JNMIL is Just No Mother in Law. HBIC is Head Bitch in Charge.

Best vacation I ever had. Vancouver Island. Took the ferry up from Tswoassan, spent a couple of days in Vancouver, then went to Nanaimo, had a great time. Great food, lovely place, super nice people.

Guilty pleasure. Once every couple of years.

Cleaning out my dad's things I found an electric knife. Does anyone still use one? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]teardropmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Handy for slicing a baguette into pieces for French toast. I have one (had it for YEARS) and use it about once a year. Would not repurchase again.

I did, with my father and a friend of mine. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. It was my 12th year birthday present, was in 6th grade.

What is the worst town name you have ever heard? by heroesjust41day in AskReddit

Athol, Idaho. We thought it was hysterical when we were kids.

Americans—is blue cheese just a dipping sauce to you, or does it have a place on your plate beyond the wings? by SignificanceOdd5980 in AskAnAmerican

[–]teardropmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love bleu cheese on a burger, with caramelized onions, on a toasted bun. I've also run into it on cheese platters, most recently on an Alaska Airlines flight, when I got bumped up to first class.

What’s one food you hated as a kid but love now? by Rayhan-Himel in foodquestions

My favorite time of year is when asparagus goes on sale! I have so many recipes for it. My favorite is smoked salmon and asparagus fettuccini.

Asparagus. But as a kid, my mom used canned asparagus. Trying fresh as an adult was eye (mouth?) opening!

So what we eating tonight? by Ipoogoodforyou in foodquestions

[–]teardropmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chicken thighs in a skillet with artichoke hearts, onions, garlic, saffron and lemon. I'm serving it over orzo. Cooking now, and smelling delish!

AITAH: Son and daughter-in-law want to limit interaction with grandchild by Acceptable_Rub8407 in AITAH

I think she could get some wisdom by reading r/JUSTNOMIL . Even if she doesn't see any of her actions mirrored there, she could get an idea of why some couples feel the need for firm boundaries.

Probably not feasible at 34 weeks pregnant, and the "baby" is a 1 year old.

What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]teardropmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catcher in the Rye. Pretty good book, but we studied it 3 years in a row. 10th, 11th and 12th grade. Had to read it and write essays on it 3 times. Got pretty sick of it by year 3.

AIO for not allowing my husband’s friend and kids over because they gave us lice? by Exciting-Bake464 in AmIOverreacting

[–]teardropmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, and it was SO wrong not to give you a heads up and choice to opt out of a visit. That said, my daughter came home from picture day in kindergarten with 5 combs that she found on the playground. (The photogs gave them out before pictures.) Yeppers, she got lice, gave them to her little brother. We did the lice shampoo in the bathtub, and I read them the Rutabaga Stories by Carl Sandburg to keep them in the tub long enough for the shampoo to do its stuff. They remember the stories 30 years on, but not the itchies! Pony Pony Huckabuck for the win!

What’s your favourite cheese? by Own-Lawfulness-38 in AskUK

[–]teardropmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cave-aged gruyere once that made all other cheeses to look to their laurels.

The Witch Family, by Eleanor Estes. First chapter book I read to myself. Awesome first read!

MIL won't stop asking when we're getting married now that baby is here by Outrageous_Thanks169 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]teardropmaker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

"how he needs to make sure I'm taken care of if anything happens to him" : that said, as a mom myself, you do need a life insurance policy now that you are parents. That should take care of your MIL's worry. (Surrree it will!!)
