Hola my peeps! I am still recovering from Thanksgiving, spent the last couple of days doing nothing at all so I am well on the road to recovery. I have completed the lion's share of my Christmas shopping and will now devote the upcoming weeks to buying presents for myself. I bought a new rug for my living room and am giving the whole room a refresh--new throw pillow covers, new throw blankets, and am debating what color to repaint the coffee table. (light green? darker green? light blue?). My living room is celery green with white woodwork.  Here is the new rug: https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/langley-street-jahiem-hand-tufted-woolcotton-navy-area-rug-w007879682.html?piid=420442230  Suggestions welcome! 

@Auntie Anxiety sorry you're not feeling well! Wrap up warmly in your heated blanket and sleep some more! I hope you have lots of tea and snacks! 

How's everyone's weekend been? 

Ooh I like the rug! It's a lot of color, so I might do the table in a nice neutral white or cream. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Anyone have any anecdotes? Any great shopping scores? Any T Day family drama?

Geez, he can't come up with $400? Even I could scare that up, and I'm poor. 

Oh is that it? I thought it was thousands but I must have blanked ouf

What’s the return policy on Ghanaian brides?

Pay the bride price and get on the next flight?

Thank you, everyone here has been so kind. It’s hard but the distraction helps. Get this though…I had a total meltdown because the bank somehow also declared my brother dead, froze his accounts and called…it was a mistake ( how though?)but not a phone call I needed. The bank also won’t allow me to pay her bills even though I am beneficiary so will probably go into debt doing all that until this is settled ….i called  a lawyer. Banks are the worst.

Thank heavens my mother had all her affairs in order because she added me to all her accounts several years before she died so I was able to pay all her expenses after she died until the estate was settled. I was so happy she trusted me with her money.

It was 4,700 in Ghana money.

I got a gigantic spider plant with about 40 attached baby plants for $20 at Home Depot! He's curly, too!

If your mother’s name is still on a bank account with funds available the bank can debit the account to pay any bills in her name. I worked in a bank for 35 years and did this many times. I would start with the branch manager and if you don’t get an explanation I would contact the ombudsman for the bank. Every Canadian bank has one and the branch has to give you the contact information if requested.

I've been watching The Penguin on HBO. Worth watching even if you care nothing about Batman  (who isn't in it). It's more like The Sopranos.

I agree with the cream idea and I do really like the rug as well!

Thank you! I'm pretty maximalist, so a big color enthusiast. The other big pieces in the living room are off white, so I'm leaning in to a color for that reason. The couch is usually slipcovered in off white also. The coffee table is really large and its white now. Its ancient, I got it at Conran's in the eighties, but I love it. Its been painted about 10 times already!

[Red Bridey]

Oh God, Vanja says "my person" just like Corona. How frigging annoying. And yes, you are terrible at picking men if you believe it's love every time someone texts you a 😘😍 emoji. Grow up. 

[MagicEyes]

I'd hate to see Vanja after a real breakup. She's a mess, and she never even had an in-person relationship with Bozo. 

[Gobi]

What does a girl have to do to get laid in Croatia?

[magemaud]

Talking about random requests. I just got this text a few minutes ago:

“My friend said you're a gentleman, so I sent you a message, hoping we could get to know each other.”

My anecdote. My grandson was here over Thanksgiving. We overheard him singing in bed “The itsy bitsy Spider Man up the water spout.” 
 

[Eldemarge]

Anecdote:  My younger son finally got a job!  He's out of the military and 22.  Got accepted to university and now has a part-time job doing IT.  I'm so relieved. 

And my older son is moving out at the end of the month, to live with his girlfriend.  I am sad!  But he's 25 and they've been together two years and she is graduating college, so I get it.

That makes it easier. We paid all her bills for her when her mobility went downhill and have access to all her accounts as she gave us all her info and passwords but because we aren’t technically joint we can’t touch it until  probate which will be about a year. We need to pay her property taxes etc. I want my mom back but the reality is that I just want to settle her finances. 

[tvrox]

Ugh Loren. You're going to get a better job once you're married? SURE. It's far more likely that he will get Gnorrhea several more times.

Thank you! I'll have to post a picture of the room so all my design consultants can see! I love lots of color and the Big Cozy.

Thank you! They told us no and it had to go to the estate lawyers…I don’t want to take her money for a friggen vacation. I just want to pay her bills and she has more than enough there.

Woah, for a moment there  I thought that bingo hall footage was in Croatia.

I do hope Vanja does some activities and enjoys her stay there. She might even meet up with one of Bozo's eager friends...

I don’t care about the money I want my mom back but she left us money to wrap up her finances and we can’t because the bank is being a jerk…even the lawyer said this is insane 

I am so sorry. You have been going  and are going through so much. Please remember you're getting lots of hugs from everyone here, if that helps.  I'm glad you have a lawyer on your team.

“How many WOMEN did you sleep?” Trick question! They weren’t all women!

Something tells me that Vanja is the kind of person who simply cannot enjoy her own company. She can't have "fun" unless she's hanging on to some dude's arm.

And you can be sure he's not telling her about the men.

[tvrox]

Loren, if you have to think about it, you have slept with too many people.

In the U.S., survivors can petition the probate court to order funds released for necessary bills. Perhaps Canada allows something similar?

That's great! You have done well. 

Joey: My puzzler hurts. Questions hard. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Jill looks like she was rode hard and out away wet…just like Joey. 

[magemaud]

Surprise! Ex GF Jill accompanied Joey to Poland because he was afraid to fly alone! 

[Pepper Mostly]

Pepper's rule: Never, ever, put your trust in someone who asks "Do you trust me?" Joey is oozing sleaze. 

"Jill is a.....really really good friend of mine. A REALLY good friend, if you know what I mean." 

[Gobi]

She might be upset. Asshat.

I wonder that sometimes, but maybe I'm just too weird. 

Nothing wrong with that! Me too. Weirdos unite! Better weird then being with Loren right? 

Oh God this guy Joe should not have kids. With anyone. He is a kid. 

[HorrrGoodnight]

Something just dripped on him....was Loren there?

Edited Monday at 02:19 AM by HorrrGoodnight

[Red Bridey]

Oh boy, these two look like Love's Sweet Dream, don't they?

[Gobi]

She should take what he says with a grain of salt. Hey, there's plenty available!

[magemaud]

Magda has salt poisoning!

Wowza, what a find! You're on a roll!

[sainte-chapelle]

I don’t get this couple..Magda seems reasonably intelligent…why?

[Bees52]

I'm just waiting on Faith's reaction when he tells (or reminds her) that he wants an open relationship, and has been living like she knows this, the entire time.

 

Magda,  you sure you really trust Joey? 

Wait, why is she feeling sick all of a sudden...

[HorrrGoodnight]

A headache! That's the ticket.

[Gobi]

"I'll do anything I can to make her feel better. I think sex would help a lot."

[magemaud]

Magda, the migraine is a sign from the heavens 

[Pepper Mostly]

Crude, but effective. I mean, anything more subtle would be lost on poor dim Joey.

[Red Bridey]

Spending any amount of time with Joe would give any normal woman a migraine.

I imagine her waking up to a dick on the face

She just realized that she's stuck with that lummox Joey for the next two weeks and was overcome with nausea.

Or he could trip on that swanky Japanese kimono and fall into her vagina. I mean, that could happen to anyone.

What is Ari’s evidence? A photograph of him talking to a girl at his job?
