RN I was shopping online looking for LED balloon lights. I mean a little LED light you could light up the inside of any balloon with. I am planning on decorating the yard with just a few red, white and blue balloons for the 4th of July. Then I ran across this youtube video and found out I could make my own waaaay cheaper! I would follow this guys instructions, except I don't need the magnets. I think this will be a fun project. I already went and ordered my supplies. Just some LED bulbs and cheap batteries. I already have the tape and balloons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjTP_T-wR9w

RN I'm thinking fondly of neighbors we had when we first moved in this house. Cops would show up once a month, usually around 2am, for drug raids. Lights flashing in our windows, sirens, cops yelling. Those neighbors were less annoying than the ones we have now! Cops would be done in an hour or two and all would be quiet for another month. These people don't even bother to start partying til 11:30 to midnight. Loud music, bright lights, people yelling and screaming, bottles breaking. 2nd night and third weekend in a row this has gone on. We, and several other neighbors, keep calling cops. Cops drive by a few hours later and never bother to stop even though the party is still going strong. I am really, really, really tired of these people.

RN, I think War needs to get together with her other quiet neighbors and have a block party... at 6 am. Balloons, streamers, fireworks, Square dancing with callers, Country Karaoke blasting out of speakers, pig calling blasting out of same speakers, kids having water balloon fights... loudly. Heck, have pig races too, those lil porkers will bust anyone's ear drums with the squealing. Maybe lease out a couple dozen cows in labor,... have a real hoedown.

RN, I agree! We have an 11:00 curfew in my city for teens under 18, they have to be in their own yard. Two houses away from me it's party city all summer long, tons of noise, breaking bottles, loud car engines, tire squealing, etc. The cops won't do anything about it. So I mow my lawn at 8 in the morning on Saturdays and take my sweet time about it.

RN I have to admit to a bit of snottiness. We send Caleb to mow nice and early and well, it comes in handy when your 14 year old loves Metallica and plays the electric guitar. His favorite place to practice the last week or two is in the backyard. My only problem is that we're not inconsiderate bozos like they are, so he's not outside bright and early blasting his amp (usually around 10-11 am when he doesn't have school.)

RN I'm a combination of really angry and woried. I just called UCLA because I never received my fellowship check for Spring quarter, which ended on Friday (and I should have gotten it in March). So I call to try to track it down, and it turns out, after lots of redirecting here and there, that the check had been sent to me, returned, and then, Grad Student Support says I didn't register for classes for Spring, so they confiscated the check. And that's not all! They are also charging me for registration fees and other stuff, so they are saying I owe the University like $4000, which, of course, I don't have. I called and left messages with people in Grad Student Support and in the English Dept, but nobody's returned the calls yet. And I REALLY need the money. Like, I'm down to my last 20 at this point. What's worse is that I can't even enroll retroactively because there's a hold on my account, so I have to get this deal cleared up with Grad Student Support...and then probably wait for 10 days until I get a new check. Gah! Maybe this should have gone in the gripe thread.

RN the blame is with me, which annoys me more. If I had been more careful to make sure I was enrolled, or if I had checked my .edu email address instead of hiding from my dissertation director, who gets angry because I write too little (even if he does like it when he reads it), or if I worried about money before I was down to my last, all of this could have been avoided. But I am often a person of missed ifs, so I have to bear the consequences. And maybe I should talk to my Dr about a higher dosage of antidepressant; that avoidance strategy is my depression symptom par excellence

RN, Tishala I hate it when I do something like that. As you know, you've just got to get past it somehow and move on. Hopefully, you can get in touch with someone who can help you sort this out.

Hope you get it sorted soon, Tishala. I'm doing the very same thing these days. Avoiding things that should be my first priority and this has caused me to lose a considerable lot recently. Anyway, hope it works out for you.

RN, I am reading the above posts and thinking we need a thread for procrastinators to encourage each other to keep on-track--sort of like the home life/organization thread. Tish, I wish you the best and hope you can get things worked out adequately--and quickly.
