Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Vent thread
We have vents in our bathroom and I'm debating on opening the master bathroom because if you take a bath, you're cold
We opted for the fix instead of cash toward a new machine. They've rescheduled twice. Our appointment was scheduled for tomorrow morning "they'll call the day before to confirm and give a time estimate." It's getting late and no call. I have to leave in 20 minutes and will be out of commission so opt to try call them.
Of course I don't have a contact number. So I have to wait on hold for Samsung to retrieve that number. It was 4 minutes of hoops and "hold times are currently up to 10 minutes use the website." The website gives no info and immediately after getting through the hoop I get an agent. She gives the number for the place....it's a California number. I'm in OHio.
I call that place. Hold 15 minutes to get an agent. "You are confirmed between 8-5. The technician will call tomorrow." What time will he call? by 10! um, I'm supposed to have a morning appointment.
I really don't want to spend the day before we're leaving for thanksgiving stuck in the house. I have 2 desserts, 2 apps, salsa, a veggie tray, and pumpkin muffins to make! grrrr
He picks her up from there to go to gymnastics. For some reason he can't seem to grab her hair in a pile and tie it up. I'm not asking for French braids or a ballet bun. Grab and secure. He makes her take a hair tie so I can also take care of that in those 25 mins.
I know you all think political commercials are over. But they aren't where I live, so I'm bringing the torture to you
.
I live in Louisiana. We are weird in that we do "run-off" elections all the time. Usually for governor and Senate seats. First there is one election. If one person wins by a large margin, they win. But usually it narrows it down to the "top two". Who then run off against each other in an election a few weeks later.
At any rate, there is still one Senate seat "up for grabs". So the political commercials continue on.
In the most recent commercial for one of the candidates, he fires a shotgun in the air at the end of it. Fires. A. Shotgun. My jaw dropped when I first saw it. Did that just really happen? Seriously!?!?
For the record, although I tend to lean liberal, I'm fairly pro-gun. I think shotguns are great both for hunting and, oddly enough, perfect for home defense. But that doesn't mean I want to see one of my Senate candidates firing one in his ad. So odd and inappropriate!
And then people wonder why the rest of the country views us as redneck bubbas. All it needed was an endorsement from our own David Duke to top it off with a Confederate flag themed bow.
State house and state senate ads can be quite hilarious sometimes.
They can be, lol, but I should have specified. He is running for the U.S. Senate, not the state senate. Yes, we even do run-off elections for Congressional positions.
I can well understand why Alaska is pro-guns. They should be. A lot of wilderness and guns are needed for both hunting and protection. Protection from wildlife! Not just intruders.
But still eye-rolling in a political ad. And a democrat at that. Tsk. Tsk.
It was the budget, not the ACA, and it was a shotgun, not an AR. It's been a couple years since I've seen it.
It was Joe Miller, a tea party candidate for senate, who did the ACA with two different guns. And Dan Sullivan (who won and is now one of our two senators) shot up a TV with a handgun.
Links to to all of those are in this article if you care to watch. The democrat is the first one.

"!" indicates an urgent issue/emergency/respond ASAP
if a multi-million dollar piece of equipment gets delayed or blows up or something, then "!" is warranted.
if a plant has an unexpected shutdown or there is a safety incident, "!' is warranted.
if you're asking for a last minute schedule change on an important project or meeting, "!" might be warranted.
if you want to know who to talk to about a year old unpaid invoice for $500, "!" is not warranted, and I will consider sending your future e-mails direct to spam.
Apparently im a grinch this year
Oh man
I'll move on to acceptance in a week or two, but right now I'm not fit to be around people.
@redwoodoriginal that's how I feel every Mothers Day. Everyone doesn't celebrate, everyone's mom is not their best friend, and choosing to skip it doesn't make me an awful daughter/person.
Holidays are hard
@redwoodoriginal I hate all the commercialism of Christmas, too, but I still love buying gifts for people.
@kimmiinthemitten my father died in May 2002, his birthday would have been exactly one month later, Father's Day was 5 days after his birthday. I chose to get my H a gift and that was the extent of our celebration. He understood and was fine with not going to the party at his parent's. His sister, however, called and berated me for not going. She felt that because she got over the death of her estranged father in time for FD that I should have gotten over the death of my favorite person ever in time. Some people's kids...
Wow. Hugs to everyone, and especially @ThisShamanluvsaMage.
i have a feeling if you removed your uterus to beat people, it would somehow still end up pregnant.
so, congrats...?
And I agree about looking into your options to sue for medical malpractice...seriously.
They tried to offer for us to take it back before TG, but we have a 3rd car and said they could keep it. I am sick of driving a Civic. I want my wagon back...BUT I may be driving the clown car for awhile if we have to return the car and they don't have another good option.
I will say that DH, nor I, are really stressed about this since we do have the 3rd car. It's just annoying that this is going on a week and a half of them not having answers and seemingly avoiding us. I know the service manager is going to bat for us with sales, but he said they're being 'quiet' (when he talked to DH, like a week ago).
That totally sucks. I'm sorry. I keep meaning to ask you how much you love the new car, but I guess this answers that.
