Well what the fuck is her problem? She afraid of having her son marry someone awesome and beautiful and totally kick ass? Then, I get it.
Otherwise, ass her in the ear.
Today, Aimee will be speaking for me. Keep up the good work, Empress! Ima take a nap.
Anything in particular you want me to say, Nora?
No, just trust your instincts! There's a reason you have been chosen for the gig!
~ma to those that need it. Good luck!!
We're meeting TCG's mom tonight and telling her about the engagement. I don't think she'll be happy. So nervous.
Grump. She should be bowled over by the awesomeness that is you, not cranky/prejudiced/whatthehellever. How dare she not see the awesomeness of you??
Format > Auto Format > Options, and clear everything on the Auto Format and Auto Format as you type tabs.
Huh. You know, I used to do this. Wonder why I stopped?
sj--just be your lovely self and maybe she wil learn to love you as we do. I knew things were going to be, um, difficult with my ex when he told his parents we were engaged and their first response was "Oh. Is that a Jewish name?" I spent a lot of time and tears over the years of my marriage trying to get them to like me and they never did.
With Jason, I decided they could take me or leave me. I would be polite, as I am to any othe person, but I was not going to work to please them. Turns out they love me--go figure.
Robin is wise.
If TCG's mother can't like or at least accept you, there's no one she'll accept. Her loss. I'd love to have you as a DiL.
re: Word
People, all I ask is that you learn to use styles and then use them consistently! And the automatic numbering is bullshit. I avoid it when at all possible. I just create a style that has the formatting I like (hanging indent, the right leading etc.) and then number things manually. Saves so much aggravation and, ultimately, time.
sj, I hope TCG's mom turns around and is surprisingly accepting of the news.
I just create a style that has the formatting I like
My biggest nightmares when doing Word support was when people would inherit big documents that had interlocking styles, and we had to untangle which fields were referencing what. It was like stepping on a land mine to insert a numbered table, because formats would blow up all over the place.
I enjoyed mail merge, though. Simple logic.
