Yes, I used to sell and buy on eBay, that was good money. No time for that now... Garage sales, and craigslist are my faves...
No shipping and cheap prices for great things.
Ikea, when I here that word I think of Night at the Roxbury, the movie... LOL
The nearest one is in Wahington... been only once and really enjoyed it. Off to find some boxes... Hugs, Start

Popping in to say hello. Busy weekend for me... babysitting the boys yesterday... nothing better than 4 rowdy boys at the pool... LOL. Today we took Connor out to see what he wanted for his birthday. That was fun.

I am sooo not looking forward to going back to work. My voss informed us Friday afternoon that she put in her two weeks a week before, so she will be leaving... I know I am pushing for this new job and all, but I don't know if I will get it yet, and the idea of getting a new boss is not appetizing to me. :(

Laura, there's a bear in your apple.

Synnen · Aug 13, 2007, 04:59 AM

I wish I could call in to work today.

curlybenswife · Aug 13, 2007, 05:01 AM

LOL I'm all right just ate lunch :D carrot and sweet potato soup that I made yesterday it was yummy.

Cap are you sure there's a bear in my apple??

J_9 · Aug 13, 2007, 05:05 AM

I guess a bear in your apple is better than a worm.

Synn, how was the weekend?

Muwahhh Cappy dear.

Rae and I were looking at the haircut pic last night when John saw it. I died!! He said "That's cute, you should get that cut!!" :eek:

Synnen · Aug 13, 2007, 05:10 AM

It was all right. Kind of sad, but I think that that will be the tone of all my family gatherings nowadays. My sister and I have given up on trying to get along--and even my dad, who is normally oblivious, noticed it.

Ah well, I guess I just don't do much with them anymore.

Oh my word had he been drinking or sat in the sun??

J_9 · Aug 13, 2007, 06:53 AM

Synn, I am so sorry you have to go through this. Maybe in time, a long time, things will change. My family was the same until recently.

CBW, I LOVE Elmo!!

Nope not drinking or sun... maybe just realized that short hair can be cute, or he sniffed too many chemicals at work. :cool:

startover22 · Aug 13, 2007, 06:54 AM

Morning ladies...
Al, change is always weird, you never know, the new boss may be wonderful...
J, how did hubby like that game last night... maybe you should just get the SeaHawk emblem shave in the side of your head... J/K. I think the picture of the haircut was very cute.
CBW, talking about food makes me hungry..
Synn, Sorry about you and your sister. Really is too bad.
Have a bright and beautiful day...

Synnen · Aug 13, 2007, 06:55 AM

I love that haircut, and can't wait to see it on YOU!

And thanks... I don't think I'd make it through this family crap without my "sisters" here!

J_9 · Aug 13, 2007, 06:59 AM

Thanks Synn, getting it done on Wednesday, I'll be sure to take a pic.

Yeah, I know about having the "sisters." I really needed my AMHD sisters when Dad was ill and... well really long story. But it is amazing how we can help each other through a keyboard and a monitor.

startover22 · Aug 13, 2007, 07:00 AM

Yeah, sure does help to be able to talk about it.

Synnen · Aug 13, 2007, 07:13 AM

What really helps is that the "family" here doesn't judge, doesn't expect anything of you, and doesn't have this crazy idea that you're horrible if you're not like them!

I came to the realization that the biggest reason I don't really "fit in" is that I'm so different from my family, different lifestyle, different ideas, everything!

shatteredsoul · Aug 13, 2007, 07:16 AM

Hey there Syn, hope its OK that I jump in here. I am sorry about the situation with your sister, I can relate, because I haven't got along with my sister since I was like 6. We just always seem to have some sort of conflict every time we get together, or for that matter, whenever we talk. It makes it difficult.and I am sorry that you struggle with that. We don't see eye to eye on anything! It hurts to not get along with family, even when we really want to and it just doesn't work. Just wanted to say that. Thank God for friends, because without them life would be unbearable!!

Synnen · Aug 13, 2007, 07:26 AM

Of course I don't mind you jumping in--why would I be unhappy with someone offering comfort?

Yeah--it's the same with my sister and I. We have never really been friends, and never really seen eye-to-eye about anything. I hate the way she raises her kids, and try to bite my tongue on it, but it sucks to watch her scream at them. She and I also have very different ideas on everything--and the fact that she has 5 kids and I have none keeps that gap of understanding between us HUGE.

I'm sorry that you have to go through it too... although from listening to people here, it seems to be more common than I thought it was!
