SA - congrats!
Theo that really sucks!
AmyLiz, that's scary, glad the bank realizes that you were victimized, hopefully they'll improve their security so that this doesn't happen again.
ND, so very sorry you didn't get the job.
Toddson, Mom had catract surgery and it was relatively uneventful for her (well, there was that issue about her having a crappy eye surgeon) but over all she was fine and the techniques have vastly improved since then. This was about 20 years ago when she was in her early 40s, she has old eyes.
Can we just divorce our crazy families and adopt each other?
Let's go with this plan. I'd much rather have a family member who quotes
Gaudy Night.
The tiny shoes always set off the worst cute spasms in me. Little tiny running shoes! Miniature Crocs!
"You took MOM to THERAPY?!? Are you dumb??? You KNOW how well she fakes 'normal'!!!"
so, how did it go with her there? (If that's not too nosy) My friend's mom does the same thing. She can be totally nice and normal and seemingly worried about her daughter's well-being to me while being a complete selfish witch to my friend in private.
I'm okay with this adopting each other as family as long as we can be kissin' cousins. IJS.
My best friend recently printed out a bunch of emails from her crazy mom to take into her therapist so he could know exactly what she was dealing with.
My mom came to a couple of psychiatrist appointments with me, the idea being that it would shed light on Teh Craxy From Which I Am Made.
My brother's reaction said it best: "You took MOM to THERAPY?!? Are you dumb??? You KNOW how well she fakes 'normal'!!!"
I like the Gieco Caveman commercial where he's at his therapists' and his mom calls. Then he says, "I'm going to put this on speaker."
Funny 'cause it's TRUE.
"You took MOM to THERAPY?!? Are you dumb??? You KNOW how well she fakes 'normal'!!!"
so, how did it go with her there?
She completely came across as Nice, Normal, Concerned Mom Who Is In No Way Interfering With Her Daughter's Life Or Fucking Her Up Mentally. It's like I described one mom to the shrink, but the one who came to the appointments with me was a total other human being.
Congratulations, SA!!!! I'd like to see a list of the pros and cons of each place. (I've never been to England at all and would like to travel vicariously, if that's not a problem)
Congrats, SA! Double congrats, even!
thanks everyone for the congrats! and I'm sorry the month is sucking otherwise!
lisah, not a problem at all, but I am putting all thoughts of deciding off for the rest of the evening and just reveling in the happy. I've given myself until the end of april to decide, and tonight I'm going salsa dancing, so I have lots of time for a thousand lists. and don't doubt they will be coming.
