Good Evening All - just checking in. Unsure what news to report - was she waffling this week? Yes. Did we get back on track? Maybe. Am I a wreck? Yes ! Anything a nap can fix? Mostly ! Still talk of divorce or separation? Yes !

Anyway - being exhausted and whatnots - she still managed to cook some nice nosh this weekend, for which I was thankful.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

aha! shouldn't that be $Many? hmmmm?

You are a good proofreadress, see ma'am. Fingergraphical errors are inexcusable, oj tak.

Usually my name is pronounced by my foreign friends like the continent, but...

Here's how my name was understood in Starbucks, and that's more like I'm called in Polish :P

2agufr5.jpg

Literal translation: "the cattle are dying, si man," oj tak. (Got it, first try, whee man!)

And how and why would we have this foto, oj huh? I thought that your name in Polish would be more like Czyzkwojchiowiczyzyk, oj tak.

Looks like the weekend is being peaceful... No imported drama, no removed posts...

I'm so proud of you, people! :D

There was and probably still is a lot of up-catching to do with unused +1 inventory, oj tak.

1. i am sorry nola :( i can't imagine how hard that must be.

2. and what is with men and procrastination...

1. See and sigh, ma'am. Keep a positive upper lip and a stiff attitude, si ma'am.

2. We were into anticrastination but got converted, see ma'am.

Anything a nap can fix? Mostly !

You greatly underestimate the power of naps, D man...

You should never sleep on a disagreement. :no:

Better to resolve things before your heads hit the pillow. You sleep better that way. :thumbs:

I'd like nothing better than that. But its not the way my wife thinks. When she gets upset there's nothing to do but wait her out, and usually that means she's going to sleep on it.

Morning all...weekend was good..worked on roof, still cleaning garage, did some driving....some more practicing for the driving theory (I cannot help it..unless I know the book 100% I won't take the test...yup...crazy).

Emailed the hubs....I am sorta angry with him cause he has been acting like an azz......just not responding to me and pretending I am not there...like, can he at least say "ok I will show up at the signing and ok I will split the costs with you"....seriously....he is the one hurt here ? I am out all of my savings, 25k in debt, moved countries 2x, taken care of everything since I got here and cooked for whole family most of this time and yet.....he is the poor thing who is hurt ? But keeps eating the food I make but won't acknowledge the fact that I even exist...so I am his servant ?

Went out for groceries and FIL asked if i asked him what he wanted me to buy ...and i am like "uh...he is not going because he is playing world of warcraft, he is not talking to me at all and I should be asking him if he wants me to bring him food from the store ? No I did not ask him and don't intend to anymore..if he wants something he better go out and get it"

rant over.

sorry I know I should have expected it but still.

Another reason to stop being nice. He will play the victim so his family will feel sorry for him. It does not matter that it's his fault he will never take the blame, once you are gone never look back.

Had a great weekend trip with my wife and some friends, even though the hotel tried to screw it up.

First screw up was the reservations. Hotels you should not have a stoner working at your front desk. Apparently he screwed up many people's reservations, as you could hardly walk by the front desk area without hearing some other distressed person wonder why their reservations were screwed up or missing. We booked for two nights directly with the front desk. I've found that is better when you travel with dogs just to make sure there is no surprises. The front desk stoner clerk ended up only entering us for one night, neglected to note we would arrive with dogs, and neglected to note our friends and us wanted rooms near each other. The hotel was fully booked for the second night, but the non-stoner clerk on duty fixed that. Come to Sunday check out, and stoner clerk is back on duty, night one we're charged the rate our reservation was for, night two they charge us $30 more. Stoner clerk says its corporate and there's nothing he can do about it. I don't even want to deal with this clueless f*cktard, so I take the bill without signing it, although I know its gone on my card. BTW they made no note about the fees jumping $30 for a second night, and that was not the quoted rate on check in. Complaint is in to La Quinta corporate, but they bounce it to the local hotel. We'll see what happens. But I will escalate this until I get my $30 back. And I hope that clueless f*cktard of a stoner clerk gets fired. Seriously they should not put idiots at the front desk.

I know....and it drives me up the wall...this was my last attempt...I told him I take responsibility for being so stupid and not questioning him more about things and not making sure he was truly ready but for the rest...it is on him and his mom. I may have also said that he gets this behavior from her...that she got a dog thinking it will just be hers by default and expected the dog to take care of itself and he got me and treated me the same way.....let me just be and expected me to cater to his needs whenever he felt he needed to be babied.....and that plush animal might be a better choice for both of them rather than a dog that is alive and a human being (aka me)...ok I was being angry here and lashed out a little but god i had to ...could not help it.

bleh....i am sorry about the screw ups...we stayed at la quinta too in TN lol

It was not terrible and we had a good front desk guy, did not find the breakfast that great but otherwise was good. Hopefully you can resolve this.
