Title: Vacation
Post by: Amber on December 25, 2005, 10:20:15 PM
heh, I shoulda mentioned before now, but from the 28th until the 1st, I won't be online. Am heading to Illinois for my best friends wedding (first time being a Bridesmaid, I'm so excited). While we're there we'll also be spending new years eve with my in-laws (Terran's parents) and doing the normal rough housing, drinking, and stuff we can manage before returning to our once again hermetic lives sitting at home playing around on the computer, playing video games..or working (blech). Each time we go to Illinois we're reminded of how much we hate living in Des Moines away from our family and friends, so please, bare with the two of us as we get over being depressed as hell at having to come back to this crappy city.
Thank you,
Amber

Mistress,
Not tryin' to intrude... but is there any special reason why you can't move back to Des Moines, where your heart is? ~soft hug~ I had to move heaven and earth to come back home to Delaware to assist my ailing grandparents, and there is such peace in that.
I am very excited for your first-ever bridesmaid gig! *beaming* I know they say "always a bridesmaid, never a bride," but you and I skipped right to the married schtick... I've never been a second-in-command, either. *pout*
Say, does that mean you get to stand behind your cousin with a big sword to make sure no one interferes? Hehehehehe...

It's a long story, dee, but it goes something like this
We have a roommate. If we move out, he has no way to pay the bills for this place or the rent for this place. He has nowhere else to go, he will be homeless, living on the streets. Terran and I...are nice people, we can't do that to him, no matter how much we want to go and live in Illinois to be with family and friends. We just can't. -shrugs- we'll figure out a way eventually to move back.
As for the wedding, naw, no one can interfere..they eloped back in September, so no matter what, they are already married. Though...I maybe should pack a baseball bat/shotgun/short sword just in case! -lol-

So... uh... take your roomie with you! It can be HIS job to pack while you and hubby continue to work through your move date. Your family can find you a suitable house or apartment, and you can send them the security deposit which they will then hand to your new landlord. Then roomie can find a job in Illinois, start his life over, and be self-sufficient. Sometimes moving opens up thriving job markets and wonderful new possibilities!
Not that it'll actually BE that easy... but I know your family would help out in whatever way possible if it meant having you two back home... *hugs*

Family = willing to help us. Family = unwilling to help roommate who has dicked us over since April.
-snickers- besides..I dun wanna live with him forever either, and if we move HIM to Illinois as well, the same obligated feeling will still be there. -sighs- Maybe one day we'll stop being the doormats we tend to be for friends..and just up and move without a word.

~ponders the good will and loving heart of my Mistress for a moment~.....ummmm...not to be too bold, but why not just let it be known at the end of the lease...the roomate is on his own....that should give him time to get his stuff together. granted he may just think that you are bluffing...and not do anything. but there is only so much You and Your Husband can do to help a friend before it is just being taken advantage of.
anyways...try to squeeze some relaxation in while the Two of You are gone~g~and be safe
~leaves tons and tons of snuggle hugs~ Your butterfly
p.s. and if all else fails~grins~...woobie does have a wood chipper Mistress~cracks up and scrams~

so smother or strangulation would make luminol pretty much useless....no blood evidence....
*tosses the chalk and walks away*
Title: Re: Vacation
Post by: Amber on December 28, 2005, 06:29:09 AM
-chuckles- And of course any evidence of the strangulation would be gone in the wood chipper..no bruising..no fibers in the lungs if smothering..and would just have to get rid of the pillow in case saliva or or face flakes get on it -nodslots and scratches head- I should stop talking about this. I'm a freak. -rofl-

Sis, I know what you're going thru as I'm going thru the same problem. In my case, I have a roomate who claims to be my best friend, but then doesn't payme rent for 4 months and uses my vehicles and never helps out with food costs and expects me to buy his beer and to go to the bar with him whenever he's bored. In short, my patience finally expired. We told him that if he doesn't have a FULL month's rent to us by the end of this month (we only ask 300 a month, and that includes EVERYTHING), then he needs to find a new place to stay. Since he's only given us 100 so far, we're getting ready to kick him out. he's had a whole month of warning and enough is enough.
The same goes for you. Give him a time frame. tell him that by X date, if he doesn't have a job, and is paying so much a month to help out, that he obviously is NOT being a friend and that you have no need to help someone who isn't a friend to you. if that means he is out on the streets, so be it because he is taking advantage of you and that is NOT being a good friend. Maybe being kicked out will finally wake him up to the realities of life and he'll stop taking advantage of people. If he thinks you're not serious, make sure that you ARE serious before you give that ultimatum, and if he doesn't do it, stick to your guns and kick him out, no matter what.
I don't know if Donnie has a place lined up for him to go at the end of htis month or not, and frankly? I'm not worrying. He has had his warning, if he thinks we're not serious, and that we won't actually kick him out, he's in for a rude awakening. If he has chosen not to find alternate living accomadation, that is his problem, not mine, and you need to think the same way about your roomate. he is NOT being a friend toyou if he is treating you this way and you need to stop thinking of him as one. Kick his ass out.
*hugs* Kitya

OKay, for those of you who may or may not get extremely WORRIED when a family member goes a traveling. I made it Illinois safe and sound last night about 11:15. And yes..Beau managed to survive with me. It took us longer, cause the three of us went out at Thunder Bay Grille, real nice steak joint. Yum! But anyway, very busy day today..I'm getting my nails done, we decorated the hall, and then we also have the rehearsal dinner tonight as well. Have fun this weekend Family, and stay safe on New Years Eve. Drink at home!
