Re: Say It Again...Say Anything.
Nothing says Merry Christmas like a Santa peeking out of an outhouse inflatable in your front yard.
My parents' anniversary is tomorrow. It will be 36 years for them.
Exactly what I thought. I wonder who the creative mind behind that one is.
My neighbor set up a deer "blind" in his front yard, tons of lit deer, and a "feeder" hanging from a tree. Frosty the snowman is in his "blind" pointing a gun at the deer.
Someone in the neighborhood has unplugged frosty several times and disconnected the feeder once. Clearly they do not like the hunting theme.
Sigh. I agree that while it's funny, it is an odd way to pay homage to the holiday.

That is by far, the most awesome thing I have heard (read?) all day!
Please post a picture of this. I love it.
Already sent to a friend, who I forwarned in case she thought she was trying to be a rap star.
Nothing should be sung by the likes of Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift.
It just wouldnt be Christmas if my MIL didn't give me earrings despite the fact that I've NEVER had pierced ears in the 15 years she's known me. This year she outdid herself and got me 3 pair!
At this point it upsets my DH more than me, but I can't bring myself to ask for the receipt to return them and get something I could actually use.
what the heck? does she do this every year?? does anyone ever say anything to her? what does she say about it?
I can't count how many times we've told her I don't have my ears pierced and she has even said "try them on," and i will tell her i cant because i dont have holes, she always apologizes and tells me i can return them.
In years' past she would buy all the women earrings (2 daughters, 3 DIL) so I would just go with it, this year it was just me. I didn't say anything.
My period is 2 weeks late. Boobs are not swollen, not feeling pregnant, and can't even think of how we would have gotten pregnent since we have been using condoms and the pill (although I'm transitioning between BCs because the other made me a crazy hormonal angry freak).
But 2 weeks and not a sign of AF, except some mild cramping as if my uterus really wants to have a period but just isn't.
And I just accepted/came to terms with being one and done after a heart-to-heart with DH at Disney.
Time to head to the drug store for a test...

EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Waiting with bated breath for an update!
*feel free to skip over this post - just need to write this out.
I really thought that I had the most wonderful IL's. At least they seemed that way when I was married. And then after he passed, My FIL's true colors showed. Greedy A$$ ba$tard. But that's ok. I got the house, the 401K, the pension, the Insurance money, etc. He can keep the IRA accounts that his son failed to complete the beneficiary paperwork on after we married.. Yeah. I know.. His Golden son did no wrong what so ever. He was perfect. So perfect that he didn't need to heed a doctors warning at a pre employment physical that his cholesterol was way over 300. His Blood Sugar was out of control and is blood pressure, was outrageous.
His perfect Golden Son, who died of a massive heart attack. His heart 50% enlarged. Who's secondary cause of death was also Ethanolism. Yes ladies, my dear, beloved husband, who, in his father's eyes could do no wrong, was an Alcoholic.
But he passed away. And his parents promised me that I would always be their DIL. Be a part of the family. To be loved and included. Now I don't trust my FIL at all... I take him with a grain of salt.. But my MIL, I adored. See that?? past tense.
I overlooked after my husband died, the lack of being invited with the entire family to the coast. And the following year as well. Or the fact that the information regarding the true health of my late BIL was really worse than what it was so that I could not say my proper good bye. Or the fact that the last time my IL's were in my home was November of 2009, when we laid their son's ashes to rest. Because I loved them.
Until now. Why? Why the change? When my MIL finally lied, yet by ommission, to me. What do you mean? you ask? See, shortly before Christmas I spoke to them. And my MIL said they were taking a cruise after Christmas; out of Galveston. GREAT! I wished them well, gave them some info on the cruise ship as I spent 12 days on the same ship. I even told them that I would love to see her and FIL , if they had a chance for lunch before they boarded the ship today or if they wished, ,they were more than welcome to stay at my home upon their return. That they always had a room at my home. She said she would let me know.
Sure... Right.... So today.. as I perused Facebook... I see a picture.. of my late husbands *** of a sister and her daughter; his niece.. sitting in the lobby of the cruise ship... taken by my late BIL's wife. Guess the whole damn family was on the cruise.
See I could care less if they went on cruise and didn't invite me. I just got off that damn ship a month ago.. And I really would NOT want to spend the entire week with my FIL or that Biotch of a SIL... But why LIE? I even spoke to my MIL on the 23rd to let her know that I had sent their christmas gifts and that it would arrive after they left. And said something to the affect about one of the girls getting the package while they were gone.. She said NOT A DAMN THING.
Now that hurts.. I could give a RATS A$$ about my FIL, Biotch of a SIL, but to have my MIL do that hurts.
I guess I need to not be such a forgiving person. Maybe I should have not given them the benefit of the doubt.
One thing is for sure.. I won't be going up there any more.. And I won't be calling any more.. I am done.
thanks for letting me vent....
I just needed to get that out. I am hurt.
Well I didn't rush off tonight. I'll pick one up tomorrow and call you. =D I really think (hope) this is just a pill situation because if I am DH might have a heart attack. And I might have a mini panic attack. It *would* be murphy's law now that I'm ok with being one and done that an accident would happen.

They got married one month after we got married. The only difference.. She gave them a grandson and I did not. But that was our choice to be childfree. My LDH did not want to be a dad, and honestly was not dad material.
i grew up with that with my dad and bro (my brother used to have a theme song for me - sung to the Cops song; only saying "fat girl" instead of "bad boys"). totally understand the murderous rage sentiment....how did it go?
ETA: ita you do not need to lose weight! i think you look great - and not in a "i'm trying to say something nice for a good friend way" but in an honest to goodness way :-)
It's ok Ya'll. I have just accepted that I am no longer part of that family and I am moving onwards to finding a better life for me. It's their loss, not mine. I will always miss Corey and love him dearly, but I have to move forward for me.
I just needed to let it all out somewhere and couldn't do it on Facebook. Ya'll are my YaYa's...
this
The inequality of treatment between rrr (the golden child) and his brother is so sad. His dad pays for our tickets up and then gives us $200 for travel expenses. Writing it all off as a business expense under some family partnerships. He does nothing like this for my bil and sil, only paying him half of the crap salary he used to pay for working for his architecture business and taking care of every little thing around the house. My sil has huge Rx bills (cant work due to medical issues) and they pretty much only have a house because her dad helps keep them afloat.
Oh and I found out today that he writes off every dinner with his girlfriend as a business expense.
I kicked serious butt at crossfit this morning. It was me and three guys. Two of them didn't finish the workout and I beat the third guy by more than a minute.
I just wanted to be an AW about it.
