[QUOTE]Musu, I think Gator LOVES X. It's X who doesn't love Gator so much because he won't calm down. I feel bad for her! He's part lab and part pit, I think - but he's hyper like a lab. I think he's starting to get the hint about laying down and hanging out, but if you move he's like "OMG YOU'RE READY TO PET ME AREN'T YOU?! THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. HOLD ON. LET ME LICK YOU - OMG YOU TASTE AMAZING - I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO PET ME MORE. WHY ARE YOU LAYING THERE!? I'M FUZZY! PEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT MEEEEEEEE!"

haha aw. The sad thing is that the last part is Tory. All day long. If you move, she follows and demands attention. And I gotta admit, most of the time I love it. It also could be because I'm alone 80% of the time so having her love me so much makes me less lonely.

Apocalypse stuff freaks me the fuuck out. BAD. To the point where I might need to close this thread because I dont want to think about it.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : That is what happened with J's brother. They got engaged at 19 and because both of their families were kind of like "Um wtf", they have been engaged for 2 years since no one would help them pay for it (and they have no money to pay for it). FSIL is taking online classes part time (after BIL tried to convince her to quit school) and working 2 jobs to pay for the wedding and they are only inviting parents to the ceremony. It is such a trainwreck of an engagement. I feel terrible saying it, but I feel like they are doing it for the same reasons as your brother.
Posted by musicalsunlight[/QUOTE]

They said they will wait until they graduate and get jobs before getting married, but I'm not sure I believe it. If you can wait to get married, you can wait to get engaged. I don't think they really know what they are doing and why they are doing it. Neither one is mature enough for many reasons, especially her. I just thought they were smarter than that.

I'm hoping it takes awhile to sav eup for a ring. I have to figure out how to fake being happy for them. Or maybe I'll just ask if she's knocked up because with their stupid decisions, it will probably happen soon.

MattsPenguin

LDY, Matt felt the same way after we got April.  She was a handful, constantly getting really hyper and chewing stuff up.  Matt was exasperated. And I was enamored with her. 

Now she's changed considerably.  It was probably a combination of her getting older (she was just over a year when we first got her) and her getting used to us.

I'm not worried about an actual apocalypse or the for real end of the world, just more stuff like the economy continuing to get worse and worse, and food and fuel becoming unavailable or prohibitously expensive. I'd like to think I can take care of myself at least a little bit if that stuff starts to happen in my life time.

[QUOTE]Similar to LDY -- As much as I want to get a second dog, I'm scared that no dog will live up to Ruby. We worked really hard at training her, and she's just great. Well-behaved, good with dogs and kids, and I just adore her. What if we get another dog and it's awful? And even though she's only 4, I'm already terrified of the day she passes on. Also a confession, if I had an extra $50,000 just laying around, I would take Ruby to South Korea and clone her. She's that awesome.
Posted by cfaszews25[/QUOTE]

This is exactly how I feel about my dog Ruby!!!! We did get a second dog and she does not live up to Ruby's awesomeness. The second dog, Bella, is extremely whiney all of the time, even when you are petting her. She'll always be in Ruby's shadow.

I agree about the wait to get engaged thing. I mean, I was a 'young' bride by most standards, but J and I are in a totally different place than are (and are 3 years older). I feel like FSIL will get knocked up right after they are married, because I feel like them getting married is based on an incentive for them to be able to live together and all that since they are super religious.

adamar15

Rach, how long is he there for? 

Habs2Hart

Confession:   I am still really butthurt about my friend's shower.  Her SIL threw her a bridal shower and invited everyone, so we, the BMs didn't get to host her one.  Whatever, it was fine.  But now she's KU and my other bestie and I were really excited to throw her baby shower for her.  We even started asking her questions about what she wanted the minute she told us she's preggly.  (the three of us are super close).  Well, her SIL decided she's hosting her baby shower too, told her that AND chose a girl who my friend can barely stand but her H is best friends with the girls Fl to host it with her.  So we are left not able to host a shower for her, again, and looking like terrible friends.  I just don't get why they wouldn't ask her best friends, (twice) seeing if maybe they want to host one or were planning on it.  And now this awful girl is the co-host.  We're so bummed about it.

[QUOTE]Bay - we still have our tree up too. No lights or ornaments, just stuck in a corner. It makes me want to buy a plant for that corner now, heh. Also - if FI's BM (now our lovely roommate) doesn't quit trashing the house, I'm really REALLY going to lose my cool. I'm stressed out enough without having to wipe down the counter that you used as a plate. Coming home to a house that WAS clean but suddenly isn't because you are gross and have no manners is way no bueno. I regret not charging him something for rent.
Posted by rachers1017[/QUOTE]


You aren't charging him rent? Wow you guys are nice! J drunkenly brought up to his friend that was over on Saturday that if he ever gets sick of living at his parents, we would not charge him much to live in our guest bedroom. I was in the other room at the time and little alarms went off in my head. I walked out and said "So, we're getting roommates now?" J was too drunk at the time to realize that I was pissed, but I got the point across to his mostly sober friend that this was NOT an option. The next day he didn't even really remember talking about it, but omg I am NOT going back to roommates.

[Deleted User]

Ranchers, I'd be all over his ass. Tell him to clean up or get out.

H could provide for us if we needd to grow or hunt for food. I'd be good for, I don't know, screaming if something was coming after us. I like to pretend I'd be a bad-ass though.

Rosie109

LDY I don't mean to upset you BUT kelso is still fvcking crazy like that and he is 7 years old.

We have heard EVERY YEAR that he will calm down next year. Bull hockey.

sparent2010

Ldy what breed is gator? If you have a herding/working dog (even mix) you have your work cut out for you. Tucker is 12 and still pretty hyper. We run him a good 3 miles everyday to help wear him out. You can take him on your runs?

Confession: FI's brother got a job at the company and though he and I get along better I still would rather not work with him. He is idealizing his new position

<div><em><u><strong>This</strong></u></em> is my mom's cat. Especially when you're trying to nap on the couch, or lie down after you've just eaten & he decides to jump onto your stomach and purr so loudly in your face you can't hear the TV...  with an added dose of "OMG TOYS EVERYWHERE! PLAY WITH ME!!! SERIOUSLY, I'M GOING TO RUN AT FULL SPEED ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE AND STEAL ALL YOUR HAIR TIES!". </div>

Man, I am so glad I made the confession about the tree.  It's always good to know you're not alone!  I am going to take the lights, etc. off today.  H told me that if I took down the ornaments (and I want to, since he just seems to break them), he'd handle taking it down and putting it out, which is the part I loathe t he most.  I have no excuse for not doing that until now except for sheer laziness on my part.

Anna, I tried the campus gym, but when I tried to fill out my application, they rejected me because I've had major bone injuries to my pelvis.  I don't know if it's a liability thing or what, since my gym doesn't care, but the campus gym did.

TR, my H is the same way.  I don't mind it as much now because he is so rarely home, but when  he was working only one job he thought as soon as he got home it was PJs and relaxing time.

My mom's dog can still annoy the crap out of me, but she's calmed down a LOT. She can be normal for a time period now. Ozzie goes crazy with the licking though. He can't stand to be close to your face and not lick you. We were trying to cuddle in bed this morning before getting up and he wouldn't let me just lay there because he insisted on licking my face and up my nose.

sparent2010

Anna we stocked up on guns and ammo just b/c we are convinced the world will end soon this is also why we are trying to grow our own food and learn basic survival.

Is your Ruby a boxer? My Ruby is a mutt, but Bella (named by our neices) is a boxer. They don't love eachother, it is very sad.

annakb8

Bay, that's lame. I don't think I've ever had a gym ask me any questions like that. 

Habs2Hart

cfas - It would overlap completely.  I mean, it's her SIL, she could host a family shower and leave the friend shower to us, but she wont.  It will be a mega shower like her bridal shower was and every woman she knows will be invited.  Especially since a not family member is her co-host. 

adamar15

I don't like H's friend's dog.  She licks you constantly and she's just annoying.  Actually, she's very needy which mirrors her owner.  I really just don't like this guy anymore (same guy whose girlfriend I was an asshole to).  He's one of H's friends from college, but he's changed so much since then and turned into a whiny pile of annoying.  I'm having a hard time not being an asshole around him.  I guess that's kind of a confession.

medicapril

I confess that we still have Christmas lights on the gutter outside.  We don't turn them on, so I guess it's only half tacky.

I also confess that I think my brother is an idiot.  He left his wife & 2 kids for a 19 year old (even though I call her a penis ornament, I know it is his decision and I shouldn't be so judgy).  Well, now she's pregnant.  Oh, and the best part is that I found out on FACEBOOK because she posted something about it.  He called to tell me it was a "surprise" and I was like "How is it a surprise???  You either use protection or you don't- it's a condom not rocket science!"

So now I feel like an unsupportive, bitchy sister because I disagree with his life choices.  But that's just it, it's HIS life and these are HIS choices.  And now our dad has asked me to stop refering to her as the penis ornament.  Argh. /endrant.

StephBeanWed61502

Confession:  Part of (not all of, or even most of, but part of) the reason I'm excited that my brother is in the police academy right now is because he's going to learn how to shoot, and then he can teach me, and I'll (a) know someone with a gun; and (b) know how to handle a gun when the apocalypse happens.

Confession #2: I just kicked off a serious campaign to find a new job.  Six months before my wedding.  And the new job that I want will involve a pay cut.  FI is being surprisingly even-tempered about it all (he's the only one I've told so far).  I just can't take the douchecanoe in the office next door anymore.

Confession #3: I would gladly adopt all of your hyper dogs - I want a puppy so badly right now that even a bad puppy is preferable to no puppy.

kpdorr

Both Bella and Ruby turned 3 last fall. Bella was FI's parents dog and they didn't socialize her very well. She's learning but it has been super stressful. She is pretty cute though, so she has that going for her.

Steph, I love my hyper puppy as a hyper puppy, MOST of the time. haha. I am totally a high-energy dog type of person. I think the best parts of my day are when I play with her.

ceh789

Confession: my best friend of 20+ years has a 1 year old and I don't think she's cute.  At all.  This is the first baby ever I've thought wasn't cute so I feel terrible.  I've been making up for feeling this way with gushing facebook comments on her photos and extravagant presents.

I do love playing with hyper puppies - I'm actually going to visit a friend in two weeks, and I get to meet her new puppy, and I already know the puppy is going to be a complete lunatic, and yet I'm actually looking forward to it.

Edited for spelling.
