Gud, I'm with all the other Jewish mothers in believing you'll be better off having pbj and an apple or carrot sticks or something in you, come mid-day. You wouldn't expect the kids to skip lunch, don't expect it of yourself, either.

I've been days behind and catching up. But I made it. Hallo.

does anyone here watch the show on Discovery called "To Catch a Thief"? 'Cause I think I kind of love it.

Is that the one with two former thieves, who with the agreement of the homeowners, break in and trash the house, thus illustrating how laughable the "security" of their home is?

Yeah, I love them too.

That's the one! I believe their trash talking masks their loooove. I know on this board, that may be shocking to hear, though.

I just get such a cackle out of the one who sits with the family during the "robbery." He's going, "Oh, gee. Looks like he's just trashing all your precious belongings. How do you feeeeeeel?"

And the guy who does the "robbery," afterward? Acting all scared to meet the people? And going, hey, you agreed to this, remember? Can't touch me!

Empress, I find something very meta in baby issues trumping being able to go to the funeral. It's all family.

Aimee, feel better (in all possible ways).

Gud, you should neither deny yourself food nor beat yourself up because of the financial situation. I haven't been able to read regularly lately, so this might have been addressed, but you do know that you're allowed to be angry at your wife for letting the bills go unpaid (even if she's having depression issues)? That anger, frustration, etc., would all be absolutely valid emotional responses? That manifesting these emotional responses in the denial of food for yourself isn't healthy?

I watched one Episode of "to catch a thief" because Tivo taped it. Very bizzare- I wasn't sure how serious I was supposed to take it. I mean all sequrity systems have holes. and definatley most home systems. The only idea behind what I have is to slow them down and I am working on suff that makes noise.

The Circle...The Circle of Life...

Ya wouldn't know I went to The Lion King this month would you?

And Aimee, let me second (probably closer to tenth) everyone else. Your great-grandmother was more blessed to have your presence in her Life. Hope you're feeling much (physically & emotionally) better very soon.

I forgot - I am posting because I finished redoing my resume. So I can apply for a job I don't want. But that was the easy part. Because after really thinking about it, The biggest reason I don't want this job is because I don't trust the upper management to deal honestly with me. That really means i should be looking. So a redone resumee means I can.

Onto the suplemental questionaire.
