We are talking through fall vacation planning and are starting to worry that Argentina may be too expensive. Why can't I have a job that involves enough travel to have airline miles and/or hotel points?! A yuppie sob story if there ever was one.

The Giants were supposed to accidentally win the Super Bowl this season, as they have done every four years in recent memory. And it was going to be perfect this time because this year, the Super Bowl is the day before DH's 40th birthday. But alas, the Giants have fucked up. You let us down, Giants.
And the Rangers are doing poorly lately. I cqnt believe I actually can say this time, "Well, at least the Mets had a great October despite coming up just short." Life is weird.
I guess my grievance is actually directed at myself. I was doing so well with healthy eating/weight loss at the beginning of the year and have since fallen off the wagon. I'm at my heaviest weight ever and look awful.
I'm right there with you, and don't even know where to start. I need to drop 20 lbs, minimum. 30-35 would be ideal. And here I sit with a bag of peanut M&M's.

My husband doesn't like books, movies, or TV shows that don't have a "plot" and instead just tell the story of the people and their lives (think A Tree Grows in Brooklyn or any book by Michael Cunningham).
I legitimately don't understand why this is an issue for him. Not everything has to have some dramatic event we're building toward.
People who previously owned this house, I hate you. What made you think it was a good idea to paint, then put a (cheesy ugly) border up then paint over it then put wallpaper over it then put more borders on top of that? I HATE YOU and I hope every home improvement project you attempt in the future ends up flooding your basement or cutting off your electricity for days on end.
I am so annoyed at my body! I am finally getting over my neck injury, and I have motherfucking plantar fasciitis. You just want to make exercise difficult so you can stay fat, don't you, fucker?!
I want to stay home in my PJs all day for Christmas instead of going to my in-laws!
Dude - I have been dealing with plantar I'm-too-fat-itis too.
EVERY step hurt in November. So I bought these inserts and they have made a WORLD of difference. When I'm not laid up with my kidney problem I can be on my feet for hours now with no pain.
I am getting some more so i can leave them in my most-frequently worn shoes.
ETA - if you get some, pay attention to the arch supports. I wore the wrong inserts in the wrong shoes for a week. They still helped the heel pain but feel a lot better with the arch support in the right place, ha!
I had awful plantar fasciitis for a really long time. Like couldn't walk in the mornings, wanted to cry all the time it hurt so bad plantar fasciitis. I did a detox diet for 30 days and it was gone. I'm the first to shit talk diets, especially gluten free diets, but if I stay away from gluten, I have no feet problems. If I eat it, my feet kill me. I wear all the ugly good for your feet shoes and don't have to if I eat healthy.
I wish someone would have shared this with me years ago. It made all the difference in my life. I also lost 20lbs since I could walk again.

Were you really counting on the Giants to win? They could have won that God awful division. I've been a Redskins dance since 1969 so I'm used to disappointment. I'm not as disappointed as the Cowboys fans though. Woot!
Not really. The pattern of every four years was so nice though!

I am sorta an expert. What is your all in budget for this trip?
I thought LadyDisdain said it? Did someone else? She acted like it was a reference to something else.
I'm so confused.
It was created a few months back. I don't want to wrongly credit anyone, but I think it was voodoo? She responded to it in the other thread and that sounds about it.

I have peed on myself the last three days. Once, sneezing, once, puking, once laughing. So, I guess , bladder come the FUCK ON. I'm too young for Depends, and I don't think they'd fit in my current condition anyway.

It's fluid. We started out wanting to stay at $4,000 but that clearly isn't enough for Argentina. I think it may be possible to stay st $5000-5500 if we primarily stay in BA and do day trips because it's the intra-country travel that starts to get pricey. Flights are clearly the biggest issue - H found flights from ORD for $1325/person. I found one for $1186 that involves an extra stop and 4 more hours of travel time each way (not sure if H will go for that). By the time we pay for parking at ORD, I'm just rounding up and assuming we will spend $3,000 on getting there.
We still have lots of research to do. If this doesn't work out, we will do something in Western Europe probably. Or maybe we will look into Colombia or Central America.

I'm salty that for the second year in a row my H is going to be out of town for work on my birthday in January. I know, plenty of people have it worse and we're going to celebrate that weekend with a trip into the mountains but I'm sad I'm going to be alone, again that day.
