I hate that they have to put those stupid stickers on 'every' single individual piece of fruit. I can never get them off of a pear without tearing the skin and then it goes brown in my lunch bag by the time I am ready to eat it. And if I miss a sticker and wash the fruit first, the sticker is impossible to get off once it is wet. Oh, and I am tired of being 50 and still regular with no noticeable signs of perimenopause. I have been having a period for 39 years now. Enough. I never really minded that part of being a woman, because I have loved being a mother and figured it was a fair trade off, but it's really starting to get old now. Cute avatar!

She wants to turn her dd's various sports jerseys into a quilt to give dd before she goes to college. I said "That's a big one- very time consuming. I've never made one, I've only seen the finished product." She said "Yes- but I have faith in you!" I am not making this quilt. I can't even believe she asked. You call her right back today and say you've done some research and you will be HAPPY to make it for her but your cost will be $1000 to cover labour and it's not negotiable! She will also have to supply all the materials which, other than the jerseys, and depending on the fabric she chooses, will be another $100-$200. She will have to buy everything including the thread. I did that once and that person backed away real fast.

Here's mine. Even though I love my family, there is a reason why I live 350 mile away.
Dear Auntie - why not say you are going to take cousin out for her birthday dinner instead of lying about going to a wedding reception? You posted the pic on FB for the whole family to see. You are truly an idiot. SMH
Cousin: your kids are rude brats.

Sues, it was even nice of you to send her the tutorial. It AMAZES me what people think they are entitled to. I would like to see her face when it actually when it actually connects in her brain that you are not making this.

I need this thread today. I used to be friends with a group of women when my dd was in grade school. It was fun while it lasted, but by the end I started to feel like the personal assistant to the group instead of a friend. 'Can you shorten my jeans?' 'Can you make me curtains?' 'Can you sew these patches on?' 'Can you take my carpool spot today?' 'I can't do my room mom stuff today- can you take it for me?' It was endless. When they started to be generally inconsiderate, it was too much for me. I knew as soon as dd moved on to middle school, I was done. That was three years ago. When I backed away, there was no big blow out- but they knew something was wrong and I was retreating. They didn't waste a second trying to find out what was going on- so bascially, I knew I was right. I wasn't a friend- I was just useful to them. In the three years since then, I have only had incidental contact with any of them. Polite, like acquaintances - but that's it. Out of the blue I got a message from one over the weekend telling me she has a great plan for her dd's graduation gift- and four years to make it happen. She just needs someone crafty to help her out. She wants to turn her dd's various sports jerseys into a quilt to give dd before she goes to college. I said "That's a big one- very time consuming. I've never made one, I've only seen the finished product." She said "Yes- but I have faith in you!" OK- so, I never said I'd do it- and clearly she expects me to just do it, not be paid for it. Not that money would change my mind. I was just stunned that she thought the first message she has sent me in three years could be a favor of this magnitude. I sent her a link to a step by step tutorial and said "These are easy to follow steps. Good luck. You shouldn't have a problem following them." Her response? "Look at you- I gave you four years and you're already on the ball!" I am not making this quilt. I can't even believe she asked. Balls. She has them. I concur! Are you going to let her float along with her disillusion for a while? Or email a reply, "Be sure to send me a photo when you're finished! Sounds like a cute project!"

Thanks for sharing my shock! The last message I sent said I would happy to give her advice as she works on this project...and good luck to her dd. She still seems clueless. I forgot the other good part of her initial message. She said she had this great idea- but she knows the other moms want to do it too- so 'I want to get my order in FIRST'. So- not only does she have the nerve to ask- the other moms are apparently planning to ask as well. Sharlag- I LOVE that shade on you!!!

SharlaG - I love that shade, what is it please? When my hair grows back that's the shade for me Thank, PascoePea! It was a light auburn by L'Oreal, but I can't find the box image on the internet to show you... Anyway, I think the number was 6.5. The deal is, I had been getting lighter and lighter with the 'light brown' shades I HAD been using. To the point of people complimenting my new BLONDE look. I was worried about too much bleach in what I had been choosing, and getting TOO light, so I switched to something I THOUGHT was one shade darker. It turned out bright, BRIGHT. I think it did that because of the light/bleach on my hair from previous coloring. I don't know if you could replicate it on virgin hair.

Thank you SharlaG L'Oreal Light Auburn number approx 6.5 is on my list. I will have to wait at least 6 months before I can colour it tho'. At the moment the only hairs that are growing back are pure white! So mine could be redder than yours

to the ladies at Target today - at one of their busy times - did you and your extreme couponing really need to monopolize one lane so that they had to open up at least 2 other lanes because you had so many coupons and had to argue over how each thing was rung up? and I am guessing that those products you had a dozen of each with coupons were on sale and you bought all that the store had, and no one else had a chance to get any I was just glad that we decided NOT to get ice cream, it would have been a puddle by the time we checked out (and they were still at it at the lane next to us!) And we weren't the only ones ready to strangle them.... I may have been in the same lane as you! My son and I were at Target last night, only 3 lanes open, 2 lines were long so we went to the short one....then we saw why. The lady had a stack of coupons. A huge stack! If it was you that was behind her, we may have looked at each other and rolled our eyes! We moved to another lane but that was awful. Poor, young, teenage cashier boy. You could see it all over his face. I don't have a vent yet.....I'm sure it's coming.

I had an MRI today. I have to go on Wednesday to find out of I need a pin or not in the hip. If I need a pin we will schedule the procedure. Why can't they call me and tell me if I need a pin or not and if not, just cancel the appointment. There isn't anything else that can be done. It is a "get a pin or not". Why waste my time and the insurance money if the answer is, "It's healed...you're good."?

Whew. She is definitely thinking you are making this quilt. Next she will be ringing your doorbell and holding a box of jerseys. Probably stinking from the last game she played wearing them. After all, she probably expects you to wash them too.

Ok, I'll vent. I need to decide whether or not to go ahead with a pain pump trial so I asked my RSD support group if any of them have gone through this and if so could they give me the good, the bad, and the ugly. Nothing but crickets!!! I know a lot of them have a pain pump but I am not part of the "in-crowd" so I feel as if they are ignoring me. I have to make this decision and I don't want to do it without all the information/advice I can get. Why can't they just post? ?

Did you try different brands? I'm considering trying a better quality set but if they're generaly not a good thing I'll have a re-think
