Oh, bah, Polter. For what it's worth, this married devil white woman thinks you're cute.

Thanks for the advice about the hair. I want to go short but then I hear "your face is too round" or "it won't look good at your size" or something like that. But I think it will look good.

Also I have issues because Mom was never thrilled with my short hair and even though I'm not trying to please my Mom I still hear her voice. Or in the case of last night actually talk to her. I showed her the pictures and she brought up her big concern "you'll look butch." Which I pointed out is her issue, not mine. I don't find it insulting nor do I think it's a bad look.

So now that I've worked that out I'm going to print out some pictures and talk to some stylists and see if I'll find someone who will cut my hair the way I want.

P-C I'm sorry you had such a rough time.

There are lots of reasons that this woman didn't think you were a good match that have nothing to do with you. She may have agreed to do this to appease her parents and had no intention of pursuing a second meeting with anyone. She may have been doing this to appease her parents and be in a relationship her parents don't know about and that's why she didn't want a second meeting.

Maybe she's in a relationship her parents don't approve of and they pressured her into this meeting.

I am not on the razor's edge financially, but I WISH I could travel to Europe!

Me too! I don't know how she does it. Oh, wait, yes, I do - on credit cards. With ridiculously high credit limits for an unemployed person because her mom's name is on them too. Well, that's over. I'm glad I'm not sitting in on the discussion they're probably having right now.

P.C., that sucks. I'm sorry.

This, indeed. It ain't you.

askye, I think those short styles will be cute as hell on you! Go for it!

Ditto. Sorry Zen that your crazy family are making you crazy.

I am pissed off. I had an appointment with the ENT scheduled for the first week of October. I realized that it was at the same time as my office hours, so I used the online messaging system to send a message to the office asking to reschedule. In the message, I said that I was in a lot of pain, and that if there was any way the doctor could see me any earlier than October, that would be great. They messaged back to say that the next available appointment was November 15. I wrote back saying that, if November 15 was the earliest they could reschedule me, then I'd just stick with my original appointment, and I'd find someone who could cover my office hours. They wrote back that they had already cancelled my original appointment time, and it wasn't available anymore.

I'm so angry I feel like I'm going to be sick.

My sister just texted me that things were "heavy" and she might end up cosigning a $20000 loan to pay off the girl's debts. We talked about this last night and agreed it was a very bad idea, for many reasons. Jesus, last night the girl was screeching that she never asked for any help. Now she's doubling down on getting $20000? Family or not, I think I'm about to be done. Guilting your already-generous mom into risking her credit by cosigning an enormous loan, because you don't want to get a job and pay off your own debts? Appalling.

To make it worse, we couldn't find the key to the van (probably left in sister's other car) so my sister took my car today, leaving me stuck at home and my little car in the hands of people screaming ragefully as they drive. Somehow the losing of the van key is probably my fault.

I just tried calling the ENT office directly. The receptionist said that they have no appointments, but that I should call my primary care doctor and get her to call the ENT and say that it's urgent, and then they might be able to get me in earlier.

That girl is not going to pay that back. I hope your sister doesn't get involved, but she should be clear that she is borrowing $20k.
