One Step at at a Time - September 2016

[techie]

Hello beautiful people. Thinking of you all. Feel better Nora!

[Glass Half Empty]

I've just come home from the hospital. I managed to cuddle the little angel for quite a while and she didn't even cry! She is SO adorable. :heartbeat:

[paulywogg]

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

[SKendall]

Nora, feel better soon.

Liz, this is apple country in the PNW. I am picking apples from the ground to feed a lonely horse.
Apple dumplings sound great.

Glassie, how great to hold that little girl.

I'm going to set a date for a November 15 move. I have to give a 30 day notice here:happy2:.

I didn't know whether to buy a car here and drive, or fly with Peggy. She does not handle car travel well. Then the movers, or pod will follow. I am giving most of my stuff away, but want to keep kitchen stuff and personal posessions. Still a little overwhelming, but just have to get on with it.

Have a happy Monday.

Hey guys. Quiet here today. Skendall did you look into flying Peggy there? How much does she weigh? I know if they are small enough you can actually take them on the plane. A coworker of mine did it and it cost her $250. She got a sedative for the dog and he was fine. She, on the other said she should've taken a sedative as well! She was so worried about the dog! How long of a drive would it be?

Glassy does your son live close by? Hopefully you will see the baby often!

Not much new around here. Checked into venues for the engagement party. Looks like if we do have one we would have it at the Hilton where CJ works. They love her there and gave her a pretty good price. Boy would that be great.

Hope you all had a good Monday!

Hi All,

Liz-I vote for having the wedding at the Hilton where CJ works...especially if she gets a good deal.
I LOVE Yankee Candles...I have a bunch of them.

Watching the debate and now, it's time for bed.

Night, night, dear friends!

[paulywogg]

Hey all, debate was a snoozefest zzz,I've heard all of that stuff 100 times! I'm over it.Louie had ultrasound pics of his"little brother" again, he was showing me and said he thinks his brother is laying on a little couch in there haha!! So cute,so I found a little circle in the pic and told him that must be his t.v but Lou said his little brother can't turn the t.v on,he's such a doll probably be pissed if it's a little sister we shall see, everything is going ok in my neck of the desert, hope everyone is well have a terrific Tuesday

Hello everyone. Sorry to pop back in here just to rant, but it has been a frustrating morning.

My downstairs neighbor went to court this morning, and of course, since she is a renter, the judge dismissed her case against the condo association because she has no standing. The judge gave her 30 days to re-file her case, and instead of suing her slumlord, she is going to sue me, because, as she put it, she doesn't want to be evicted. I know this question probably makes me sound full of myself, but is she just that dumb??? She can't afford an attorney and she's filed an application with the Bar Association's Legal Aid, but I don't think they're going to take her case because she doesn't have one. But she can still take me to court as an individual and create a real headache for me. I'll countersue for fees and court costs, but I know I won't get anything out of her if she can't even pay for her own representation.

The other thing I'm really sick of is people sending me PMs on here asking me for my psychiatrist's contact info so they can get a prescription for baclofen. If I could reach through the computer screen, grab their shirt collar and shake them vigorously while shouting THERE IS NO EASY WAY OUT OF ALCOHOLISM!, I would.

Ok, that's enough ranting, but I had to get it out of my system. Now I can go on and have a better day. Thank you all for reading. Hope you all are having a good day/week/month.

aihfl - tell me your condo story again?? I have a license to manage condos.....
In the spirit of staying in my happy place, I refused to watch the debate. It's a poisonous as my work environment!
I Have a 2ND INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pauly, your story about Louis and his "brother" is adorable!!
Lizz - I vote Hyatt too....
Nora - how is your back??
As usual...I am busy....HUGE hugs to you SK.....I think sedating the doggie and putting her under the seat is an awesome idea - weight allowing.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ps.....xo Rusty! And everyone else......

[Lizann]

Pauly Louie is just too sweet! I'm sure he'll get over if it's a girl. You are sounding like you are in better spirits.

Aihfl, what a waste of time dealing with that neighbor. That would just put me over the edge. Good to hear from you though. Rant here anytime. I hope you're doing ok otherwise,

Mama, fingers still crossed for you! So happy to hear about the second interview. I hope it works out for you soon.

Nora hope everything is ok with you. Check in if you can?

CJ and I went shopping tonight. She wanted a white dress for their engagement party. We found one and it was relatively easy. It's so pretty, cream colored lace. Things are moving along. Tomorrow is our first bridal expo and when we did them with Erin they were a lot of fun. Looking forward to bonding with my girls.
Hope everyone here had a good Tuesday!

[paulywogg]

Hey all, Aihfl, I don't think I heard what happened with your neighbor,hope it gets settled, some really shitty things in my world yesterday Kells baby more than likely caught the toxoplasmosis that I was telling you about, she had an ultrasound and I guess the baby is measuring "off" in the neck area,it's not looking good that the pregnancy will proceed sad cuz I was hoping everything would be ok ya know, then Michelle called me and said she has such bad nerve pain she can hardly walk I dunno what that could be, then my mom text me she got fired for pushing a co worker, I swear I'm gonna go live in the blankie fort for the rest of my life! Hope everyone has a nice day

[Rusty]

Pauly...I am in the middle of a training conference now so I am typing off my phone, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am about Kell's baby's diagnosis, Michelle's severe pain, and your Mom's firing! Wow, woman, you are carrying a huge load of stress. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. HUGS!!

[paulywogg]

Thanks Rusty

[SKendall]

Big hugs and support for you Pauly.

[mama bear]

Oh Pauly....loads of hugs.
I found out yesterday that they want a 3rd interview!!
Lizz - so happy for you and CJ!
