I think they have my points messed up, they have me 100 less than it should be, grumble. I hate call the CC, it is like they don't know what to do.

I just lost an Express coupon on a purchase that was cancelled. The order was for 1 tank & they cancelled it immediately. Annoyed

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I was having trouble with it too- not on FF, Chrome, nor Safari. Today, it magically worked. :don tknow:


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 :annoye d: ), 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 : ) She was here last weekend and we had such a great time :bo unce: Now if only it wouldn't be weird to continue to have her at family gatherings :l ol:
My desktop is working for FS again. Neither FF nor IE will work on my laptop. I'm not loading another program just to try for FS.

The fact that he isn't seeing anyone could help. It would probably be best for his ex to avoid him completely, while he works through his issues. I know that's hard to do, but he may say some things that she'll always resent. If they do want to work it out, the less said in anger the better. Sorry, you're in the middle. That's never a good place to be. hug

Quote from nerdicus :
:lo l: i still forget to tell DH sometimes. :shut up: 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.
I still can't get used to you having a DH. It still seems odd to see you post that instead of DBF. Teehee

Quote from nerdicus :
from coupons thread:
POOLSIDE - Free shipping with swim purchase (exp March 3, 2013)
Thanks

Quote from nerdicus :
Fs stopped working in safari on the iPad. I can only get it going on ff now. Why does it keep changing?
It looks like the shipping problem caused me to miss a top I've been stalking forever. Mad It took awhile to place the order on the desktop, & I ended up getting a cancellation email. Losing my coupon makes it even worse. Ranting

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I :hea rt: the studded Kors wedges I bought last week. They're so cute and not that uncomfy :teehe e:.
I love that you choose shoes based on which ones are just a little uncomfortable. laugh out loud

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
$75 sedu iron too. it's the 1 in though. i'm sure a code will work on it too.

ulta has $7 urban decay travel sprays and $10 butter london lip and nail polish duos today.
Thanks

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Here's the lace 2 in 1 [express.com]. I received it earlier this week. It's not as bad as the one with the red top. Still makes my curves look dramatic. I think the red is made bigger or someone stretched it out since I found it in-store.



what do yall think?
Curves are sexy. I think it looks great on you.

Quote from kurips :
i wasn't planning to layer :tee hee: i think i'd wear it. bridesmaids wear strapless and short dresses in church. i should take advantage of rare opportunities i can dress up. last time i could've dressed up, i was a fat pregnant woman.
If you feel self-conscience in the church, you could always carry a black shawl to only wear inside. The dressier of the black short sleeve coverups we all bought last year would work too. Both would fit in a purse or diaper bag, when not in the church.

Quote from nerdicus :

i'm annoyed that i can't find cognac boots on sale in my size. it's always the 5s and 6s or 9s and 10s. : ( there's so many on sale everywhere but sold out in my size! grrrr.
Good deal in size 5 boots?!? Please share, if you see any more. Please

Quote from longislandgirl :
Wave

I got VS order with cute weekender bag, I used free shipping and returns code with bra, weekender and and tier code and VS still charged me shipping Mad The email confirmation I got for that order was showing free shipping. Will calling VS solve this problem? I have not called VS in like 2 years now Stress

Porda, I got your PM about funeral dressing and etiquettes and replied to it too. Did you not get my reply? Scratchchin

Thanks GH and Stardust for those soothing words hug I am alright. occasionally the stories that DH share about his boss now and then breaks my heart. His boss is back to work for half day now so I hope things are slowly getting into routine and easier for him and his daughter.

If I forgot to mention anyone its just because lately I can't keep up with this thread. What deal on Express I am missing now? Confused3
this happened to me too. when i called them last night they said they don't see the code on their end. seems like their system is kicking out codes randomly for no apparent reason. they will fix it for you, but you will probably need to call. i tried twice by email and they didn't even answer my question. shake head

express - FS on 125 is standard every day now. also, coupons appear to work on clearance for the time being which is awesome if anything ever comes BIS. unfortunately it's harder to catch the clearance items in stock when you're trying to get enough to get FS. which is why you need a next cc! (also, they seem to have fixed my points issue -- but that doesn't really concern you. Stick Out Tongue )

be careful if you return stuff from that order. i returned something and they deducted the "reimbursed" cost of the shipping. Then I had to contact them again to tell them they owe me that $..cause it wasnt a discount for the items purchased, but a s&h charge they got wrong

i know. i'm not used to it either... but it's easier to call him DH than it is to call him "husband". Teehee

i really like the looks of these [6pm.com] but they're only available in 5-6.5. (taupe and medium brown avail in 5) i've been looking for cognac riding boots forever! Frown i haven't tried them yet tho so i don't know if they're comfortable, but i usually have good luck with comfort with nine west shoes.

I'm glad you're doing better Comfort I did not get your reply! Sorry about the weekender shipping snafu, Aznflame just fixed that by calling in. They must be familiar with the problem now so it should be easier.
Quote from ayaspiralout :
good deal on the Butter London! Hey everyone. I sold bright teal eyeliner to an elderly woman yesterday after trying it on her, how cool is that? Teehee
Awesome! You could probably pair the more adventurous color purchases with MU remover. "...because teal doesn't go with every outfit, let's make sure it comes off at the end of the day" laugh out loud

I think it looks fantastic. I had the same opinion when I saw it on K. I think it must work for a lot of us Whee

Bummer about FS. I'm not sure if mine is working today. I can't see order details for anything before 2/27 even Messed Up

Yeah, I keep telling her not to call, to call me instead if she needs to. It's not as hard as I thought to be in the middle. I get to hear from both sides and have a better understanding of each of them and their relationship. The only problem is that you can't "unhear" things and when you want to tell your bro what a jerkface he is or her that he's not worth it, you really can't Shutup

nod scandalous for me too. Just wore the tulip black/blue leopard dress out last night and even with nylons, told DH "LMK if you see any naughtybits peeking out" Tongue I think I'm much more comfortable in skirt/top combos.

Yours jumps around so much! I think you're right about the account being screwy.

the shift dress in xs
i like it for the very same reason nerdi didn't like it. i have narrow shoulders and this works as true boatneck for me. i like the look on me at the top and arms. at the bottom, i'm not sure - it's a little big and i'm unsure about the gold. my life outside the house happens during the day, and the gold, while not very shiny, could be too much. this was the only color option at first. bought for $26-28.

i used my own belt because the elastic one provided is way too small. i believe the blue does not come with belt and loops anymore. if i keep this, i might have to cut the loops because they look weird if i wear without belt.

psa: red's alpaca sweater bis in grey, xs. with tier code it's a great deal! i like it enough to keep for $10. (there were 8 left when i ordered)

did you get tulip dress in xs? the s is not that scandalous in length for me, but i think i may need xs to not have that weird pocket of emptiness the excess fabric creates.

are they the same cut? the blue did not have a belt or loop holes. that white/gold one didn't even appeal to me when i saw it! possibly bc they paired it with a belt. looks great on you! lucky that your shoulders worked in it. Teehee that means the blue will work for you too! i like that color combo better. you're right about the gold - it could be too much during the day.

*edit* compared with mine - the difference in sleeve length is amazing! it's 3/4 on me (assuming the blue and your white/gold have the same length sleeves). but i think a big part of why sleeves are always short on me is bc of my wide shoulders.
