Opinions Needed

Dawn-Moderator's picture

My Ss is just about a month away from turning 23.  He has graduated from college, has a job(granted, it is an entry level job in his field but still a job), lives in an apartment in the next state over with his girlfriend, yet we are still paying for his cell phone and his car insurance.  I also have him on my AAA account.

I think that it is time for him to start paying all of his bills.  Dh thinks that I am just looking for something to complain about and pick on Ss.  He says he has more important things to worry about.

OT: We Had To Let Our Fur Baby Go Yesterday

She got pneumonia and she fought the good fight but she just couldn't beat it. She was hooked up to an oxygen machine to help her breathe and it was still a struggle. She also had more seizures.

It was the hardest thing we ever had to do. 

Today everything I do or see reminds me of her.

I am heartbroken......

Changes to Private Messages

You've spoken, we've listened!  We've opened up private messages to allow any user to send any other user a private message.  However, we've also added the ability for a user to choose to only allow private messages from only their friends, if they wish.  We've also brought back the ability to block individual users from sending you private messages.

OT-My 15.5 yr old puppy had a seizure this morning

Dawn-Moderator's picture

I am sitting here moderating the site and trying to get a grip on myself. Even though she is 15, she is still my baby. She seems to be ok now, although I still need to get her to eat.

I think one of these days, she won't be able to recover. That is a hard pill for me to swallow.

I have a meeting in an hour and I will have to leave her for a bit. Hopefully I can put myself together after the ugly crying!!!

Blocking Private Messages

Users can block unwanted private messages by going to their user page, clicking the edit tab and scrolling to the bottom.

Click on the relationships only option and only users on your friends list can send you a private message.

Site admin will still be able to send you messages as well.

Make sure you click "save" after you make the change.

FYI

Ss has lost his scholarship!!

Ss18 got a full tuition scholarship. He had to keep a 3.5 GPA. The first semester he told us he was getting A's. I was happy because I didn't have to deal with his lazy, video game playing, sleeping all day, ass!! We also had zero contact with Bm. Yay!! All was right with the world!!

Then he joined a fraternity. I was against it. Stepson is easily distracted and I knew his school work would suffer. I was over ruled. Dh didn't protest much, even though he had reservations too.

Treatment of Moderators

The moderators on this site are volunteers. They put in their own time and effort to help keep this site running. Disrespectful treatment of our moderators WILL NOT be tolerated. If you don't agree with something, then you can address it in a private message, in a respectful manner.

I applaud the moderators of this site!!!! Thanks!!!!!
