True Story: My mother would enter her lentil chili in a local chili cook off competition every year.
IT. WAS. AWFUL.
My mother is one of those people who butchers perfectly good recipes with the steadfast belief that she can always make it "healthier". Which is exactly what she did with a perfectly respectable chili recipe.
One year, they created a new category: Most Creative. My mother won. She was also informed that once a recipe wins in one category - any category - it is no longer eligible to be entered again.
They had to make up new rules to get rid of her! Lol
Currently obsessed with 100+ year old needlework patterns. I've never done filet crochet before, but I will have new kitchen curtains before summer is out. Lol
They like you and accept you as one of their own, congrats!
My rats would take out my hair ties and unravel my braids, gnaw off bandaids, try to pry off jewelry , and always with an attitude of, "Really, what would you do without us? You're a mess!" I think the creepiest/weirdest thing was when I was sad and they tried to dry my tears. Rats coming for your eyelashes is a bit overwhelming. Lol
Be prepared to very well cared for, my friend! You're in good (tiny) hands!
Agreed. This feels a bit like sabotage, especially the way they went to OP's mother and now seem to be pulling her strings. I understand that the former ILs will always be grieving the loss of their daughter but they are straight up attempting to turn OP's wedding into a memorial service, and it sort of seems like punishment for healing and move forward where they haven't been able to. They might need to sit this celebration out, they're just not ready yet.
At least your finished project will be self-cleaning!
Ooh... Potato canon.
Nevermind... Husband said potato cannon is illegal in many places.
Now I want one to see how many ways I can use it for home defense. First up: Wrist Rocket! lol
I like balderdash. No matter how many times I hear it, it always sounds like a word that was made up on the spot. Lol
They say it's a luxury service but it's really because they're in a crappy location with shit for parking.
No one wants to park 4 blocks away and then walk (possibly in heels) in the dark/rain/cold/heat/sketchy neighborhood. They also don't want to walk the 4 blocks back (possibly in heels), in the dark/rain/cold/heat/sketchy neighborhood. So "FREE Valet Parking" is how they get the customers who would otherwise go somewhere else.
Medical facilities are a little different: it's a liability issue to have patients parking their own vehicles and walking across the campus. Valet saves them money on insurance. It's cheaper to pay out on a dinged car than a dinged person. Lol
THIS is why I joined this sub. Lol
We call those sky raisins. Bees are spicy sky raisins. Hornets and wasps are jalepeñopes.
If one goes, I know it's not long before another does, too. I chop to spare myself further heartbreak. Lol
The only statement he's trying to make is, "See?? I just got engaged! To a woman! I am totally straight!"
Mass cremation of pet remains is currently a common practice in the US. When our dog died, we had the choice of group or individual, for an added cost. (We chose individual.)
Pssst... There's no basement at the Alamo.
At least she wasn't named after the package store Bunghole Liquors.
Yep, everybody's getting the New Kids On The Block permed bowl cut now. Lol
I want these two to dress up for Halloween as Johnny Bravo and his Reflection.
Humanity will always disappoint.
She's dressed and behaving like a sexualized child - it's implied kiddie p**n.
Then stop telling people I'm Bud from the Cosby Show!
According to Darwin, they were supposed to end up as lion food but since we humans have basically removed ourselves from the food chain, we're kinda stuck with them now.
My recipe is better than your recipe!
