If I wasn't a lady, I'd wonder why you were offering me money to give me your "heart." Nonetheless, I accept your terms, under one condition: Your head must never be higher than mine. And understand, when I use the word "head" I am being utterly proper.

Oh, I wasn't apologizing. Don't get too excited.
I've got stamina and Tirz likes weapons. It's not looking good for you, my dear.

I feel like its Thanksgiving.
Weapons, an apology, a rant.
Really, if my mother walks in wearing red polyester stretch pants, I wouldn't be suprised. I'd run but I wouldn't be suprised.

Re: POed here! New Reviewers should educate themselves on Rating BEFORE .
Well, my brother in law reads a book at the table.
Somebody throws something, a cast iron skilled, apples.
Atleast two people will cry, several people will spend the day chain smoking on the porch.
My sister, Judy, will be popping Valium. Edith will be back on her 'mood elevators' and talking about her newest self-help, self-actualization book.
Rose will be dating someone awful and unsuitable. Her daughters will be plotting to get rid of him, like the last two.
Someone will be late but not call.
Then someone will slap someone or have a screaming fit and stomp off and then I get to wash 200 dishes by hand.
Love the holidays.

I can so relate. My mom threw the turkey this past Christmas because we ruined her Christmas when my daughter said she was going to wait to open presents until her brother arrived. He was thirty minutes late. Mom yelled, ran to her bedroom, came out long enough to pull the turkey from the oven and throw it across the counter where it skidded off and landed on the floor.
Once Michael arrived and the present opening began, she wouldn't talk to me and two days later I got to hear how I ruined her Christmas. I didn't say a word during the entire Christmas histrionics, but it was all my fault because I gave birth to the two staring members, well that, and she's afraid of my daughter who could stand her own with anyone at anytime and come out on top.
I know I landed on the back porch smoking my way through the joyous festivities.

ROFLMAO in ways you cannot imagine!
That was hilarious!
*national anthem begins*
But I would have gone with the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Nothing quite does the melodrama like a few "Glory Glory Halleluiahs"
I could really warm up to the sense of humor outside of the men spiritedness of it. Ah well.
Thank you all very much for kicking me back into gear. I tended to what was really bothering me. (A little self awareness goes a long way.)
There were a couple of writers from my other group who were planning on coming here. The one I mentioned (in that post that started it all) in particular who told me about this site.
Duh, all I had to do was show them a few things, and now I don't need to worry about it at all. I really have a mothering hang up sometimes. But I am one, so I get protective.
So, even though being a quiet ghost was a thought, you managed to shake me out of my funk.
This looks like a fun place as long as buddies stay home.
Cue theme from Rocky.
Nah, scratch that... cheesy.
Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz is more my style.

Sounds like fun...
I can't say mine are similar. There's usually an ungodly amount of children screaming and running around. All of the women who usually keep the kids under control are sequestered to the kitchen, while the men refuse to help with the food or the children. My grandmother will undoubtedly give me another lecture on why being vegetarian is rude when I politely tell her I don't want any turkey, and my uncle will ask me to say the prayer even though everyone knows I'm not religious.
Which is why I'm leaving town this year. My new agey mother-in-law is much more pleasant, and she lives in another state. It's the perfect excuse to go see her. And there I can have wine and coffee. There's no contest.

Hubby and I just took the kids to a buffet last year. It was so liberating. I did kinda miss drunken Cousin Joey though.
He drinks Old Style and tells storises about the south side. Da Bears.
Oh Lord!
I just saw Cloris Leechman sucking face with Jhn Stamos on Comedy Central. Crap.

Oh women and children EAT LAST at my house.
I'm up at 5am at my mother's to roast a naked, buttered bird that I don't eat---and it is usually cold by the time its my turn anyway. Perhaps, I'd like it warm? YOu think so?
Sounds like your MIL is pleasant. Can I come?

Well, it wasn't intended to be mean-spirited. I was under the impression that you were gone and never coming back, and the above was intended to be a stress-reliever for everyone who had dealt with you in the... was it two days?... you were here. No hard feelings intended. I had no idea you would read it as I took you at your word when you declared numerous times that you were gone.
If you're back, I'll say straight to your face (computer screen) that I find you to be odd and abrasive, but if you're willing to behave yourself, I can pretend I never read anything else you wrote and treat you as if you're some other Arianna Cordelle Sofer. Sorry if that sounds callous. I had to choose between being kind and being honest.
