My MIL came today and announced that she thought she might spend the night (she lives an hour away.) My whole heart just sank. My son's b-day is tomorrow, and it's mother's day. Today was the 3rd family function I have had to host in 30 days and I have about had it. I planned the get together for today so I could have a RELAXING Mother's Day instead of cooking for everyone else. Am I going to hell because I am glad she started feeling ill and went home? I mean, she is so nice.
On another note, my own mother didn't show up, and this hurts my feelings- even though it would have been more stressful for me if she had (still, thinking stuff like "she doesn't give a azz butt about me...) so here I am wishing a woman who is perfectly nice and giving of her time- goes home, and feeling bad that this woman who was supposed to love me (but doesn't seem to) didn't show. What is wrong with me? If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with, right? Well, I can't seem to.
Probably goes back to how they talk about your mother being your first love, and how much it hurts to be jilted by them. She just lets me down so often.:crying:

More cheese is usually the cure to a lot of things. :It's the camera, mostly. It really messes with the colours if there's even a hint of darkness. It looked and tasted just fine (the secret is more cheese. :thumbup
:EDIT: Maybe not constipation, though.

I just watched this video about vision, and it says that if you close your hand with just a tiny hole and look through it, you'll see things more focused. Now, I have pretty good eyesight so I barely notice a difference, so I tried to test it with my mum. Bad decision. I took the first thing I found, an ink cartridge box sitting on top of my printer, and took it to my mum. I asked her to do that thing with the hand and try to read it. She kept trying to get her glasses even though I told her multiple times that this was supposed to be done without them. Eventually she got her glasses and started reading it. She started asking me what I wanted: did I need more cartridges? Did I need something else? I kept telling her I just wanted her to do that thing with the hand and read. And she kept asking me the same questions. Then I got this pamphlet from my bank, from 5 years ago, which was lying around for some reason, and since it had bigger letters I asked her to read that instead. She asked me what I wanted again: what was the connection between the bank and printer? What were my real motives? And so on. Eventually I got her to "try" what I wanted (she wasn't even trying to do it properly). Then she gave me a speech on how she can't see anything without glasses and how my aunts can't either and so on.
This whole thing took 30 minutes. All I wanted was for her to close her hand and open a little hole and try to read through it, which should've taken 1 minute.

I think that Sarah Jessica Parker looks best in her role of hocus pocus than any other role she's ever played. Ever
I really despise beauty pagents especially little children ones... Especially.
I would like to cut out a picture of professor xavier's head and tape it on to a handicapped sign.. I wonder if I would get a ticket if I used this for parking. :question:

Have you ever seen Striking Distance? She was in that one and she looked awesome in it IMHO. Yeah, I'm with you on the beauty pageants for small children.

^I know that is certainly the case for me. :sad:
It is so difficult to re-wire your brain to think that your opinions are not automatically wrong and everyone else's is always right, when you had that pumped into you as truth during the formative years of your childhood.

So apparently it's my fault that the car doesn't even start. My mum gave it to me and my sister on our birthday some years ago (I think it was just an excuse to buy a new car for herself), and I always made it clear that I didn't like driving in the city and I also didn't like driving that particular car for a number of reasons. So it was my sister who drove it most of the time. She went to another country last year so no one uses the car. It had the battery run dry a few times so my mum started turning the car on during the weekends. She started threatening me that she would sell the car if I didn't use it, to which I answered "Then sell it". She didn't sell it. Now the car doesn't even start and she's blaming me. That's like giving a dog to someone who doesn't want one and then telling them the dog is their responsibility now.
That's really unfair. :/
If at all possible, you could try to get it fixed and then sell it yourself. You could even give her the money if necessary, so she doesn't have any reason to be mad at you. Right now it seems to be a machine that causes more harm than good, it may as well be recycled into a financial resource to be spent otherwise.

I understand, my mom does the same thing all the time and then tells me I dont take care of anything and that I'm ungrateful and so on. Maybe she doesn't really know how she's acting. you should tell her she's not making sense for being mad because you didn't want the car in the first place and try to sell it.

The easiest way to deal with a internet troll is to tell them that you love them. They're prepared for a ton of responses, but not that one. This counter-troll measure is extremely effective. Follow it with gentle compliments no matter how negative their responses are, and the conversation will die out rather quickly.

Thanks you! I love that idea!

The easiest way is to just ignore them. Writing things takes effort and time.
True, but it seems like there are always people whom the troll manages to hook, so if you ignore them they're likely to keep hooking more people and causing more chaos, which can be annoying.
I often try to expose the troll as a troll, while not taking them seriously. The last troll I remember coming on here, I got to him early and advised him that he could be trolling far more effectively and that I believed in him. :
:Finally! Somebody else who admits that a pale woman can be pretty! Pale can be hot.
You're my new hero. I like that idea!
This is true as well.

I literally lol'd reading that. It's different feeding the trolls compliments huh? I'll try that based on your recommendation. I love it!
This is never a bad option. Sometimes people come off with something so ignorant I just can't help myself. :idontknow:
