most of the guests were wearing black.  Of course, it was elegant dresses, with sequins and sparkles.  It actually made the pictures turn out wonderful, very classy looking. Black can be fun, if you dress it up. If you are wearing say a black skirt, pair it with a flashy top, sequins, etc, if the wedding is at night.  As for daytime, I think I'd steer clear of black and opt for something bright or neutral.  Of course, this is JMHO, of course.  Anyhow, the most important thing is to be there to support the new couple and, most of all, have fun! Best wishes to the bride and groom!

.....I guess you really don't have a life...on here all day and now all night...what a

L-O-S-E-R!

transcribing go a LOT easier:

A big bowl full of freshly-made, sweet, kettle-corn popcorn!

Oh....... YEAHHHHH !!!!  

I think since these people also have a transcription service, no one should expect an instant response.  Besides, it's more about giving than getting anyway. 

You asked for opinions, so I'll give you mine. I know you have decided you won't go, but here is my take on that issue. You may not like your stepmother or her children. But your father is still your father. My Dad died just over 2 years ago. What I wouldn't give to have him back just for a Thanksgiving Day. You can get over your personal issues with your step family for the weekend and go and be with your father if you choose. Or you can let these "issues" get to you and choose not to go. Your father won't be here forever. None of us will. Love him while you can. Love yourself enough to be big enough to go and see him. You will never regret that. You WILL regret one day that you didn't go, and you won't be able to change it. You DID ask for opinions. That's all. Please reconsider. You don't have to stoop to your stepmother's level. Be the bigger person. LOVE YOUR DAD WHILE HE IS STILL HERE!!!! Be THANKFUL for him.Off my soapbox. Peace.

Thank you very much. I actually found a pretty good sample. I also found some sites in archives.

Thanks (once again) to all you kind MTs.

Just thought I'd share this site in case some of you haven't seen it.. Turn your speakers up and enjoy! I thought it was cute!

a good time to show the house.  All during the holidays, with families visiting and such, is a very good time for homes to sell.

It is absolutely HER job to show your house.  She should also only be bringing pre-qualified buyers.  She should also abide by your request regarding when the house may be shown.  After 3 is certainly not unreasonable, assuming you aren't including weekends in that.  Many buyers are out and looking earlier on weekends. 

In any case, I would call her broker and change agents NOW, if I were you.  Why waste another few weeks, or even days, when it is only delaying the sale of your home.

Just my opinion. 

Not much to many maybe, but my husband still surprises me sometimes.

He works 3rd shift as a dock supervisor at a local shipping company that's only about a mile from our house. He doesn't like to think of himself as "supervisor" because he's always been a team player.

Because they load trucks to ship out the next morning, he had the night before Thanksgiving off, but had to go in at 8:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. "Lunch Break" is right around midnight and he found out that one of the younger single guys hadn't had Thanksgiving dinner because he had to stick around to go to work instead of going to visit family.

So I hear a bit of commotion in my kitchen around 1:00 a.m. and find that  my husband had brought the guy to the house and had warmed up Thanksgiving Dinner for their lunch break.

Now isn't that just too sweet?

Of course they left me the dishes, but oh well.

Thank you to MT Stars for not only being willing to let us express our opinions, but also for not censoring them.  This bulletin board has more frank and direct information regarding working conditions and companies as an MT that without MT Stars, there would be a lot of wool pulled over MTs eyes.  This board is 100 times more valuable than paid boards, because paid boards are so worried about stepping on any toes.

  and I am sure gonna try to not overeat!! 

ENJOY Y'ALL!!
