Absolutely! WR posts FAIL when there is no PIP.
Maybe that's why so many people don't like WR posts? Start PIPing, people!

I confess that I wear actual pants maybe 2 times a week, lol. I am either in pajama pants or workout pants. Working from home has turned me into a bum, lol. Although, I am not really a fan of pants to begin with, so that probably influences it a bit too.

Haha, my mom had someone calling her every day for a long time trying to talk to some lady named Ruth. Wrong number. My mom explained it to her over and over and finally had to get rude so she'd stop calling, lol.
A couple of months ago I had someone text me something from an unrecognized number. It seemed to be in code or something, so I asked FI and he said it was a bunch of slang for drugs, lol. I don't know this stuff. I just ignored it.
Elle: We used them for our engagement party invitations (we as in my aunt asked me to pick out the ones I liked but she bought them & planned/threw the party -- I didn't throw my own e-party). They were really cute. And I love the pic of Reese, hahahaha

I felt like this too, plus it didn't help that I didn't really enjoy doing the stuff that there was to do. Don't get me wrong, I loved my wedding and all, but I was not all "OMG, wedding planning is so fun and I like spending hours everyday looking for ideas" (not that there's anything wrong with that, it just wasn't me). All I can say is, I'm glad it's over. I enjoy giving advice to other people on what I did or didn't do though, because now I don't have to even care about making those decisions for myself anymore.

Re: Confessions
I confess that for the first time, 90+ credits into my degree, I'm wondering what the hell I'm going to do with it. I've always had the Air Force as a plan but with huge DoD budget cuts and a non-technical degree, I'm starting to doubt my chances.
I'm even more nervous since I started to realize it's going to be way more difficult to pay for law school than I originally thought...

Absolutely! WR posts FAIL when there is no PIP.
Maybe that's why so many people don't like WR posts? Start PIPing, people!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : I agree. The problems are my sisters (9 & 19), & the fact of no matter how far i push her out our cut her out, she wedges back in. Family health issues bring us back, etc. Family means a lot to me, and i have tried for years to make it work. Trying to find a happy medium isn't working
Posted by IrishDreamer[/QUOTE]
<div>I'm going to butt in because as you might remember I had a really bad relationship with my dad. And I got a lot of great advice about that situation from you guys here and I've never been happier now that I cut him out of my life. </div><div>
</div><div>Something that is really important to remember, if you're the one putting in all the effort to make a relationship work and the other person is not then maybe the relationship is just not going to work. This is true about friends, SOs, AND family, IMO. </div><div>
</div><div>You can't make someone want to have a relationship with you, KWIM? I still have to see my dad every now & then but I stopped expecting him to be a father to me and I stopped going out of my way to have a relationship with him and I am so much happier now. </div><div>
</div><div>I know what you're going through, it's a really hard decision to make when it comes to a parent. But you only have one life and it seems like she is extremely toxic and makes you miserable every chance she gets, you don't need or deserve that Irish. </div><div>
</div><div>I hope some of this helps. :::HUGS::::</div>

You could check out vistaprint. They always have deals and they have options for putting your own design on whatever you want. And anything I've ever ordered has been of good quality.
