Where would you go for a week away in the summer?
We will be driving, and we are open to camping (Tent trailer).

I got nothing...which sucks
I have done two jobs this year, and I didn't even get acknowledged yest. I am here(knock on wood)pretty much everyday, and work my [censored] off. Yeah I get paid...but when I look around my office. All the guys I work with get free crap/taken out to lunch/days off (paid) to golf etc and I get none of that...they created yest. so people like me can feel like they are appreciated. I can tell you today, I don't feel appreciated. Here I am again, covering for the receptionist (who was just hired) who is sick today....I can't get my work done because one of the guys needed her to do something and have it finished today!
I am not asking for a gift etc All I was asking for is a thank you for all my hard work!

Our Trailer: Bought used a couple years ago.
It came with NOTHING, but we love it. We were watching weight as we pulled it with our oldsmobile.
It has two beds on each side, and the table can make into a bed as well. Storage underneath both seats of the table. There is also a tiny fridge/Sink (That is a pain to use) with a tiny cabinet beside and underneath fridge/sink. So not much storage.
We used rubbermaid bins, and found it hard to always get in and out of them. Plus they took up the space of one of the beds. We then got the ones with drawers, it was a little easier...but it takes up all the space on the counters. Since we are only a family of two, this works for us for a weekend away...but I am still looking for storage ideas.

Help...
What are your go to snacks for work?
I got the normal ones:
Trail Mix
Hard Boiled Eggs
Fruits/veggies
Dried fruits/raisins
DH can only bring cold lunches and he's getting bored of the sandwiches/salad combo. I know granola bars are something else, but I hear they are not the greatest "healthy" snack!

We had a new receptionist start today....I already feel like we are going to clash. BIG TIME
She's already fixed my hair....she did not like how it was sitting.
She ate at her desk. We all normally eat together, unless someone is not here. We have a small office.
She's complained about her full garbage. Organized her desk, and is getting way ahead of her self. Not a bad thing, but we do not want her to get overwhelmed!
She has mentioned several times how anal she is. Etc Etc I am anal as well, but WOW!
She gave me a headache from her perfume.
This is just the small list of things, and I find myself getting VERY frusturated. My hormone levels right now are hard to control!
I am the one training her.....and at one point she gave me attitude. I had to show her something, I asked her if she was in the middle of doing something....and just the way she talked back...I did not like.
I LOVE my job. I have been here for four years. We are like a small family. but she just gives me a bad feeling!
I am not sure what to do!

I have no idea about my periods before the pill. I was not having sex, so they came when they came. If I think really hard they were not normal before the pill as per the standards.
I went off the pill after having some issues, they later determined I had Endo. 1 year after going off the pill. So in that year, I had 4 AF's. 3 of those were in the following months after stoping BCP, they were somewhat regular. The next one was right before/after I saw the gyno for the endo issues. I think I had a 70 day cycle, then AF and that's when they stopped. ^ months later I had the lap and AF showed after words.......It has not been regular since before the surgery. It was later determined a year after surgery I had PCOS (which I suspected)
I am still not frigin pregnant
I O'd once on the clomid, but it seems my body does not want to do the same this go around.
I suspect your probably not O'ing.

I have a few stories, I am a believer; I like to believe in things like this.....I like to believe my Dad is watching!
My niece was born more then a decade after my dad passed. She sees him. She also sees my Nana who passed away just before her 3rd birthday. Just recently she has been seeing someone else, we are thinking it's my Papa who was not fully crossed over yet. As she has not had anymore issues in a few weeks.
I like to ask questions..but my mom, SD, sister hate when I do it.
A few years back when my niece was about 3.5. She had a visitor. It was a friend of my SD, who had passed about a year prior. My niece did not know this friend. He had a message to pass on to his son, as his son was having a difficult time making a decision. He must of instructed her to go out and tell my mom/SD right away....it was very cool

Do not think of it as a needle, cause to me it looks nothing like an actual needle.
It's a thin straight silver thing that gives you a little poke. A pinch hurts more!
Do not even think about it anymore, just go and do it NOW. We know you can. The longer you wait, and the more calls you make(post on here) trying to find some support is going to make this worse on you. Just go and do it.
Seriously it is a little pinch.

I am shy and timid...like A&A. I would prefer to stay home then meet new people, or feel uncomfortable. There is a few reasons as to why I have no friends, and I really wish this wasn't the case.
I said I would attend a few GTG's before I actually attended one....I was knowen as the Polkaroo.
My first WB GTG was at a passion party....search it if you don't know what it is! It took a ton of courage to attend, and I kind of sat in my own corner taking everything in...
My second we met at a tea shop...Steeps. Again I did not say much. I was scared to jump in to conversation.
It did not feel like meeting strangers, yeah I was nervous and I am very much like you OP but I did it. I'll do it again! It made me feel great afterwords, it built up some confidence in me...
I probably would do a s/o if I was stuck somewhere by myself, but only on WB.

I would let the lady know your scared of needles when you check in, I would not wait until your taken back into the room. I also would make an apt, so your not having to sit and wait for your turn.
When your taken back, do not look around. Stare directly at your DH and or the nurses back.
Do not look at the room when your in there, find and concentrate on one spot. Well having a conversation with someone.
Make sure they have everything in the room ready, before bringing you back. (recently, things have changed at the place I go for blood. It takes a couple mins before they start because they have to enter the req. and my health # into the computer, as well as print of lables)
Use a butterfly needle and you will not feel the poke as much. The only thing you should feel is a little poke. It feels like a little sting....I have never been stung by a bee, but I heard it hurts more to be stung by a bee then this.
If you have to fast, book an apt for early morning! and have a snack/juice for right after.
You should hopefully be in and out in 10 mins, 30 sec of that or less is all it takes to insert the needle and get the blood (if you have good viens/nurse)

I think I am coming to the decision to go short and chop off all the dead hair...I think that's the best route anyways since the long parts have a ton of split ends. Now I just need to get idea's....
P.s. I got my hair done two months before the wedding, and it was like 1.5 years before that. So don't feel bad (I can not remember the poster) for not getting your hair cut often!

Having seen this twice, I am a firm believer they can still hear you. So IMPO, I would go visit her in the hospital.
My grandma passed away a few years ago now...but when she was in the hospital; on her last day a few of us were sitting in her room visiting. It was just a few of us cousins, when the doctor walked in and commented about my grandma's large family. One of my cousins mentioned this wasn't even a 1/4 of us, and my grandma laughed and smiled when the doctor said something funny directly to her.
My grandpa passed away this past Nov. The friday before he passed (he passed early sat) I sat at the hospital all.day.long. He was able to tell us stuff up until his medication was being administered every .5 hour. He wanted a chocolate milk shake as his last treat, I got him one. At one point he even asked, do the doctors think I am supposed to pass away? So I basically took care of him in his last moments. It was just me and my aunt through out the night, (we were waiting for the end as it was near) but you know what he waited, he waited until I actually left. He passed a few mins after I left the parking lot!
Yes these are just my beliefs, but I wanted to share my stories so you can make your decision. I do not want you to have any regrets!

You would want to fly to Calgary.
It's about a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from Calgary to drum. You would only need a couple hours for the museum. There is also a water park/the largest dino that they can stop at, and climb. As well there is a reptile museum in town by main street. This would be a great day for your little guy!
I would fly into calgary, stay the day/night here(depending what time you get in you could do lots, but I wouldn't want to travel after a 3hr flight).....Then drive out to drum early the next day. I would spend the entire day in Drum, spend the night; then head back to Calgary early the next day. If you get in early enough I would hit either the zoo or science centre. (they have a dino park at the zoo, which is pretty cool)
ETA: I didn't look at the date your planning to come, so the water parks might be out!
