I really honestly am not a gift person, and I'm glad we don't blow money on things we don't need just to buy them, but I do wish my H was a little more thoughtful for things like my birthday and our anniversary. It occurred to me today that we never talked about exchanging cards, so I'm going to bet he didn't get me one. We are going out for dinner to celebrate, which is far more important to me anyway, but my parents' anniversary was a couple of days ago and I surprised myself feeling a little envious when my mom was talking about exchanging romantic cards and sent me a pic of the flowers my dad got her. I kind of wish we at least did that sort of stuff but it feels forced to ask my H to buy me a card, lol. It's just not his thing.
The flip side is that my XH used to send me overpriced flowers and overpriced gifts that I wasn't wild about and that drove me nuts too, because it just seemed like showing off and a huge waste of money, so it is clear that there is no pleasing me anyway.
A dad of one of my students was on the bachelorette years ago. He’s hot. He’s a fire fighter. He owns a gym. During conferences it was hard not to stare. His wife is not as pretty as I would have thought. She’s nice though. Lol!
Huh. It’s almost as if what’s inside is more important than what’s outside when choosing a person to marry!
Seriously though long wow to this internal monologue of yours.
Right? God forbid a man chooses a spouse based on her intelligence, inner strength, bravery, kindness...you know...things that will last a hell of a lot longer than good looks. And, just as a reminder, even the hotter-than-hot firefighters wake up with morning breath and annoy their spouses.
Let's continue to bring women down by not being "good enough" or not fitting some sort of pre-disposed notion of beauty.
I’m getting ready to quit my job to SAH, and *even though I really want to do it* I’m having major panic and worry and SO MUCH guilt. I hate my job. Why am I having a single thought about this?!
I don’t understand why people continue to engage with joenali. She’s a racist, and and an asshole. And that fucking “lol” jfc.
I am totally judging a car I saw in traffic today. It was an expensive Mercedes, custom painted grimace purple. Why? Why would you do that? Why would you spend a lot of money on an expensive car and have such a terrible color?! I do not approve.
LOL
Black, White, and shades of silver/grey are the only acceptable colors for a Mercedes!
The actual post was "I don't find doodles attractive." So. LOL.
That makes it sound like she is sexually attracted to dogs. Just not THAT kind of dog.
yes!!!! I actually was lurking on HIH as this was going on and I thought the exact same thing. It was such an odd choice of words to use.
Also, I haven't lurked on HIH very long but apparently there is some major backstory with this poster as she has come back several times under different names and said racist things in the past. She also keeps coming back and will not go away so people are just really annoyed with her at this point. I get it. And she definitely stirs the pot for sure.

Hi I did the same. I cried in my car for a long time on my last day. But it has been nice. Exhausting. Under appreciated. I have no idea what day it is. But even with all of that, I wouldn’t trade it. It sounds like it’s the right choice for you, but I know that doesn’t make it any less terrifying!
I do think there is something wrong with a person who thinks a dog is ugly. All dogs are beautiful.
Some people feel really strongly that Pugs are ugly. Lol
There are def breeds and mixes I prefer the looks of. I’m not a dachshund fan and I don’t like big slobbery dogs.
But there are so ugly they are cute! So maybe beautiful is pushing it, but I can't imagine looking at your pug and being like "that dog looks terrible".

dock, fuck that job! I'm envious of anyone who can bop out of the workforce. Good for you.
The post-like was for the highlight that it's time to stop engaging the person who was previously run off for being like, "Eh, I'm too white to care." The poster-child of caucasity.
I’m sick of being the supportive wife listening to DH bitch about work every.single.day since August. His job is incredibly stressful and the complaining is totally justified and I know he just needs to vent and get it out of his system but I’m sick of hearing about it. Fingers crossed he can find a new job for next school year. For now, he’s trapped until June.
Teacher wife here - He is starting to interview for new schools for next year and it is like a huge weight has been lifted just with the possibility.
H’s dad and girlfriend is here staying about an hour and a half away. We are supposed to go down and stay tonight at his condo and spend tomorrow at the beach. I am really wanting to send H down and spend the night here alone and drive down tomorrow morning. I am just really needing a break. My house is a mess. The kids are getting to me and I just screamed at ds2 bc he got out all of his valentines stuff, left it all over the floor while I’m packing up. I told him to either finish it or pick it up and he keeps leaving it to go play. We have a two year old who is going to ruin it if he leaves it like that. This is a constant pattern with him and I’m honestly struggling to be nice to him. He leaves clothes wherever he drops them, will take socks off in two different places, continuously leaves his backpack like some magic fairy is going to clean up after him/ I’m just so done. H won’t go for that though. Despite choosing to have very little interaction with my family despite the fact that they live nearby and help us all the time, when his family is here I am expected to be along for everything/

I've got a "damn, that's shitty" confession -
My H's lovely aunt passed away late last week after a very quick and very terrible fight with melanoma. Her funeral is tomorrow. She was a wonderful person who truly spent her time hoping the very best for everyone and working for it. She was an amazing caregiver. She has a grandbaby on the way who she'll not meet. It is truly a great loss to our family.
I am going to lie and say I have a cold so I don't have to hug anyone at the funeral and probably say that my 2 kids are coming down with something, too. We are, right now, totally healthy and I want to keep it that way. It is flu season and people are disgusting. I'm sad she's gone, too, but we can hug when flu season has tapered off, 892 weepy family members.
I'm avoiding researching for a school paper so I was lurking over on HIH and there's this one poster that purposefully pushes their buttons and they always ALWAYS fall for it and engage with her. I guess the confession is that I get so pissed at them for just not ignoring her when I should just stop reading it, lol. It's why I don't watch most reality tv so I don't know why I read that board.

what is HIH?
However It Happened. A ProBoards board that was a spinoff from The Bump. Very similar to here. A few of our ousted posters have gone over there to post as well.

I’m gong to Celine dion tonight, is that a confession? I’m not super excited but I know I’ll have fun! Going with some friends and there will be dinner and drinks first..and during.
I'm jealous! I think she has an incredible voice and puts on an amazing show. Also, I love how much she loves and appreciates her fans. Have fun!

Patsy Baloney , That's not shitty. That's good public health. I hate people touching in flu season.
My kids and I have been SO LUCKY. My H came home from a work trip sicker than a dog, and while he was never tested, lo and behold, members of his office were and they all had influenza A. The kids and I somehow managed to not get it. I want to keep this lucky streak going and then go buy a lottery ticket!

I actually remember your posts before you left and that day, and it’s been helpful to know it’s not just me. lol AND I’m glad to hear you (so far) don’t regret it!!
Ok now that I am reading this HIH thread, can I agree with the post they all hate that I am also NOT a fan of doodle ANYTHING.. and I think its weird that the dog is called STD?
