Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Mostly lurking...

Ok. Thanks for the advice all. I've done stuff like this with her before. I just worry a little more, because she's in a new relationship and her girls are here and blah blah blah. She really has been doing well, so I need to not jump to conclusions. I just hate to see all this work she's done go down the tube.

So, I'll bring it up in a non-confrontational way, and I'm sure everything will be fine. I know one of the things she appreciates about our relationship is the honesty and whatnot, so I don't think she'll be mad...unless it really is a problem.

Trust my rage

if the med doesn't work, as they sometimes don't, ask the ped about gentian violet.

Thanks, Betsy. We go back on Tuesday so I'll ask her then.

P-C, if it was me, I'd respond as Sail suggested. I personally just would hate the doubt of not knowing what the guy was thinking about me and my intentions.

ION, I have a job interview on Monday.

ION, I have a job interview on Monday.

Good luck!

I'm really not sure how to read his tone. As I said, he's perfectly within his rights to decline, and I understand that, but some of it seems overly sarcastic and slightly malicious.

be careful of reading tone in email. However, I think that the landlord is perfectly within his rights to be confused. I don't know why you just didnt' tell you uncle that you had asked and he said no. yes, that would be a lie, but you wouldn't be about to cry right now.

I'm bad at outright lying. It's a fault of mine.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ouch. Your uncle really steered you wrong on this one. I think explaining to the landlord, in person if possible, that your uncle pressured you into it and you didn't really think it through would be a very good idea.
