Happy Birthday, Randy!

Its only partial bullshit. The best lies are based in truth and her history is well documented. Protesting the war is one thing. Calling soldiers hypocrites, liars and baby killers is something else entirely. Not to mention allowing yourself to be used as a propaganda tool against your own country. But I guess that was a different time.
-
Actually, there's a lot of truth to it. This specific email? I can't say. But most people consider her anti war "efforts" in the 60s and early 70s to be pretty much unforgiveable. The apology she made decades later doesn't even begin to cover it.

I'm kind of confused by the situaion to begin with-your first sentence says "I made an offer....." which clearly you must have because they have your check. Then you say there were forged initials on an offer you never made. So which is it? Did they forge an offer AND one of your checks, or did you back out of an offer which you made in good faith? If its the latter, read though the contract you signed and verify you were within your rights to cancel it when you did, and that they are not entitled to keep the earnest money. Or just hand it over to you attorney and have him deal with it. Forgery and harrassment are both illegal, so you should have recourse. If a crime was committed, report it. If I am being brutally honest, the website you created in retaliation just makes you look bad.

I used to hate my job. I kind of like the job I currently have- of course, I've only been here 2 months so I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase.

We had this debate here a couple of years ago I think. I, too, would not bother changing my name for a number of reasons, the main one being the inconvenience factor. Passport, license, credit cards, work, title to my house, car, etc.- if I was in my 20s and less "established, I might feel differently, and it might be different if I had children. But I also feel the tradition is not only dated, but sexist in nature. (not a popular opinion- I know.....) Funny- my oldest sister is on her 2nd marriage. With her first marriage, she did the hyphen thing, and the kids have their dad's last name. With marriage number two, she just went back to her maiden name. I met her PV last March and didn't know what name to give the front desk at the hotel!

At a normal volume, I couldn't hear it, but when I turned it way up, I could. Its irritating.

I agree with you. Also, in spite of what a lot of the guys here are saying, I know for a fact that the guys at my dz absolutely love it when the women "hoochie up" for the annual Christmas party or some other special event. You know- hair, makeup, clothes- the works! A sexy dress is wasted if you haven't taken a little time to fix your face and hair as well! I know my guy appreciates when I make the effort and he's also not afraid to tell me if he thinks I've overdone it.

Guess you need more CDs..... My Spanish is OK for travel, but its not good enough for working with Spanish speaking customers or any real conversation. I was taking classes, but the location is no longer convenient for me. My goal was to achieve a level of fluency (reading, writing and proper grammar in addition to conversation) at some point, so I'll need to figure something out.

ding ding ding ding ding........ Properly applied makeeup will look natural and not "whorish". But there is a time and a place for a little bling!

How is bootie in Spanish? Or do you want to know how to say "Bootie"? "Como se dice 'bootie' en Espanol?" (I can't be bothered with the accents and special characters either......) Slang would be Cola (tail) if I am not mistaken.

OK, first off, there is absolutely nothing wrong with becoming a nurse as long as that's what you want to do. But, if med school is really where your heart is, and nursing school is more like something you thought you would have to "settle" for, I think you owe it to yourself to go for it and sign up for the premed classes. And I think you already know that too! Good luck! My SO was in the hospital all last week, so obviously, I spent an awful lot of time there too. I can tell you that good nurses are an underappreciated treasure, and a caring sensitive doctor with decent communication skills is even more rare! You'll help a lot of people no matter which path you choose! -
I agree with you 100%.

You really should notify the shelter. Its very irresponsible of them to adopt out a pet in that condition. The leg is something you knew about- parasites and anemia are things any shelter needs to test for and treat before offering an animal up for adoption. Makes you wonder what condition the rest of their animals are in. Your vet sounds like a keeper, though!

Kind of ironic, since my guess is if you take him off his special diet, his vet bills will only increase. I've got a 16 year old cat with "challenged" kidneys- he's been on a special diet for several years now, which is probably why he's still with me and going strong at 16. I just suck it up and pay his vet bills, charge them if need be. I guess in that sense, I'm fortunate to have a credit card.

Stop by her office and make a point of using her phone. The gift that keeps on giving and all.....
-
I may be wrong, but with this puppy's rough start in life, she's probably not even eligible for pet insurance, much like your cats.
-
BTW- If she's down the hall, how exactly did she get you sick? Did she lick your phone, sneeze into your coffee or breath all over you? Are you sure she brought the bug in? It does suck to be sick, so I hope you're feeling better soon even if I am sort of giving you a hard time!
-
"Dumbass" and "I hope he isn't hurt too badly" are two thoughts that crossed my mind pretty much at the same time when I heard about it this morning. One doesn't really exclude the other.
-
Oh yeah, there's that too!

You're being sick and nasty. Not that you don't have a point, BUT there's often a fine line between work ethic and the risk of infecting the entire office. The fact is, the corporate world rewards us for toughing it out and penalizes us for calling in sick. Not to mention, in almost every job I've had, if I did call in sick, I did so knowing that my co-workers would be dumped on and/or my work wouldn't get done and my customers would suffer as a result. In either case, I'd have a huge mess to deal with when I returned to work. That's a pretty good incentive to drag my ass in even if I'm coughing and sneezing, and generally feeling miserable. I guess that makes me one of those "I have to be really really sick" to stay home people- sorry! Besides, the way flu viruses work, aren't you infected and contagious before you start to feel sick, and still contagious after you feel much better? What company would let you take 7-10 days off to get over a cold?
-
How about just I'm sorry for your loss? Its tough losing a pet, even one you only had for a day or so. I'm sure she was blessed to have you in her life, even if it was for such a short time.
-
"No worries" could really mean just that. Face it, by staying behind to jump when you knew you would be late or miss whatever B-Day celebration was going on, you let her know exactly where she is on your priority list. Maybe she's OK with that because you aren't any higher on her list. And if you're really sorry, say so and try to make it up to her. just be sincere. Not all women hold grudges like that.
