An update for those interestedFollow

Off topic - My first response to this thread was to reply "/creepshow on 'what are you wearing'".

I immediately had a flash back to my days of working telephone survey. I was monitoring a survey for quality purposes and it was an older woman who worked there talking to some young guy on the other end of the phone. He was trying to f[b][/b]uck with her and said 'what are you wearing?', completely dead pan and without the slightest hesitation she said "clothes" the guy completely paused and didnt know how to react. He ended up doing the survey with her. The lady was nails.

I so thought this would be some juicy gossip about your piece of sh[b][/b]it husband and his endeavors to act like a civilized adult and keep his peepee out of other people's cha-cha's.

Good to hear about the clothes thing too though.

Not quite as juicy as hoped, but good news nonetheless. Congrats on getting past a major hurdle. It can't be easy.

Nexa

I'm glad things are looking better for you and hubby Nexa. My parents have been married for almost 30 years and are probably going to get divorced. It's been really ugly, with TROs and everything and it really bothers me since I'll be giving birth in less than 4 weeks. :(

TRO




n00b.

Nothing says Happy 30th anniversary like a restraining order.

Sorry to hear that Pikko. You'd figure that people in their 50's (?) would be able to handle things a little smoother than that.

The hubby is making loud grunts and grumpy faces whenever I cheerfully suggest we go out and get another tree before ALL the short ones are gone, so I'd been hoping that we could just keep this one a little longer since it wasn't really brown yet. (he's been very "I told you it was too early") But last night somehow my daughter seemed to sense something was wrong and took all her candy canes off the tree. This left it a little bald and so hubby commented, "I guess it does look pretty brown..." so w00t maybe we can go get one in a few days.

They haven't been getting me involved, which is great. But they still act like two year olds. I'm just dreading having to coordinate separate visits and all that crap.

Naw I mean for anything. They live on another island and so flying over to visit gets expensive. (about 180-200 per trip)

You are so a gay cowboy that eats pudding. Why don't you go make a movie about yourself?

So whatcha wearing?

!

We broke down and got a fake plastic tree (que Radiohead) because the cats would eat the real one and vomit it up every morning. However, we decide to test the cats first to see if they will eat the fake plastic pine needles. We get a fake plastic wreath and leave it out to be nosed, sniffed, and potentially consumed for a couple days. Nothin. Not a nibble.

We trundle off to various shops and eventually settle on a nice four meter tall tree. We drag the beast in, we set it up. We plug it in - it is glorious and tall and we can fill it with all or ornaments and sit about it and bask in it's fake plastic glory.

Next morning, a pile of kitty vomit, replete with fake plastic pine needles.

It's the damn tree shape! They only eat from below. However, whichever cat did it learned pretty quick and only vomited a couple times. This year (year two of fake tree 1.0) somehow he forgot and it took him a couple more vomits to figure it out.

However, our giant doggie (great dane) has decided the tree is a great place to rub her face. (All the danes I've known love to rub their faces against a hand or the couch or a chair back - and they love having their faces touched in general. Especially their eyes.) Good thing it is large, otherwise it would be sideways.

Bah. No tree in my house. Just put out the christmas coke-bears and stockings and such instead. That's festive enough. Trees are just a pain in the butt to deal with IMO.

That and the childhood memories of having a christmas tree fall over on me might have something to do with it...
