PSA to college students and college students-to-be.
If, hypothetically of course, you call your mom with a cheery "Hi, Mom! Love you! Call me back when you can!" and said mother does so and asks "Hi, Honey, what are you doing?"

DO NOT RESPOND WITH "I am in the hospital". Even if it because your roommate possibly fractured a toe, the fact that you have said
*I* and *hospital* in the same sentence is just about guaranteed to have Mommy wrap the family car around a big tree, doing unspeakable damage to the car,(which has satellite radio, TYVM) as well as BabyMidlo who is sprawling in the back seat watching
'Everybody Loves Raymond'.

This has been a PSA for Ava, WIMR and other college students in the DU community. Not Asher, though. He's still in High School.

:thumbsup:

7. Oh, dude. She was so sick. She got strep the day after we moved
her in and on top of that got an absolutely killer virus. She had horrific ulcers in her mouth. So bad, they gave her Vicodin.

SHe missed the first week of school, but her professors were great about it. It was heartbreaking to see her so sick. She has only been really, really sick a few times and boy, this was one. I couldn't get her to eat anything and IYRC, she's not in need of losing any poundage.

All's good though. She loves it. I'm just so glad she likes it and is happy there and doing well.

Did i ever tell you the only time i have gotten strep was when i was on a 5day cruise out of Tampa
4 out of the 5days, i could not even stand.......i always get sore throats because of my allergies and no tonsils, but this was horrible, the ship doctor gave me penis illin for the strep, and it took 10days at least, i flew home miserable......:hi:

8. Yes. In that context an article is appropriate.
Are you going to bust my stones forever about this? Is this the JVS bunco, minivan, boxed wine, Brenda, ped egg? I need to update my excel chart.


:loveya:

5. Sweetpea. It's all in the delivery.
:rofl:

I told her that she could have started out with "Hi, Mom!!! Ryanne hurt her foot so we took her to get x-rays".

I probably wouldn't have left car parts on the field where BabyMidlo was playing field hockey if that were the case.

:loveya:

Are you excited about this process college wise?

9. lol, i'm sorry
i know my mom would get scared too!

i am excited, but freaking out too. i take two subject tests on saturday, and one more in december. i'm done with the regular SAT and was a little disappointed that i didn't break the 90th percentile on my composite score(83rd percentile on my composite and 94th on verbal... i hate math, and i think it hates me too :P ). hopefully i'll still have a good chance in the schools i'm applying to though. it's all making me nervous as hell though! i'm freaking out just a teensy bit.

:hug:

16. basically he is sticking me with a credit card that
carries a balance that was transferred there from one of his cards. He says I should suck it up as my portion of the marital debt. Thing is, since we bought a new house and he is relinquishing his interest in it, I have picked up a $150k loan instead of the $80k loan I had pre-marriage.

I wonder how much of the debt he incurred is his porn addiction? I wonder if I took him to court if I could get that part out in the open for all to see.... :evilgrin:

18. I will be consulting with a lawyer in the next few...
plus I spent 1000 on plumbing here in the house just this week! :nuke:

He is such a pathetic fuck. I would feel sorry for him if I weren't so busy going between laughing at him and wanting to strangle him.

BTW - Saturday is my FUCK YOU party. I am drinking the 3 liter bottle of 2001 Stonegate Diamond Mountain Reserve that was given to us as a wedding gift. It is etched in the back with our wedding stuff, otherwise I would let it sit and get yummier. But, at least I have 4 regular bottles of it in the cellar, so I can give him the big finger while I drink the yummy wine with my friends....

I am going back to work next week after taking three weeks off to purge and heal my soul.
