I know how to say you are a drunk, a pig, and go "F--your mother" aside from a few other choice words. I also know how to say what is your name, mine is...and what time is it? I took high school French and sometimes a word is very close in Spanish to the French translation because of their both being "romance languages" coming from Latin. One of these days, I will try to learn some more Spanish since California is becoming more and more a Spanish colony. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25589 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 09:07:13 +0000 gatakitty 25589@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Pipa's mum: Hubby's family loves the story about Abuela's visit from Mexico to Spain decades ago. Deciding she needed new undergarments, Dona (sorry, my English-only keyboard won't let me put a "~" above an "n") Cuquis strolled into an upscale store in Madrid and politely asked to be shown some underwear. She was baffled by the shocked reaction of the salesclerk, because she knew she didn't do anything wrong; after all, "calzones" is the perfectly proper word for "underwear" in Mexico. It wasn't until later in the trip that she learned that word has a VERY different meaning in Spain! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25578 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:48:56 +0000 Emma 25578@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Do you realize that this is one of the most supportive sites on the internet for women?

I've never had temp jobs,but,even if that's all you have for now,it's enuf to keep you stablized. When you start getting your space w/the kitties organized,it will be another big load off your mind. Take it from someone(me) that lived in her car for 4 months once, your heading in the right direction &#38; things will smooth out. Just don't rush things in your mind,or else it could make you feel lost. And believe me,your not lost. I envy you that you've been in the right place at the right time to accomplish what you have. Hugs &#38; Purrs from me &#38; my fuzzies. Love,Susie </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25551 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:12:46 +0000 PipasMumSpain 25551@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*blush*<br /> Ginny!<br /> I don't know if I'm shocked or very very impressed.... ;-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25546 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:06:27 +0000 gatakitty 25546@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin: Yes, my sister, we are hear for venting, but if you are really needing a therapist, a good place to go is your local university. The school of psychology at any university has a training clinic that is available to the general public. Cost is almost always on a sliding scale, and will always be much cheaper than seeing someone in private practice. Hours available are usually more flexible, too. These students are all in the latter part of their post-graduate studies, and are supervised by licensed and experienced professors. All you have to do is find one with whom you are comfortable.</p> <p>Now I'll say what Pipa's mum wouldn't: este pen**jo se necessite ir de nuestro pays. Si este ch*****dero te moleste una vez mas, tu teneis muchos compadres que quieren dar al esta na**a un leson qu'el no va olvidar!</p> <p>(It helps to have a Hispanic in-law who owns a construction company!) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25545 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:02:27 +0000 PipasMumSpain 25545@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We are all proud of you Karin. All these ugly things going on and look at you, getting used to your new place... happily looking foward to the weekend.<br /> I am just terribly impressed... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25542 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 07:55:11 +0000 Bogman, Clark and Andy's mama 2/27 Florida 25542@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin, to follow examples set before BIG HUGS from me and PURRS from the fur babies. Did I tell you lately how proud I am of you? Well, if not, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! and I'm here anytime ANYTIME that you need me. OK? lots of LOVE Terri </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25537 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 07:49:21 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 25537@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you all. Emma, I love Larry the Cable Guy's Git'er done phrase. It says it all. I managed to go to bed an hour earlier and also unload a couple of boxes. I will try to tackle the kitchen tonight and finish up the bedroom tomorrow. Then I will be able to figure out if my Grandmother's dining table and six chairs stays or goes into storage.</p> <p>I am so glad it is Friday. Traffic was a breeze. I got to work 10 minutes early instead of 15 minutes late and left at the same time. I was leaving around 6:20am but will try leaving at 6:20 on Mondays and Fridays and 6am on Tues-Thursdays. </p> <p>Cable person is coming tomorrow and then I will be able to use the internet at home. Yay!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200/page/2#post-25511 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 06:33:37 +0000 Emma 25511@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The reason for therapy is to make sure that we can identify patterns in our lives and not repeat the bad ones. Making the same mistakes over again is very tiresome, and sometimes we just need to get enough time to ourselves to sit in a heap and decide what we've done, what we want, and how we are going to get it.</p> <p>If we can do it alone and with the help of good friends and our own introspection, great.</p> <p>If we can do it with therapy and the help of a good counselor, again, great.</p> <p>Either way, (to quote Larry the Cable Guy), "Git 'er done!" Do the things that will ensure a good life and don't repeat mistakes.</p> <p>Karin, sweetie, you're going to do just fine! We all love you so much and we are all praying for you. You can't lose, kiddo! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25502 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 05:52:12 +0000 peppercat28 25502@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Big Hugs from me...and remember there will be a time when you look back on this and will just sigh that it is all over...keep positive (I survived learning my husband had two other wives, and now it is just interesting conversation over coffee)You have alot of friends here :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25052 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:47:38 +0000 Molly 25052@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'd encourage you to find a good therapist, Karin. I have a lot of wonderful, supportive friends and a brother and sister to die for, but therapy gave me a whole different take on why I do what I do and am who I am. It's about much more than venting, it's about learning to work with your strengths *and* your weaknesses. Of course, finding a really good therapist can be a major odyssey in itself, but if you do find one you can work with, the experience can be invaluable. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25045 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:25:52 +0000 MadcatwomanintheUK 25045@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi Karin -</p> <p>First - and most importantly - {{{{HUGS}}}}</p> <p>Second - paying for a therapist? You have us, and we're free!!! Vent in here, punch pillows when you're not online, and swear like a trouper about the *&#38;%@@*" you married, and how you are SO well shot of him. Repeat after me : "I am great, my life is picking up nicely, and my prat husband can go (rhymes with duck) himself."</p> <p>Third - eat that ice cream. It's a crime not to eat HD ice cream. Don't make me tell you off for this again!</p> <p>Fourth - more {{{{hugs}}}}</p> <p>You're doing great. Some reaction is only to be expected now you're in your "safe" place. Grab a kitten to cuddle and get some sleep. xx </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25036 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:13:16 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 25036@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, he got some nice things left by me...a microwave, nice toast/convection oven, a deep fryer, and a sort of broken vacume cleaner. He also got to keep the larger of the two couches and his bookcase. I left his room alone as well. I left the place a message - carpet needs to be professionally cleaned and so does my old room and bathroom. I left my bathroom with cat litter all over the place so he has to deal with that. Also, he needs to find a roommate by the end of this month or he will have to pay for the whole rent by himself. If the landlord comes after me for any part of the rent, I will encourage her to start eviction notice on him and make sure the eviction doesn't go on my record. That is one more thing I have to ask the attorney. I will be calling her tomorrow to discuss reducing her fee if I can do some of the paperwork myself. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25017 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:32:45 +0000 miu 25017@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, Karin! {{{Big Hugs}}} So great you got rid of him! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-25000 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:55:35 +0000 Emma 25000@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, yes, and the toilet paper, too?

This is just one more confirmation of why you are getting rid of that jerk.</p> <p>You've gotten your new place, your kitties are OK, and things are beginning to look up. If he calls or harrasses you, call the lawyer and the police. </p> <p>Now, please sit back and remember that we all love you, we are all praying for you, and God is handling all of this with you.</p> <p>God will handle your ex. God is bigger, stronger, has more time, and a much better imagination than any of us. Your ex will eventually regret a lot more than he ever dreams. </p> <p>And another thing: God ALWAYS gets the last word. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1200#post-24966 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:44:27 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 24966@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karin, I am so sorry to hear of your latest intrusion on your privacy.
