I'm so irrated at the airlines & priceline.com!!! So everybody knows that it is cheaper to buy a round trip ticket than to buy a one way ticket most of the time. This is the deal: DD's dh is in Georgia and she is here with us. They will both be flying back to GA after the holidays. When she went to purchase the tickets for him to get here and then both of them to get back to GA, she just bought two round trip tickets from GA. Knowing that she won't be using the first ticket but dh would and then they could both fly out together. Well she didn't read the fine print from priceline saying if the first trip wasn't used that they cancel the returning ticket without refund. It's bull crap! Tell me how the airlines are out anything when she paid for the ticket full price!!! I just want to scream at somebody. Now my pregnant dd is crying because not only does she have to buy another ticket, but they won't be on the same flight!! It's crap and I think it should be against the law for airlines to do that!!!

So, some guy snuck in through the back door of my work today and stole my wallet, which contained my entire life. (Including my SIN number cause I forgot to take it out the ONE TIME I needed it) And I'm going away tomorrow to visit family, so I can't even go and get everything replaced... At least I cancelled my VISA and my bank card. Worse thing is, I know the guys just chucked my wallet somewhere when he took everything from it...Only thing I can hope for is some good person finding it and bringing it to my house... But seeing the last time I lost my ids, no one ever returned them, I doubt someone's going to return an entire wallet. And the fact I'm getting NO sympathy at all from my family, well, it's just icing on the cake. Great end, to a GREAT week </sarcasm>

Aw Neko, I'm sorry, that really sucks people do things like that. After a week of this terrible cold and another few days of the horrible cough that follows, I woke up this morning feeling like I'd been beat up by Santa and all his reindeer. My throat is sore, my nose alternates between running and being stuffed up, and I'm worn out. I'm hoping it's just a bad allergy day, but dangit I'm so sick and tired of being sick at this point!

Neko, that stinks. Hope you at least get your wallet back. War, hello......this is Christmas time. No getting sick! My gripe is that I have been putting weather stripping up but I am thrilled that I have learned how to do the big bad weather stripping job.

So sorry Denecee, Neko, Wargod and Rosie! My gripe today is that we have been hearing scratching, biting, clawing and digging in the attic crawlspace, and the only thing we could do about it (to protect the wiring) was put Dcon up there. It worked - on a huge rat - and even after removing the remains the smell won't go away! I'm hoping there isn't another one that we just can't find. Ugh!

(Urgrace, I read your post and have been sitting in the corner sucking my thumb ever since. And rocking back and forth.) As long as Willard and his weird Uncle Michael ain't living in my attic, Sister, I got no gripes. None at'all. Neko, here's hoping you get all of your things back immediately and here's hoping the Wargod family is happily healthy sometime very soon.

Yes. I will post pictures after lunch. Not only that, there was another barbie at the store that was wearing a lacey nightie and a fuzzy robe. Very provacative. I don't think barbie should be wearing clothes that kids' shouldn't be wearing. I hate HATE those bratz dolls. They look like street trash.

Well I guess it's a good thing that my daughter doesn't play with dolls!

I just think that goes beyond the lines of modesty.

Correct me if I am wrong, but would it hurt matel to put a little bit more thought into modesty afterall they are rated for 3 year olds and up.

Wasn't it just solid plastic before? No nothing? At least they don't put genitalia and pubic hair on the dolls, so I guess I should be relieved. This is plastic underwear (all part of the doll), you can see the pattern and the lines, and they are thong. Then on top of that she has a leotard that is also thong, then just a tu tu over the top.

Well all I know, it that I'm sure that a more appropriate Barbie could have been chosen for the age of the recipient.

Why should we train kids to be embarrassed of body parts? I agree about inappropriate clothing though.
