the final piece of the saga of my father selling the house has come down. no one could remember the initial purchase price 37 years ago. my mom would have known but alas, she's not around.
$125,000 fully furnished. they sold it for $175,000. after all concessions and realtor fees they walked away with $138,000.
A friend posted a T&P request to her wall for her friend who has breast cancer and is stopping treatment.
A mutual freind posted this in response:
I don't know one thing about her staging or situation, but look at breast cancer protocols for therapeutic grade essential oils. The baby Jesus was given Frankincense and Myrrh for a reason.
*headdesk**
And here I thought it was because those two were just cheap dudes.

I am utterly screwed without my graphics designer. Supervisor was conveniently gone last week and had me check in with him this morning. He still doesn't understand that things are taking four, five times longer and, the quality is much, much, much, much less than it was before. That is putting it mildly.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
Did you light her up?
It seemed inappropriate in a thread that was otherwise full of sincere good thoughts.
I've been considering a pm but can't figure out how you convey how Assy that is to somebody who believes it. The eo lover's mom is a cancer survivor who I believe used eo's (in addition to real medicine)so it's touchy.

This is my third random post in here, but I need to put it somewhere. My family, more specifically my mother is driving me to drink. They have screwed up the family business to a point where a team of lawyers are now needed to arbitrate and sort out all the issues (example, who exactly at this point is a board member, because elections where held at a "board meeting" that wasn't legal). And of course I get to be dragged into this, because I am technically a stockholder in the company. On top of which, my mother is so obsessed with what happened in the past that she is incapable of moving forward in an unbiased and reasonable matter. I don't care if 10 years ago so and so got more money out of the deal than you did, and you think it was unfair. I can't change that, and fixating on it is only going to make the decisions we have to make going forward. I don't want to hear for the 100th time how you don't trust this person or that person, because you feel that they did some shady stuff. Right now it doesn't matter. Get over it and act like an adult.
I have been nearly rear-ended twice and actually rear-ended (no damage) once this month. Now I'm paranoid about every tailgater in this city who ends up behind me. BACK OFF PEOPLE!
We switched email servers last week. I have 9 years worth of email, rarely if ever deleted or archived, lots and lots of junk and newsletters and unnecessary notifications. Nothing makes you come to jesus about your email hoarding tendencies like a server switch.
I know I should just ignore it and move on, but that girl from yesterday asking me for money...this has really stuck in my craw. I went on an epic rant to H last night about millennials and entitlement and thinking that your dreams are SO IMPORTANT that random people will want to give you money to take an expensive trip and so you don't have to get a job and save up money to pay for it yourself.
I love the article you posted on FB. It's kind of the perfect response to this.

I own up to my passive aggressiveness.
I would have posted it anyway but the timing of seeing it could not have been more perfect.
If you already have the star, and just have to cover it, I'd suggest nail polish. I have a costume I wear to Ren Faires, and have painted some small trim with Opi's "I'm not really a waitress" and it's worked out really well.
