Help Me Avoid Schoolwork :)

MuSu, did you watch SYTYCD tonight?

musicalsunlight · July 2012

I haven't had a chance to yet, J! Is it good?

mica178 · July 2012

I'm exhausted and want to play with kittehs. Good night, all!

J&K10910 · July 2012

Night, Mica!

MuSu, I've only seen the group dance and the first partner dance, and the dance (a samba) was great, but the music for it sucked. So I was just curious if you thought it was a poor music selection too. BUT YOU CAN'T HELP ME.

Are cats the same as dogs in a new home? Like, where they have the first night or two of crying in their crate or new bed or whatnot?

musicalsunlight · July 2012

ahhhh I'm sorry! Hah I've been distracted and I like to watch it when I'm super focused on only the TV.

willywally5 · July 2012

Crap, I missed SYTYCD. Sigh.

Mica, those kitties are too dang cute.

Gonna have to try this Mint Julep mask. Sounds divine.

I am doing a serious overhaul of my eyebrows right now. I let them get to a pretty desparate state. I feel like my coworkers probably wanted to throw up just looking at me today.

J&K10910 · July 2012

Well, let me know what you think after you watch it. The second dance was fabulous.

Ugh, I need to do mine too. They're overgrown. They're light, and fine, so luckily they don't get too bad, but I just think my face looks so much better and more put together when they're shaped nicely.

musicalsunlight · July 2012

I will, J.

musicalsunlight · July 2012

Mine are the opposite, J. Mine are thick, coarse black hairnests of nasty. I started plucking them in 6th grade because they are just insane. I am usually really good about it but for some reason REALLY let them get away with murder this last week.

LeiselEB · July 2012

Hi again, everyone!

Mica, those kittens are precious, I love that their personalities are so different.

Angel - if you saw me without makeup on, you would believe it. Haha, it's awful.

I really don't mind Comcast. I know people hate that company so much, but I've really never had a problem with them. I would hate not having those channels. I don't really watch much on them, but I'd be annoyed knowing I couldn't have them. I feel like Veruca Salt now.

J&K10910 · July 2012

Yeah, just cannot get behind Alexa still.

angelstar975 · July 2012

Anddd I'm back.

I second Seesaw's Charmed recommendation, haha. We might be in the minority though, I don't know that many other people who loved it. However, I may or may not have all 8 seasons on DVD. I haven't watche Dawson's Creek since I was like 14, I used to love it, but I can imagine that I wouldn't feel that way now.

Aryn, what do you watch shows on? Netflix?

LeiselEB · July 2012

I've been meaning to start watching Dawson's Creek. It used to be on TBS at like 6am, and back when I spent my entire summers in Florida one of my friends whose parents also had a house down there would wake up every morning to watch it. I was not at all interested in getting up that early for TV, but I remember her loving it.

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Okay guys, I feel bad for bringing down the thread but I just have to vent about something.

My mother has a problem with money. Long story short, no matter how broke we are she's always spending. She steals my fathers checks and writes them to cash. He gave them to me keep hidden from her so that she wouldn't do it anymore. He just called me as I was making the jambalaya and was absolutely livid. He screamed at me and asked how my mom got his checks. Apparently she found my hiding place and stole more checks - overdrawing my fathers account. I told him I didn't know how she found them. He told me that he left her a voicemail telling her to call her relatives and find somewhere to live because he wants a divorce. I found another place to hide them, but I feel it's too late. I'm so upset by this, and I feel like all of this is my fault because I didn't do a good enough job hiding the checks. I don't know what to do and quite frankly I feel like I'm going to throw up.

J&K10910 · July 2012

Poke? Take a deep breath and repeat after me: "It is not my fault that my mother has financial issues. My father should not have yelled at me, because this is not my fault, and hiding the checks never should have been my responsibility."

<div>I'm trying to tell myself that, but I feel responsible because it was my job to keep them safe. And I was not very clear in my other post, but he wasn't screaming AT me, more like screaming TOO me. It's just a mark of how angry he is that he was literally screaming, he never yells. </div>

angelstar975 · July 2012

Ditto what J said, Poke. This isn't your fault. At all. It never should have fallen on you to hide the checks. And honestly, no matter where you hid them in the house, if she was determined enough, and she clearly was, she would have eventually found them. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. You really haven't had a good few nights and it makes me sad

pokepoke27 · July 2012

Thanks Leisel

Holly - I was going to have a conversation about that with him. I was going to sugges that he give them to my grandfather that lives just over the road from our neighborhood.

I absolutely understand feeling responsible, but dear, that NEVER should have been your job in the first place.

<div>I know. I offered to do it because I was sick of utilities being cut off because she kept getting his checks. It caused tension between my mom and I but she got over it. </div><div>

[QUOTE]Poke, that's a shitty position for you to be in. I'm so sorry to hear about it. Hopefully your mom will realize she has a problem and get some help.
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

<div>She just texted me and asked if she could transfer money to my account to give back to my dad, but I don't know if that's enough. He's so angry. </div>

pokepoke27 · July 2012

I really wish they would, but right now I'm already in it so there isn't much I can do about it. Apparently I misunderstood my mom's text. She's going to go to the bank with my debit card to deposit the money into the atm for me to transfer. Apparently she's got a bank account no one knew about that isn't with the bank everyone else is with. I'm glad ,because once she's gone I can call H and talk to him. He's a great guy, he is always there for me - even at 4 am (his time)

angelstar975 · July 2012

It's probably not enough, Poke, but it may be a start. Although I don't understand why she can't just write your dad a check and mail it to him.

amorg334 · July 2012

Poke *hugs* I am so sorry you are dealing with everything with your parents. I know it can be incredibly stressful. Also, do not blame yourself for what is going on between them. You parents are adults and you mom needs to realize that her actions do have serious consequences. I know it is easier said then done but I hope you guys are okay.
