I still can't get FS for Express on my laptop in FF or IE. At first, I could on FF. That changed after the update yesterday. I tried clearing cookies, but that didn't help. I was able to place an order with FS on our desktop, but I'm tired of dealing with it. I think I'm going to give up, until I can get FS on my laptop. Having an item go OOS, while I'm trying everything I can to get FS, is getting old. Annoyed


Porda, I agree with azn. That sounds like a cruel way to get rid of her. It sounds like it's really over for him. Is he dating someone else? When something like this happens, there's usually another person involved. If not, they may have a chance at getting back together. For your sake, I hope so. hug

ugh. i tried twice to email vs about that stupid shipping charge. both times were met with the same inane response.

i guess i'll have to call them so they can credit me what they never should have charged me and act like they're doing me a favor. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) this is good -- maybe it will deter me from ordering.

twice. they gave me the exact same response, so i know they copied it from some script.

on the bright side, i happened to check out HL's big shoe sale and found my pumps there. Facepalm now why didn't i check earlier?? the grey was magically still available in my size so i snatched those up. at the HL price + shipping i'm still saving a ton! wish they had black but oh well - i'm happy with grey!

I was having trouble with it too- not on FF, Chrome, nor Safari. Today, it magically worked. Dontknow


Thanks. No, there's no one else. When I spoke to him last, he told me all his excuses and then at the end, he said he was afraid. I think he's afraid that if he moves in with her, he's eliminating the possibility of his teenage fantasies coming true (He seems to have matured, but then hauntings of his teen years come back - he wanted to be a professional baseball player that dates a porn star Annoyed ), but also that he won't be free to move "wherever he needs to for his dream job" (which he never pursued anyway, but she always encouraged). He recently started seeing grief counselor (his mentor at work passed away) and that has evolved into semi-regular therapy sessions, so hopefully they can help him sort his feelings out and show him his actions are irrational and expectations of grandeur - unreasonable. She has said to me that irregardless of what happens b/w her and my bro, she has no intentions of giving DH or I up, that we are just too much fun Smilie She was here last weekend and we had such a great time bounce Now if only it wouldn't be weird to continue to have her at family gatherings laugh out loud

This is what I'm thinking. Growing up, we were taught to push other's most painful buttons to get the focus off of ourselves. I'm going to have to behave this weekend though. We were never as close as we are now. We've also got other fish to fry. My younger bro will be flying in and he's undergoing his own breakdown. Ayeyeyeee.... Too much at once I tell ya'. Facepalm

After looking at photos of the tote on ebay, it looks really nice! Padded handles... Whee
Why haven't you gotten a getaway bag yet?! Bonk

Well, I sure hope things get sorted out with both your brothers. I think it seems older brother just needs to grow up. I mean, MUST he move in with her? Maybe he's afraid of being free to do whatever he wants and doesn't need to answer to anyone - yet. I actually love that DBF and I live so far away. I don't feel like I always need to tell him I'm going out in advance. Sometimes I really forget and I just quickly mention it to him, vice versa and that feels nice nod I usually only tell him in advance if it impacts our nightly chat time nod I kinda like that freedom, so maybe your brother thinks his wings will be clipped? Dontknow

Anyway, I hope he sorts his feelings out with therapy. Maybe that will help him deal with the larger issue that is plaguing him - tendency to push people away because of some other issue.

laugh out loud i still forget to tell DH sometimes. Shutup he makes fun of me about it, but i don't think he's hurt when i forget. i would probably be upset tho, so it really just depends on the person.

my limited order shipped and they spread the tier across all the items, including clearance. Sadwalk good thing is it made my clearance shirt cheaper. laugh out loud sadly, i may even keep everything in the order bc i kinda like everything. shake head i ordered these tops:


plus reordered my bag and a couple of bags and a cami.

in other news, i wore the teal herringbone jacket today over a black dress, and a coworker asked if i was going on an interview. Facepalm this is how informal most ppl are in my office. shake head

i love the jacket tho. kurpee you are right - my lace one is narrower than the teal if i hold them up to each other. but the teal def feels more snug.

Whenever you guys say teal, I keep thinking the jacket is teal colored!!

Is this the matching skirt [express.com]?

Messed Up I ordered one last night - you know, when you were all supposed to be double dipping in the SRC pot?! laugh out loud

Thanks. Well, she just asked if he could see himself EVER moving in with her. No timeline or anything, just if he could even envision that next step. He basically lives at her house a few days a week and she at his apt (complete w/ Target futon that has a "PUT A RUBBER ON IT" sticker on the arm Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) ). I do think that what you bring up is some of it- that he would be giving up his independence or that it would put her in a position of control (ah yes...control issues, another mommy-ism). The role reversal must also be intimidating - she owns a house and makes 2x what he makes. OTOH, how many GF's would say to their BF, "You want to work at a radio station? Do it, give it a shot. You want to work in sports, whatever you want to pursue, do what makes you happy. In fact, if you have to take an unpaid internship to get in the door at your dream job, you can live at my house to save money while you figure it out." .

I totally get the feeling of 'having to answer to someone' b/c I feel that difference when DH is away for work or at home. "Oh yeah, it's 8pm and I haven't eaten dinner yet, which means DH hasn't eaten yet and he's probably wondering where I am" TeeheeProbably best for me, you can see I can't even seem to keep myself fed.

It is teal-colored (well black with teal thread woven in). That is the matching skirt in style (but not color)

so strange that the skirt shows up in stock in clearance pricing but without the extra 50% off.

the matching skirt was similar but in 'teal herringbone'. it IS teal colored, but it's a herringbone so it looks very dark.
