Whom should I spend Thanksgiving?




It breaks my heart to not be able to spend it with both boyfriend, friends, and family. My parents are not very open and would not want to spend Thanksgiving with all my friends and their parents and extended family without meeting them first, and then still they would have objections because my friends’ parents are strangers.

My boyfriend and I sort of broke up, but we still see each other exclusively. I don’t drive and he just got into a car accident and his car was totaled. I want more than anything to spend it with him and his recently widowed father and family and both my parents at our house or theirs, but that is far from being a reality.

Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, where my mother and I cook in the kitchen all day and produce this scrumptious holiday meal complete with cranberry sauce, gravy, really good stuffing (my favorite), mashed sweet potatoes, holiday greens, kimchi (we’re Korean American), and the turkey.

We just had our kitchen remodeled and we have a top of the line oven (Viking), dishwasher (which I’m still not sure how to operate), refrigerator, and a marbled counter top with bar stools. I would very much like to cook in this newly remodeled kitchen especially on my favorite holiday.

My boyfriend wants to go out to eat (because his father supposedly called my father and told him his son has no intention of asking me for my hand in marriage), yet we still love each other, I think, or at least I still love him with all my heart.

We were sexually active, and I came out in the open and asked the priest at the funeral, and my boyfriend’s father about premarital sex making it difficult for us to get together anymore. We are both consenting adults in our early 30s, so this should be a big deal, but it is, especially with me on psych meds.

My best friend is probably going to spend it with her single mother and maybe friends, but I haven’t let anyone know the details of what and who yet.

Whom should I spend Thanksgiving with?




Couple more spidery things for identification.




These are not living in my mailbox and I have no intention to kill them so long as they stay outside.

I went out to get a picture of a specific spider that I’ve seen a dozen times or so in my back yard. I couldn’t find it, but I can describe it. It’s about a half inch in diameter and round. Red and spiny, like a sea urchin on a web. Most of the webs have been in the bushes, but I’ve seen a couple stretched out between the patio chairs. The dog has managed to dismantle those by sweeping her tail through them.

While I was out looking for THAT spider, I happened upon THIS spider on the outside of my window:

It has spun a web between the grill, the patio bar and the window. It’s about an inch and a half long with long black legs. Its body is about the size and shape of a small orange seed. It is a shiny mint green color with black stripes on top, and black with bright orange spots on the rear end and the abdomen. You can’t really see the coloring in the pictures, but you can see its shape.

What ARE they? Are they venomous, or just there? Like I said, I plan to leave them alone until they come indoors, at which point they will swiftly be removed, stomped on and/or eaten, depending on who finds them and whether the finder is human or canine.
None of those look like the two in my yard, but thanks for the link. I’ll keep looking and see if I can find that sea-urchin spider; you can only see its legs if you look at it from the side or the bottom. I’ve never seen a shiny spider before, so I’ll look online to see what I can find, too.







Hi, so I have writers block on my novel and can’t seem to get passed it but I still want to write so I thought writing a fan fic would be relaxing – I was right, lol – anyway the past that has *** beside it should be in italic font. So, what do you think?

“Jacob called again,” mom shouted from the kitchen. I do not know why she was in there they never used it except when granddad came over and she was trying to look ‘human’.

“I’ll call him later, mom.” I replied with no intention of doing it. Why did he have to tell me about them? Pulling out the music sheet dad forced me to play every night from my school backpack I relocated from the living room window to the stool by the grand piano. I don’t even know why I was bothering to try. I never inherited my ‘musical talents’ from my father’s side of the family but it made him happy to see me play and that’s all that mattered. Propping the wrinkled sheet against the gold music stand my fingers ran over the ivory keys. I looked around to make sure no one was present and I gently tapped the first key.

“Oh god, my ears.” Uncle Emmett was beside me in two seconds flat, his hands above his head pleading with the skies. “Make her stop.”
“Funny,” I said but I knew he was right there was no way I was ever going to learn this. I pulled the sheet down and walked past him with my head dipping.
“Oh, come on Nessie, I was fooling around,” he begged, “Come back you’ve only begun.”
“Go annoy, Jasper,” I shouted back in return.

When I entered the kitchen, Mom was cooking her signature dish of Chicken Enchiladas and I knew Granddad Charlie must be due soon.
“I didn’t know Granddad was coming?” I said, opening the white cupboard doors and pulling out two plates.

“Aunt Alice is away to pick him up just now,” Mom replied. “I think he has some news for us.” She hurried from the sink to the stove as she hummed away merrily. I knew she loved feeling human again whenever she got the chance and any other day I would love to sit at the kitchen table and watch her, but not today. No, not after what Jacob had told me.

“Mom, can I pass on dinner?” I asked hoping she would turn around and I could melt her with the same look I used on dad with the help of my chocolate brown eyes.
“Darling,” she began still rushing about the large kitchen, “You haven’t seen Granddad for a while now. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I said looking down at the marble tiles, “I have a test at school I have to study for.”

How could I tell her the truth? How was I supposed to tell her that the man I loved just broke my heart by telling me, he once loved my mom? Stupid Jacob Black. I hated him for what he just told me. However, I couldn’t just switch my feelings off; I loved him also. A tear ran down my face as mom came and sat her cold white hand upon my shoulder.

“It’s okay to be excused tonight, sweetheart. You go study for that test.” She kissed my head and a chill ran through my body. My mother never asked me much about my problems; she knew how it felt to be asked repeatedly about something and never wanting to open up. She always knew how to make my problems better without having to dig around to find out what was wrong. However, she wouldn’t be able to solve this one. Not this time.

Back in the familiar surroundings of the cottage, I made my way into my tiny bedroom. The walls in here reflected my mood they were dark purple and the swirls on them looked like the constant dark clouds that hovered over Forks. I fell onto my bed, switched on my music player, and placed the buds into my ears and turned the volume up full blast, hoping the noise would distract my brain from recalling the moment Jacob told me.

Italic font*** It was sunny outside and I had to screen my eyes with my hand so I could see him coming towards me. My heart fluttered as he came closer and closer. Abby – my best friend – was complaining about how lucky I was to be dating someone so gorgeous. I ignored her and concentrated on Jacob. The way he walked, talked, and smiled always sent my heart into overdrive. He had been around me for as long as I could remember and it just felt right to be near him.

I lifted my hand to wave at him only stopping when I realised he wasn’t making his way towards me. I watched in horror as he simply strolled past without noticing me, and into very young looking arms, of my mother.

“Bella,” he said, picking her up and twirling her.
“Jake,” she cried. “I’ve missed you so much.”

He placed her down on the sidewalk and gently took her hands, “It’s always been you. You’re the one I’m meant to be with. Does your offer still stand to run away?”
“Jacob, I can’t just leave my daughter or my family but I will find a way to be with you.”

The space between them closed in as Jacob bent down and kissed her lips, transformed, and ran away. I called after him but it was no use, I was invisible, to him at least. My mother walked ove
. My mother walked over to me and took my hand.
“Don’t worry Nessie,” she said. “It was always supposed to be this way.”*** Italic font end!

I woke up with tears running down my face and soaking my pillow. The music, I had fallen asleep to, was skipping on a track. I pulled the buds out my ears and threw them on the floor. I heard low mumbling coming from the living room area and realised it must be late if dad and mom were back; dad was hunting today and said he wouldn’t be back until nightfall. Not wanting to cause a scene – dad already had a dislike for Jacob, this would just make it worse- I fell back onto my single wooden bed and traced the engraving on the headboard, ‘look after my heart, I’ve left it with you.’
Yes, I have 2 chapters…so far!

You can read them @ www.bitten.proforums.org its a twilight fansite and Im going to add it there x

Probably their intention is good but man, i read like 40 ignorant advices in this forum over and over

Rule number 1: Dogs are not people, then you CAN NOT apply human psychology in a dog

Rule number 2: YOU are the pack leader, not them, if they do something you dont like is because they see you as a roomate or even worse as a follower and they think they rule the house, thats why the get possesive, jealous, etc. they think they are the boss there

Rule 3: E-X-E-R-C-I-S-E, how would you be inside your house 24/7? you would be eating furniture too, 45 minutes of walking is what they need, if you are too lazy dont get a dog then

Stomach problems? eating his own poop? stop giving him people’s food, they are not food processors like the one in your kitchen, the grass doesnt help unless you are a cow

WATCH AND LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!







This woman that I have known my entire life died Friday. She was like a grandmother to me. She helped take care of me. She always made me my favorite food. I use to sit on a stool in the kitchen while she cooked and talk to her for hours, she would sing with me and dance with me even though she had a bum leg. I spent so much time with her growing up. Granted as an adult I didn’t go see her as much as I should have, but I think everyone is guilty of that. You get busy with work and family- I did go visit with her, but I definitly should have made a point to go see her more. I visited her in the hospital, when her health started failing and she had to be hospitalized. When she died on Friday, I had every intention of going to the funeral, and was even preparing what I was going to say, only to get a call from my mom saying that her daughter already had the funeral today. I am devistated, I can’t believe her daughter would not tell me when the funeral was. I didn’t get to go, pay my respects to this woman who was such a huge part of my life and I will never get that moment back. My mom says I shouldn’t be upset because her daughter was grieving, had to make all the arangements, and had to pick up family at the airport, etc… while I understand that, I did try calling her to see if I could help with anything however did not hear back from her. I am so filled with anger right now, I could probably go my whole life without speaking to her daughter again, but she is like family, I was always apart of any big event in her life such as her graduation, her dance recitiuals, her wedding, she was there for my son’s birth and is my son’s god mother, etc… but I can’t believe she would not tell me when the funeral was, that in my eyes was a slap in the face, I am so hurt and distraught, I don’t know that I will get over this. Am I being selfish being this upset and should be more understanding like my mom says-because right now I don’t understand how I wasn’t the first person she called to tell when the arangements were-much less not call at all
