<-- is slightly hyperventillating here in the library
<-- waves to everyone ^^ and <-- apologizes for not reading ^^
<-- cannot believe the email <-- just got from sis :eek:
<-- says we have been working our butts off figuring out how to get to Lake Tahoe for 3 days around Christmas because she's potentially moving to Reno and doesn't want to spend Christmas by herself, and DH and <-- both work or are in school every day up until and after Christmas and sis hasn't worked since May and M&D are retired and the 3 of them are requesting to all meet up in Tahoe (a 5 hour drive, btw) and we finally said we could come Dec 22-24 and then sis just sent <-- an email saying she "wouldn't freak out until [she] finds out whether or not she'll be working in Reno over the idea of not being able to spend Christmas AT ALL without [her] sister and brother"
<-- could just aboot shoot her
<-- is clearly lying ^^ because <-- is actually shaking while typing this :eek:
<-- cannot get over them
<-- should really try to get over them
<-- will instead come and complain to you right now
<-- is clearly not studying for tax, either, btw, which is a whole additional level of stress
<-- is considering walking over to Starbucks now
<-- says they were closed (!!) on the way in this morning :eek: !!!

ETA: <-- asks Robin for a definition of "Trichophyton mentagrophytes" please :7
 
<--says Ame, are you saying she is not including the 3 days you'll be spending time with the family at Christmas as spending time with the family at Christmas?
<--says that is highly illogical
Ms. Shoppingpants
 
<--- just got home from a long day of running around and is beat
<--- 's new shoes came today and guess what? They don't feet and they feel terrible on, although they are beautiful
<--- is very frustrated about the whole shoe thing
<--- agrees with Robin that Shelley's pants are actually too long for capri's rather than too short
<--- has ALWAYS been very leery of women in authority over other women
<--- thinks she may have told Shelley that at one point
<--- says before you all go ballistic, <--- realizes that some women make wonderful bosses and she has had a few, but many are just ugly
<--- has been in a female dominated profession all of her life and found it had many drawbacks
<--- is very happy to see more men entering the nursing profession as a little testosterone is needed to balance out the estrogen levels
<--- will now step down off of her soapbox:D :p
<--- will also help Robin beat up Shelley's boss}(
<--- informs Amy that the thing Robin posted is a fungus that causes itchy feet, she thinks
 
<-- tells Nance yup she is saying that isn't spending time with the family because she is a pastor
<-- says if Christmas is on a Sunday, then she'd be working Dec 24 and Dec 25... and we want to be there Dec 22 and Dec 23... so <-- doesn't really get it
<-- is perhaps thinking that Reno and Lake Tahoe are too far apart?!
<-- thought they were right next to each other...
<-- is massively frustrated with the family who wants <-- and DH to be traipsing here and there with them... Christmas is only the first trip they want us to take!
<-- also does not understand why we have to go to M&D's anniversary trip this year
<-- does NOT want to go!!!
 
<--is having a lot of trouble focusing today
<--says Michele's comments remind <-- of an attorney <-- worked for who must have weighed at least 300 lbs. and apparently hated <-- for not being overweight
<--says she was the nastiest thing imaginable, and extremely bright which made it 100x worse because she used to devise schemes for torturing <--
<--x( x(
<--has had nasty male bosses as well
<--is very glad that is all behind her now! :D
<--must stop free-associating and visiting this board!!
Ms. SP
 
<-- pleads with Nance to please stick around and free associate
<-- tells her if <-- chat with Nance it's like <-- am studying for tax :7
<-- says a conversation with an attorney is just like studying, right?! :+
 
<--- forgot to stop at the grocery story and now has to go back outx(
<--- is making lentil soup for dinner and tells Nance that it only has like 50 calories per serving:p
<--- will first stop by Mel's Diner for a steaming, hot cup of coffee
<--- will leave a huge tip for Sparkly
<--- tells Ame to just tell her fam damily she can't make it, and strongly urges her not to participate in something if she really doesn't want to
<--- thinks it's important to spend a certain amount of time with damily but it doesn't have to be on the actual holiday
<--- thinks if damily gets upset it's their problem and you needn't let it get to you
<--- wonders if she read it right that Ame's sister is a minister!?!?!?!?
<--- thinks she's not behaving in a very ministerly (if that's even a word) manner
<--- just can't get her down off her high horse today:eek: }( :p
 
<---yeah!
<---yeah!yeah!yeah!
<---Yeah!
<---punch, jab, punch, jab
<---cannot believe how violent <---has been today
<---tells Ame to breath in, breath out, move on
<---seriously, thinks Ame needs to say once to her family "I am a full time student with a job. My husband works full time. We will try to get together with you over the holidays, but it will have to be on our schedule." Then let them rant and rave and talk about you to each other, but stay out of it. The next time someone calls or emails, say "I told you our position." Then hang up.
<---thinks she gives very good advice, but you can take it or leave it
<---would probably not take her own advice, since <---in a winnie when it comes to confrontation
<---and sends a foot massage to poor deformed Michele's feet
 
<--- didn't realize Robin was one of the Powerpuff Girls
<--- says she kicks villain butt in <---ville:p :7
<--- agrees with Robin's advice to Ame
<--- finds herself agreeing with Robin a lot lately
<--- just printed up her Zappos return lable and is off to the UPS store:-(
<--- edits to thank Robin for the foot massage
<--- forgot to ask what got Robin's goat today and if there's anything <--- can do?
 
<--was so sorry to hear about Michele's shoes
<--is really bad about getting to the UPS store when she needs to
<--usually winds up keeping stuff that doesn't fit! x(
<--is glad Michele is not doing that
<--doesn't quite compute what's going on with Ame and Sis
<--had no idea Sis was a pastor
<--doesn't even know what a pastor is!
<--is relieved to hear about the lentil soup calories
<--is having a bout of anorexic thinking, which will no doubt pass after Wednesday's meetings, or at least after Friday's meeting
<--has 2 scarey meetings on Wednesday and one scarey meeting on Friday
<--is going to be ascared for awhile x( x(
<--may have to distract herself with more shopping }(
<--wonders if Ame took that test yet?
Ms. Scaredypants

<--edits to tell Nancy that all that worrying will probably be for nothing
<--thinks Nancy should just take care of herself so she's ready for those meetings
 
<--peeks head out of the dark, sleeping corner of the HH
<--hopes all the fam damily issues get fixed soon!!!
<--hopes Michele finds some shoes

<--called office to tell them what needed to be on the paperwork, but has yet to hear from the nitwit nurse if it's been done!x(

<--is awaiting to see what shows up to open something for this evening!:D :9 :*
 
<-- is done with the tax exam
<-- says it was 15 multiple choice questions, 10% of our grade, and if you answered a question right it was 4 points and every wrong was -1 point.
<-- has never understood the math behind those things
<-- would love to follow Robin's advice, buuuut
<-- is in charge of Rocking The Boat in <--'s family and <-- is just now recovering from having to do so in high school... 14 years later
<-- doesn't have the time or money for the therapy that something like Robin's suggestion would take
<-- tells Nance that a Lutheran pastor = Catholic priest, so she went to seminary and all that jazz, but it's just the Catholics who put rules on it like gender and marriage
<-- wonders if today's revelation explains a bit of why <-- has not "been okay" with sis for several years??
<-- says it isn't the religion thing in the slightest, it's the perception (exactly what Michele said^)
<-- is going to go and catch the train home now!!!
<-- will bbl
 
<--appreciates Ame's explanation
<--LOVES Ame's statement that she "is in charge of Rocking The Boat in her family"
<--has the same duties in her family
<--tells Ame that after many years of thinking of herself as the "bad" one and the "trouble maker", finally learned that she was actually the strong, healthy one who just could not ignore the elephant in the middle of the room
<--never really enjoyed the role, and is sure that Ame doesn't either
<--is still free-associating and not concentrating
<--can't wait for all the anxiety to be behind her
Ms. Goinghomepants
