is rushing things with this marriage. And that is really shitty to waste one of your vendors time just play a game of getting a better price from someone else. I'm not using Mel as my DJ but from what I've heard she is top notch and doesn't deserve that kind of BS and you don't deserve to be used either. They need to go out and do their own leg work just like you did for your wedding. It's one thing to ask for advice and help but another when the intentions are not pure.
I wasn't at your wedding but I saw the pictures and I think it was beautiful. Maybe I'm biased but we seem to have a bit of the same taste. And remember no one can take away the beauty of your day after all that you and H went through you both looked very very happy.
So no I don't think you're being a douchcanoe.

angelsong21

Thanks, kt.  I am not just competitive... I am ultra-competitive.  The sad thing is that I usually feel like I fail at everything.  That competitiveness and shame were so strong that it led to me having an eating disorder because it was the one thing I could do "better" than everyone else I knew.  I am THAT ridiculously competitive.  So there are a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of, and there are very few things I am proud of.  I worked so stinkin' hard on our wedding and I was incredibly proud of it.  To be told someone else had figured out how to do it better within like a week... that hurt.

I'm wondering if your brother is just being a guy, you know?  Like, totally oblivious to the fact that little comments like that are hurtful.

<div>Could be.  My family is not emotionally connected like that to where we could have a real conversation about this.  We just don't do that.  The one and only time I have ever, ever seen my father show sadness and actually cry was during a session when I was in treatment.  Other than that, my dad has never cried or shown that sadness, even with his mom and died passed.  Emotion = weakness, even though my dad is a sensitive guy.  My family dynamic follows in those steps.  </div><div>

Amy- I would say talk to him about how you feel but that may not work if your family isn't like that. I agree with KT the pictures from your wedding looked gorgeous so don't take to heart what he says. Figure out if you really want to help him. If you decide you can't you could always tell him that you don't think your vendors are what they are looking for. This is a tough situation and I hope it gets better!! Roseofdeborah - the only thing that makes me feel better is that the 5k is at night!

Posted by angelsong21[/QUOTE]
I can totally relate to that, my family is the same way and also very stubborn so grudge holding is a serious issue with our family. We don't even hug each other and my FI thinks thats weird and I guess it really is. So I can relate to not having those kind of conversations because we don't either.
I would say don't always feel like you have to be the one to always keep peace. Do what you feel is right and if not helping him is right in your gut than go with it. I do like the idea of telling him that you don't feel the vendors you used would be right for them and maybe give some other vendor suggestions.
Also Amanda made a good point he might just be being a guy and often times they don't think the things they say are hurtful.
