Re: FFF
earlier this week, when our power was out and we didn't know when it would be back on, DH called his best friend/the husband of one of my best friends to see if we could stay with them for the night (if the power never came back). we'd have to bring our dogs of course...and the guy said he'd call his wife and make sure, but it should be fine.
he calls back and says it's fine, and he knows the dogs have crates and all, but they just got their carpets cleaned and she'd freak out if it got dirty again.
this couple has just gotten ALL of their doorknobs in the house changed out, a new glass storm door put on, the pool deck has been power-washed, and FOUR new light fixtures have been put up.
DH DID EVERY BIT OF THAT WORK. because neither of them know how to do home stuff.
i'm still pissed inside that she would treat us like that, given everything DH has done for them over the past few months.
the flameful part....i probably won't ever tell her how pissed off i am about the whole sitch. because we ended up not needing to stay with them.

even if you don't tell her, I'd sure think twice, maybe three or four times, before I help them out again.
oh yeah, DH has already said it will take a long while before he stops what he's doing to help them out with something.

Your friends are selfish twats. It's not like you're going to let Bo and Keno drop a deuce on their carpet.
I confess that I am completely obsessed with my dog, and need to chill out. I spend way too much time looking up new toys, food, treats, etc for him. I just love him so much and want him to be happy. I wish I could afford to take him to doggie day care every day. I hate that he has to be crated while I'm gone, even though I can come home at lunch to let him out.
ETA - It also pleases me inside when he will not immediately obey BF when he gives him a command, without looking at me first like "Mom, do I really need to do what he says?". Or sometimes he won't obey BF at all until I step in, give the command, and then he immediately obeys. I want him to obey BF as much as he does me, but I like seeing the proof that he recognizes me as the "real" boss since BF doesn't live with me. I will probably feel differently about this when BF moves in, LOL.
Nothing makes H and I happier than when Roxey is walking around with a big old fat grin on her face. We live to make that dog happy!
On another note. . . my eyes are permantely stuck in the
position after seeing this picture on ML
I love this...it sounds like something I would say.
haaa, ditto. i'm pretty sure Bo and Keno love more than they love DH. it's great

I serisously can't stop thinking to myself "what the motherfuuck".
there are so many questions!

Like why the hell would you want your son's peen laying between your asss cheeks?!?!
Oh.Dear.Lord.
PS I quoted this part of the thread because I couldn't bear quoting the pic and having to see it as I type this.
and why is the dad so gleeful??
and how much does a photog charge for this sort of psychological trauma?
could they not all find matching outfits, and THIS was the only alternative??
My Shopping Blog
Or between your other son's asss cheeks!!!
And the poor unsuspecting baby in the front!
that baby is the luckiest of the bunch!! no inappropriate peen contact in any way.
My Shopping Blog
True, but if they would do that in a studio and then share it with their nearest and dearest, can you imagine what is going on in the privacy of their home? I'm pretty sure even the baby isn't safe from peen contact there...
Okay, mine is that I hate FB. There are so many reasons why, but today the reason is that my drama queen former-ish friend who is in the process of getting divorced keeps posting "woe is me" type updates that are just vague enough to get someone to bite asking "is everything okay?" or "what happened?" so that she can then follow up with a super-whiny update on the gory personal details of her divorce. Get some class and keep it off of FB - yeesh!
And then there's her ex-H whose new 19yo GF keeps posting stuff like "we are having so much fun - squeee!!!" on his wall.
And for the flameworthy part... I still can't bring myself to defriend them or hide their feeds because I can't keep myself from watching the train wreck.
1. that is SO annoying, shady friend does that ish too, and it's SO obviously a ploy to get people to be all "oh no, what happened"...GAG.
2. i get you on the defriending. i'm totally still FB friends with douchey-ex boyfriend AND his wife...so i can mock their lameness. and their wedding pics.

I had to hide a friend due to their divorce drama, it was so ridiculous. She was carrying on with a new boyfriend, but swearing that they were just friends. The couple was not divorced yet. Meanwhile she was checking in with the new guy all over the place and posting tons of pics. Then she posted bitching about the fact that her ex was posting on FB with pics and status updates of how happy he is with his new girlfriend. Pot, meet kettle.
I also confess that I am going to make BF look at that picture when he gets home so he can be just as disturbed as I am.
I have totally hidden a friend on FB b/c of drama. You can still see the drama if you go to their page, but aren't subject to it when you log on just to see a message or something.
My in-laws have been in town less that 24 hours and I already want to strangle them. The pretentious attitude needs to stop, they no longer have means to be pretentions (not that it was ever acceptable) but REALLY, we see you maybe once a year, can't you just be NORMAL? Everything is NOT about you.
