Gotta love the OSMW. I'm glad I don't have to go to bed at night knowing my husband will be walking around on a 8 inch wide piece of steel 20 stories up while he builds a sky scraper. My husband has a dangerous job, but there are far more dangerous jobs out there that people do every single damn day and you don't see those women whining all over Facebook about it.
I wouldn't be so nice to just block her. She would have received a full bitch out from me.

I'm originally from SE LA. I lived in Shreveport for a couple years when I was little, though. It's been a while since I've been up there. There are a few casinos up there. You could look and see if there are any shows while you are there.

Coincidentally, I met a little girl named Stella Quinn at the football game yesterday. I thought of you. It's an adorable name, but would be too much with your LN. I think the only middle name I can come up with is Elise. I thought about Quinn Elizabeth, but it sounds too much like Queen Elizabeth. I don't really mind masculine names for girls. My name is a form of Charles.

Hey, Lady! It's good to see you over here. Keep seeing your posts of little bit over on FB and I can't believe how big she's getting. She's absolutely adorable.

We took it with a grain of salt and thought it was hilarious. Peekaboo Street was kind of annoying, but I kind of figured she would be. We'll probably watch it again. I like that they are raising money for charities.
So here is the skinny... I have a friend who cleans houses. She got referral from me for a move out cleaning.
I get a text from friend that says "Thanks for the referral he was some great eye candy"
After I figured out who she was talking about it was an uncomfortable conversation. She went on and on about how hot he is and what she would do... etc.
I just KEPT bringing up HER husband and HER kids and HIS WIFE and HIS KIDS. She didn't pick up on what I was puttin down.
So I put it out there.... "I'm really uncomfortable with this conversation"
She called me a prude and stopped texting.
Ew, I would have totally told her she was being oogey.
I think it depends also. J, I would have no problem with you saying MH is a good looking guy. Your husband is a good looking guy, but you know this. Now if you were all, "Oh, the things I would do to your man!" We'd have an issue. A few weeks ago, MH and I went to a new country bar in town. We were there for several hours with friends. It was obvious, apart from our wedding rings, that we are a couple. When I was talking to my friends, 10 feet away from him, a chick walked up to him and said, "I've been watching you all night" and handed him a piece of paper with a number, her name and "Call me when she's not around" written on it. He looked at the paper and told her to run away as fast as she could. Then he handed it to me. He wouldn't tell me who she was, but I would have kicked her in the teeth if I'd have seen it.
Ewww. What a tramp. Besides that, how was that bar? I wanted to go when we were in town, but we didn't have a free night.

I'm assuming she's not a minor since she has insurance through work. I guess a minor could get insurance through their job but I've never had experience with that.

No, you are still eligible. However, if you use that insurance and Tricare, that insurance must be your primary with Tricare as your secondary. Sometimes, Illumine talks out of her ass.

I'm sorry, girlie. I know it sucks. It's ok to have a pity party for a bit. I do every time. Cheap wine, chocolate and poptarts are my go to for a couple days. Last time, the 5 year old came in after 7 pm to ask if I forgot to feed them all. That was a bit oh shit moment. Pull your self up by your pj strings in a few days and get back to living life. It's the only way to make the time go by faster. You know where to find us when you need a shoulder to cry on or a boot to the butt. <<hugs>>
You know, I'm actually not generally going to try to talk someone into voting. If you don't know enough to even pick the best of the worst, you might actually pick the worst of the worst. I already think too many voters are dumb.
I agree with you. I actually had some one tell me the only reason they voted for Mr Obama in the last election was because they thought McCain was too old and might die while in office.
I'm just going to vote my conscious. If that ends up being a vote for the independent and I'm only one of 1% of the people to vote for him, I least I know I had my say.

This is the first year I think I'll be voting independent. I am not a fan of President Obama and Romney's choice of Paul Ryan just put the nail in that coffin for me. I feel like, if enough of us who don't like either vote for the independent, it might not get that person a win, but it will shake things up enough that people will take notice that so many people aren't happy with the BS going on right now.
Went to the recruiters today.. Really disappointed. I got all 90's on my practice ASVAB that I took at home I have a H.S Diploma, some college credits and I am in okay shape. I am working on the last.
AND
I was told with my two tattoo's there is like .02% chance of getting in if they needed people, which they don't. . I have a tattoo on each wrist that's about 1/4 inch to low to fall into regs. The worst part is I know people with tattoo's in the same exact spot and even some with tattoo's on their hands that are in the Air Force. One of my best friends has a flower on her hand about the size of a quarter and she is A.D A.F as of 4 months ago. He told me "Try going Army, they will probably give you a waver, they take just about anyone"...
A SM posted that she left on XX date. All I put was "OPSEC" as a comment. Eight people liked my response. She asked if that really was a violation. I posted a link to some rules and her response was classic. "It's only me so I'm not posting troop movements!"
I let someone else explain it to her. I got defriended shortly after.
Hmmm. I spoke with the chaplain, and she said it does not endorse a particular religion. What I didn't know is if that meant it was pro-religion but neutral on Christianity or if it was religiously neutral. Like, would they suggest "pray together" as a strategy for your marriage or more neutrally suggest ways to openly communicate? Do they use religious based gender roles? Or are they accepting/encouraging of couples defining their own roles irrespective of gender?
I thought that activities open to all had to be religious endorsement neutral. Like, a prayer at an event can't mention jesus. So how would a program intended to help all couples be allowed to be Christian specific?
tx, in what ways was it "very" Christian? I'm just curious why you'd use such a strong descriptor.
I actually do want to go as it's in an awesome location, and I think even a minimal bit of help is a good thing. I don't think we'll be able to make it, though, as I rechecked the dates, and I don't think H can make it.
Our Chaplain tries to keep it as neutral as possible. However, all of our speakers are also either former Chaplains, currently serving Chaplains or pastors. They aren't always so neutral. Last trip, we had a pastoral couple doing a workshop on parenting. If you know who the Duggers are, these people could have been their best friends. We are Christians, but they were so uber-Christian they turned the majority of the room off. To tell a group of military wives that they have no right to determine their parenting styles because it is up to their husband's and God is not exactly smart. I don't think they'll be back. We did pray before meals. There was an optional worship service Sunday morning. Like I said, though, I think it really it depends on the Chaplain in charge. We've been to one every year for the last 5 years. Some Chaplains have made it more religious based than others. Others base things off the book The 5 Love Languages. I would base my decision to go off the Chaplain.
I enjoy historical fiction the most. I really liked that history met fantasy (time travel) in Outlander.
I really want to find some books with fantastic plots that I can get lost in for the next few weeks.
If you like history meets fantasy, check out A Discovery of Witches. It is the first book in the All Souls series. I just finished the second book and had a hard time putting them both down. The third book comes out next year. They are written by a history professor. They contain a ton of historical characters, alchemy, science and fantasy. I wanted to jump into the book and stay there. Loved them.
