I don't know if this is good or bad. The community we are buying into has only had 1 sale in 2015. Apparently these people have lived their forever. Only 51 families and are over 55, so I bet its a tight knit bunch, guess we will see how that goes. It could be very good or very bad, depending I guess. I'm back at looking for movers, we only have one quote so far. I would take it and be done with it, but hubs wants me to do more.Good! If you are not careful, you are going to hurt yourself and that will make things even harder. When I emptied my place in KY to move to WA, I realized that physically I could not do this by myself. TD helped, but I had just spent 18 months getting back into my feet and I was not about to wreck the work my surgeon did. Is saving money not using movers really saving money if one of you winds up hospitalized and totally incapacitated?

I didn't think about that. My computer must think I'm moving. Chloe's Macbook : What has possessed her to look at Kansas City area? Everyone knows there's no way to understand why there's one city in two states. ![](https://static.vecteezy.com/system/resources/previews/002/928/034/large_2x/a-schoolgirl-in-class-or-in-an-exam-thinking-about-how-to-do-her-homework-or-assignments-the-girl-is-thinking-about-it-flat-illustration-with-question-marks-vector.jpg) I'm east coast so it's not my turf, but I won't play the "it's one city!" game, lol. It's one metro area, two different municipal governments. But I am loving the vicarious house hunting!

Spent the day at the hospital. I was having chest pain and was debating my next course of action, when 911 calls ME to tell me an ambulance is on its way. Six paramedics show up and take me to the Montreal General. EKGs done, bloods done, had a chest X-ray and a CT scan. It's not a heart attack. It's calcification of a cardiac artery. I'm probably going to need another stent. I also have a mass on my lung. Lovely I hope you get better soon. But as a real nosy person I wonder how 911 knew that you were in trouble and needed help? Simon called them.

I really need one of these other jobs to pan out. In teams, you can chat yourself.I am chatting myself as a coping strategy. Really? I could use that. I got asked by a coworker today if I plan on walking if I get a bad review. He wanted to know if I am going to be a "lifer" who puts up with all the shit or get out. I told him I am not planning on out right quitting but I am looking to leave. I am considering going for the associate chemist position. It would be a title bump which would benefit me with job hunting and of course in the immediate future with a more than 3% pay bump. Why shouldn't I even if I don't intend to be a lifer? I feel like they can't drag my self esteem any lower. DH and my work BFF are extremely concerned about how low I have sunk in regards to how I view myself professionally. Well that's what happens in our toxic work environment. I'm doing pretty good compartmentalizing and not letting it bleed so much into my interactions with DH and the girls but it's always there. I figure if accept that that is how they view me here I am better off. I can't keep expending the mental energy trying to prove them wrong. I still do my job and do it well because that is in my nature but I am not going to keep trying to "prove" myself because it'll never happen. There is just nothing out there. I am trying to do what the career counselor said and repackage myself but nobody knows how to hire it seems. Even when I can confidently explain how X translates into how I'd be able to do Y they aren't interested because it would involve "having to train me". It was a fucking entry level position according to their own description. It's not entry if you aren't willing to train people. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/actnatural.png) ETA: Sorry if I seem to be hijacking. I'm really not intending to I want to show I can relate. I'm also wound tighter than a two cent watch because today is review day. I have the meeting at 3:00pm. Hijacking is the entire point of this thread. It’s the equivalent of everyone saying “SQUIRREL!”. “Oooh, where squirrel?”. “I love squirrels!”. “DIFFERENT SQUIRREL!” …in my own heavily biased and deeply distracted opinion. Hijack away

Good Luck, today drama. I'm also terrified mine is coming up in a few weeks. I made it to 10:30 before I had a total mental breakdown and now I can't stop crying. I made a mistake and I am going to be "talked to" about it. I know what that means. It means I will get a run down of every single real and perceived mistake I have ever made since I walked in the door and that I will never be promoted and that I should be grateful I even have a job at all at this point. Especially on the heels of my stupid mistake with those gluten free pretzels a couple of months ago. Cause I cannot make mistakes I have been told that repeatedly. Me making mistakes drags everyone else in the lab down and my imperfections make everyone dislike me and I single handedly have destroyed customer satisfaction in our lab. I am getting us all in trouble with my poor work habits. I want to go home so bad but it's not going to do any good it will just delay the inevitable.

In other news, I showed the guy that’s doing the deck, where I’d like to create a separate seating area on the ground, and asked him for a wild ass guess to how much it might cost for him to do the surface stuff. Long story short, it was much less than I expected, and even if it ends up being double, I’m good with that too. And of course the type of materials will play a big part in cost, but I have control over what I choose for the surface. The entire project might end up being a bit expensive over the long term, because I want it to eventually be covered, but it was good news that I could get it started for a lot less than I thought. I’m not trying to do it anytime soon, I just wanted the information for later. Yesterday Mister asked him does he do interior work too, and he said we can take your whole house apart and put it back together and make it better than ever. I thought that was kind of funny. Mister was asking because his Aunt had an escapade Monday that’s didn’t go well, that I didn’t tell you all about. Mister told her (again) that he’s going to disable her car, since she keeps driving even though she knows she shouldn’t. The first time he said it, she got upset. This time, she knew she had really messed up, and she whined and tried to plead her case more than she tried to argue. That's what my DB did to mom's car. He disconnected the battery and took the keys. We also told her she had to quit driving, but he just was being cautious.

My dad kept disabling Gu's truck but he would find someone to "fix" it. Legally my dad could not damage the truck to the point where it was actually undriveable.
Unfortunately you eventually have to accept that no matter how destructive they are they have autonomy. If they want to risk flying off a cliff Thelma and Louise style that their choice. You can only pray they don't take other innocent people out with them.

Work continues to be an unmitigated mess. We got verbal reassurance, with multiple witnesses, at multiple time points, that it was fine to do X. Apparently we needed it in writing instead bc we have now pissed off Side A by doing X, while Side B is pissed off because they moved heaven and earth in order to accommodate Side A which involved doing X. Side A is now begrudgingly accepting that X is happening…but this is all coming about because they killed a perfectly healthy and thriving project presumably for political reasons (while continuing to fund two that are in much, much worse shape) and now they are apparently bent on burning things to the ground and salting the earth. While continuing to expect a good working relationship with Side B. I can’t even. I am all out of even. Yes we always get frustrated with inanities of government BUT often for profit companies are amazingly stupid

Mich, I am also one that really likes periwinkle. Good luck with shoes. Maybe silver? I think that color is popular this year. Cheesy, I am sorry for your loss. DB, DS and I visited the Senior living place DB wants to put my mom at today. It is $5,450 for a private studio suite. The place my friend has their mom at is $5,450 for a one Bedroom unit with a kitchenette. I am going to nose around a bit to compare to other places, but DB wants mom at this place b/c proximity to his house. Sent a text to mom's neighbor for the name of the place her dad is at. It is also close to where mom lives now. Drama, I have a Santa like you describe. I loved it, but it no longer plays music, so I did not bring it out last year. My Bombas socks I bought in spring (4 pr) have all disappeared. I don't wear them that much, but I don't know what happened to them. I still had one pair around last week. I am hoping they are in the hamper, otherwise DD may have nabbed them. Ask about the level of care they provide. There was a place my grandma could afford but because of the level of care she needed they wouldn't take her. They also did not have memory care so we would have been stuck trying to move her the worse her dementia got and it's is fucking HARD to move them around once they are already in a home. A place that has increasing levels of care would be ideal because a resident is grandfathered in so they get automatic preference once a room opens up should they need more care. And that's pretty cheap I am impressed. Grandma was $8,280 for a private room. They hiked their rates and now she pays MORE than that to share a dual space with another resident. She has her own bedroom but they share a bathroom and common area. Medicaid pays about $5k and I have to pay the rest out of her SS. Yeah, my Mom's neighbor is in a memory care facility near her house and it is $8600/month. if medicaid pays $5,000 she has Pension and Annuity Income of $3,314/month. I was not sure if Medicaid would take that money and limit her cost of care to whatever they pay. If we are allowed to use it for her care, DB and I could afford to pay the difference. They quoted a range for her care depending on their review of what she needs. The person that does that is on vacation until mid-July. We will see what they say after they do the review.

You can only pray they don't take other innocent people out with them. My mom mostly would ask DB to "fix" it if it was broken, or maybe my BIL. BIL would not have done it either. She could have asked someone at church, but they all knew we told her she could not drive. Messing with that is pretty much unethical as we were not just concerned with her safety, but other pedestrians and drivers.

I hope that your DH's inheritance from FIL's estate gives you enough financial security that you can move on to another job and put this stress behind you. I have felt this way on my current job, but I am 60 years old and have a decent amount saved. We should be good if I quit working and DH keeps going, what holds me back is DH seems to be constantly on edge that he will be terminated too. Yesterday he was complaining of a headache. He just had an MRI 2 weeks ago when they diagnosed the Bell's Palsy, so I think it is just a stress headache. So, the plan seems to be keep putting one foot in front of the other. Sigh, I have tried to tell my kids to ramp up their savings both for retirement and emergencies, but they are still in the pay off debt phase of life.

Went to see both houses. The one on Central is amazing. I'm putting in an offer. We'll see if there ends up being a bidding war for this one too. There were a few other people looking at it too.

Sorry I haven't read any of the messages on the board. I'm exhausted but happy between mom's visit and new job.
Job is going well. It's quite an adjustment after 12 years with the same employer. Love the company, everyone is so nice and friendly. Completely different from the environment I come from. Of course I have a lot to learn but I like this.
I have a question. Yesterday I got an email from Musicbed. It said welcome. It's a music streaming service. Did not sign up for this service.
Being busy right now I forgot about it. This morning I got an email from someone at Musicbed welcoming me to their services. None of the emails have an unsuscribe option.
I googled the company and it says the service is free for 14 days.
I don't know what to do about this.

However where I am now, is not great as third person in the position above me is a clear golden child as the boss is concerned. Really want to get promoted into a different location but am limited by my lack of car. Going to put in an application soon nearby with the note I hope to have a car in about three weeks. Its hard, but try to remember they are projecting all their inadequacies onto you. I had it happen a few times with various bosses at the old place and zero times with the good healthy bosses at the same facility. The big difference was mgmt not me.

Leaning towards going in, possibly on a later bus since there are two two person things that need to happen today and only one two person thing that has to happen tomorrow. Today and tomorrow are usually the busiest days, but not always. Feel like crap though and off my usual morning sched by a half hour. Hate being poor, hate having no car, hate not being able to get sleep helpers until Sat morning unless I call out sick cuz weather plus bus. Yet today would be the better day to take looking at the three day in a row sick rule. Since I am pushing myself for the job's convenience not mine, I may end up taking three business days off in a row, with one of them being scheduled as a vacation day. Sat is a bonus day so working it, I don't think counts if I take off tomorrow sick and then Mon & Tuesday. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/melancholy.png) Sucks being me. Boss is a decade younger than me more or less and has 5 weeks of vacay. I have two because I have less than 5 years of service. can you go in for a partial day? On lunch now. Probably will do that for tomorrow morning. Tired, cranky and irritable from lack of sleep and hydration. Lack of hydration is causing pain below my waist which I could have fixed had I stayed home thisd morning and drank like a fish. Sad thing is to the outside world many people like to assume I'm OK, just a whiner, versus in worse shape than their loved ones with obvious sinus and allergy symptoms.

I messaged my medical provider and said I was quitting provastatin because of body aches and I am NO for a colonoscopy. Arthritis is enough to deal with.
I couldn't get the sheets on my bed correctly. I didn't have a temper tantrum but just stopped. I need sheets with a pattern so I know which way is which. I expect my mood to get better shortly.

If they exist, and it's a paid service. you probably need to call them to make sure it gets canceled. Also unsubscribing by using the unsubscribe option is not going to stop them from charging a credit card.

I know, that was the point of me putting water on one of the pieces that had been cut off of a board. The water just pooled on top. He saw it. I’m not going to argue with him about it. I gave him the information, that’s all I can do. It really is all you can do. I feel like he instinctively just does the opposite of what you say just because. It would drive me batty. Plus I feel like he doesn't take care of his things which would irk the crap out of me. I'm huge on taking care of things so they last longer. I am learning how not to let him drive me batty lol.

Opti, if you are sick you are sick. I would go to a doc for something like that. It's not only miserable but can take forever to clear. They obviously aren't too concerned about their employees if they think you can't take off when you are like that. Sad, I feel for you. I have got to get busy, so much to do, so little time to do it in. I am sick and currently in hock for prior office visits so getting to a doctor is non trivial and adds another expense. The clinic won't even give me anything when I am like this because the infection can't be seen until I am hydrated enough for it to show up. (Went to collections for officiAL DOC just as I was going to kick in $50/mo. One is paid, the other one was just partially paid. Not sure if I could even get an appt plus the logistics of getting to the office.) I do have a Zpak that I didn't use. It will help slightly, but not much if I do not fix the flow issue. I have been using my humidifer since mid week last week and just started the Neti pot a couple days ago. Things are so dry the solution mostly comes right out. Does not help that under stress I think I don't want to go on much so I under drink and over eat or don't eat at all.

I keep tags on all of the sheets, blankets, and quilts. They are all placed so the tag is on the foot end of my side of the bed. Everything is correct in this orientation. Standing at the foot of the bed, my side is the right hand side. It is such an easy way to be sure all of the bed linens are on correctly.

The entire project might end up being a bit expensive over the long term, because I want it to eventually be covered, but it was good news that I could get it started for a lot less than I thought. I’m not trying to do it anytime soon, I just wanted the information for later. Yesterday Mister asked him does he do interior work too, and he said we can take your whole house apart and put it back together and make it better than ever. I thought that was kind of funny. Mister was asking because his Aunt had an escapade Monday that’s didn’t go well, that I didn’t tell you all about. Mister told her (again) that he’s going to disable her car, since she keeps driving even though she knows she shouldn’t. The first time he said it, she got upset. This time, she knew she had really messed up, and she whined and tried to plead her case more than she tried to argue. That's what my DB did to mom's car. He disconnected the battery and took the keys. We also told her she had to quit driving, but he just was being cautious. Idk if he’s going to actually do it or not, but he is getting aggravated by her doing dumb stuff and then calling him when things go awry. Monday, the call was because she passed out at a church. Why was she even at a church on a Monday afternoon? We don’t know. But maybe being around people was better than her being at home alone when it happened. But what if it had happened while she was driving there or back home? She has finally admitted that she shouldn’t be living alone. But where does she go? She doesn’t have any money. Her house isn’t worth much. We spent half of 2022 and most of 2023 trying to figure things out for Mister’s parents and it was hell trying to get answers, and we still mostly didn’t. I don’t think Mister is up for trying to figure it out for his Aunt, and I know I’m not. We both contacted the local Aging Commission more than once, when we were trying to find out options for Mister’s Dad, and nobody got back to us with any kind of info either time.

Sorry I haven't read any of the messages on the board. I'm exhausted but happy between mom's visit and new job. Job is going well. It's quite an adjustment after 12 years with the same employer. Love the company, everyone is so nice and friendly. Completely different from the environment I come from. Of course I have a lot to learn but I like this. I have a question. Yesterday I got an email from Musicbed. It said welcome. It's a music streaming service. Did not sign up for this service. Being busy right now I forgot about it. This morning I got an email from someone at Musicbed welcoming me to their services. None of the emails have an unsuscribe option. I googled the company and it says the service is free for 14 days. I don't know what to do about this. Mark it as spam and ignore it

Waiting for mover to call back. I've looked at several but many the trucks are too big or they don't load and unload. I will pack no issue there. But hubs said he just can't lift like that anymore. So he was just wanting so many cubic feet, that meant LTL, no, might make multiple stops and we have more than that, the price for the whole 26 ft box truck was 2500 more. I asked and we can ship the generator, mower or mowers too if we have room or tools. They have a Tommy lift on the truck and 2 guys. It's outsourced like everything anymore, but they have insurance. So the whole truck is $8k, I think that is reasonable and we can pack it full. They go buy cubic feet, not weight, or so they say.

I'm going back to the ER. I signed myself out yesterday because I had a very hungry cat at home and they were going to transfer me to verdun general in the morning. I don't want to go there, as it's really far and yu can't get there by bus or subway. There will be follow-up appointment s in oncology and cardiology. I'm havig my medical records transferred to the montreal general from verdun. I'm going back now. I need referrals

This is almost 10 years ago, but we have gotten moving rentals with Uhaul or Penske, etc. In the process of doing the online reservation, we had the option to hire a local loading crew at the move out end, and a different local team at the move-in end. This is what we opted to do, and it worked out fine, as we did the driving of the rental truck.
