Happy T-Day to my U.S. busties!!!

Happy Thanksgiving American Busties!!!!

[culturehandy]

Good Morning!!

Coffee, I'm with you on that! (((coffee)))

(((((kitten))))) I hope your turkey day goes well!

(((((sassy))))) I'm with ccg, as someone who has had dogs fairly consistently since I was 4, they are members of the family. They are wonderful additions. I'm glad that puppers is back at home. *slurpy kisses from Em*

(((((ccg))))) you can do it!!! Put on a happy face, then kick something after.

So, I got my car back and all is well! Picked it up yesterday and had a better battery put in. Went for a walk with the dog, soaked my piercings, then seriously fell asleep at 7 and slept right through to the alarm this morning.

Now I must eat. FOOD!

Congrats kitten!

(((sassy))) I think anyone who has a pet knows that it's never "just" a dog. They really are family.

CH, yay for having a warranty!

Can I get some "put on a happy face and don't let this fucker see how much you hate him" vibes? I have to go meet with a prof that have a true, passionate hatred for to talk about my essay. I also just noticed that he has said that it's impossible to have an essay "stand" on just four or five references. Actually, fucker, it is possible. In fact, most of my profs require that we don't reference at all because they want to hear our opinion and not the opinion of some scholar.

[sassygrrl]

Kittenb, be nice I guess. Sounds like Thanksgiving should be interesting to say the least! Yay for being done with the semester!

We finally got Bailey home yesterday. I've never seen Mcgeek so upset. We ended up buying a Wii game to blow shit up(it's the Lego Batman one but it's cute) because I was so scared the poor dog was going to die. I wasn't used to having him there an extra day in the hospital. He'd been there since last Weds. I know it's just a dog but we were very worried. He seems better now. They put him on yet another drug (another diaretic). That dog is on six drugs!

I was going to go see Al Gore speak tonight (he's hawking his latest book), but I'm too damn tired. We had to take two 3-4 hour trips to Athens this past weekend and I'm just exhausted. Thanks so much for all the busty vibes. They helped.

CH, good news about the car!

I'm looking forward to having Thanksgiving family free. Mcgeek and I and the animal house.

Anti-kvetch: off to watch Glee.

[kittenb]

So I'm an aunt now. My step-sis delivered a healthy 6+ lb. baby boy this morning. I think she named him Connor. I guess it is time for me to stop being in denial that she is pregnant, huh? I have to say, The Geek is getting less and less excited about visiting my family for Thanksgiving but he is just going to have to deal. I need him there! I am also glad that she delivered before Thanksgiving so I can see the baby while I am home w/o having to make a special trip. She is living with her mothers at the moment, as is her sperminating idiot. I swear, if I ever knew his name, I think I blocked it out. I'm going to have to remember before I go home. I just know what to expect, some 18 y/o who slouches into oversized clothes and grunts more than speaks. Yay. My mom keeps telling me to be nice. I promise to try.

In other news, I am almost done with my semester! I have a 6-8 page final paper to write today. It is all reflection so I think it will be quick to get down once I care enough to start writing it.

Sassy - What is the latest on Bailey?

Culturehandy - Lets hear it for simply solved car problems!

Hello Coffeebean!

[coffeebean]

culture....sorry to hear about the car. I am glad that everything turned out though. It sucks when cars are a necessary part of life but such a money grab. Thanks goodness for extended warranties Your weekend sounds wonderful safe the car stuff.

(((culture)))

[culturehandy]

Naaaa Sassy. it's jut quiet in here.

I do feel the same in okayland.

How's Bailey?? (((((sassy)))))

Hey Coffee!! (((((coffee))))

As always, I don't have a whole lot going on. Spent Saturday with PR Boy, sunday with a friend, my car died on Sunday but good news, it's just the battery!!! YAY!

that is all.

[sassygrrl]

I feel like I killed the thread....

[coffeebean]

*coffeebean sticks head in a looks around sheepishly*

wow it is really quiet in here. I guess that could be good or bad. I hope that everyone is well and had a good weekend. I personally caught up with some girlfriends with some much needed good food and girlie movies. It was so much fun! Now back to reality and back to work.

Toodles

[sassygrrl]

Hate to hog thread again.

Kvetch: Not an vet update yet. I'm getting concerned, and got very depressed about putting him down today which lead to thinking about other pets in my life. Ugh!
Kvetch: Due to Kvetch 1 we have no money.
Kvetch: Wedding stress and PMS

Anti-kvetch: I'm heading out of the house to catch a flick.

(((everyone)))

Undies:: Blue.

[sassygrrl]

Afternoon/Night ladies!

Update: Bailey has heart failure again. We just got an update though, and he's eating/drinking again. He tends to bounce back pretty quickly, and his kidneys look good. Athens was pretty, but I overate and got into a fight with Mcgeek about money. He told me he may have to dip into our wedding money b/c of Bailey. I really don't want to do that, but we may have to. Then we talking about me working again, and then I saw an article on Georgia's shitty unemployment. It ended up with me feeling pretty grumpy the rest of the day. Bleh.
Kvetch: Our lawn guy is being way too loud, and I have a headache right now!
Anti-kvetch: Got the new Michael Buble cd in the mail from my parents!

((kitten))) Mcgeek and I are thinking of getting those new Droid phones for Christmas. My Verizon is about to bite the dust, and I miss not being able to look up directions and such in the car. I love the IPhones, but hate AT&T.
((rv)))
((coffeebean))) Glad you're here!
((ch)) Yay for beating the cold!
((everyone))

[culturehandy]

Good Morning!!!

((((((((sassy)))))))) ~*~*~*~*~*bailey vibes~*~*~*~*~* slurppy licks from Em.

(((((kitten)))))) Did you ever find your phone? May I recommend a crackberry?!? They are GREAT! I loves me my crackberry.

(((((RV)))))

(((((coffeebean)))))) So glad you are contributing!!! I have a love hate relationship with crackbook. There are things I just will not post on crackbook.

(((((kvetchies)))))

there is really not much going on here. Managed to fight off a cold that the fuzz gave me.

[coffeebean]

(((sassy))) I hope that all goes well with the pup!

(((kitten))) sounds like you have had a bad week. Perhaps some rest and relaxation is just what you need. Will you be able to take some time for you this coming weekend. It is thanksgiving right? An extra day off sounds like it is much needed.

My mantra for this week: Thesis, thesis, thesis! Gah. It is such a bummer to have to buckle down and produce.

I hope that all kvetchies are doing well. I know that I am relatively 'new' here but have been a long time lurker and it definitely seems quiet in here when compared to months past. I know that many of you are on facebook now but I must admit that I'm not on facebook and like the relative anonymity of BUST because I can't share some of things I would share here on facebook with the other women in my life

(((everyone)))

Thanks.

sassygirl - I am so glad to hear that you had fun at your bridal party. Why would your father care about your cell phone minutes?

rv - nice to see you hear again. You do realize, don't you, that you were the last Kvetcher to discover FB so if this thread dies a slow and painful death I am pretty sure it will be all your fault, right? Okay, just checking.

Hello coffeebean!

This week has been ROUGH! I lost my cell phone and learned that my phone company no longer sells my kind of phone. Damn you PALM! Make me fall in love with your product and now make it impossible for me to replace it. And damn you AT&T for giving me a good enough plan that I don't feel like switching to Sprint so I can keep my PALM Centro. You both suck.

[sassygrrl]

(((((RV))))))

Pretty great weekend! Crashed and hung out on Friday, and then had a very good puppy training class on Saturday.

My first bridal party went so successful! I was so worried that none of the bridesmaids/cool chicks would get along.
We had a huge potluck at my house, and got to see some great friends. Mike was there but mainly controlling the dog. We also used it as a training experience to get her socialized around people.

I'll also be working out some feelings about the ex in therapy tonight. Coffeebean, I don't consider you to be harsh b/c perhaps you're right. I'm just trying to sort thru this all.

Small kvetch: Parents. My mother bitching at me about how she hated "Up." I think it caused her to deal with her own age bracket and other things in her life that are beyond her control. I also talked about getting Mcgeek a smart phone(Droid maybe) b/c my father bitched about me using too many minutes. I thought Mcgeek and I could be on the same plan. I believe that this has to do with the wedding, and not the damn smart phone. Whatev. I don't think they want to realize I'm growing up.

Hey gang! Just stopping by to do 2 things.

1. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( all the hugs in the universe x 100 for our Mandikins ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

2. Just wanted y'all to know I'm not dead. The power cord for my netbook has stopped working, so I can't use it until my new cord arrives (hopefully in a few days). On top of that, our internet connection has been flakey, so even during the day when I had access to Sheff's computer, I still can't reliably get on-line! It's not so terrible in the grand scheme of things, but it keeps me out of touch with my beloved Busties. And that makes me unhappy.

(((((((Mucho lovinz for CH, Kitten, Sassy, Ketto, Seven, Sybarite, Futura, Tree, CCGirl, QSpice, and on and on and on!)))))))))

((((welcoming hugs for our newbies - coffeebean, pants, and anyone else I may have missed))))
