On the cell phone thing... I was in the restroom in Target once and a lady came in on her phone. She was still talking to the person even as she was going. She then said, "I wonder why so-and-so won't talk to me anymore." I muttered under my breath "Probably because she heard you going to the bathroom." That's just gross. That and the other lady who was having a massive BM and was on her phone at school one time.

I try my best and do all I can to always be there for any friend or family member, even coworker, or online friend when they are going through things.. However, sometimes I just want to crawl in a hole and not listen to anyones problems. They start getting me down too.

I hate it when I'm working on a paper or assignment and have two or three sentences left. These two or three sentences will make or break my paper and I want them to be good, but the creative juices are not flowing. S.o. c.l.o.s.e!

So, my birthday is on Sunday and I've been guilted into having lunch with my family when I really don't even want to. Now my mom is getting all weird b/c I haven't picked a place to have lunch, but I know I don't want BBQ, which was her idea.Um, isn't it MY birthday?? Do I just not get a say in what happens all day?

Sorry, I guess I have no advice, just wanted to say, I've kinda been there.

This is totally off the subject of anyone's post, but I am having a day from h3ll. Just one thing after another. Worst problem today: I think we're going to have to give my dog away. She's tearing up our apartment, and we've only been there 1 month! I've been crying about it all morning and just don't know what to do. This really isn't like her at all. She's never been an angry dog, but all of a sudden she's biting at people, tearing up pillows, blankets, carpet...she's being a little hellian! I don't want to give her away, but FI and I cannot afford for her to tear up the brand new carpet or any thing else for that matter. She's a 5 year old shih-tzu/chihauhau mix..a 10 pound dog, and has completely destroyed her METAL cage and a netted/cloth cage. If we do decide to give her away, who would even want her? I've totally made her un-wantable (new word for ya).

Since no one defined "butt-hurt"...It's the same as getting one's panties in a wad or getting all huffy over something (usually) trivial.

maykious · October 2009

Call the Dog Whisperer, bdette!!! I'm also going to just pull everything off topic and say that FI just texted me that the bride, groom, and MOB of Tuesday's wedding all have H1N1. Swell. I've never been paranoid or a hypochondriac and I had super minimal contact with them, but that's not exactly good news. The MOB works in the same office as the woman I sat next to at the table. Mostly, I feel really bad for the newlyweds. I hope they get over it before they go on their honeymoon.

BanannaP · October 2009

haha, thanks almoyo!

bdettecrow · October 2009

I wish we could afford to send her to a obediance school, but we really truely cannot. =(

juliebug1997 · October 2009

Mandy,Usually the rule in our family is that the birthday person gets to pick. So, yes, you should get to pick!

maykious · October 2009

Bdette, obedience school doesn't mean anything unless you really stick with it afterwards. I have a friend who spent over $100 on training for her dog and readily admits that our puppy is better behaved and we haven't spent a dime on training. I think if you can do some serious reseach and possibly take a little time off and spend some serious time with her and keep with whatever you've taught, you can fix it. I'm sorry for you though. I know it's tough and no one wants to give their pets away. I had a friend who had to give her cat away because he got destructive and although it's been months, she still gets really sad whenever she thinks about it.

bdettecrow · October 2009

I was thinking about that...about taking some time to retrain her, but it's just not possible. I only have the honeymoon vacation time left and I don't think a weekend would do any good. FI and I are going to talk about it this weekend and make a decision.

maykious · October 2009

Aw, I'm sorry then. I wish you good luck with whatever you choose.

bdettecrow · October 2009

Thanks May

Hey, maybe I'll bring her to you and you can retrain her. haha I kid, I kid.

On WoW: For more than a couple of people I've encountered personally, online multi-player RPGs have a tendency to become a lifestyle in lieu of having real human-to-human relationships. Total life-suck. All of the people I know have kicked the habit and quit the game, but only because they realized the havoc it was wreaking on their bodies (weight gain) and relationships.I know that not all people are affected that way. My experience is by no means a broad generalization of all RPG players, only my brother and cousins-- just explaining my baditude toward WoW.

On WoW: For more than a couple of people I've encountered personally, online multi-player RPGs have a tendency to become a lifestyle in lieu of having real human-to-human relationships.This happened to my little brother in the dark phases of XBOX Live--he and his friends stopped hanging out and only communicated with eachother through gaming.It's gotten better now that school is back in, but I swear, my kids wont even know what video games are as long as I can keep it that way.

cherrrylll · October 2009

One time I invited a friend from work to some event I planned and she had to decline because she had a raid planned that night with her guild. o_0I love games, but you have to get some human interaction on.

juliebug1997 · October 2009

I was dating a guy several years ago that would come to my apt. and play it. "I just need to check on my situation" or whatever it was. The final straw was when he said he couldn't talk to me or see me for a couple of days because his WoW was critical right now. I'm glad Bill doesn't play it.

nae82 · October 2009

I'm glad DH despises video games.. Though, I really wish he'd buy me a Wii

Tiffany618 · October 2009

bdette - It can be very traumatic for a dog to make a move. Is it your dog or FI's dog? Did you live together with FI before? Maybe it is distressed over a new home and the fact that it is no longer the center of attention.It should calm down once you get it into a new routine. Could you and FI maybe spend the weekend in working with him/her and make it feel more relaxed and at home?Sorry

cherrrylll · October 2009

I think Fantasy Football/Basketball is a life-suck.Before Aaron got into that, he'd only watch Dallas games. Now he wants to watch every single game on while staring at stats on the computer and texting on his iPhone. Then he'll have long discussions about players and trades over the phone with the other guys. We can't go anywhere without him constantly checking stats on his phone. Drives me nuts!

juliebug1997 · October 2009

Rene: here's something that can bolster your request for a Wii. They're going down in price.

nae82 · October 2009

Sweet! Thanks Julie!!!

bdettecrow · October 2009

Maggie is my puppy...she's always lived with me at my grandparents house, but because she's been acting this way lately, Grandpa told me she has to stay at the apartment with FI (I'll move in after the wedding). Every day I come home at lunch to spend time with her and walk her and I'm with her in the evenings till it's her bed time. I can understand her being traumatized over not being the center of attention anymore. She's a very spoiled little girl. (Which is so obvious to all of ya'll, seeing how I talk about her like she's my child haha) We're down to the last 2 months before the wedding, so we have showers or other wedding related things to do on weekends...I can understand she misses us, or at least me. She could care less about FI. She doesn't like boys. Next weekend is actually free...I may make it a Maggie Weekend...I'll go take her for doggie ice cream and a run in the park maybe.

Tiffany618 · October 2009

Aww Maggie weekend! That is sweet.

maykious · October 2009

Cheryl, I totally agree. I really hate it because FI has both the TV and computer. I would love to be doing some serious wedding vendor research during that time, but it's difficult without the internet. I guess I'll just have to make a standing pedicure appointment for the next several Sundays... :)Bdette, good luck! I hope that's all she needs.

bdettecrow · October 2009

I think she'd like it. She loves attention.Here's a picture of her w/ FI...my little hot dog.

resoundingnoise · October 2009

I've had a killer headache the past two days, and I'm really hoping it's the flu. I just want something to make me sick enough so that I have to stay home from work. Is it horrible that I want some time off that bad?? I'm sick of hearing about celebrities and their affairs/sex tapes/etc. Honestly, I think it's their personal business, and we shouldn't have to hear it at all. For all we know at this point, David Letterman's girlfriend/wife was involved in all this as well. The media needs to realize that it only hurts and humiliates the FAMILIES(sorry, my bold button is gone) more by constantly publicizing it. It's their business, who are we to judge what they do in their personal time?

maykious · October 2009

OMG, resounding I know exactly how you feel. There are some days when I wonder how terrible it would be to break my leg so I can stay home for a couple weeks. I've decided that's not a good sign and it may be time to reconsider my career. I've got a vacation from the 12th through the 16th, but if I can get the flu (from that wedding, perhaps?) and stay home all of next week, I definitely won't be upset about it.
