It's only Thursday Randoms

[turtle]

What have you got?

[turtle]

I am starting today's randoms at dark o'thirty with a PSA. If you visit the bathroom early in the morning, make sure to turn on the light and look in the toilet in case there's a bat in there. If the bat looks dead, it's not dead. Trust me.

I have no idea what to do now.

You need to burn down your house.

Yes, yes I do.

[turtle]

I put the toilet lid down and closed the bathroom door. I put painters tape around the outside of the door so he couldn't get through the crack. I have to go to my workshop so someone is coming afterwards to get it out so I can have it tested for rabies. It's going to be 300 dollars.

I'm sort of hoping it will drown but it's not going to save me money as I'm sure as hell not going to check to see. I think I just heard the toilet lid move. Fun times.

[erbear]

Omg nooooo. I've had bats in our bedroom at my H's family's camp and that's terrifying enough!

[pghtruelove]

turtle I second the burning down of your house. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

[jillywilly]

turtle, I'm sorry, that is not a good start to the day. I don't necessarily mind bats if I see them outside, but do not want them in my house. Really don't want them in my toilet when I'm trying to use it. I hope the rest only gets better from here!

As for us, our morning started a lot less eventfully. DS woke up early with a cough, but seems ok otherwise. Taking the dog to the vet later for some vaccination updates, etc. Just thankful it's my Friday!

[blueskiessmiling]

turtle Did it bite you?!

[blueskiessmiling]

Great, I'm never going to be able to pee at night with the light off anymore.

[ashbash]

The thought of a bat wing flapping against my bare ass makes me want to scream. I am so sorry that actually happened to you and that you have to go to a workshop and be a normal adult while that beast is still in your toilet eeekkkk

This is an amazing story

We're on the road and both boys are asleep. Which is fantastic because BH got up at 4 AM.

[txngrl31]

What's your address so I can send you all the alcohol?

That's a rough time to start the day.  Hopefully he'll start waking up later, like yesterday.  Have a fun trip!

[txngrl31]

billyhorrible, where are y'all headed? I think I missed it. Fingers crossed for smooth travels and a nice vacation.

michyme123, yay for Hawaii! When are y'all going! How long of a flight is it for y'all?

We are debating spending Christmas in the Cotswolds , rather than head down South to spend it with our families. I feel a little selfish not taking V to spend it with her grandparents though. Does anyone know if the weather is totally horrible in the UK at Christmas? ( directed at my UK ladies)

[prettymama36]

Holy shit turtle. I'm so sorry. That is an insane story!

[erbear]

I'm going out with my mom's group to see bad moms tonight and I'm so excited! This theater sells alcohol, too, so Yesss, mama's getting s drink tonight!

I have a follow up with the ortho on my knee today, too. I've seen minimal progress, so I imagine I'll be back at physical therapy next week.

[holliberry28]

Are private investigators a real thing? I'm thinking Jessica Jones. My friend is considering going to one today.

[belle0720]

carrots I can send you a free tote, but it's going to be a better deal using one of their coupon codes www.retailmenot.com/view/letote.com

[mirage86]

That's crazy turtle! I hope they can get rid of it soon. If I was your neighbor, I would probably come over with a butterfly net and bang on the side of the toilet until it flew in. I don't want you to have to burn your house down!

Totally a thing. My moms husband is one. He definitely doesn't look like Jessica jones:P

let us know how it is! I'm going with friends in a couple weeks!

+1 - my BFF and I are planning on going out on Sunday to see it. I'm so excited!

[holliberry28]

I'll move this to the private board.

We saw Bad Mom's last night.

You guys, having strangers come look around your house while you're not home is super weird.

First, last week our broker left a candle on at our house after the broker's open. Get it together lady, you could have burned our house down, especially with where she had put the candle on a shelf sitting under another shelf. Then yesterday we get home after two sets of people had come to see the house and a bedroom light is left on, they used one of our ladders and left it sitting out, and someone used the main bathroom and left the toilet seat up. Super weird.

Mostly I'm just a little disappointed that we haven't gotten an offer yet when I know that a lot of houses in our area have been getting multiple offers and selling in a week. Plus our broker specifically told us to be ready for it to sell within a week, so I feel like I was set up for disappointment.

One of the couples was planning to put an offer in and brought over a contractor to look at it again yesterday. I guess they wanted to expand the master bedroom. But they decided not to make an offer because it was going to be too costly. And now our broker just texted me talking about going to the city to see what the city limits are on building out to the street corner on the side of our house. I'm confused why she is trying to market our house as somewhere with "room to grow". Sure there is space to expand, but our house is completely renovated, move-in ready, and bigger than most in our tract so it just doesn't make sense to me to put it out there like it needs more work. She wants to meet tonight but of course I have a rehearsal tonight and won't be home until later so we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow. I think we're going to have another open house on Saturday, which is fine, it's just so hard to keep the house clean with a baby running around getting into everything!

Was it good? I'm excited just to get out for a couple hours with my BFF without kids, but I'm slightly worried I'm going to be really disappointed by the movie itself. 

[Bluedaisy]

michyme123 I really enjoyed it! I found it quite funny and the soundtrack was good.

I really want to see it, but will wait for it to come out on Amazon.  I don't think I can watch a movie without wine anymore.  #problem?

[Bluedaisy]

The theatre was packed so that made it more fun too because people were really reacting...at one point people were cheering.
