I just never think of Amazon, or Half Price or any of those. If I want a book, I go to Barnes and Noble and if I am lucky, it is on sale or I have one of the coupons they email me. Other than that, I am not thrifty minded I guess.
Tami, I'll post pictures, but it will be quite some time before we get engaged, let alone married. But I'm just glad I have something to look forward to with the reception!

I think you ought to call and find out what's going on. If the plan was supposed to be changed, it should be reflected. Although, some changes like that take 24 hours to be reflected in an account. So you might check later today and then call. But don't feel bad about calling. The customer service people are there to serve you on the product.

Lori, Chicago Cubs. We have had this conversation, but it was a really long time ago. Jamie was cheering for the Phillies (I think) and you two were razzing each other about it. I had to jump in.
Tami, Oh, that's right. Zach is a Cards fan, so I'll just let you two fight that one out.
Mod
Tami, It does and it doesn't. We still get into arguments, but I usually win because it's hard to argue with 27 World Championships. But those arguments are not so frequent because they don't play on a regular basis. Although with Houston switching to the AL in 2013, thus causing inter-league play every day of the season, we might argue more.
So I could use a bit of advice. I mentioned in the "I'm so excited!!!" thread that I'd gone on a couple of dates with a friend from the last show I did. No idea where it's going, but I'm not worried about that. I'm happy to wait and see what happens.But what I do need some advice on is Christmas. Since he is in a show right now, he can't go home for Christmas. When I told my parents they immediately told me to invite him to Christmas with my family. My family tends to just adopt anyone who wanders our way and looks lost. I have a few 'relatives' that I keep forgetting that I'm not actually related to. lol.
Anyway, would it seem really forward of me to invite him to Christmas with my family? They'd love having someone new. I'd just be putting up with non-stop teasing from my cousins for the next 6 months or so (I'm the youngest of the cousins, they treat me more like a little sister than a cousin.) But because we've been on a couple of dates, I'm afraid it might be weird...
Opinions?
I would invite him. It sounds like he might not have anywhere else to go, and Christmas is a time to worry about others, right? :) I'm sure he'd appreciate an invitation whether he accepts or not.

She looks like a boy and I have a niece that is totally this little girl Allie. What do you all think about this approach. Also thought it may be helpful for those of you thinking of teaching for a career.
I say invite him, it's always nice to have family for the holidays even if they aren't yours.
Sign that you don't date enough? You invite a guy to celebrate Christmas with your family and when he says yes you start get really really nervous. Especially when you realize that your family is weird. Weirder than most families. At least my cousin doesn't cross dress anymore, that was always hard to explain to people who met him....Christmas may be a bit more stressful this year...
Congrats, Kimberly! Glad he said yes. Things will be fine and will work out if they're meant to be. :)
Kimberly, That's great that he said yes! I think it will be fine. Besides, if you start to date, he's going to meet your family anyway.
Mod
Thanks everyone. :)And yes Tami, all families are weird. But mine is my kind of weird. lol. They really are an amazing bunch of people. :)
I'm not too worried about it now that I've had time to let the shock of the fact that he's coming wear off. I was worried he'd get bored, but I realized that at least a few of my relatives will have something they'll want to talk about with him. Like my uncle. He LOVES Jesus Christ Superstar and has seen the movie countless times. Jeff is in that show right now, WITH Ted Neeley.
Mod
Tami, it's running through the end of the year.
Um, I'm sorry... WHAT. He's in it WITH TED NEELY?? That is nuts. And amazing and incredible. And awesome.
Kelly A, That's really cool that your friends took you along like that!
haha, Tahleen yes it is! He can SING. I was stunned when I heard him sing. He's 68 years old and still hits everyone of those high notes. Plus he's one of the kindest men I've ever met.
That is so awesome. I'm kind of jealous. :)
Mod
You too Kimberly! How did Christmas go???
Thanks Tahleen. :) And you should check out my posts in the 'Happiness' thread. It went very well. :)
Anyone ever date someone that belonged to a religion that your family hated?
Ummm...sort of. My boyfriend whom I'm going to marry in a couple of years is a Catholic. My mom has no problem with the Catholics in general, but she has a big problem with my choosing to convert. Can I be of assistance?
Just worried about Kimberly and her new relationship; sounds like there might be a problem.
I hope someone is able to help her out with advice.
Thanks guys. :)Actually, the problem isn't my family, it's his. I'm a Mormon, and they absolutely hate us. They've only met two people from the LDS church, and one of them, unfortunately, was not a good person, so it soured the family's opinion of the church and it's members.
I'm used to people not liking my religion. I live in Utah and I can't go to any large church related event without having to push through protesters telling me I'm going to Hell. So normally it wouldn't be a big issue to me.
The guy I've been telling you all about asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday, so it was on Facebook ( Facebook official, lol.) He had to send emails and call his mom to forewarn them. His mom is doing okay... And one of his sisters completely flipped when he told her.
I feel bad that he has to deal with that, although he said he doesn't care.
...I'm kinda glad they are all the way in Virgina, otherwise I think they might come at me with pitchforks...
Ugh.
Zach went through that with his ex. They were Calvinists and hated him being Catholic. I think it's one of those situations where you two will have to sit down and discuss how to handle it. If it doesn't bother him, that's obviously good. If he's a good guy (and I'm sure he is), he'll stand up for you if and when his family goes on the offensive. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do about the situation except stay calm and offer to talk to them about your religious beliefs if they want to talk about it.
Thanks, Lori. :) Well his mom and two of his sisters are okay with it enough that they've clicked 'like' on the changed relationship status. lol. We'll just have to wait and see what happens with his other sister.
Geez, good luck Kimberly... If it's meant to be it will happen! :) We're pulling for you!
I JUST PUT THE "N" BACK ON MY LAPTOP!!! Just about fifteen minutes ago I was able to put back my "N", that had popped off my board about a week or two ago, on my laptop. Such daunting task, such an incredible feet!The simple things in Life are what makes us happy!
Thought I might share.
Congrats Paul! I know I'd never be able to figure out how to do that. Good job. I bet life's a lot easier with the letter n, haha.
It took me a couple of readings of the post to understand what you were talking about! Haha. Congrats! I wouldn't be able to do that either.
I feel as if my life is back to whole! I have had my laptop for six years and during the week to two weeks I felt that I had to learn a whole new placement for my thumbs.
I completely understand, I had a laptop that keys kept falling off of and it was such a pain.
I was at my friends house the other day, we were having a movie night while her husband was out with his friends. We were watching BBC's Sherlock, and I was telling her that both the main characters were going to be in The Hobbit. I started to say something about rereading the book, since it had been a couple of years since I read it. And then I stopped talking for a minute when I realized that it hadn't been a couple of years since I read it, I read it when I was 12. It's been more than 10 years! lol. Made me feel a bit old.
