I resisted taking the quiz, until now...field mouse, WTF?

She wants you to get rid of a claw-foot tub? Sorry to be judgemental, but that’s nuts. Your house sounds amazing.

Wow. Moms have opinions, it’s part of the whole “I raised you and know what’s best for you” thing they have going on, but to throw your stuff out without your permission? That’s, umm, a whole new level.

You are clearly the exception that proves the rule.

It sounds like he’s in a relationship with alcohol, not you, so you made the right decision. There are worse things than being single. Volunteer at an animal shelter to walk/play with dogs, you will feel loved.

I started to give myself a manicure, but pooped out after the base coat. I like the color!

Alcohol will always come first to an alcoholic, breaking up is the right thing. And even if he stops drinking, if he doesn’t deal with WHY he was drinking and work on those issues, he’s still going to be an alcoholic, just a non-drinking one.

This. When words and actions don’t match, believe the actions.

Just politely and firmly tell her, no, you are helping Great Uncle, it’s not a vacation. If she is trying to mend fences, ask her to wait until the cleanout is finished. Good luck dealing with everything.

If you are in the US, it is a long holiday weekend, so maybe that is the reason for the lack of reply.

Do you have a smartphone or tablet? If so, download the evernote app - you can take notes, record audio, and even insert pictures of the PPT slides. this may be a workaround until the Prof. offers the PPT slides.

This. If you attend school in the US, they need to accommodate your disability; if you are 21 or under, the school might be in violation of the IDEA Act by not giving you the PPT files.

My neighborhood was hit hard by Irene and even harder by Sandy, and we will have storm surges at high tide Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. That “it won’t be as bad as Irene” is little comfort, because 2 feet of water is not as much as 3 or 4 feet, but when it’s in your yard, it’s still a lot. Even if the flooding isn’t as…

I have cleaned all the things and done all the laundry, and am as prepared for this storm as I’m going to be.

(((hugs))) it’s great that you are able to go see live bands again!

I cannot face-palm enough! I’d ask for a refund...

that sounds amazing! Now I want some, I wonder how hard it is to make?

I don’t have HBO, so I hope this hits Netflix soon! Is there a drinking game - take one sip every time your actual VP has said/done something similar?
