Betcha only a handful of people remember that.

Sort of like they were still trying to get validation on E while at the same time shunning E out of the other side of their mouth.

Hillary, I felt the same way about my grandfather, and I was only in 6th grade when he died. He was paralized on the left side of his body for 4 years prior to his death due to several massive strokes. So he was totally different from what he was like when I was really little. It's sad, because I don't think my brother remembers much of my grandfather before he got sick.

Moose, I'll make a big confession - my highest weight was somewhere around 260. I've often thought that if I had nipped this shiit in the bud when I was around 200 pounds it would have been a hell of a lot easier. Now i'm losing weight, and I'm happy, but sometimes I'll think, "Gee, remember a few years ago when I was at this weight and depressed about being fat? And then I went and gained another 25 pounds?" Yeah.

I just had to cancel our initial, pre-pre-cana interview for the second time in a week due to FI's work commitments. He keeps getting pulled for 14-hour days because his boss can't come in/the CEO is coming for a visit "sometime soon". I feel horrible about canceling again, even though it couldn't be helped. I hate that we flaked on him - I'm also afraid he'll think we're not taking this seriously, when we certainly are.

I'm also frustrated with myself: I'm very anal retentive; I like having my ducks in a row - especially when I have a vision of something. I had a vision of us getting married in October, 2011 - every time we can't see the priest, I feel like that becomes less of a possibility, and it bothers me. I know that's irrational - we will get married, whether it's in October '11, November '11, or three years from now. That's what matters.

And while I'm at it: I'm feeling like FI's job is holding our wedding hostage. Until we meet with the priest, we can't schedule pre-cana and the ceremony. Until we do that, we can't schedule the reception, vendors, etc. But again - the rational me knows that he's good at his job and it helps pay our expenses.

Hence, I vent here. Thanks for your support.

That would be incredibly frustrating. I hope you get your October wedding.

mrscarter052011 · August 2010

I will confess that I am beyond exhausted and I snapped this morning on my realtor when she told me that the sellers (of the house that we are supposed to be closing on in a week) have not finished the repairs that my mortgage co requires. After flat out telling her that they need to get their sh$t done and we close next week or I am walking away magically things are happening. But why did I have to yell to get it done?

And I have a major case of baby fever.

missy68 · August 2010

Moose, it's tough. I ended up having to take extreme measures (but I was in much worse shape than you with lots of comorbidities). I commend you for recognizing what your weakness is and trying to deal with it. I'd say that's "half" the battle, but you and I both know that it's truly maybe a third of it.

Hang in there.

rubyredlucy · August 2010

Thanks, Squirrly. We live in Brighton, but I work about 40 mins. out of the city, so I have a reverse commute (thank god!). I can't believe that ridiculous traffic- sorry you got stuck! I avoid 93 like the plague; always traffic, no matter what time of day.

If you ever want to hang out, I'm almost always free, especially weekend nights- FI works at a bar, so I spend quite a bit of time at home with the kitties. I can show you around the city and you can get me out of the apartment :-)

Posted by arbolita[/QUOTE]

I never really fell one way or the other on the divide and I used to at least read SB (I didn't post because like Moose said, it wasn't the kind of stuff I was into), until there was what arbolita said combined with that long thread of backpatting and self-congratulations and being the superior board. Now I don't even read there anymore because omfg.

AmoroAgain · August 2010

Well, normally I'm all right with taking a nap, but it was after 5pm, sooooo.

I've made two posts on SB recently. One in Ricks about caloric intake, and the second in KA's thread about wedding regrets.

crfische · August 2010

Oh hi.

I confess that I've been feeling horribly overwhelmed lately.

Also, that I'm too lazy to keep up with any other boards than this one. And I happen to BPH the posters here, so luckily that works out for me.

I'm with ya on the "overwhelmed" part. Some days I feel like I'm drowning in things I SHOULD be doing.

mandysmear · August 2010

Naps are the best!!!

I never took them in day care. I would lay there awake for the full hour. I also slept in every morning. I was never ever ever a morning person. Even at 5. I was late for kindergarten all the time. Or I would get to school just as it started. My mom had to fight me to get out of bed.

Because of the new commute I have to wake up at 6 instead of 7 and IT'S KILLING ME. Seven wasn't bad. It's doable if you stay up til midnight. Six is just awful. Awful I tell you. I suppose I'll get used to it. When I did hair I usualy had to get up around 9 or 10. So having to get up at 7 was rough for the first 6 months.

crfische · August 2010

GAH. Just everything. I'm freaking slammed at work, and I need to learn to just say no to social invitations. I haven't worked a full week of work all summer, which is fine because I have a billion hours of PTO, but whether I'm there or not, I still have to get the same amount of work done either way.

And I need to mow my lawn. And clean my house. And go shopping to have something other than golf shirt and shorts to wear.

katiewhompus · August 2010

I confess that I roll my eyes whenever E vs SB comes up on either board. They are two different boards with two different attitudes. I don't get why there is all of the drama.

Kiki I still like you! I don't if you were talking about me or not but just throwing it out there

You too Squirrly.

I confess that every day I get more and more worried about my sil's marriage. It's been 11 years but bil being overseas has really been causing massive drama and stress and I don't know how much more she can take before she breaks. He's coming home for 3 weeks at the end of August so I'm hoping they can get it straightened out then.

I confess that I'm sleeping until 11am every day due to these freaking nightmares I keep having and I'm really worried about going back to work in 3 weeks and having a normal schedule again.

andy71781 · August 2010

I confess that I also have baby fever and that I'm not working out today due to the fact that my arm hurts from me sleeping on it wrong.

Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

Well sure, they are NOW but when it all happened, they were daily posters from E that decided they didn't like it anymore and moved away. So you can see why there was tension or hurt feelings and drama there. I don't think there's any drama anymore though at all, which I think is also supported by the comments here. Everyone is pretty much over it now.

katiewhompus · August 2010

In the beginning I get it Dani, but the fact that it is still coming up is what makes me roll my eyes. It also makes me feel like people can't post on both boards without being a "traitor" to the other when it keeps being presented as an "us vs them" kind of thing.

Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

Yeah I see your point on that but I don't see that changing honestly.

FWIW, it only came up in this thread because MrsB specifically asked what happened. She's been off busy having a baby and missed out. ;)

I don't know that it comes up on E at all. I mean, aside from this thread which is more of a "I miss people," thing. In a confessions thread. So. Yeah. Unless you're specifically talking about what comes up on SB because I have no idea if it comes up there more often than not.

kikibaby · August 2010

Courtney, can I just say I LOVE your attitude? You seriously have the best outlook on things sometimes and it makes me smile.

Mandy- I get up at 5:30!! Ridiculous. FML.

Katie- I don't really consider you either SB or E, you're a floater (not in a bad way at all) I like you too!

katiewhompus · August 2010

It doesn't come over there either Moose (unless I'm not seeing it, which is also possible because I don't read all the posts).

Yay Kiki

I've been having a rough time lately so I'm hoping I'm not turning into an uber biitch on the boards. If I am please check me
