badw0lf hope you get the scoop on the layoff reasons lotsofdotts hope the inspection goes well dacora what are you and H going to play? I hope there's pizza and beer involved too. Always makes video game binging better. mmarie GL on the interview! mamabisme I hope today is better for your daughter. WittyLittle +1 for gas bubble mels823 your friend is being ridiculous, unless taking week long vacations is typical for you two, which obviously it's not.
Let's see if I can be so last minute and get the D-A-D pictures done today. Stopped by a craft store yesterday when I was visiting my grandmother, so I got letters, but they didn't have a 3 picture frame. Hoping WalMart will help me out there.
jensoprano82, my sister, who always complained about destination events, is now having her wedding out of state and her bridesmaids (not including me...I am the MOH though but did not suggest this) are insisting on planning an out of state weekend long bachelorette party for her which she is soooo excited for. Funny how the table turns when the party is for her!
My spam is that I'm getting really weird about food. I'm using the app Lose It! and so I'm watching my calorie count very closely. I get mad when DH asks for a bite of my food and I got irrationally upset when a section of my hard boiled egg fell on the hospital cafe floor at work the other day. When it comes to my plate, I feel like Gollum protecting his precious.
ETA: the results are awesome though so DH will just have to deal with it lol.
mels823, I had a friend who did similar things like that. She would plan week-long vacations that no one wanted to go to and included instructions like "No Husbands and No Kids allowed". It was so annoying and nothing ever materialized for her.
mrsclark731, Thanks. I do enjoy my job. I wish we had grades for our restaurant inspections. I know in some states and in NYC they have to post the letter grade on the front door. But in my state you don't have to do that and so it's not really that obvious when a restaurant is having violations.
I know there is an app that you can download and it can show you all the violations restaurants in your area have.
Oh, they have to post them in NY and NJ. I'm always looking. I agree with miniwheat ... If I had your job I'd probably never eat at a restaurant again!
I live in NJ. They have to post the "Satisfactory" sign in a "conspicuous" location. But do they comply when they have a "Conditionally Satisfactory?" ... "Oh, I forgot..."
One time I had to keep fining a restaurant because they wouldn't hang their god damn sign.
I'd much prefer a "A,B,C,D" on the front door like NYC!
This falls under my "destination wedding" rule: you want people to travel? You pay. Period. Unless it's super mutual and not planned by you (like a group of friends gets together and decides)
My DH's bff is getting married August 1st (the damn three hour drive childless wedding I was bitching about before) and the bachelor party was an overly extravagant white water rafting trip to Portland. We spent like $800 on the weekend!!! But who wants to be the one guy in the group who won't go? Aaaarg
toadandbuggie - I own restaurants and we welcome our health inspectors. We run a tight clean ship and we're proud of it. I'll take my A now please!
Ladies: please don't EVER eat at a non A. It's actually kinda hard to get bumped down a letter grade, you have to have something pretty wrong going on.
I People like you! You make my job that much easier. There are a few restaurant owners like you and we have a great relationship.
mamabisme So sorry for your little girl. Hope she feels better real soon.

mels823 I posted a couple of weeks ago about being invited to dinner to celebrate one of my best friend's 40th. We go to this restaurant often and were expecting to spend around $50. Her husband didn't tell us that he rented a room that required a fixed menu and he selected the $50 per person option! It wasn't listed on the menu so we had no idea and I had a couple of glasses of wine. We were surprised with a $157 bill at the end of the night. Needless to say we were pissed.
That being said, I told my husband that I want to go on something like your friend mentioned for my 40th, but I want to do that with my husband, not my friends. I would never ask or expect my friends to spend that kind of money for my birthday. That is obnoxious. If I spend lots of money, it will be on a vacation with my husband.
mels823 wow those requests always make you feel guilty but don't let it. She is allowed to have the kind of party she wants and it was nice to give you advanced warning. If she sprung it on you you would have no chance of saving of you wanted to or planning around baby.
I would send her a quick note saying something like: 'wow what and awesome way to start your thirties! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you but unfortunately I can't. I know you will have a fun time with x, y and Z. Then you can send her a gift pertaining to the trip maybe a cute beach dress or a gift certificate to a spa there.
I posted in the father's day gift thread that I had the most lame gift for DH... well I just found the card I gave him last year. I bought the same frigging card again! Argh!
lilyelayne I think the idea right now is Heroes of the Storm. It's the only MOBA that DH and I have started to enjoy. Maybe I'll load up Dragon Age: Inquisition because I haven't even touched the latest DLC that added the Black Emporium.
aggiebug,oooh great idea! I don't want her to feel like I don't love her to pieces, because I do, so sending her a gift related to the trip will mean a lot to her I am sure!
Super excited for the weekend. the bank I work for is taking part in a community celebration type thing, and I was handed the keys to the Ice Cream truck today to drive around town giving out free icecream!!!

I've done that for anniversaries before! So I just started buying cards that are blank inside, so even if I get the same one it doesn't matter haha.
@melz823, hell no. One of my friends is getting married and wants us all to fly somewhere in the U.S. (we are in Canada) for an all weekend bachelorette this fall. She doesn't even know where she wants to go, she just wants an "epic, crazy weekend that will be wilder than anything the boys will do". Yeah, let me know how that goes.
mamabisme poor DD. I hope she is able to get something in her belly, rest, and feel better soon.

michelle142, i know it's totally your decision and none of my business, but dropping a session was the worst choice I made when it came to breastfeeding. Though I was EPing.... that might have made a difference. Anyway, somehow it triggered my body to drop supply. Even 3 extra pumps per day didn't bring it back. I think that's pretty random but just in case I thought Id let you know

Ah man all this talk about health inspection makes me question everything I'v ever eaten anywhere ever. I used to work in an English pub... food was dropped and returned to the plate on more than one occasion (not by me...). Manager didn't care. So disgusting.

I'm pumping 4x a day, 5x a week right now. I'd only drop one pump a day on Fridays. I know when I pumped with DS (3 years ago), dropping pumps didn't effect my output at all, I actually pumped more milk during less sessions.
I'm thinking I'll just donate now and wait until DD is about 7ish months old to drop pumps.
morning. I am WFH today. I went to my PCP today regarding my eyes. She said it could be pink eye or it could be just allergies. She said I had other symptoms consistent with this being allergies. But she gave me eye stuff just in case. She says I don't really have to avoid social situations this weekend but that I probably should stay away from daycare.
But then my girlfriend sent me a picture of DD at daycare (her daughter is in her class and drops off after us) that Abby's eye is all puffy and red on the outside. I called daycare. They said the actual eye ball is not pink or red though but it seems swollen and shut. The peds also didn't seem too concerns and don't want me to bring her in at this point. UGH.
Did I mention our air conditioner has been broke for the past 2 days and they cannot come until next Friday? This also might be the issue behind our eyes being messed up.
Anyhow, my PISA is at work so I am manually pumping today which sucks. Just sucks.
badw0lf, Hope all is well! That is scary when people get laid off
I'm realizing how inconvenient it is to not have a paycheck. I split a portion of my paycehck into a checking account that I spend out of and the rest goes into a couple of saving accounts that I don't ever touch. I've had to dip into my savings twice now to pay some household bills. I guess that's what I get for being too lazy to open a joint account with DH to spend his money, hahaha. 1 more month til I start getting paid again, meanwhile I prob shouldn't be eyeing that certain handbag...
