Glad you guys are going to counseling, Gud, even if it won't be the most pleasant thing you've ever done. Good luck.
What Raq said. I hope it helps build peace between you and your wife, even if the process isn't pleasant.
Can I vent for a minute? I am really, deeply, ragingly (is that a word) angered by the seeming inability of my bank, my insurance company, and the car dealership to get their shit together and either a)agree that yes, all paperwork showing the loan on the totalled car will be paid off is in order or b)tell me what the fuck exactly they need to make it so. I keep getting calls from the dealership's loan officers saying it's not all cool, and when I ask what they need, they say to talk to the insurance company, and the insurance company says they've faxed everything over, twice, and are baffled to what the dealership wants and why they're bugging me about it, and the bank says they need something from the dealership but it has nothing to do with us as consumers. And to be quite possibly racist, it is not helping things that the loan officers speak English as a second language, because I feel like either they're missing something or I'm missing something when we talk. (And then I get to feelk like a horrible horrible person for thinking that.) It is also not helping that they always call me during lunch. I hate that.
I talked to the customer service head at the dealership. Hopefully he will be able to do something so we can settle this with one phone call. But it may have put me off the dealership for good.
I hope things work out for the best, Gud.
In shallower news, I realized at midnight last night that the wedding I'm going to in August is next weekend and not in two weeks like I thought, and I have NOTHING to wear. This means I need to shop this weekend. This means I have to have MONEY this weekend.
I actually have an offer for a freelance editing gig that would allow me to make some money, but it would probably leave me no time for shopping. Damn you, first world!!!
t shakes wee fists
Just in case I dissapear amongst a pile of coordinating leggings and onesies.
"I'm drowning in footwear leggings."
Gah. That sounds terribly frustrating, Lyra.
I can't believe how many posts I just read. I didn't take enough notes to respond to anything coherently, but I want to extend sympathy to Anne and Susan, congratulations to billytea on his girlfriendage, send heaklth~ma to meara and Hil and wish Gud good luck with the counselling. My apologies for anyone I missed - I thought warm thoughts at a great many people as I caught up.
Sail and lisah both have awesome new hair!!! Maybe I'll stop by the salon today...
Gud, best of luck with the counseling. {{P-C}}, hang in there. Not because it gets easier... because it doesn't. Just, what else can you do, right?
I've heard many a boy called Lloyd Dobler and had issues with it. However, the comparison of bt to Lloyd (or vice versa) is spot on and I couldn't agree more. Doomed.
I need to steam clean my living room carpet and it needs to be dry by Saturday evening. If I start tomorrow night, is that cutting it too close?
But it may have put me off the dealership for good.
Who can blame you, Lyra? Yeesh! Sorry you're having to deal with schmucks.
next weekend and not in two weeks like I thought
This has been happening to me the last couple of months. How is it already August 18th??
bah and I was so obsessed with My New Hair I forgot to compliment Sail on hers. And her daughter's talent! Curls! So Jealous.
Lots of work~ma for you, Maria!
