    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : Would it be better for you guys to have separate accounts but both contribute to a joint 'house/bills' account? Then you each contribute a percent of your income for bills, but the rest you can spend however you please?
    Posted by ErinG93[/QUOTE]

    I would love this, but it wouldn't fly with him.  He's very old fashioned that he thinks we should have joint accounts and everything that we own is ours and all that.  It's not a big deal, we are just working on our budget and as long as we both stick to it, then it'll be fine.

  • Amy, I didn't tell H until I told him about having to remove it because it was stuck.  Even then, I'm sure that he didn't want to know.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : Nope, just he is quitting and going back to school. I'll still be working. I'm not that crazy! We're both on my work health insurance policy, and it's a good one, but thousands of dollars of bills will still be a lot of money for us on one income. When I crunched the numbers I'm making just enough for us to get by.
    Posted by Natrasha[/QUOTE]

    Hmmm must be someone else around here then. I remember reading they were both going back to school in the fall and basically living off loans.

  • Here's another one: I just got an email from the district that our local HUD is offering any qualified educator in my district a home in the city for 50% off the current value of the home. We would enter into a drawing and the winner would be able to own a home for $47,500 and would get FHA backing and only have to pay $100 down payment which includes closing.

    The address is about a half mile from where we currently rent a house, and I did the math, and if I'm right, our mortgage would be about half of what we pay in rent, and that is including insurance and taxes. I want to enter, but I'm thinking FI would not be too happy if we won and it was a house he didn't like. My chances are probably piss poor, but still. I want to own so damn bad!! And it would solve any financial problems we would have if I don't get a job for the next school year.
  • I confess that I hate being dependant on H's income right now.  I know it would be impossible for me to work once I start school, but this summer I feel like such a bum.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions or UnPop Ops or something? : I think this is my issue, too. It's just the same thing over and over again.  I will admit I liked all the Final Destination movies for the most part.  The last one came full circle back to the beginning.
    Posted by edielaura[/QUOTE]

    I agree Edie - it's the lack of creativity; we won't think of anything new just redo something else.

    Cfas - I'm sure the new Spiderman will be good - I just don't get why there has to be another one.  The Toby McGuire ones aren't THAT old.

     

  • I would also never see a remake of Dirty Dancing.

    Confession, I'm pissed a FI.  His dad is a police officer and carries a gun with him when he is off duty as well.  He had it at FSIL's wedding and FI will not talk to him and ask him to leave it at home for our wedding and RD.  is it just me or is it totally inappropriate to bring a gun to a wedding?

    [QUOTE]Trashy, did you guys work through his texting other women thing? That was you, right?
    Posted by LDYGTR13[/QUOTE]

    That was me. We are in a much better place. Things aren't perfect. I haven't actually said to his face that I forgive him, but I'm kind of feeling like I have. I had free counselling sessions through my work's EAP and we used them up. We could continue going and pay for them, but she agreed that we were on the right track and she didn't think we needed to keep coming at this point. So we'll probably have a "check up" session in a couple of months just to make sure things are still improving.

    It was seriously messed up for a while, and I still can't (and don't want to) think about the actual incident, but H has made some big changes and I am slowly believing him that nothing like that will ever happen again. He really did everything right after all that mess. I just wasn't sure if I could accept it and trust him again. To be honest, for a while there I wished my H and Bay's H were switched. She needed him to work harder and I kind of wished that my H acted like a douche so I could just dismiss the whole situation.

    That was long. We are not perfect but we are getting back to a good and healthy relationship and I am so very happy about that.

    <div>I'm probably really biased, but we had some on-duty officers stop by to say hello at our reception. They were most definitely packing. I find it a little odd that your FFIL carries all the time, but both my dad and FIL are cops and carry pretty often. </div><div>
    </div><div>I can't remember if they were carrying at our wedding. I really don't think it's a <em>huge </em>deal, but maybe a little weird that he is so into carrying his gun. Why won't FI talk to his dad?</div>

    Maybe because I grew up in a cop family, but I don't see it as that big of a deal. There will be several cops at our wedding, and I fully expect several of them to be carrying.

    As long as they are responsible with it (not running around showing it off), it's NBD to me.

    For an off-duty cop that has it on him all the time, I don't think that's inappropriate. I am pretty comfortable with guns, though.

    [QUOTE]This opinion may not be that unpopular, or I may get flamed to high heaven, but I really do not and will never understand naming one's child Nevaeh. It's only on my mind because a woman at the grocery store yesterday was yelling for her little girl to come back from down the aisle, and that was the name she was yelling. I just don't get it.  I know there are lots of variables and social and cultural issues that go into naming children, but Nevaeh is just ridiculous to me. 
    Posted by divinemsbee[/QUOTE]

    I am in the process of cleaning out our files at work - I came across Tequila and Tekila yesterday. 

    I am of the opinion that there are some people who decide their kids names while they are drunk or stoned. 

    What drives me crazy is when a parent comes up with some funkya$$ spelling of the name, then gets pissed that you get the kid's name wrong.

    As gross as it is Saw was pretty well done. Especially starting at 3 there story really started to develop.

    I watch mostly children movies though. After taking a movie class I got into a bad habit of analyzing movies and it kind of ruined movie watching for me.

    I'm a little nervous about this.  I've always had my own income, and up until this job I was always the one who made more money.  Now I'm not going to have any income, but I know it's better for me to get school out of the way instead of going half time for a million years.

    Maybe it's because I don't have any cop family or friends, but I woudn't be comfortable with a gun at my wedding. I'm sure nothing would happen, but I wouldn't like it. I'm not comfortable around guns though. My dad is a gun enthusiast, and has been known to carry (he has a permit, so it's legal) if he has to go into a bad area or a bad situation, like one time he had to go rescue my sister from her abusive boyfriend.. but I wouldn't be cool with him bringing one to the wedding.

    ETA - abusive EX-boyfriend now, to be clear.
