Thanks, starlily and happywife.

Who knows how long it will take?

Not actively trying.  Just not preventing.  Again.  Lolz.

LOL.  Too soon?

You know how I feel about siblings!

I'm old.  Time is running out.

I hope the next misobaby has a dimple on the opposite side. For balance.

This is illogical. If you live there, then the people are not kind & friendly. 

Thanks for playing.

I've been afraid to post in the :post that shall not be named: all day. I feel like my life has been SO full of drama the last year+ that I look fake! (ps: I promise, the local girls have met me and my first 3 years on the :other site: were drama free, oh and I always sent gifts!

[jennysmitten]

When we were in Boston we kept saying to each other " These people are way nicer than the assholes back home". And we're from the Midwest, where people are known for being friendly.

[WOT?*]

We didn't send off our taxes until yesterday. We're getting a five-figure refund.

DH constantly frets about retirement. Yet we didn't open a hausfrau IRA or other retirement vehicle for me until this week; I've been not working for three years and we keep saying "we'll get around to it." And I didn't open my first retirement account until I was in my 40s so we're behind where we should be. In the meantime, we've got a comfortable amount of money sitting in a very low yield big-brick-and-mortar bank earning practically no interest and doing nothing whatsoever because DH thinks it's a bother to move it.

There have been moments lately I've wanted to kick DH. I know he's getting burned out about the amount of work he has administratively and he works his ass off. He makes a good living as an income partner at Big Law but gripes that the big bucks won't come until he's an equity. I kinda-sorta arranged for him to get in contact with the CEO of a major corporation (that he knows, which really irks me even more!) and he won't call him. He was supposed to fly to a resort to give a speech to an organization that has good contacts for an area he wants to expand, yet he has a deposition he has to cover that is in conflict; he'd rather forego a network opportunity (at a four star resort) that could bring in good business and cover the deposition or arrange for someone else to cover the depo so he can go for a couple of days. He networks during business hours but doesn't do a lot after hours or socializing. Yet he complains he'll never make equity.

TrickyBob- I completely agree with you.

katespade- I understand the hatred for hormones and such, I went off BCP almost 18 month before TTC because I hated them, BUT we used condoms to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. You need to protect from a pregnancy if you don't want a baby. Being happy at the moment without the hormones will not go over well of you have a baby that stresses you out because you can't afford one.

**i may be biased in this situation because I have been TTC for over 18 months and have had not 1 but 2 losses. **

The single most annoying thing a spouse can do is nag their husband or wife to bring in business. It happens at work all day. No one wants to hear it at home, and I have seen more marriages break up over it than anything else.


Also, I am confused about how a partner at a law firm is getting a tax refund. Even if you overpaid estimated taxes last year - which makes no sense - wouldn't it bump onto your estimated taxes due today?

I don't nag.  Doesn't mean it doesn't bother me though, especially the times it bothers him.  That's when I really want to growl.  Twenty years together, I know the drill.  But I can bitch about it in a flameful. 

PINO.  It has it's advantages, like at tax time.  Its disadvantages too, like at distribution time.  Things may change this year since there has been some upheaval and restructuring.  I suppose we need to talk to a tax advisor.  :sigh

And on that note, DD1 is due in about four weeks.  I'm afraid I'll be disappointed if she's not a ginger after seeing LHC's video the other day.  All the emphasis she's been putting on Irish names hasn't helped.  You got an Irish name you better be a redhead, kid.  DD1 was my coppertop and DD2 isn't having any more kids so this is it for a while, at least until the boys start having kids in another ten or twenty years.  Kiddo and Kidlet are never dating and never having kids.

This is very odd to me. I am familiar with the concept of non-equity partners but I have never heard of them being paid as regular employees at any firm. I'm sure if a firm is doing it it is legal but it seems really off to me. I am surprised the IRS allows it.

Wow, you are a hateful twatwaffle. People are probably inconsiderate and rude to you for a reason. Boston is not only strong but full of smart people who don't take BS from assholes like you.

How would you like to tell the 8 year old girl who lost her brother, and a leg, in the bombings, that Boston Strong is BS? Not to mention the other 250+ injured/maimed/killed?

My flameful is that I like certain high-low dress silhouettes.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Oh no, wouldn't want to put you to any trouble"

"Are you sure? The pot is already on."

"Noooo, no I couldn't bother you, I'm just fine."

"Aw, come on, I'll feel bad if you don't have a cup with me."

"Oooh, well, alright. Since you insist."



We both know you wanted the damn cup of coffee all along.

Maybe she meant to call us Massholes, in which case... that would be correct.

HOWEVER Masshole =/= asshole.



My flameful is I have a memorial event to go to for a close family member and I just can't get it up to go and I don't care that I most likely am going to be listed as a black sheep for it.

Everyone who has visited us here (including my inlaws who live in smaaaaalllllll town Midwest) has remarked on how nice people generally are in Boston.

This is really kind of rude.  U have no idea what these people have been through, obviously.  Are all the people from your magical land this ignorant?
