Can we get a little shake shake in here?
ohhh, yeahhh...i reckon we can get a WHOLE lotta shakin' goin' on!!
yay you, wreds!! i am soooo happy for you!! so much is happening
and coming together for you! guess maybe our motivational 
helped just a weee bit..? 
I'm trying so hard to keep believeing that something right for me is coming.
see? believing will take you there... so, don't stop believing, wreds. ever. great things are happening asnd you soooo deserve them.
My friend re-did the whole thing for free.
what a great friend! can we see a pic?
CE went back into hospital yesterday
aww, so sorry about this, as well as the fact she may lose her job. but it doesn't sound as if she can handle it right now, anyway.
you're a good friend to fill in for her. and no worries, you'll kick it, wreds. 
Also how passivity and being walked all over is pretty much learned behavior. My dad's generosity and gentleness has taught me to be the same.
yes, to a degree it is, but your dad does know when and how to be tough, too, and that's something you can also learn from him. being assertive when you have to 'have a talk' with someone, (it doesn't need to be confrontational) is really just being firm, but kind. g is right about the respect thing. you're sort of like a parent in a house full of unruly, undisciplined children, who defnitely need someone to take a firm hand.
they will have more respect for you when you do. btw, you could also leave them notes on their doors re any infractions of the rules, if that's easier for
you, especially for those times if/when you need to remind them. this'd be especially helpful for heater/lights guy. 
it was totally screwing with my regularity and giving me extra periods
sounds like they contain too high a dosage of estrogen. maybe ask your doc to prescribe something different, with less. after you come off the pill, your hormones are all over the place, which could likely cause bloat and the bigger tummy. pretty sure it's temporary, wreds. and no one who's fat gets called skinny.
Start my week of reception today. I have to be there at 8.
you're not going to screw it up, i'm sure you'll be fine, but best of luck to you, anyway!! let us know how it went?
