Does anyone else think this is effed up?
My grandparents gave me a house as a wedding present currently they have the deed to the house, which is going to be passed to me when they pass away. They GAVE me the house.. Well, when I got my income tax, they asked if I would loan them a $1,000, hey no problem, I owe them more than that. I gave them the $1,000. (I only got back $1,919)… Today I get a call from them.. They have a $750 electric bill.. I have a electric bill due today too!! Actually, I have a shut off notice, if I don’t pay it today, they’re gunna come shut it off. They want me to pay their electric bill and I don’t even have $750 left, I have enough to pay my electric and water bill. I told them that, and they pretend like they don’t even hear it. A second ago they called and said that if I didn’t pay their bill, I need to pack mine and my husbands things and get out now. I have never known my grandparents to be so money hungry, I mean I JUST gave them $1,000 dollars not even 2, count ‘em, TWO days ago.. The only place I can go is my mothers house, which is a mobile home trailer thingy, thats very small, her, my little sister and her husband live there already, and we’re welcome there, but it was just be extremely uncomfortable in a 2 bedroom 1 bath trailer with 5 people in it.. I don’t know what to do, my mind is about to explode.. There really is no way to get out of this.. I wonder what in the Fu c |< has gotten into them.. My grandma runs a hospital in Hot Springs, AR, she makes nearly $500.00 dollars a day, she works 3 days a week and her paycheck is never less than $1,400 every week. So, wtf is the deal? Anyone else think this is completely effed up?
Honeymoon help?
My fiance and I are getting married in November. Our income isn’t a fortune and can’t afford a lot of vacation for the honeymoon. The wedding is on a Saturday and we have taken that Mon off. We live in OKC, Oklahoma. We are considering driving to Hot Springs, AR, Tulsa, OK, or Dallas, TX for a brief escape from life rather than a traditional honeymoon. Anyone able to recommend things to do, see, or places to stay in any of those places?
We will drive after the wedding on Sat and stay till Monday evening.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go (like bed and breakfasts) that is close to OKC that would be great for a wedding escape?
Just for reference Dallas and Tulsa are both 2 to 2.5 hours from OKC. Hot Springs is 5.5 hours away. We’ll be leaving the reception at around 5pm – ish. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We want to be able to make it to the place that Saturday so we can enjoy our two days fully. No one night stops in between.
Please remember this is in November. The theme parks will be closed and camping is pretty much out of the question due to weather. We will eventually take a proper honeymoon. We are thinking sometime around May when vacation is more readily available at our jobs (Our wedding is on Thanksgiving weekend so neither of us have much of an option about how much vacation our companies are willing to grant us) We aren’t taking our honeymoon, we are taking a break from OKC. Someplace quick, refreshing, and different.
