Okay, I’m kind of curious about that one. 
But only that one.
I’m hoping. The dogs I have spent the most time around are of that sort (bichon, shitzu, pomeranian mixes) and I’ve spent as long with them (or longer) at a time as I did with Bobby and never had any issues. So we shall see…
Just got back from Cub camp today. We have a bunch of early risers. 6:30 am yesterday and again today, even after running them ragged on Saturday and some stayed up until 11:30 despite being tucked in and we had to practically sit on them to get them to stop long enough to fall asleep… then up AGAIN at 6:30, followed by a Scout setting off the fire alarm (setting a fire in the fire place except the smoke didn’t vent properly OUTSIDE so that woke up everyone else who actually was still sleeping… not five minutes after I told them to keep it quiet because 75% of the people were still sleeping and they were making enough noise for all of them.
I am so damn tired, but I can’t sleep now or I’ll be messed up tonight/tomorrow…
I let someone else make me feel like the rudest person on earth.
My mother in law is here for the stitching convention, so I asked her out for lunch. Then I invited her best friend to come with us. At lunch, I ordered off the left side of the menu, because I was going to pay for it and we all ordered fancy bar drinks. Again, I only looked at the left side of the menu while I was encouraging them to pick something fun. We had a great time and MIL gave me a beautiful piece of her work.
Mother in law grabbed the check and refused to let me pay. I was the hostess, I invited someone else without asking her and now she won’t let me pay!!! Crap!!! I really wanted to kick up a fuss, but dang…she’s my husband’s mom and she’s like 80 years old…can’t get physical over the tab.
I still feel like the rudest person ever.
Inviting her best friend was your treat to her, she wanted to pay you back and chose to do it literally. Would you rather she had invited Tony over?
I dunno, flatlined, that looks almost like a sneak-brag “I’ve-got-the-sweetest-mother-in-law-in-the -world” anti-rant to me.
Anyway, next time you want to take her out to lunch, give your credit card to the wait-person before you order.
I’ve been banned from posting on Facebook for 24 hours.
Why? Because I called out a certain LH on the Huntington Post. LH is a notorious anti-vax moron. He spends hours and hours each day trolling the net to post the most idiotic comments on vaccines. No dumbass youtube video is too dumb for him to post somewhere. Andrew Wakefield? A hero. Whale to? An acceptable source. The CDC? A group of conspiracy theorists.
He’s also a convinced felon who spent years behind bars because he was too stupid not to drink and drive. He has called one of my daughters funny looking and another obviously vaccine damaged. Oh and he’s a truther and a moon landing hoaxer. So it’s okay for him to call me evil, insult my girls and tell people to use quackery rather than vaccines. But it is not okay for me to point this out.
Way to go Facebook. Abusing the Algorithm indeed.
Max my 35# Maine coon, claims he is bigger than any damn scrawny bobcat, but all he wants is to purr at you until the pain goes away.
You gotta let parents pay, after putting up the normal “No, let me!”, since it makes them still feel needed. This is actually quite important psychologically to empty nester parents.
Lucy, my female Maine Coon clocks in at eighteen pounds. I thought that was big but I guess not. lol
Facebook banned you for a comment you made on the Huntington Post site? That’s a bit Big Brother of it, isn’t it?
Hell yeah. This wasn’t even a conversation on their damned site. It’s also ridiculous of LH to try and pretend that his vile DUI record is some sort of state secret.
Wait. Huntington or Huffington?
Facebook is weird. I should look into a way to ask them how they can even justify that.
Oops. Huffington Post. I always forget what that little hive of villainy and scum is called. It’s not the first time they’ve done this to me or to friends of mine.
The asshole reported you. Facebook doesnt even look carefully at that.
I had a mini Maine Coon once. She weighed six pounds soaking wet.
I miss that cat.
That’s probably because I do have the sweetest mother in law in the world.
I’d be a little concerned about giving my card to the wait-person in advance…not because I’d be afraid they would do bad things with it (they already get the chance when I pay anyhow), but because then they would have to keep track of it. Next time, I will tell the wait-person up front that its 1 check and to give it to me.
Huh. I never heard this one before. Doesn’t matter…I issued the invitation, I’m the one who pays.
I got absolutely zero back-up from my husband when I complained to him. All he said was Don’t bother arguing with Mom, you will lose every time.
Is there (lay) research on this I can read somewhere? My wife and I have this problem (particularly with the in-laws) and she would probably like to know about this.
Mini Rant.
Cant log into internet. Error says "serverD214 cannot run anymore sessions. GET OFF MY INTERNET!
It seems to be working now.
susanlinda823, did you possibly mean “intranet”. Your complaint would make sense then.
