GRRR to people who just 'pop in' unannounced. Maybe its the tiny bit of proper New Englander in me but I freaking HATE THAT and it makes my dude even angrier, and he's home working all day. Who DOES that? Its just two specific people who seem to do it. He's told them over and over again not to do that and they do it anyway. I don't know what to do, its extremely stressful and I just don't know how to control or correct it. We're under epic amounts of stress right now and this is just the straw too far I guess... ugh.
Dont answer the door. Let them ring and ring the doorbell. When they call to say they are at the door, tell them you are having sex. Please come back some other time, but call first. Gotta go, bye. Click.

PS - Dont give them the new house addy.
Very sound advice from a very smart lady!! I think guilt has made us answer the door...we gotta get over that! I've actually seriously considered not putting a doorbell on the new house for our unit
GRRRRRRRR, I think with all the packing/preparing I've been doing I have aggravated my back. Just what I don't need.
I basically wrap myelf in bubblewrap the week before roo. Im very accident prone so I take the percautions. Just take it easy and stretch it out slowly. Lucky you have a few days in a real bed to straighten the kinks out.
Gosh, I know Roo is just a couple days away but I'm really feeling sad about the people NOT going this year. Fawn I hope you heal quickly, I'm going to miss you and quacker! Thanks again for taking care of me at MikeDs the night before Roo last year Scrog, I will certainly miss you too and your good energy.
I have a feeling that those of us staying behind are more sad than you guys I'm sure we'll all be here on inforoo, sulking and pouting, all weekend.
I haven't been in six years and I still get sad on Roo week.

Scenes from Dave's life #2404:
"What's that, Nature? It was rainy as d*cks earlier, but the sun has been shining for several hours, so it will be cool for me to set up the tent and waterproof the rainfly." "Sure, Dave. I know you have a lot of stuff to do and waterproofing your rain fly is important with the rain chances on Wednesday and Thursday." "Thanks, Nature. You're the best."
(Dave gets the tent laid out, set up and staked down)
"Hey, Nature." "What's going on, buddy?" "I was just noticing it was starting to look overcast. Should I be worried?" "No, buddy. I wouldn't let you set up your tent just to make it rain before you could get the waterproofing done." "Ok, I was just worried for a second." "Just worry about getting it done. I'll wait until after you have finished." "Cool. Thanks again, Nature."
(Dave struggles to get the rainfly on but finally gets it on all the way. As he is staking down the last part of it, he feels rain.)
"I think I am feeling some rain, Nature. I am kind of at a point of no return here. I can't possibly get it down before the rain sets in. You promised, Nature." "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Gotcha, b*tch! Have fun doing this sh*t tomorrow too." "F*ck yourself, Nature."

LMAO! Thanks Dave! Oh i mean sorry Dave.
NEVER taunt mother nature. She's a cruel mistress.
With 2 days before I leave, my mechanic informs me I have about $1.5k worth of work to do to on a car.
I may be having to shell out for a rental.
Ah, that stinks, man - sorry to hear that. You have some crazy bad luck. Except for that time you found an extra Hot Pocket when you were looking for lunch. I guess it all balances out, right?

I have strange luck. It's like this cosmic balance that can't tip too far in one direction. When something awesome happens, something is bound to f*ck up.
We figured it out though. No rental, I'll have to borrow a car.

I have a Popeyes Chicken right down the road from me that I've been going to since I moved like 2.5 years ago. Every time I always get the same thing, a 3 piece chicken strip. And EVERY time they have always given me at least 4 pieces.
Today I went and got it and they only gave me 3 pieces.
Not so much a GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR as a slight annoyance, but it always bugs me when you pay a waiter/waitress/bartender and they keep the change without asking. My bill was $11 something at dinner tonight and I paid $12 cash, but didn't get the change back. I also had an incident at a bar recently where the beer was $4.50, I paid $5 cash, but received no change. I don't care so much about the money, as it's just a few cents. I guess what bugs me is someone keeping something they owe me without asking. I'm going to tip. Quack, I regularly over tip (25%.) But I want my change back. I MIGHT NEED THOSE QUARTERS. I MIGHT WANT TO PLAY PINBALL. YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BRAH.

I simply can't afford the expected cost of my friend's bachelor party in Montreal next weekend. The best man has literally lost his mind with respect to "reasonable" expenses. I don't know what to do, because my friend getting married would never forgive me for missing out on his bachelor party. Ugh.
I'd address it with the best man privately. Just let him know that you're not going to be able to make the party, financially, if they go through with everything planned. And if that doesn't work, I'd take it up with the groom. I'd approach it casually, along the lines of "I really want to attend this bachelor party, but, financially, it's just not possible for me with everything that's planned."

This has happened to me before, I feel your pain. Ask if he'll do a payment plan I don't know why people just can't get drunk locally for bachelor/bachelorette parties anymore. Now there has to be extra meals and spa treatments beforehand.

The ideal bachelor party for me would be hanging out on the beach, drinking, nomming, and eating BBQ.

Amen. I was maid of honor in a wedding and had to skip an expensive trip to Mexico with the rest of the wedding party. I was a broke ass college, wtf did they expect?

They expect you to go broke or into debt "for the bride!"
