What I'm Reading This Week #17
Time for Friday which means planning weekend shenanigans should be afoot! Well, the carpet thing as far as the obscene amount we have left went nowhere. They gave an excuse which measurement wise makes no sense, swore we weren't charged for it and now we have a friggin' roll left to figure out what the hell to do with it. Do you know how many times over the past 8 years we have said the phrase "we'll figure it out?" 7,422. I'M. TIRED. OF. HAVING. TO. FIGURE. IT. OUT!!!!!! You listening up there, Sir or Madam? Can we please be done?? The only thing we got was a service call which they were late for to fix the gap which yay but shouldn't have been there in the first place. Rat bastards. The worst of it is when you look up the reviews for the place after the fact (because they don't tell you who it is before or you'd never buy through them). This place gets one star out of like 20 reviews over the years. Th...
You never cease to amaze me with the # of links you are able to find. I will be busy today reading through everything. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteI am a wealth of useless knowledge! :-) Happy Aloha Friday!
DeleteI'll have to check these out over the weekend. Little guy has basketball Saturday and the usual weekend chores. Got to find something fun to do too.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the little guy and definitely find something fun to do! It's the weekend baby! Woot!
DeleteThat things not to say to dog lovers/owners applies well to anyone who has pets (and treats them as the family members they are, not just livestock). Except the "no dogs allowed" thing. To me that borders on the obsessive. If you can't go to someone's house sans dog you might need to figure out why you have to drag your dog everywhere with you, not why your friend doesn't want someone's dog in their house.
ReplyDeleteThe "no dog" thing also sounded a LOT like a whiney breeder complaining that they can't take their kid everywhere, which made me snicker. See! Pets and kids aren't that different!
For the record, I'm a hard core cat person and I don't allow dogs in my (and my cats') house. I don't care how "well behaved" they are, I don't want them in there disturbing my feline peace. I also don't like kids in my house (for the same reason!).
My BIL and SIL are "those" people that drag their dogs everywhere and think everyone should be okay with it. While we did treat our dog like our child, we didn't drag her everywhere and think everyone else should have to treat her like a human baby. We can't have cats in the house because the Mr is allergic but yeah, I don't really want people bringing their pets to my house without asking first and then we can politely decline. ;-)
DeleteI REALLY like the dog article. I wish I could find more hotels and restaurants that allowed pets!
ReplyDeleteI just read yesterday's blog. I loved it. (I had doctor appts. and shopping to do yesterday, I rarely miss a day of reading your blog.) I replied to what you wrote, because it touched me so much--it's like reading my own story. And after I got down commenting, I realized I felt motivated again. Who knows if it will last? But for now, this moment....I can beat down the cravings and temptations. Wanted to let you know, how much you inspire and motivate me, even when you struggle. Hang in there girl, I'm with you!!!
