Have you heard anything from the VA in WV?

No thank GOD. The chick sent out all my references because the two last ones on the list let me know they got them and sent them back. So, like, that means she's probably got plenty because I know some of the other ones will too.... Now, it will just be a wait, and the whole fingerprinting thing and whatnot. After going and getting fingerprinted and bloodwork (they are checking if I am missing any injections an if I am I have to get them at my doctor physical which appears to be a rather minor event honestly. So I let him know that Thurs and Friday and now, like, I just have to chill and see what happens for a bit. Etc. Takes a while to get run through all the data bases and whatnot. I don't expect to hear much for a few weeks if not a bit longer depending on how speedily they do the background check I guess.

    Lazy day here. Still sampling the green banana. It’s another hot one here with no signs of letting up. I don’t care if I go outside today or not.
    Don’t blame you. We have 2 more coolish days to go before the next blast furnace hits.

    It's partly cloudy here and 87 which is cool for this time of year here. The milder temps will continue throughout the week. We aren't expected to hit 90 until next Sunday.

    It’s going to be a hot one Thursday too when they install the new ac and furnace. I’ll be at work but my wife and daughter will be home. I thought about taking the day off but am really better off being at work making money.

    I find myself in the strange position of having spending money. I have designated the $700 to be my spending money and I have so far only spent $26 on Osmall pods. I’m in no big hurry to spend it but the next time I want something I won’t have to wait til I have the cash. I do need a dress for my nieces wedding next month.

    GOOD Afternoon Randoms!

    SIL came over with 2 of the 4 grand kids, woohoo! We (he) took off my K&N air filter and it was very dirty so we (he) cleaned it, washed it and oiled it and put it back on. Should make a big difference.
    Hoping so.

    Forget the dang weather! Well, don't I totally sympathize.

    I am going to kill the husband. He has never been closer to a good poisoning until now. I mean, I'm not going to POISON him to death, but a good nutmegging might be in his future. I could get it done. Plenty of capsules I could empty out and fill with nutmeg powder. OMG this man can take my hard work and SUCK IT.

    So, I went into the "box" area, and like, started looking in boxes. The first one I found was like one of 4 boxes of my brother's ex girlfriend's pottery. She is an incredible potter and like, my brother was going to THROW IT ALL OUT (he was done with the self-flagellation he said.)

    I was like, "Uh, dude, why don't you give it to me." I mean when he broke up with the ex it was the REAL tool days for my little brother, and I actually told him, "I can NOT believe you dumped her, OMG, I actually like her better than you!" LOL it was true at this point in time. My mom said I "hurt his feelings" and made me apologize and retract the statement. I did it but I was lying. So when he was like "I am gonna get rid of it," I took it. This was a long time ago and we still have it, because I had a feeling at some point a) she might become a potter full time. So THIIS cull (I am being ruthless) I said to the husband, "Okay, I think it is time to let these go." So then he was like, "You should try to find her... .famous...etc." I was like, "OMG." But, I DID it. She's a moderately well know potter and a cup from her is worth about 60 bucks. She also looks really happy which is nice to see.

    So then the husband was like, "We have to keep it now.. Maybe we will SELL it or sell it back to her." I gave him a VERY GRAVE look at that point and said, "No, we would GIVE It back to her, you tool. Are you sane?" Anyway, so we are keeping the pottery but I plan to use it now, not just cart it around. So, those boxes stay.

    Then, I carefully with a knife opened a box named "Knick knacks." I carefully lifted out what looked like a wedding photo. The husband started like FREAKING OUT and going on about how I was going to unpack everything and how HE would have to repack it. He was really having a fit. I was like, "Dude, it makes no sense for me to pack everything carefully because you have to go through it TOO so like it would BE MADNESS I mean I already see how you have been with the dang BOOKS, I'm sorry, but I LITERALLY cannot do what you are asking unless you don't care what I remove and what stays. (WHICH HE TOTALLY DOES CARE DICTIONARY QUEEN.) I was like, "When there are large holes in boxes because I throw stuff away like, they have to be repacked ANYWAY I have been LABORING at this for DAYS and have gotten NOTHING but abuse. You ask me to lighten the load and you ACT like THIS." Then he stated yelling about how I destroyed the box and I just was terrible and I was like "Listen, "Censored" I VERY CAREFULLY and NEATLY opened the box, cutting ONLY the tape, which I have been DOING.." Then I was like, "I am not doing this. This is not happening. I am not putting up with it. If you want to do it together, fine, but ALL YOU have been doing while I have been gathering and consolidating MY crap, is playing video games. I hate you. Take it all to the dump or put it in a truck. I am DONE HERE,"

    Then, he tried to apologize. Several times. He got super mad because I was like, "You have been doing this for DAYS. I am FURIOUS. I am not ready for your apology until you can change your actions." So then he YELLED his apology and I was like, "That is not making me feel ONE bit more like accepting your apology, in fact it is making things worse. I am still furious, I am STILL not ready to talk about it, go AWAY." Then he said he was "tiring for hours." and I was like, ":Oh, poor YOU hours, eh? You have been yelling at me, criticizing me, and ARGUING with me about stuff, and what stuff can stay and go and you have been insulting the whole TIME. So you can just suck it up.'

    I would so give him a good nutmegging ,but I don't know what it would do to his BRAIN quite. Otherwise, he would so be poisoned right now. I told him he could either do it himself for learn to SHUT up and if he WANTED something to get it out of the goodwill boxes and leave me alone with his insanity.

    I swear.... I'm doing yoga in an hour I NEED to. I wonder if I toss an empty shampoo bottle, I will get yelled at.

    Holy Christ. This is how the husband is about stuff, though ,he finds it impossible to say "That is from the PAST." Oy.

    Holy crud though, if his mind were less weak, he would be taking a very interesting journey o f self discovery in an unpleasant manner.

    Yeah ,I can't do that but there are DAYS and this is one of them.

    GOD.

    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    The ejuicesteals "enjoyfreeshipping" code worked for me just now. I got another 710 ml of premade juice for $8.93. :banana: I am most excited that I snagged the last bottle of the dinner lady rice pudding. I've been wanting to try that one for a while. Thanks for the heads up @JCinFLA !

    I am behind in recording my last 4 or 5 orders for vape gear and I just decided I'm not keeping up with it any longer. It was fun during the stocking up thread...but I am so over it and do not have the time. :thumbs: (I've spent too much but it being for a lifetime not too shabby compared to the price of cigs)

    I realized my adblocker is causing all sorts of problems...mainly with my flash player while trying to generate a virtual credit card number so I had to remove it. Thank goodness for generation z! My son had to do it all. :D I'm no dummy...but I do not like computers (when they don't work correctly that is). I'm OK but he's fantastic at it!

    I took today off and when I say off I mean off. I've done nothing but lay on the couch and watch TV. I needed a day like this. But alas, the boy is hungry so I must peel myself up and go make something to eat.

    Correction, that’s my gd’s Upcoming wedding and I did find a dress. Spending money at $597 for the next time I need something. Works for me.

    Ugh. I accepted the husband's apology. We have agreed to a system. For now. We will have to see how it goes.

    This is LITERALLY my last chance to do yoga today. I keep putting it off. NO MORE.

    Anna
    Is a step forward. Now go do yoga.

    Thank you for this! I remember her telling me about y’all mixing together at your house in Burbank!!
    Yeah it was a hoot. It was her first time mixing. She made two bottles of something and we talked so much by the time we were done, she had one bottle that had twice as much as it should have and one empty bottle. Meaning she put all ingredients in one bottle for two different mixes. We vowed to not talk next time.

    I am going to mix the one that I’m Not Zak said you liked best because of the throat hit!
    I honestly do not remember it. I wish I knew which one I mixed up and liked. So confused now :confused:
    I also wish someone that is very experienced at mixes would chime in on them. Like I know I have heard Fran something a time or two like "too much ingredients for me"
    @FranC, can you tell from looking at the now multiple listings of GBICS which one seems best. I know my OG one I listed had cookie in it and Zaks had biscuit. Zak (Terry) was known to be an experimenter so he probably changed it and I think the place (Pig Daddys) had cookie in it.

    I'm sure that things will improve, of course! I sympathize! Husbands can really be aggravating sometimes!! I don't know how I kept from killing my husband during our last move! Periods of transition are always the most difficult and my husband was a real stinker during that move.

    Good Housekeeping Magazine used to have an award you could nominate your husband for. I think it was called the Heinous Husband Award. I used to threaten my husband with that all the time!!
