If you DO decide to find a therapist and interpreter (or however you end up doing it if you do), it might be helpful for him to attend a session or two. Your therapist can help him understand it better.

I didn't go to college or grad school graduations. I tried to skip high school but my mom made me go.

Celles · February 2012

I love hot dogs and boxed mac and cheese (although I'm starting to call them Kraft dinners, lol. Canadian-by-proxy.)

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Shameful secrets. : I'm not a CPA but I am a corporate credit manager, and I am always late on my bills. Always. It's never because I don't have the money to pay them; it's just that I'm disorganized and constantly forgetting due dates until they've already passed. I'm trying to transfer responsibility over our personal finances to H, who is in consumer banking (or will be, when he's employed again). But I'm starting to realize he's just as bad. (I'm never late enough for it to report to the credit bureaus, but usually late enough to rack up late fees. Sigh.)
Posted by Celles[/QUOTE]

My main issue is that we have stuff that auto-charges to my account (gym membership, electricity bill) and I always forget when they're supposed to clear. So, I'll check my balance in the morning, think I'm good, and then by the afternoon have no money left because of the stuff I forgot about. I have to write a check for our rent and other utilities/bills, so I just wish we could find a way where everything either auto-charges, or I have to write a check for everything. Having both going on feels overwhelming.

I told H we need to have a joint checking account strictly for bills, because the system we have right now is <em>so</em> not working (him transferring me $$ every payday, then having our bills come out of my personal account). It's just too jumbled together.

I wish I could read the label and see if it's actually for KoolAid. I hope it is though. That's just too horribly awesome.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

I get my car washed once a year, if that. I keep the interior picked up and clean but I almost never get it fully cleaned.

Nebb · February 2012

I love budgeting. I fiddle around with our budget often, we usually have 4 months laid out so I can plan what's coming up. It changed but everything is paid meticulously on time. Its an obsession of mine. We have a lot of debt but I've made a major dent in it with the help of our budget.

annakb8 · February 2012

Musu, we bought a pretty brand new car in October and haven't washed it yet. I really should look into that.

cardmonsta · February 2012

I love terrible movies. I watched "Prom" yesterday.

Even though I love zombies, I'm terrified of horror movies and refuse to watch them.

I take baths every chance I can.

I learned how to ride a bike when I was 23.

number55 · February 2012

I like boxed mac and cheese (with extra cheese sprinkled on) more than homemade. I feel like this is a sin. The only exception is homemade mac and cheese with lobster. I might have to make this again soon.

Celles · February 2012

Mehg, have you thought about auto-charging to a credit card and paying that off monthly (like, before interest accrues)? I think that's what we're going to try next, for those merchants who will accept credit. We'll still have to write checks for the mortgage and some utilities, I think.

H thinks it's hilarious and still buys me the CDs and DVDs and even asked me if I wanted to go to one of their shows.

He even showed all of his friends a picture of me with my face painted...

[QUOTE]The background on my desktop at work is a romantic (sweet romantic, not sexy romantic) scene between my Sith inquisitor -- from the new Star Wars game -- and one of her NPC companions. It replaced a picture of me and H. I'm crushing on a cartoon character for the first time since Gambit, circa X-Men #45 (and that was back in the 90's, so I was... 16?). <strong>I am a hopeless failure of an adult.

Dude, whatever. Gambit was f*cking hot.

I am horrible at math, and I do science research for a living. I mean it takes me probably 20x longer to figure something out numbers-wise than most people. Once I figure it out I usually never forget how I got the answer thankfully.

<div>I haven't been to a car wash since...last spring, maybe? And I've never washed my current car on my own. When we moved here and actually have our own driveway instead of a parking lot/garage, I told myself I would start washing it myself. Yeah, hasn't happened yet. </div>

I can't get into mac and cheese at all. I love cheese, and I like pasta, but for some reason I have no desire to eat them together.

Obviously you need to try Epic Mac and Cheese. That's the only answer.

Nebb · February 2012

I lick the flavour off chips before eating them. I don't know why but I always have. It kills my tongue but its so worth it.

mehgank · February 2012

I like ICP, too. One of my high school crushes was a juggalo. He was the lead singer in their band and he was effing hot.

I also like Slipknot. And Cannibal Corpse. And Napalm Death. And Amon Amarth. Nightwish. Sepultura. Lamb of God.

I think Rob Zombie is sexy.

NuggetBrain · February 2012

I don't shave my legs between October and March. At all. I have very sensitive skin and no matter how much shaving cream and oil and crap I put on my legs they end up all tore up and razor burned and hurtful for a week afterwards. And it's winter, and I don't care, even if Noodle bitches about it, because he still wants to do me so it obviously can't be THAT bad.

In fact, during the summer I only bother to shave below the knee because I don't wear shorts or any skirts longer than that.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

My car's exterior is for real nasty right now. With all the salty shiit on the roads, it is covered in crap and I don't even like touching the door handle. heh. But spending money on a car wash is like my least favorite way to spend money, I don't know why. If I get it washed, I go to one of the fanciest car washes around here, because I only want it to be perfect. Its either super gross dirty or amazing clean. No inbetween drive-thru car wash.

The only reason I shaved several times in January was because of my wedding/HM. Now its back to hairy legs til I stop wearing pants every day. I waxed my legs for over a year so now the hair is super fine and grows sporadically anyway.
