  • I had a question for someone and as soon as I posted this I forgot it. So um i'll be back with said question for said person as soon as it comes back to me. :)
    @Laurski: How is the wedding planning going? Any big stuff you have yet to do?

    @reinedecajun: I know you are super excited to get back to Louisiana, but what's one thing you'll miss in SC (you're in SC, right?)?

    @PaddyB: Are you still here? Are you loving your new job?
    The only thing i'll miss is our house and land. We live in such a beautiful area, seriously. We have one neighbor and he's a mile away. Were tucked in the middle of the woods and it's so peaceful. I love my house also it just fits us.
    I do kind of want to move where we have a few more neighbors but I dont know how that will work with big F's PTSD so im hoping we can find something a little less secluded than where we are now.
    Other than that nothing, we really have no reason to stay here other than our house :/

    @summergirl1211  I just got back from vacation last night.  I was supposed to start my new job today.  However, you will notice I said supposed to.  They "terminated" my offer verbally on Friday, and officially yesterday morning. Such a shitty way to end my vacation. 


    I have been thinking about how to post about this this morning, but wasn't sure how to start it. I am beyond pissed off.  I think their reasons are bull shit. Anyway. Now I have to start the job hunt without a job. :((

    On a more positive note, vacation was very relaxing (until friday night) and we had a wonderful time seeing family and friends.

    Say what now? Who does that? Sorry Paddy

    The house was appraised at below the agreed-upon sell price.  No one can get a hold of the appraiser. There is absolutely no reason for that to have happened.  We priced it smack in the middle of that comparable homes in the area sold for and have been appraised at.  Our home had a 1 yr old new roof and was under 20 yrs old.  NO REASON FOR THIS.

    We might lose the sale over this.  I spent last night sick to my stomach thinking about it and I feel the same way today.

    ETA: no word from our realtor yet today.


    This is just insane to me. My dad has been a realtor for a long time and Ive never heard anything like this happening... Im still hoping it works out for the best!!

    @dbliesmer They figured out what my husband does (or I should say did, he as transitioned to a different area of law) and they didn't like the publicity surrounding it - or the fact that I am mentioned in some of the articles. 

    If you google search my real name you will get a pretty good idea of what their concerns were.

    I say its bullshit because that has nothing to do with my ability to do my job or my reputation.

    ETA: it is allso complete crap because they could have (and I thought would have) google searched me before giving me an offer.  I didn't quit my old job just for fun. I did it because I relied upon their offer of employment which I accepted.
    That is pretty shitty of them.  I agree they should have google searched before they made the offer! I hope you find something better.

    Nese, zpan other fashion forward ladies: when and how did you learn to do makeup so well? Did it just come naturally? Also how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

    I've always loved make up. My mom is a minimal make up kind of lady. Like mascara and blush. I remember standng in the hallway and watching her apply her make up every day. So when I was 14 she signed me up for a Make Up Artistry class. I got a dinky certification which I lost! Wish I still had that sucker for the discount at Mac sheesh. But the class wasn't just beauty it was clown, fantasy, wax (scars/gashes/blood) really fun stuff. I wasn't allowed to wear more than mascara until I was 17 and could buy my own make up. Since then its just been my personal obsession/hobby. Its a very expensive habit.

    It takes me 15-20 minutes for my full face. Always has. I just carved out that much time each morning. Its really relaxing to me.

    ETA: I'm so weird I study the make up on models in ads in magazines. I have for years. I need an intervention lol.

    @mightybee,

    Bert & Ernie came from the Plastics... I forget which one specifically, though I am inclined to believe it was Megs. I thought it was pretty freaking adorable, and it stuck... She does look like an Ernie ;)

    Annnnnd I was channeling Jessie earlier, and I passed along your question... And I believe this is what she would have wanted to tell you, if she could still be here herself, but she can't, because TB killed her.

    "I've been poling for about 6 months Its really hard but you eventually just build up the strength You need to do the stuff. I'm going to start doing yoga because I need more flexibility."

    Edited for: stuff

    @Pinkangelmoon:

    Hi!!!!!  Thanks for asking but it has NOT been good.  Things were fine until yesterday.  My dog went after Sydney and got her left cheek.  We rushed her to the ER last night, one mark looks deep.  God, there was blood all over her and my husband.  We are seeing a plastic surgeon in 2 hours to make sure we don't need any further intervention.  She is in good spirits though, she doesn't know anything is wrong.  Her poor little face :(   

    Er doctor didn't think it needed a plastic surgeon but my pediatrician said we should get a consult, just in case.

    Ummmm.... so pretty much its almost the WORST thing that could have happened.

    I am TRYING not to be mad at him because he is really upset but our agreement was the dogs should be gated in the kitchen if only 1 parent is around.  I guess he got too comfortable and thought that the dog's aggressive tendencies had gone away.

    Its going to be a tough 4 or 5 years keeping them separated from one another (dog and babies).  We have had several trainers involved.  My dog has never bit anyone before but doesn't like small children touching her.

    Oh no @JustcallmeGG2 that is awful I'm so sorry!!  I'm sure your H just feels awful that it happened on his watch!  Poor Sydney - I hope her face heals up quickly and no further intervention is needed! Hang in there.

  • chipmunk: my husband and I both agree that pets are our family. we both have to be very diligent in watching over the dogs behavior. however I don't want this to ever happen again or we will be forced to make a decision.

  • she has snapped before but never bitten. I believe that she can stay with us with proper supervision. She is generally a very good dog.

  • I think we have a much better chance of people moving on from this if we leave it alone and stop stirring the pot for a little while. Just my two cents... 
  • barnseyam said:
    @nomad328 agreed, but we still have no mod and now there is no response to PMs.  A bit frustrating, in my opinion.
    @barnseyam I agree. It is frustrating and they are also stirring the pot by not responding. It's a messed up situation, but hopefully it will blow over soon.

  • thank you all for your concern.if you met my dog you would not say she's aggressive at all.I will be discussing this more with my dog trainer.

    you might not see me around for a while because Sydney is being hospitalized for a few days because the scratch is now infected. I need to focus on that right now and not the message board stuff about my dog.

  • GG...you know that the doctor and nurses are usually MANDATED BY LAW to report dog bites. Animal control may not let you CHOOSE to keep the dog; they may just take it or if you don't give him up, they may report you to DCF for child endangerment. I am shocked that you are even considering keeping this dog

    Really? Huh. Learn something new every day.

    Yes, at least here it is. When I worked in the ER, we were legally obliged to report every animal bite, regardless of who the owner of the animal is. The nurse/doctors/social workers/case managers/animal control could all report this as child endangerment. Obviously the dog is a threat to the child's safety

    @adorebella--What kind of social work do you do? You're a practitioner, right? Also, what kind of pie was your wedding pie?


    @mightybee  Apparently mobile doesn't give me notifications anymore and I missed this! Yup I'm a therapist/counselor/mental health worker. There doesn't seem to be any standardized word for a social worker that does therapy. Right now I work in substance abuse treatment but I'll be leaving that field when I get another job. My interview clothes are getting a workout this week so hopefully that happens soon. 

    Now the fun stuff: I had 17 pies at my wedding - Michigan four berry with a cheesecake bottom, strawberry rhubarb, apple crumb, and tart cherry. All served with a side of vanilla ice cream. OMG so amazing.

    My dad is in the substance abuse treatment field right now. He's not a SW, but a certified addictions counselor. I imagine that it's a very challenging population to work with. Good luck with all of your interviews! Are you looking in any particular field or just feel the need to switch it up? Let us know how the job search ends up. 

    Your wedding sounds like it was a pie-lover's dream. That Michigan four berry with the cheesecake bottom is making my mouth water! What a fun twist to a traditional wedding cake or even dessert bar.
    @mightybee I actually have to leave my current job because I don't have my addiction counselor certification. I've had 3 years to get it done but it costs $1000 between the courses and the exam so I've never wanted to pony up. I always assumed that getting an MSW from a top university would be all I ever needed... no dice. So I'll be leaving addiction work for now and at this point I'm pretty glad. I've enjoyed my job for the most part but working in residential facilities blows. Last night I spent 3 hours breaking up a fight and then had to discharge clients who where threatening to kill others. Ughhhh I hate that part. 

    I'm now really curious what YOU do for a living!
