I hope you are eventually able to work this out with your parents, P-C. I'm so sorry for the stress it causes.
Sean, I am THRILLED to see that you are having so much fun on your AC tour of Italy. Yay!
In more happy news (and DAMN, don't you think we're due??), I just found out two very exciting things.
1. We've been paying off IRS back taxes this past year, and it's been a bit of an uphill battle. It looks like our amazing accountant took some additional info we gave him before we left on this trip and reduced what we actually owe by a HUGE amount. Not positive yet, but wow, it's looking good. If this ends up being true, we can finally get them paid off and start working on our normal debt, which has been a huge monkey on my back this past year.
2. We've been approved by the local German Shepherd Rescue to adopt a new puppy!!!! I'm going to be visiting two foster families next weekend to meet the candidates. If you want to see the potential pups, follow this link and scroll down (past the initial cute puppy pictures) to click on the pictures and meet Letty, Misty, Posey, and Nika! EEEEEE!
They are adoreable, Pix! I would have a hard time choosing between Letty and Posey.
Awww, GS puppies! I love Posey's ears going every which way.
Their ears will all go up eventually, I should mention. One of the cutest things about raising GS pups is when one ear goes up before the other. Aren't they DARLING? Personality-wise, Posey is at the top of my list right now.
Oh, and DJ, I would definitely talk to your work and explain the situation. You should not miss out on this trip. (And never worry about fretting about being away from your husband. We don't compete about being sad here--separation is difficult.)

I think I may just attempt radio silence for a while again. Good news is my aunt is back on my side. (Bad news is my brother is now embroiled in his own family drama. Grah.)
(And never worry about fretting about being away from your husband. We don't compete about being sad here--separation is difficult.)
Oh, I know. I'm just amazed at how the two of you do it. You guys have an enviable relationship, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Posey von Pilsner wins my heart.
Pix, I think Posey is the best choice! So cute!!
Shir, not sure what to say. Not fulling understanding the problem. Do you fancy the bloke? Does he fancy you? From what you said, sounds like he's got a gf. If he's not looking for a new gf, than just let the friendship be what it will be. Don't over analyze it. (I know, easier said then done).
Oh, I meant to talk about Shir's thing earlier!
What I'm getting is that the guy has gone from pleasant regular person I talk to to doing good friend like stuff.
I'm not sure to what degree it's the same, but I can give you the example of my friend Lawyer Bob. I know Lawyer Bob through hubby's HS best friend. For a very long time Lawyer Bob was simply amusing, kind of a loud mouth jerk, but usually good naturedly so (if that makes any sense).I didn't consider us that close.
That is, until one day he totally stepped up and was really amazing for me in a situation where he not only didn't have to, but would have been totally right not to. It was...odd, I guess, because I hadn't really thought we were that close, but suddenly Lawyer Bob became one of my most trusted, loyal friends.
So yeah, kind of strange at first, but now I'm used to it and try to be the same for him.
