I HATE MY DAMN COMPUTER!!!!! I just had a reply all typed out, and I hit "backspace" and it went back two pages and I lost it all! I completely understand some people needing to work during all winds and weathers (and holidays), like police, health professionals, plow drivers, etc, but security guards and retail managers? I worked retail for two years, and there were days when we didn't bring enough profit to even pay for our wages, let alone the electricity we wasted by coming in. If I was a business owner, I'd seriously think "Hmm, is it profitable to open my store today?" and if the answer was "No", then I'd let everyone stay home in peace and comfort. It's not worth risking people's health and safety over... And drivers need to understand, SNOW means SLOW! lol

Your wedding is in less than a month, your son JUST got out of the hospital, and her laundry is more important? I would have totally spazzed and instead of asking if she had soap, probably would have flipped my lid and told her I'm not a laundromat and suggested she go find one lol I agree with everyone else, FI needs to have a good chat and set some boundaries with them, because it's only going to get worse if you don't. Good luck and keep us posted And I hope your little guy is feeling better!

I'm SO mad right now!!! I have to get this off my chest before I explode, but there's nobody else I can really talk about it with, so I figured I would give you gals the pleasure of listening to my rant... FI is a security guard at a mall. Yes a mall cop. Anyway, he enjoys his job, but it's not what he wants to be doing for the rest of his life, he's just saving money to return to school. He takes his job seriously, but wouldn't cry himself to sleep if he lost it, kwim? I was going to post a super huge rant, but it's just way too long to explain fully, so here's the jist of it: FI refused to go in yesterday because we had a huge storm and the roads were covered in ice, there was zero visibility at times in the snow, and it's at least a half-hour drive to work. So his supervisor got another guard who lives five minutes away to cover his shift. No big deal, the mall didn't open until 5 PM anyway. FI lost his shift, but at least stayed safe and warm. So today when FI goes in for his shift, he's given a notice to pass out to all of the stores that states that the mall as a whole will NEVER be closed in the event of a storm, it will only close on major holidays (Christmas, Good Friday, Canada Day, etc.) and it is at the discretion of the individual stores to choose whether or not they will open on that day. So piss off #1: The mall will NEVER close during a storm. Meaning FI will never get a snow day, no matter how terrible it gets outside. Then, the other guard, who I already hate but can't put my finger on why, gives FI the cold shoulder the whole day. The other guard (let's call him "Josh") is in his 20's and is a "mommy's boy" type and has never had a girlfriend (but desperately needs one lol). He's a complete lap dog and if their supervisor says "Jump", he's the first one to ask "How high?" He doesn't understand how people can care about anybody else but themselves, and lives for himself and only himself. So he comes into the office looking mad and the conversation goes something like this: FI: What's wrong? J: I'm UBER pissed FI: Uber? J: Yeah, it's German for "a lot" FI: Okay... Well what's wrong? J: I'm feeling really sick and don't want to be here at all FI: Then why don't you see if someone can cover your shift and go home? Go get some rest if you're not feeling well. J: Well I can't afford to lose a shift, unlike some people. I only have $50 to my name right now. FI: And you think that I can? I couldn't afford to lose my shift yesterday, but it was better than possibly losing my life. I have $40 so I can get cabs home the next two nights after my shift, that's all. J: Well if I were you, I'd take every shift I can get. You're a lot worse off than I am. FI: Yeah, I do need the money, but I'm not the only one I have to worry about. At that point FI just walked out of the office. He was so mad at "Josh" that he just couldn't stay there any more. I'm just so mad that A: nobody cares that these guards are putting their lives at risk to go in during a storm just because one of the stores "might" decide to open, and 2: Josh is such a lapdog that he doesn't care about anything or anyone else, and if FI tries to defend himself to Josh, then Josh will go to their supervisor and turn it into a "Marc attacked me, wah, wah, wah".... Not to mention the fact that his head is so far up his supervisor's ass that he can help him floss... I hate brown nosers.... (And yes, I said A, then 2, on purpose. Why? Ask Uncle Jesse from Full House. And I'm sorry it's so long, I just had to let it all out before I explode... Have I mentioned how much I love BDW? lol)

The worst part of this story is definitely the kids, because they'll be the ones to suffer. And you're right Savannah, when you go through IVF, they implant several embryos to increase the chances of at least one of them surviving, and that makes sense, because usually ladies will have 6 or 8 embryos and only one or two survive. My main issue is that she already had 6 children that she was struggling to care for, so why have even one more child until she could provide for it? She may very well have been aiming for one child, and like you Savannah, I understand her not wanting to terminate any of them, because I wouldn't be able to do it either, I just don't understand why she tried at all, or if the doctor knew of her current situation, why he allowed her to have another child. I just agree with everyone else, the children are the real victims here... Let's hope she gets some help, and fast, before anything terrible happens. Side note: Holy crap Savannah! Four kids! You're my hero! lol I don't know if I'd still be sane if I had four children all at once. I have two cats, one is 9 and the other is 1, and there are days when it's a good darn thing they're cute lol You deserve a huge pat on the back for that my dear, and you're obviously one of the "successful" families like I mentioned in my last post

I only have two words... And a gesture... Oh MY!!

Besides, FI should keep quiet, you already lost enough that your dress doesn't fit anymore lol We're all happy that our FI's are honest with us, but there are some things better left unsaid.... Especially if you're Harty's FI, because you risk getting a smack lol

I'm very touchy over my weight too, and FI knows that I am. Actually, most girls are, because we think we're supposed to resemble magazine covers I think... Either way, I thought all guys were taught that the right answer to "Does this make my ass look big?" is ALWAYS "No, sweetie, it's perfect... Want some chocolate?" lol

lol Thanks Savannah And thanks everyone, I think I'm going to go with 5, it's simple enough to be used for everything, and can be large or small and still look great And it's a little elegant, which I like I may use 4b for a website or STD's when the time comes, but for now I'll stick with 5 And as weird as it may seem, "Dildo" doesn't even get a snicker from me or my family anymore. I've been travelling through Dildo to get to my grandparents cabin in Heart's Delight since I was 6, so I didn't know that a Dildo was anything else but a town lol But I understand, because I've seen some weird place names from other parts of the world and got a great chuckle, and I'm sure the people that live there don't even smirk when they hear it. Thankfully everyone getting an invite knows of Dildo and that my sisters already live there

I agree with Joanna, I'd love to be a size 8. I always thought that size 8 was the average dress size anyway... I'd just let him know that it really hurt and he made you feel self-conscious when you really don't need to be. Like Joanna said, those dresses look much better on a girl with curves. I haven't seen too many ladies that are a size 2, but those I have seen don't have any curves at all, they're like a popsicle stick. Now not all are, everyone is built differently, but it's the curves that make a woman's body distinct from a man's body (aside from different "parts" lol). Besides, when did he become a fashion designer? lol

You are a VERY brave woman, and my heart goes out to you. Many people in your shoes wouldn't have been able to stand up for themselves and their children like you did, and you should be very proud because you've made a better life for yourself and your children in the long run. You deserve a pat on the back, and a really, really big hug And remember, the BDW girls are always here to listen and give you feedback

There are people who have large groups of children and are very successful, like the Duggars. They've got 18 children, and they've managed to make it all work, but there's also TWO parents. Not a single mother. Single mothers deserve a lot of respect, because it's a tough job, and to be doing it on your own makes it even tougher. When you've got six kids that you can't take care of, why would you have eight more? That's more than twice the kids you have now that are being raised by their grandparents. That's very irresponsible... And with the way the world works, when I try to have children in a few years with my (by then) husband, I won't be able to, but this nutter can have 14... And her saying that she loves each and every one of her children, the lady with 75 cats loves all of her cats too, but there are only so many hours in a day that you can spend quality time raising and nurturing them, and if you sleep for 8 hours a day, then you're awake for 16, so that's one hour per kid, and two hours left over for eating, showering, cleaning, etc. Now with two parents, each child can get two hours of attention per day, but she's only one person! The wheel is spinning, but the hampster is dead... And Sloan, saying humans aren't meant to have litters, that cracked me up lol

My bet is that most of your guests are from Newfoundland & everyone will know that it's the towns name!! PS...Newfoundland has great town names!! Isle aux Mort, Cow Head, Halfway Point, Blomidon (aka Blow-me-down!). I miss home!! I actually grew up 15 minutes from Isle-aux-Morts lol I told one of my old college roommates about the road to Isle-aux-Morts once and she died laughing and said "Yeah, I know being back home is boring, but I doubt it's the island of the dead!" and she was a Newfoundlander too lol I'm leaving Dildo there, simply because everyone we're inviting knows that Dildo exists, and plus my two sisters live there, so they've heard of it before. I have a CFA's (Come from aways) that will snicker over it, but they won't be snickering when they show up and they're screeched in standing next to Captain Dildo lol I edited #4, it's actually on page 2 or 3, and it looks a lot better on the pink heart, thanks for the advice to change it And thanks everyone for letting me know your opinions, it's greatly appreciated Oh, and someone asked how I made them, I'm using Paint Shop Pro, and the hearts are actually a font called "luv n kisses" from DaFont.com

Aggh, post didn't work... Thanks for the advice everyone, they definitely look better after not looking at them for a while lol And thanks for numbering them Carly, it was getting confusing And they're finally at the size I tried to make them in photobucket, not sure if someone changed them or they changed on their own, either way I'm grateful lol And I'm going to post the changed #4 now in a second, I'll add it to the original post EDIT: I can't edit my first post, weird, so I'll add it here:

I'm sure when you come back in a few days, you'll realize your work has paid off...cause you've designed some really great stuff here! Not many people have lol We're thinking of having the ceremony in Heart's Delight, where my grandmother is from, and the reception in Dildo, or we may do both in Dildo. Lots of weird names... People actually steal the Dildo sign every year and get their pictures taken with "Captain Dildo" lol Although, we could have chosen Come by Chance or Conception Harbour lol And three neighbouring communities are named Heart's Delight, Heart's Desire, and Heart's Content lol

I like the second last one now too... I stepped away from it for a minute and now they're not THAT bad lol I think I may use that one for invites and things, and use the one above it for my sig and website and all that jazz. And just because I'm too excited: It's exactly three years from today!!! By tomorrow, it won't be three years away anymore, just two years and 364 days lol!

Okay, maybe it's just because I created them and I think they're all ugly lol I might need to come back to these in a few days and look again, because right now I hate all of them lol Side note: So, we're no longer having a DW (Long story) And yes, the town where we're getting married is actually named "Dildo"... Our colours will be pink and black and a hint of red. I'm going crazy waiting, so I'm making monograms and paper cranes in the meantime lol #1 #2 #3 #4a (black background) #4b( pink background) #5 #6 So do any of these look okay? What can I change? And these look MUCH smaller in photobucket. I resized them so they wouldn't be huge, and they're still big...

If it has seams in the sides and if there's a zipper or some type of seam in the back, you MAY be okay. Usually you can take it in wherever there's a seam, that's what my aunt used to tell me when I'd ask her about fixing my dresses. I'd ask a seamstress to be sure though. And I LOVE that dress

Okay, I seriously sat down tonight and looked through this ENTIRE thread. I was bored. lol And I realised, my ring isn't in here O_o How did that happen? lol So here's my current ring: But it faded *tear* So here's my REPLACEMENT (that I'll be receiving soon ): I can't wait, she's a beauty!!

Oh. My. GOD! That is HILARIOUS!!! I would have completely cracked up if I was there

My cats do that sometimes when they have a hairball they can't cough up. Sometimes they'll just cough up liquid, sometimes nothing at all. But not long afterwards (sometimes a day or so) there's a big hairball waiting for me, usually on my bed Whatever is causing them to cough, I hope it's nothing serious and that they get better soon

If you want it to relate to the fact that it's a 30th birthday present, how about something like "Vintage 1979: I'm getting better with age" Or something like "I'm not 30, I'm $29.99 plus tax!" Maybe you could find some funny birthday cards or something and use those That's what we did for my Dad's 50th. (Plus decorated his lawn with 50 bottles of Old Sam and Captain Morgan drawn on cardboard lol)

I can understand why some women choose to go that route, but to give birth to a live baby, and then have someone take it and just leave it to die? How do you do that to another human being? As I said, absolutely disgusting.

I'd call her and act like you don't know about the charity event. Just be like "I'm returning your phone call, you said it was important." And if she doesn't mention it just say something like "So are you looking forward to the wedding?" or something that might make her say "Yeah, I can't make it" or say something like "Hey, when is (insert charity name here) having their event? Isn't it sometime this summer? Maybe we can go!" and then she'll HAVE to spill the beans
