WTF is with the water in the new apartment. I get the shower a nice temperature and then all of a sudden it get cold and then almost scalding. We also found out if you run ANY water, (hot or cold) in the apartment when someone is in the shower, the water gets cold. We never had a problem with the water temp in the other apartment. This sucks.

Oh and maintenance took our blind from the kitchen because it didn't go down all the way thinking that they could just swap it from our old apartment. Nope, doesn't fit into the window frame. We have been without a blind for the past 5 days in our almost floor to ceiling kitchen window and we live on the ground floor looking into a courtyard.

#1. FI took my Rav4 to get an oil change an alignment, it was driving a little to the left lol. They called him and told him my tires are so bad that they can't do an alignment. Because I have the sports model, I have 18" rims so my tires are bigger than FIs old Huge Silverado which means they are $210 per tire WTF. I told him not to get it done just the oil change. I figure I will get the new tires when I get it inspected in September. Well to my suprise, he got the tires anyway. It was nice and all but we need the $900 for Hawaii! I don't have the money to pay him back either, we just got the carpet and hardwood floors done. Gosh Darn car! #2. I'm so excited about the mothers day BBQ but WTF is with FIs B & SIL. They are coming with their kids and didn't even offer to bring anything. When I'm invited to parties I always make something. Because of this my mother offered to make macaroni and pasta salad so im not making or buying a ton of food. It's mothers day, she shouldnt have to do that. My sister is making something as well. Maybe it's me and I shouldn't complain about this since I am having the party but a little help would be nice. I'm also providing all the alcohol. I have wine, of course, sangria, and making a slushie vodka drink. FIs brother said "I'll take miller life" ah no, how about you bring it if you want to drink that!

Cathy, tell them to replace it ASAP or you don't wanna hear about indecent exposure!!

WTF is up with my ex-husband! yes him again! so as if the money problems weren't enough... I found out that while my kids were with him last weekend he had a new girlfriend sleep over! WTF REALLY!!!! You have the kids 4 night a month... can't she keep her a$$ at home for those 4 nights? not only that... but he was engaged for like 7 months and they broke up 5 months ago (she broke up with him..imagine that) and now he's got another chick spending the night... My kids don't need to see or be involved with that! It just IRRITATES me!

Edited to say: If you haven't figured it out by now... my ex can't keep his junk in his pants for more than 5 minutes... After we split I found out it was for another girl... they moved in together in February when we split in January!!! oh and my sone was only 7 months old at the time... he's a real piece of work...

I want to WTF my friend's mother. She is giving my friend's daughter a panic attack half the time. I understand she's dealing with a lot of stress/emotion right now, but don't you think this 13 year old girl is too?

One minute she's telling a nurse that my friend will be fine, she's going to wake up soon, she knows it. Then in the same breath she turns and tells the poor kid all about how she's going to be ok without her mother because she has lots of family. Seriously!?!?!?

Oh and she keeps trying to force the poor kid to go to school. HER MOTHER IS IN ICU! Give the kid a break already!

Cathy- I second what Jenn said...tell them you won't be held liable for indecent exposure lol!!

Jenn- I'd like to also WTF your car! I am trying to save a "just in case" amount of $ for just before we leave for our wedding next year b/c I fear something coming up right before that will cut into our "spend like your ballin'" money!

Jen- That sux about your XH! esp for the kids!!

Britt- I continue to keep your friend in my thoughts/prayers...I hope she pulls through!

jtoly · May 2012

Jen ur ex is an idiot! The girlfriend Should go home instead of sleeping over unless they were in a longer relationship because they see him with different girls. Oh britt, I hope this get better. T & Ps

Ugh, unfortunately my WTF post is wedding related. I have less than 2 months until my St. Thomas wedding. Before we chose our date, we ran that one and several other considerations past our wedding coordinator to make sure that a) she was free, and b) the courthouse would be open to get our license. So she confirmed that the date we chose (last YEAR) was good.

Last week she emails me with "good news and bad news." The good news was that our paperwork was filled out completely (which I call my own attention to detail, not "good news"). The bad news? The courthouse is CLOSED on our wedding. Meaning that there is a small chance she can convince them to open but our license will cost us a couple of hundred MORE, or that they won't be open at all and we will have to get the legal part handled at home & have an "honorary" ceremony there.

Now, first, I know many people do the honorary ceremonies and I have nothing against them. But my problem is with the fact that we either have to cough up more money (which we're willing to do but not thrilled about). Plus, this whole issue being raised makes me wonder what other details are not being paid attention to. My fiance pulled up the courthouse's website and it says clear in black & white that they are closed. So I'm mad at myself too for not doing the legwork myself. Again, I'm not blaming my WC, but now I'm second-guessing things I guess. We made it known on our wedding website & to our family that one of our stops on the way to the ceremony would be the courthouse, so now if we get married at home everyone will know something is off. Not exactly the end of the world, but with less than 2 months to go, it's an annoyance I didn't really want.

End of rant....

</div><div>I feel you on the water issue. It only happens in the shower and not in any of the sinks! I've had to put up with this for over a year, now and it sucks. Thank goodness the weather is warmer so if it goes frigid cold, I don't scream like a mad woman! lol.

My WTF is about my friend and FMIL...

So, my FMIL works for a tax preparer who is notorious for being unresponsive. I guess it was my bad to refer my friend to her, but she went to her anyway. Mind you, my friend submitted her taxes to the preparer a week before tax day on April 10 and was seriously expecting them to be done the following Friday--April 13. Really?! Talk about unrealistic.

Anyway, the preparer ended up not being able to have my friend's taxes done by tax day on April 17, even though my friend asked if she would be able to, but wasn't given a straight answer. So I end up being in the middle of it all because she doesn't want to communicate with the preparer nor my FMIL. They are both older Asian women and I swear there is a wall that separates generations. They just don't listen!

I kept texting my FMIL the same thing over and over again--that my friend wants her stuff back and wants to file with someone else. I told her this maybe 5 times since tax day up until I was able to retrieve my friends documents last week.

Fast forward to today, my FMIL sends me a text message asking me if my friend reurned her e-file authorization to the preparer because the preparer said that she hasn't mailed it back, yet. REALLY?! WTF?! After I told you a gazillion times that she does not want her taxes filed by her?!

I honestly don't know how much clearer I can get and I pretty much have said the exact same thing the other times as well. I said things like, "She doesn't want her taxes filed by the preparer, she wants her documents back." "She doesn't want her to file her taxes anymore, she wants her stuff back so she can file with a different preparer." How is that not clear???

*sigh. Serious barriers...

PS Sorry this was so long...this just made me think of so many other issues I had with my FMIL in the past. She's very difficult to deal with and just does not listen! Argh...so frustrating...!

OMG Jenn- I can't believe he made an alcohol suggestion!!

Jen- How did you find out? Did you two ever discuss having other people around them?

Cathy- When do they plan on getting them replaced? Anything they can do about the water? I know in homes it is like that, but it shouldn't be like that in an apartment building.

Britt- Hopefully the daughter isn't paying too much attention to her grandmother! How can she say something like that?! I can sort of understand her suggesting school, maybe as a way to get her around friends and out of the hospital, but suggest it once and leave it at that. She is 13, old enough to understand what is going on and make a decision in my opinion.

My WTF- I already mentioned this but I found out on Monday that I have chronic bronchitis and apparently it can last up to 12 weeks! If it does last that long (I hope not!) I am only about 4 weeks into it, and that is if the original "cold" was even bronchitis or if that started sometime after. Fun summer for me!! At least it is underway now, rather than starting a few weeks before the wedding I suppose. It just sucks because I go into these coughing fits and can't sleep (and neither can FI), and I don't know how I am going to make it with my summer classes starting on the 21st. I will be at school from 8:30 am til after 9 pm Mon-Wed. I need my sleep!!

jtoly · May 2012

Nicole I hope you feel better! That sucks being sick that long I have a WTF #3 My dtr just came home from school and said her check engine light is on. Seriously I can't pay for anything to be wrong with her car, I already need to pay back FI for my $850 effing tires.....and HELLO, I'm getting married in 7 days, I need my money! At least she will not have her car while I'm away so I won't worry about it until I get back!

nicolej518 · May 2012

Hopefully it is something simple like a fuse or something. Mine has been on for a while. Something (I can't tell you what it was), kept popping up causing my car to stall. I switched over to premium gas and it hasn't been so bad.

That is a ton of money for tires!!! We usually get "used" ones that are like brand new so it is much cheaper. They better last for all that money!!

ginadog · May 2012

Jen - I'm sorry you're dealing with that!

WTF is RIGHT!

Flying home to see my sick father tomorrow. I REALLY do not like going home. My mom always pulls some dramatic nasty crap on me, ruining our relationship even more. I have a lot of resentment with my dad and my childhood and he has the nerve to proclaim, "I could die tomorrow and have no regrets!" Seriously? You lived a morally poor life and hurt your loved ones repeatedly. You need to have regrets. I don't have the energy to bring those things up with him, so I'll just look into getting some therapy.

Still have no idea when/where our wedding will be. We're going to wait until dad passes as was the original plan. I was ready to book Canada for August, but I chickened out. I was worrying too much about him dying that week. I am pretty sure I won't ever plan a wedding with guests ever again - they caused me undue stress.

I am slowly getting better with this plan, because before it was driving me batty not being able to preplan. Preplanning is such a nice distraction for me when dealing with all the issues on the homefront when I can do nothing 1500 miles away. Now I'll just sit and wait and go through this awful pain of loosing a parent, then we can get married. Blah.

WTF Wednesday!!
