Sorry for your loss...yesterday was a bad day all around...
Thanks. Right now I am just feeling shocked and not a bit like dealing with it.0 -

Holy kitten! What was wrong with it? Would it be cheaper to replace the whole thing rather than repair? Sometimes it can be cheaper that way.0 -

Oh no, I'm so sorry Mel! At least it was in her sleep? That is a pretty good way to go in my opinion.0 -

OMG, no way! That's insane!
Right?!? Hubby called me to tell me. He was super grumpy at me, but I know it was about the $$$.
You could use it as a sauna for the summer, I guess, but if you don't fix it now, you'll all freeze.death next winter. Bite the bullet and get it fixed.
Oh, it's getting fixed today. 98 degrees F (37 C) here tomorrow.
Oh, okay, too late

She looks just like me and some of them know me from the daycare. After two hours of that, I went to the store. We were out of bread, milk and Bride's cake ice cream. Should have left that right where it was. It's so goood. I came home and made some tuna salad for lunch, then proceeded to eat too much ice cream. Now, I get to spend the weekend watching what I am eating, and moving more.
Ha this was me yesterday! Ate a full pint of B&J's vegan peanut butter and oreo cookie ice cream and a ton of chips. I feel bloated and I'm sooo gassy lmao
A pint of Ben & Jerry's is a single serving as far as I am concerned.
You are correct!
Dittoing here and this is how Victoria came to weigh more than 200lbs
And Tami 195 lbs... a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's pretty much every night. Plus candy and Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
I'm not even telling y'all how much of a champ I had to be to get to 250lbs
I shudder to think at some of the binges I had when I was around 300 pounds.0 -
Sorry to hear that Mel. I hope everything can be sorted out without too much heartache.0

Thanks, Y'all. I am happy for her that she didn't suffer, but this is the birth giver, who left my husband with her mother to raise. She has spoken to each of us once since the grandmother who raised him died in October 2015. She hasn't even bothered to send my kids birthday cards. Today I will call the funeral home and make an appointment to write her obit and pick a box for her ashes. If her sister weren't in Hawaii on vacation, I wouldn't do that. (Apparently changing her return ticket would cost more than her round trip cost. I hate airlines.)
Maybe not caring makes me a bad person, or maybe she just finally pushed hard enough that we stayed out of her life for good so I have no reason to care. All I know is that my husband's aunt asked me to do this so I will.0 -

I don't think you are a bad person for not caring. I can think of a few people I wouldn't care about if they shoved off permanently. I hope Hubby is okay though?0 -

I was wondering if this was the birth giver. I know you all were not close and I am sure the aunt appreciates what you are doing. You are a good person to take care of that, even when it isn't your responisbility. It doesn't make you a bad person if that person has pushed you out and away, not much you can do.0 -

Nope.
Happy update - After getting the call from hubby telling me it was going to cost $5200, I prayed on the way home. I basically said, "God, we can cover $5200. It's gonna hurt but we can do it. I'm not asking for anything. I'm just turning this worry over to you." The repairman was still working on the system when I got home. Total bill when he was done? $1200.
God is good, all the time. 9 -

I slept terrible, and had to be up by 4:00 to meet my trainer at the gym by 5:00. Heavy deadlifts 5X5, lots of squats 4X12. So freaking tired...

Hahahahaha! I kept having weird dreams that would wake me up and then my baby snuck into my bed sometime during the night and ended up falling off so that kept me up for awhile and then my cousin decided to blow up my phone at 3 am.

Ouch! Sounds like a few of us need a good night's rest. I hope you all get one!0

He is except that his aunt is pushing him to participate in the arrangements because she is stuck on Hawaii and she thinks he will regret it later if he doesn't. There is next to no one who understands that he hated her for leaving and continuing the pattern by letting down our kids over and over didn't make that any better.
I was willing to do it all, but she won't let it go. It is unfortunate.0 -
