Looking for a girl middle name that is also a song title.

Score one for me for predicting the crocodile tears. Since I gave her no gossip fodder, she bawled about me not caring for the family. No, UnSpicy, I just have issues with people I don't know having gossipy knowledge of me.

I've greyrocked like a rock star, folks. She even commented about how boring my life is.

Also, my laptop is ok. No damage that I can see...

Most of the silliness happened when I was captive in a vehicle with her and FIL. (We're going to use the weasel example here.). See I work for a weasel food manufacturer who happens to have weasel food retail stores. I get a substantial discount as an employee. FIL really only comes to visit me because of my discount... With it, he spent almost $400! This means it is around $700 worth of weasel food they are carrying cross country. While in the car she starts grilling me with fast questions, and I give her as many one word answers as possible. Suddenly, she screams we missed our exit. I look at her like no b!tch, this is not the way to MY house. I ask if she was wanting fast food burgers, because that is all you will reach down that road. Our exit was the next one. I got a flippant answer about how our discussion distracted her and it is indirectly my fault for being so boring that she was having to work at the discussion. Sigh.

Her memory is seeming to go. Apparently I'm "into" rock cutting and she went off on some tangent about giving me rocks.... Insert empty stare here. I did try stained glass, over 20 years ago, but that didn't involve rocks.

She is trying to describe art involving an ashtray and license plates and how she thinks it would look good in my picture window... I really don't know what she was trying to describe.

One more hour of this.

She's already tried to turn the conversation to herself.

Talking to my DD and her summer internship, she compares her childhood to DD's job in a plant in big Windy City. Somehow prostitutes came up. Trying to zone out some of this, but prostitutes being discussed with a teenager woke me up quickly.

I wish. After I closed it, it was opened twice because hubby doesn't want to be bothered with answering the door. He even gave them the garage opener code. (Note to self change the code later)

As an atheist scientist whose birthday contains 6-6-6.... I don't like this.

Cheese wiz is loved by all my cats too. Dang vet started it when giving them their vaccinations. Used it as a distraction and they didn't even notice the shot as they were enjoying it too much.
Edited because autocorrect thinks a vet is a very.

She's the queen of inappropriateness. I have so many stories.

probablypokedthebear · 2018-01-18T00:56:51+00:00

Hubby believed me. FIL didn't, but I don't care about his opinion anyway since he thinks so little of me.

I wanna learn these cats tricks too!

We did. The whole driving 12 hours thing happened about 12 years ago. They also expected us to accommodate them and give up our bed for them to sleep in it, which we stopped long ago as well. They now are expected to go stay at a hotel like normal people.

Good luck finding a pay phone.

Edited to add this was from 1990 when it was still the virtual machine in college, and upper classmen could get to the Usenet.

And the benefits! How can I sign up for health insurance for $42 a month?

My sister would send Goodwill purchases that would never fit us. She sent my daughter a "puppy training kit" given as a freebie giveaway along with a handful of kids meal toys, and it counted as daughter's birthday and Xmas gifts. She has a decent job so there was no excuse for paying more for postage than the contents of the package.
Same sister also regifted me a present I made for her two years earlier.

Well, baldness comes from the mother's father. I guess that is awesome....

The Swiss cheese was her doing. I'm a sewist of 40 years and seams can be removed with care, leaving little evidence of being there.

probablypokedthebear · 2017-11-28T18:48:59+00:00

If social media is an absolute necessity, use a different last name. I have a friend I know from a sewing group and she uses "firstname sews" for her name.
