You're such a good sport and seem like a lot of fun. I still find it charming how ridiculous and fired up everyone got about that. I hope this didn't make you feel called out.
And lol at the Costco wine in the trunks. That's awesome

Aw thanks we all post dumb stuff sometimes, and I am not bothered by people mentioning it, as long as they get the facts right! What bugs me is when people are like "oh remember the chick that had the affair and did coke off the male hooker's ass while her kids watched?" And then someone's like "oh yeah wasn't that TheJen626" lol. No!!! No it was not!
::runs over to other board to read about shady H / direct report drama and no jello shot party::
Holy fucking shit.
I am praying for this to be innocent. Sounds exactly like a situation that is causing a good woman in my life to divorce her cheating ass husband, though. Uggggggh. Please be nothing.
Yeah, I think we all want the ML situation to be some stupid misunderstanding but it's getting harder and harder to envision a scenario where that could be plausible.
I'm probably responsible for at least 100 of those view counts.

I read the first page of ML thread today but have not gone back to read more. The little bit I read did not s sound good to me.
I always checked the Malaysia Airlines thread when I saw something new was posted ( the first one, not the current one). I was also following the teen bullying/mommy blogger saga and the "Doctor" Megan drama.
Back in the old days I always read posts from .Erin. I assumes she was a troll but still entertaining.
I want to know what happened with the Gypsy situation from a few weeks ago, but I am too lazy to go looking. Did she ever come back to explain herself? Who (if anyone) was her accomplice?
I'm not so interested in gypsy, but I do miss Kore. If there was a follow-up, I missed it.
thejen626 I think of you when I drink a really yummy riesling....nom nom nom.
It was so odd how intensely you got flamed for that! I brought a yummy wine over to a party recently and said I wanted to pull a jenn and H was like: huh? Sometimes I forget he is not on MM forums :/

Lol!!!
I just hosted a party and there were 4 current and former nesties all cracking jokes about "oh is this THAT wine?" And I was like "obviously not, that wine is hidden away in the garage!"
My H is really friendly with his 23 y/o CW (wait, he is actually her boss) and she is carpooling with us to a reunion and he IMs her all day long, sometimes inappropriately. Would this bother you?
I'm so sucked in I stopped watching my RHONY episode. Â The one where Aviva throws her prosthetic leg. Â This is not good. The situation, I mean...the reality tv break, I can handle.
Eta - up to page 9 and someone just got put on blast for having an emotional affair (allegedly). Â Gosh, this is a shitty situation, but this thread is everything.
yeah, she has a habit of posting things making it look like an affair and then moving on to some other topic.
I just wanna know if gypsy is coming back. And if kore will be back.I feel like poor kore is guilty by association. It must suck to be a part of a group/message board for so long and then just up and leave.
I've been around! Just kind of sporadically checking/posting. I'm not going to get into the drama, except to say it was years ago, a different context, and super overblown. Out of line? Of course. But not as dramatic as it was made out to be. @gypsy is & will always be one of my best friends.
Kore, thanks for the update. I've seen you posting here and there, but overall you've been pretty quiet and I was wondering how you've been. We all want good things for you. <3
Thank you If I could wave a wand and magically make it be a few months from now, I would. But I know part of the whole growth/learning experience is living through the bad parts. It just feels so suffocating.
Things are going okay. Sis is close to getting the condo ready to put on the market. Living with us, mom is cash flow positive just on Social Security. She watches babyniq on Monday mornings and does dropoff, which was a big boost for her and helps us out too. She's found some piano bars where she can go sing, but I feel like she could use one or two more hobbies where she gets to interact with people instead of hunt for furniture on ebay and craigslist.
Her disability case is on hold until we get a local attorney, and we still haven't queued her up for senior housing.

It sounds like things are going well. I am so glad for you guys. Do you have a time frame for senior housing and is that dependent on the disability somewhat?
Right now, it's rbp's mom problems. It's funny reading posts from people whose parents are the opposite of how I imagine RBP's mom to be. Her mom and my mom would, I am sure, get along famously. I can so picture me asking/telling my mom we got her a stay in a hotel, even nicely. If I did, I better hope there aren't breakables or hot liquids nearby b/c they'd be directed at my head. I have read half the replies with one of these faces ^o) :^) :?

I was wondering if my mom drama would make this thread. LOL
A couple weeks after she got here (when things were still good), H told me privately "I keep trying to find something you two have in common, but I can't." LOL
Listen, I am at a similar stage in pregnancy as you were when you hurt your ankle, so I can almost picture myself substituted for you, and dealing with my mom (who luckily could go home as she lives an hour away). You have all the sympathies from me, my friend.

Ha! That sounds like a very nice compliment. H says similar things to me in regards to my parents.

Right? I would never be able to suggest that to my mom. That would be the end of any sort of relationship with her. I am sure even if I told my mom nicely that I need space, that would backfire in the worst way. I feel like there is no way rbp can win.

The bolded is why I am over invested . Also b/c if I find myself in a similar situation, I may resort to a technique that RBP uses, if it works for her mom.

I will be sure to share if I happen to hit upon such a miracle.

Not really. If she were disabled she could jump the line a little bit, but by the time her disability claim is resolved, she'll probably be off the waitlist anyway.
The city says waitlists for the housing authority-managed senior apartments (about $400-500/month) are anywhere between 6-24 months. There are other senior apartments that are $700-800/mo but have shorter waitlists. I think we are going to try and get her into one of the housing authority buildings, both because it's cheaper and more convenient, especially once she's no longer able to drive.
Thankfully Seattle is run by humane politicians, there isn't even an asset test for the senior housing, and the income threshold is something like 30% or 40% of median city income, so she'll obviously qualify.
Same. I'm almost sick over it. I feel so bad for her.
I read that entire thread after it was mentioned here. My heart breaks for her because I've been in her shoes. I hope so much that they had a productive talk and that things can be resolved in a good way.
