Confession Thursday

bbyckes

Rho, is that your full-time job?  For some reason, I thought that was a side-gig or a hobby.  That's pretty cool if you can make a living doing something like that.

ETA:  If we ever meet, you have to promise to teach me some moves.

I confess that I've been letting our neighbor walk all over me. They constantly use our driveway for their crap without asking.  Stand in it, sit in it, put their kids sprinkler aiming at it so that we can't park without getting soaked, etc.  It annoyed us but they're not the easiest to get along with, so rather then say anything, I kept my mouth shut in the interest of peace.

Yesterday their garbage can was knocked over, into our driveway.  They left it there all day long, in our driveway.  Knocked over with garbage spewn all over our side.  They walked by it, pulled in next to it, and didn't even pick up the damn can at least.

This morning on my way to work I kicked it all back on their side.  Mature?  Not at all.  But I did feel better about it, and next time they do anything, I'll finally grow a pair and say something

I confess that my bridesmaids hate each other.  My sister planned my b-party for Napa.  One of the BMs wasn't happy because she couldn't go, so she is planning a second b-party before my shower that she can attend.  I think it's ridiculous and they are both making thinly-veiled snippy comments about each other in e-mails to me and I hate it.  I don't WANT two b-parties, but apparently they've both already been planned.

Also, my mother just called me freaking out because she accidentally booked my shower location for a Wednesday on accident.  Great.  I do not want to involved in shower planning at all, mom.  Figure it out and let me know when to show up.

Which leads to, I confess that my mother is planning and paying for my entire shower but listing my sister and aunts as the official hosts.  One of my aunts offered to actually throw a shower, but my mom turned her down because she wanted a cake-and-punch affair and my mom doesn't think that's good enough.  AAACK.

Brie does milhouse stare at you or get really needy at times? My dog wont bark to go out but you can tell he wants to go out because he comes up and stares at you or keeps trying to crawl inyour lap (and then stares at you). Weve just kind of put two and two together that it means he wants to go out.

YaPuppy, grow some balls.

I confess I had a sex dream about my boss last night and it was very hot. I never even thought about him like that but I guess my subconscious does. Weird.

This is me too.  I didn't realize it until the last couple of months when my period came and I was a little dissapointed every time.  We aren't trying and certainly aren't "not trying, trying" but I guess some part of me is hoping for an accident I guess?  We could fully handle a child, but my go to statement is not for another 2 years.  Maybe I should be changing that statement.

I wish.  He basically eats, sleeps, and sniffs.  Sniffing is supposed to be a sign they need to go, but beagles do it 24/7.  A few times we've been able to tell because he'll go stand by the door and look at us, but it's not consistent.

Have you tried the bell trick? Hanging a bell from the door and ringing it whenever you take him out? Apparently they will eventually ring it when they want to go out. We thought of trying it but figured out the staring thing first.

mwhitson14

Our dog (a Westie) stares at us to go out.

Meaghan, that's funny

Andrea_Lea

Brie, you need to be the consistent one -- even on weekends, as much as a PITA as it is, that's how he's going to learn.  He'll get it but beagles are STUBBORN like that.

Gina, I'm sorry things are so sucky right now.  Can you get your sister alone, she's feeling helpless and terrified of losing her dad, too, you were really best friends at one time, maybe you can get through to her that you need her right now more than anyone else and she's got to get herself together.

laurenclaire1386

Brie, the bell trick worked for my dog. That's how I housebroke her. When it's time to go out, ring the bell. Then if she actually went outside, she got a treat. And ditto Nebb, we've long gotten rid of the bell, but when she has to go, she comes and rests her head on my thigh and just stares.

Nebb

Haha my dog will go underneath my desk and wedge his head between my knees and stare at me from under the desk. Its the weirdest (and creepiest) thing ever.

YGPM back, Night.

Whenever nobody hears from my sister for a few days, I get worried that I'm going to get a call from my parents or the cops saying that she is in the hospital and Luke and BabyDaddy have gone missing.

baby green bird

i confess that i still find former fi hawt and that i enjoy our once in awhile love time.

pinkpinot

My terrier NEVER wants to go out.  I'll open the door and he will sit and stare at me like, "I'm not going out in the cold" and I have to beg & coax him.  Sometimes I have to pick him up and place him outside. 

mwhitson14

Oooh scandalous BGB!

laurenclaire1386

Pink, I had to physically place our chihuahuas in the grass this morning becaue it's rainy and cold as a well digger's asss in Montana. I opened the door, and they looked at me like, "Ummm you don't really expect me to pee in that."

bhentze

I confess that I FI just accepted a job in NY (we live in Florida), and I cannot wait to quit my job. They are making all these plans for the next couple months for the people here, and I am just going along with it because I can't quit yet. They have fuucked me over too many times, and frankly I don't care at all if I inconvenience them. My GM can take the bottle of scotch he drinks daily at "lunch" and shove it.

Brie2010

He is fine when we're on a schedule on weekdays, but on weekends/days off when things are a little less structured we have problems. 

I think the bell is our next step, though I'm not confident he's bright enough to get it.  We've been scratching his paw on the door for the last 3 weeks every time we take him out and no luck with that yet.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

FFIL wants to train the dogs with the bell. But they have a westie and a scottie, so they'd have to put the bell really close to the ground. And then the cats might play with it.

Andrea_Lea

Brie is he crated during the day (weekdays AND weekends AND days off)?  How old is he? He needs structure, that can help, too, keeping him crated and then as soon as he is released it's out you go, big boy, do your thing and then come inside, be free, play, etc.

laurenclaire1386

Oh, another confession for me. In light of FI's annual review at work yesterday, he is job hunting. Nothing's critical, because since it was a mutual decision and there's no bad blood (we lucked out), they're giving him time to find something else. He texted me earlier this morning saying he'd seen several jobs posted in places like Sacramento, DC, Destin, Fl, and Mobile, Al. Since we don't really have any anchors in the place we are, except friends, I'm really excited at the prospect of possibly moving. This means I'll have to give up my job, which I love. The confession part is that I have zero qualms with putting my career (which I'm not even sure about) on hold for his. I know it's not 1958, but if he got a job somewhere far away that allowed me not to work, or to work part time, I'd totally jump on the opportunity.

ac_in_dc

Brie, I think beagles are one of the slowest breeds ever to train. They require more repetition of commands than almost every other dog. Hang in there, he'll get it, and be awesome once he does!!

My confessions are all kind of lame and baby-related--I have too much artificial sweetener even though I'm PG, everything I read about breastfeeding scares the shiit out of me and makes me want to bail, and I'm simultaneously psyched and scared shitless to quit work when the kid comes.

rhodesign

Capri--the dancing is a hobby. I'm talking about my nursing job working with sick babies--it makes me scared to have one because I'd constantly worry about what could go wrong

And yes, I'd absolutely teach you some moves! =0)

[QUOTE]Confession 2:  when FI has days off during the week, he seriously cramps my style and drives me up the wall.  He had food poisoning on Monday and while I felt bad for him and did everything I could to make him more comfortable, I was relieved when he finally went to take a nap in the bedroom and was out for several hours. 
Posted by JK10910[/QUOTE]

I confess that this combined with everything you posted about your relationship/job stuff yesterday makes me see red flags.  :/

I confess that I too am wondering if there will be a FFF post tomorrow because apparently I upset some people the other day and I'm wondering who will pop in and talk about it.

Nebb

I saw an article in CNN about this ranking of dogs by intellegence, out of 79 rankings, beagles are 72 - http://petrix.com/dogint/70-79.html
