You just send it to people who gave you gifts right? or should I also send it to the people that came to the wedding (we had 19 people there)? I would definitely send gifts to the people that came to the wedding. Those people got a short novel in their TY note from me That really is the best gift after all.

Wow Shelley, that's so scary! You poor thing, like you need more stress to deal with... I just did a quick search for that shampoo, and I can't find any ingredients listed either. I'm sure you already know this since you have such a sensitive cat, but for the others: ALWAYS check labels on anything you put on your cat to be sure there is no permethrin in it. NEVER put permethrin on a cat. Pyrethrin is ok, permethrin is toxic. I worked for a vet for 10 years and every time I saw the type of neurotoxicity you're describing, it was because the owners either bathed the cat in or applied a spot-on containing permethrin. I'd call the company and demand to see an ingredients list. If there's permethrin in it, that's your culprit.

If it helps Melissa, I still have like 5 sitting around that I need to hunt down addresses for. It was amazing this amount of gifts that we got from totally random people- like my friend's aunt (why would she send a gift, I hardly know her?), and our best man's grandma (met her like twice). This reminds me that I need to get those out... I too have been to weddings within the last couple years and didn't receive a thank you for my gift. Tacky. I don't care if it's a year later- just send it! lol

Heidi. I'm so glad that this gift and our friendships on this board were able to bring comfort, if only in a small way, to you and Reggie. You two have been through so much and definitely deserve a little R&R. Thanks to all the mods that worked on this project and Christine for making it happen. Thanks to all the great girls on BDW- my "real life" friends also laugh at me when I talk about the forum, but I don't know what I would do without you guys! We have such an awesome group of people on here!

Wow Shelley, that is such a difficult decision to make, and I'm sure not one that has been made lightly. I'm glad you and Amos are able to talk through your feelings and reach a solution that is mutually agreeable. Please let us know how we can help you through this time.

My pages have been taking FOREVER to load for the last couple days too.

Well handled Nicole, and I appreciate your response Juan. It was honest and shows a lot about your character. I hope you have learned from this summer and that it will make you a better business person since you're already a fantastic photographer~

I did it as soon as we got home too, and I did it on my own. I haven't done my passport yet (we're too poor now to travel any time soon! lol) and still run into random things I forgot to change- reminding myself now to change it at the mortgage company...

Happy late Birthday Rachel!

Congratulations Chantelle!

Great review Angie. When do we get to see your pics?

Hapy Birthday Kate! I hope you get out of court and get to have some fun today. Try to destress

Congratulations Susan! So glad to hear everything went well. Enjoy your DH!

Congratulations Jill! Have a wonderful time

Dear self, Calm down. Dear SIL, Yes, I do realize that my brother is your husband and that you deserve to be the one to see him first when he gets home from the Air Force. I totally understand and do not begrudge you that honor. What I DON'T understand is how you can allow your skanky mother to be the one to come along with you, especially when we've already had this discussion that I want to go to the airport with you to pick him up. You know that Jared & I are best friends and have been looking forward to seeing eachother too. You also know that Jared wants me to be there when he gets home. If you were going alone, I'd have no problem, but the fact that you're bringing your mother (who is evil, who has stolen thousands of dollars from you and suddenly just because she "found Jesus" you've decided everything she ever did was ok) instead of men, especially when you're driving 3 hours, but literally will go RIGHT PAST my house and don't see the need to bring me is unthinkable. I hate to throw things up in your face, but let's not mention all that I have done for you, Jared, & Ava. Let's not mention the $5,000 I spent to bring you to my wedding in Cabo, let's not mention the thousands I've lent you over the years, the advice, the friendship, etc. etc. etc. I just want to see my brother before he moves 14 hours away- is that so much to ask. Dear brother, Thank you for calling me yesterday and letting me know that you've talked SIL into letting me pick you up from the airport. I really didn't have a right to go off on you on the phone like that, but you know I was upset. You know I hate your MIL with a passion (and I know you do too lol) so you know why I was furious that she was going to the airport, not me. Thanks for understanding that I was upset because we've always been so close and now you're moving away again. I'm glad that Jeff & I are picking you up and SIL & your MIL are going to pick you up at our house a couple hours later. I'm glad you helped your wife realize that she's going to be moving with you, and she gets to see you for the next several months- I get 2 days. Thanks for helping her realize it wasn't fair for her to bring her mother instead of me,and that you'd rather see me & Jeff than her. I hope you have a safe trip home, see you Wednesday! Dear Jeff, Thanks for calming me down (although I'm still irritated about this, just on principle). You understand how close Jared & I are and know what we've gone through in our lives that has made us this way. You helped me understand that SIL probably wasn't being malicious, but didn't want to inconvenience me by asking me to go to the airport- yes, I know I'm strange because I want to go- you've made that clear! But, I never see helping out my brother as an inconvenience. Thanks for talking me through this until Jared called, and not letting me make that phone call that I wanted to make to my SIL to tell her off- I wouldn't really mean it. Thanks for understanding. Dear any BDW member that just actually read all that, This thread is very therapeutic. I needed to get all that out because i was frickin PISSED this weekend. Ahhh, much better now.

How fun! I love all the pics from get-togethers
