<--points out that fo'shizzle is similar to pizazz but with a fancynancy twist
<--is lol at Nancy's comment regarding SIL
<--has bit tongue for many years and now is as good as time as any to let her know that <-- will no longer stand for it
<--'s SIL prides herself on keeping the family together and being "the problem solver" and at times the family martyr
<--'s SIL has had plenty o'"suggestions" but has not offered to be part of the solution (although she does help <--'s mom quite a bit)
<--thinks she needs to realize that in this case she is driving a wedge and her problem solving skills are very much overstepping the boundaries
<--thinks <-- is too old to be spoken to like a child
<--would love to chill with Lorie at the holidays and promises not to comment about dog food

Cathlete
<---sneaks into thread and waves hi to the OAL ladies
<---misses posting with you gals
<---has so much going on at work can barely keep her head above water
<---thinks she needs someone to throw her a life preserver
<---did read Beav's post though and would love to give her SIL a good smack up the side of the head
<---wonders though if Beav's SIL is focusing on her to try and not deal with her own situation???
<---thinks she might be feeling very helpless and is channeling that into trying to control other things - like Beavs?
<---sends Beavs hugs and hopes the holidays go well despite her SIL
<---had a blast this weekend making the front of her house into a "haunted" house
<---says she even has scarecrow people siting on her porch rocking chairs with flashing strobe lights focussing on them
<---had her parents bring her nephew over on Sunday and he thought it was the coolest thing
<---hopes it makes the long walk up our driveway worth it for the tricker treaters next week
<---has to run now :'(
<---will try to get back for more personals!

<---Weakly waves to ^^^ and all who follow...
<---Is sorry for the absenteeism lately
<---Says Frankie died on Friday
<---Has been crying because <---called the vet to put him down and was alone with vet (DH would have been there, but couldn't leave work early)
<---Spent the day digging a grave for dear Frankie near his brother
<---Looked like an idiot with dirt all over her face with tear marks
<---DH family cannot understand why <---is so upset
<---After two days of hearing crappy comments from them, lost it and told the group to kiss my butt and stormed out.
<---Doesn't understand people who do not treat their pets as family members; WTH!
<---Doesn't want to spend the holidays with them either...thinks she will bring Beavs to our house.
<---Not in the mood to even look at in laws right now...all that <---can think to say is "Bite Me!"
<---Is tired of taking care of that family (participates in ALL nieces and nephews birthdays, holiday get togethers...) and getting so little in return
<---Says that this incident is just the icing on the cake...nothing new but is definitely the last straw
<---Feels sympathy for DH...he is obviously embarrassed by his family
<---Will attempt to get along for his sake
<---So needless to say is very glad to be back to work today
<---Says that there is no need for HH today...is on the war path!
<---Thanks all of you for your kind wishes the past few days...you guys are the bestest

<--- was livid

<--- shares that the co-worker who made the scathing comment had a dog who was getting on and needed to be put to sleep, but he didn't want to pay the vet to do it and was considering taking it out to the country to have his cousin (who owns a farm) shoot the dog to save some money
<--- was heartily sickened by that whole conversation

<--- doesn't even know what to say about Beavs SIL, but is sure Liann is right, and she is just taking out her pain and sorrow on you
<--- will keep your entire fam damily at the top of her prayer list
<--- has been following a rotation for 21 days -- the prescribed length of time in which habits are supposed to form
<--- can now say with complete authority that the whole 21 day thing is a lot of hooey
<--- is blowing off her workout to play outside and peruse an antique shop or 2 or 3
<--- sends well wishes, hugs, kisshies, prayers, and vibes -- a little something for everyone

<---((((((MELISSA))))))
<---is so sorry about Frankie
<---is so angry about people who don't understand how special our pets are to us
<---would also like to take Shelley's coworker and Melissa's DH's family "out to the country" }(
<---LOVES Doodle's costume - hot hot HOT!
<---is sorry that Michele wasn't able to form a habit in 21 days
<---thinks the amount of time it takes to form a habit depends on the habit being formed
<---for example...
exercise habit: loooooong time
shopping habit: short time
drinking habit: 1 day of trying to form an exercise habit, or trying to break a shopping habit
