I know some probably have already left for a four day weekend but those of us who are here can still have some fun. :-)

Re: FFF
And, while I'm doing laundry and getting ready for Disney on Sunday, I'm watching the first SATC movie. I know that the show is about fashion but who would wear dresses to pack up an apartment? That's a jeans and t-shirt kind of job. That would be like these girls who go to a baseball game (their kids' games too) wearing stilettos and dressed up like they're going out clubbing. It just looks a little ridiculous.
I'm just going to say it, every time FI and I pay for something else for our wedding, I think how RIDICULOUS I still think it is to spend this much money on ONE DAY! I know we are probably spending 1/2 or 1/4 of what a lot of girls on here are spending, but I still find it sickening that we are spending this much money on something that would mean just as much, if we went down to the JOP and saved this money for a future house, or a rainy day, or traveling...or ANYTHING else.
My boss told me today that I will have to come into the office on Monday to process everything from the weekend.... but it's supposed to be a paid holiday...
Oh well, it's Friday! And hey, atleast its not a full day on Monday... I will take what I can get!

Either my MIL or BIL put my then 5 year old nephew on facebook. My DH has had his friend request sitting there for a few months- he doesn't want to accept it because he doesn't agree with it.
We were in bed before 8 last night. Too bad it took me awhile to fall asleep after that. I would like nothing more than to take a nap.
I don't understand taking your FI wedding dress shopping with you. How is that fun?

OMG I totally agree one of my ex-coworkers has a 4 yr old son who is obsessed with cell phones and facebook. He is very smart for 4 he can take pictures on the cell phones and even knows his moms number and will call it. I know this because he just grabbed my phone and started messing with it. He also used to update her status with random letters because he cant spell. Instead of telling him no and disiplining him she just made him his own facebook that he can update whenever he wants!

I took DH shopping with me because we were new in the area and I didn't have any friends locally at the time. I tried going shopping with not-so-close acquaintances, and it was actually less fun because it was awkward--I didn't know if they were advocating for their own taste, and I didn't know how honest they were being about the pros and cons of various styles. DH was the person who was going to give me the most honest feedback about what looks good and what suits my personality, etc.
I now realize (and see!) why the married knotties on this board always seemed mean to some people when I was planning my wedding. It's because they didn't listen and it was frustrating to watch them contemplate (and often make!) stupid decisions which deliberately ignored sound advice.

I'm sure there are some situations where it works ok. I've just been in some bridal salons where the FI is sitting there giving faces and nitpicking. I wouldn't want my (then) FI seeing me in beautiful dresses and finding things to critique. I also like the surprise factor on the wedding day.
I didn't read that because I wasn't that interested but that is crazy. There's so much with liability and just having strangers at your place. I agree with your statement: Hell to the no and I will add a awwww, hell no.
[QUOTE]I have an old co-worker on my facebook (grown woman, married, with 3 kids, and works full time) who has updated her status 7 times this morning. (yes, I just counted) Seriously?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever considered one of the "mean" knot girls now. Not that I've got into it with anyone. I just know that my attitude on here has changed from when I first became a member. I used to get butthurt about any little comment and FFF things. Now, I've relaxed and don't take things quite so personally.
My aunt and uncle won't come to visit my mom unless one of us is there. They said that the nurses made them feel a little uncomfortable when she was in the ICU. I get that. But now I have my aunt emailing and texting me asking when we're going to be there all the time. I tell her but they never show! I don't think she's seen my mom since before the big surgery five weeks ago now.
And to piggy back on that....
The people who ask me if my mom has gone home are driving me crazy. They opened up her head!!!!! They performed a relatively experimental surgery on her (the neurosurgeon has performed it less than 15 times)! She's not going home any time soon. I had someone ask that a few days after her surgery.
[QUOTE]I don't know why I do, but I get really ticked off at the people in our building that keep parking in the handicap space with no tag or license plate. If you are in need of that space (although all the other spots right next to it are open) then I feel like you should do it right and at least get a tag, even if it is only temporary.
Posted by llc2011[/QUOTE]
My FI has a son who is handicapped. His son's mother will use the handicapped tag to park in those spots even when he;s not in the car. That pisses me off....
I was annoyed when my cousin parked in the "Expectant Mothers" spot at the grocery store the week after he found out they were pregnant. There's only about 2 of those spots in the lot and it was summertime and I'm sure someone further along in their pregnancy could've used that. Very immature.
PS - I responded to you on the DIY post!
