We don't have an emergency kit, nor do we have a specific plan. The vague plan I have is: get the cats in their carriers and grab fool and water bowls and their food, grab the important documents & jewelry, which are all kept in the same place, and pull a blanket or two off the bed, along with a couple pillows, then GTFO. And listen for instructions on evacuation locations.
Our main worries here are earthquakes and brush fires. The earthquake especially is why I know we should have emergency kits in our cars and the apartment.
It's the plan that's the problem. If he'd just said that he'd want to kill the guy, then fine. If it were one of those garden-variety threats we all make, no big deal.
Because this was technically homicidal ideation with a plan, the person he told had to make attempts to warn the father and to notify police in the area where they both live.
Not that I disagree with his impulse. At least he knows that would be a bad thing to carry out. I explained that it's better, when speaking in anger, to not be so specific.
Now go! You can do this. Things won't be easy at first, but I'll bet they feel a little easier without his dead weight around. Remember there are so many more opportunities out there for you that you won't be able to explore if you don't leave him behind.
Yesterday at work, one of my clients told our case manager that, if he found out it was true that his sister was molested by their father, he would leave the facility, obtain a gun, find his father, and shoot him.
Kinda creepy.
In other news, yesterday at work was kind of hell. I was supposed to meet coworker-friends for wine Wednesday, but I was at work over 2 hours late and they were gone before I left work. :N:
I took graduation photos for most of the kids I work with who are graduating. I almost cried yesterday while doing that, because I realized they're all about to move on. I have 3 clients graduating in less than a month. I'm proud and sad.
One of my cats, Scotty, has developed a new habit. He likes to climb onto people's laps and try to curl up while they're on the toilet.
I don't have any breakup stories that compare to these. Probably one of my favorites was a guy I dated in high school, who I often forget I ever dated. We met at Disneyland, where we all hung out most weekends in HA. He always wanted to know if I found anyone else attractive or if there were any other guys I liked. He also had ambitions of becoming a professional bowler. Well, this prize of a guy went on vacation and when he returned, he was acting very strangely.
On my birthday, I found out from a friend that he'd confessed to her that he cheated on me. I was not surprised, as that's what I suspected. The moron thought my friend wouldn't tell me, I guess. When I saw him, in typical teenage dramawhore fashion, I stormed up to him and confronted him in front of the entire group of friends. Since it was my birthday, I had a tiara and wand my friends had given me. I got so mad, yelling at him in front of everyone, that I threw down the wand and broke it.
He begged me over and over to give him another chance, but that was the end of it. I don't think I ever talked to him again and I'm fairly certain that he was ostracized by the whole big friend group that hung out at Disneyland.
I joined TK somewhere between March and June 2007, after I got engaged. I never changed names, I lurked and posted a little on TIP even before marriage. I enjoyed giving advice, then stayed because I liked the company, even though I've never been a very regular poster.
I use Stila liquid & powder foundation, convertible cheek color, smudge sticks, the new eye creation that's like a didn't smudge stick, lip glazes, eye shadows...
Basically I love Stila. Wasn't thrilled with the stuff on Hautelook, though.
Is the app really that much easier than posting on the website from your phone? I'm considering downloading it after all. I just have an aversion to paying for things I can get for free (like parking).
I'd go with a light-colored but not too bright collared blouse. You could also go with a subtle pattern like a striped blouse. I've worn a red-and-white striped blouse answer a blue blouse with an abstract white dot pattern, both with good results.
Hoagies are sandwiches but not all sandwiches or even most sandwiches are hoagies. So if you go to philly and order a hoagie, don't expect a panini.
Not to mention a cheesesteak hoagie is different from a cheesesteak. I grew up thinking hoagies and subs were interchangeable, but maybe that's the northern NJ + Philly-area mix that is my parents.
On top of the microwave (counter space is limited). If it's fancy bread or some other kind that we won't use quickly, it gets sliced and stored in the freezer.
Yes, other things are improving. More slowly than I'd like, but it's still progress. He's working consistently with his therapist and I've seen some good changes. We're definitely connecting much more, not just sexually.
I hate the little pink woman symbol. Anyone else irritated by it?
Also, this is awesome. I can post without needing the app, which costs $2.99. I'm cheap.
You can hide it. Click on profile, then modify profile and scroll down to where you can change your gender. The drop down right under that is a yes/no for hide gender.
Thanks. I did it as soon as I posted, since I'd noticed that was an option before.
DH and I are having sex much more regularly now and I finally can say I've had multiple orgasms. It's been awesome. I'm also getting a lot more comfortable with trying different positions where in the past I would've been self- conscious and worried about whether or not I was doing it right.
