My cat Cali will eat just about anything. She licks the bowl after I eat salad, stole an edamame pod once too. My sister's cat Lucy will literally eat anything. Sometimes we put stuff down for her just to see if it is true. Like popcorn (which she ate).

Your dress looks fabulous on you! So exciting that your day is coming up so soon! Congratulations and have fun!

I have been a nurse for almost 2 yrs and have been working in the medical ICU/Coronary Care Unit. I went back to school after the airlines went down the tubes. I do enjoy my job. I like working just 3 12-hr shifts a week. It is a hard job though (and since I have only worked ICU, I don't know if it just because of the high-stress ICU environment or not). I never realized how much cleaning up of incontinence I would have to do. Nursing is rewarding though. A lot of times in ICU, you are really helping families cope with things. And for the cardiac patients and some of the younger respiratory distress patients, you do see them get better. The rough part (emotionally) is the fact that we get a lot of end stage cancer patients or end-stage COPD people who aren't going to get better. Or people who are in semi-vegetative states and ventilator dependent who are still full codes. I am a real big advocate for quality of life and for allowing people to die when it is their time. There are a lot of family members who want everything possible to be done for their loved one without realizing exactly what that entails for the patient. That can be very stressful because sometimes it feels unethical to prolong this patient's life and suffering. That being said, not all units are quite so intense and there are so many opportunities in so many different areas. The pay is good and the job security is amazing.

maybe I'm just too tired today or a touch stupid...but what is AF? Obviously, I get what it refers to, just can't place the initials.

Ooh, that looks great!!

I had to watch the first 2 seasons since I started watching with FI during season 3. He said I wasn't allowed to watch anymore of season 3 unless I watched the first 2. It was literally my homework assignment. He cooked for me and would do stuff around the house because my job was to watch LOST. We just gave my sister season one to watch. She needs to watch them all to understand why we get so excited about the show.

I just read this book in May. I really liked it! I hadn't heard of the book before, but my FSIL loaned it to me. It was all I could do to put the book down and be social.

I've been to: US Canada Mexico Spain England Ireland Scotland France Germany

the value of the dollar sucks! I love London and England but it is so expensive. I told my FI that we must go to England next April no matter what...as a late honeymoon and pre pregnancy trip. He has never been and I just love it there. So much so that I don't care if it costs me more. Have to take him there before we have a baby and things will be too difficult.

I think that strapless dress looks GREAT on you! Love the dress. I don't think you have anything to worry about! I have 15 lbs to lose and no boobs. I have to pay to have bra cups added to my dress. That's not fun! I think you look gorgeous in those dresses.

I love Boots brand. It is basically a drug store chain over in the UK. I have their foot cream and it is fab. I make a point to stop in at Boots anytime I'm in the UK. I'll have to swing though a target soon and see what all is available.

I love him! I would love to go to a show sometime. I keep joking with my FI that if I went, I'd want to hear from my grandparents but I would probably end up hearing from all the dying patients I've taken care of here in the ICU.

Have fun, Morgan! It is such a shame that Niblets can't be with you. It's a good thing he was there for your legal wedding! Can't wait to see your pics and hear all about it.

Congratulations! How exciting!

Ann, That is so exciting that Gwen is doing so well! It will be nice for you to get back home and get into your routine as family.

Have fun! How exciting that your wedding is just around the corner! Can't wait to see your pics when you get back. Maybe you will even take a ferret with you for the wedding?

My FI wants to know if other bedroom activities are a prorated amount for when he is lower on cash! I mean if you only have $4, you have decide whether you want a gallon of gas or some hanky panky!

Congratulations Morgan!

Oooh, so exciting! I hope they choose you. We would definitely all be watching you on tv!

Congratulations Morgan! Glad to hear your inter-species love affair is being legalized. The day the Mommy & Nibblets married Daddy! So sweet.

Here is the dress my sister will be wearing. She is going to have it cut to tea length and it will not be purple. If you look in the background, there is a girl trying on a dress...it is my wedding dress! This is the color:

And ferrets are so snuggly...how romantic! Ferret love!

Amy, everything looks grest! Your FI is going to love your BD pics! Very sexy! Can't wait to see your wedding photos.

Welcome to the forum! There are quite a few of us Gran Bahia brides getting married over the next year. Should give you plenty of pictures and info to plan with!

Those look great! And St. Paul's is such a pretty cathedral.
