Migraine today. I did manage to pick up my grocery order before I took meds so that’s done. Now the meds have kicked in and I’m hoping I can get supper fixed this evening and maybe get a few things done, or maybe not. Idk

Ds is so excited that he doesn’t need to get his wisdom teeth removed. He has room. He was scared after watching what his bro is going through from his removal.
Oh gosh, how lucky for him! My mom only had two wisdom teeth, so I consider her pretty lucky, too. Getting my four out was horrible! I’m hoping ds will just.follow.my.instructions. and hopefully not have any problems. But he’s hard headed, so we’ll see…

Ds22 got his wisdom teeth pulled today. It went really fast. Like super fast! He's in pain now, so please say a prayer for him. I am nearly 2 hrs away so I can't be there. His gf is taking care of him (and she does a good job, just wish I could be there).
I put up my new Christmas tree today, it's not a regular one. I'll post a pic when I get it decorated and figure out how to put lights on it.
I feel really crappy. I don't know what is going on, maybe a fibro flare-up? But I feel like dog doo.
glad they got blood, @TravelingChris! Hope your day is better today @SKL!-

I’m just saying. My husband’s family has never had any conversation that wasn’t deeply shallow.
In over 30 years I’ve never had a conversation that wasn’t general pleasantries. The weather. How’s work? (Always good. Or some inane general complaint.) How are the kids? (Again. Always good. Anything negative is just not mentioned.)
We have had entire holidays where a relative shows up divorced and no one knew. And no one asks. “Where’s Ted?” “Oh he can’t make it anymore.” “How are the kids? They are having fun with dad this weekend.”
Last year a niece showed up missing a leg and no one knew or said anything. And to be clear I’m not looking to be cruel or anything. But to pretend nothing is going on and nothing has changed has always been bizarre to me. To not ask what happened or how they are doing beyond a superficial way is … a different kind of cruel disregard imo.
I’m 100% confident that if I die tomorrow it’ll be at least a few weeks before my in laws know. And it won’t be discussed. I can hear it now. “Mom, Murphy died a few days ago and funeral is tomorrow. It’s be good if you can make it but no stress if you can’t.” “Oh. Well he has to do everything himself now but it’s fine bc the kids have always been so well behaved and independent anyways. This casserole the church provided is really good. I wonder if I can get the recipe.”
I have spent 30 years of family get togethers at my in laws quietly sitting on a sofa having almost zero conversation with anyone in an effort to not offend anyone with me being… well me. And yet that offends everyone too. 🤷♀️
WTH??? I don’t know whether to laugh or be in shock. I’m speechless.

This is awesome!!! I wish this could be a feature at all libraries or at least the major library in each region. Ds would’ve been all over this stuff and can you imagine the good it could do, especially with teens?!

I think my WOTY is going to be “Commit”. I need to commit to several things so maybe this will motivate me.
My PATY is going to be “use it up”, meaning use what I have already before buying something new, whether it’s food, makeup, etc.

I haven’t met ds22’s gf’s mom yet, but have met her dad and brother. Obviously, I’m not texting them, lol. They live 1.5 hrs away, so it’s kinda hard to meet and develop a friendship. I think we’ll get along well though, from what I know about her mom.
Ds’s first gf: her dad spent holidays with us, so obviously we all became pretty close. That relationship ended after two years though.
Now, my mil and my mom are good friends now. It took a while, but they text each other regularly, my mil has stayed with my mom, and they hang out together when they can.

Nah, i think Heart did enough pursuing and trying to make things work in her past marriage. She deserves to be on the other end of that. She needs someone who will pursue her. I’m not talking about not going after a guy to let him know you’re interested. I’m talking about having to chase him down to get him to respond to simple communication. She shouldn’t have to do that.

She sounds like she’s excited to finally have a girl in the mix, tbh. I think she’s just overly excited. What you’ve said, like ‘pretty’ is good and keeps it simple, but kind. Not liking her isn’t sinful, being mean would be. You’re doing great handling it, imo.
she reminds me of the meme that says something like:
me: my kid will NEVER …..
my kid: nevering like they never nevered before.

Dang, that could’ve ended really badly. Glad y’all are ok!
Don’t chase a guy, heart. You deserve someone who pursues you. Just my opinion.-

I’m recuperating today. Trying to finish off what few leftovers we have. Watching football. Today is a lazy day, for sure!

Our Christmas tree needs to be replaced (bought it for $39 12 years ago, so we've gotten the goody out of it!) but I just am not feeling traditional trees. I just bought this and I'm going to put fairly lights on it. I like that I can actually see all my ornaments since I only use ones that are sentimental to me in some way. I hope I love it!

Thank y'all! It certainly felt good to hear as I was laying in bed recuperating from 2 days of cooking! 🥰🥰🥰

I’m not a good cook, but for whatever reason God has mercy on me when it comes to making holiday meals. Everything was perfect. After leftovers are eaten, I’ll go back to my usual of cooking lackluster food, lol.
The dressing especially got lots of raves and I fixed a huge platter which was almost all eaten. It’s dh’s grandmother’s recipe and it’s time consuming so I’m glad everything appreciated it. I sent ds home with a bunch of leftovers and he texted me late last night to thank me and told me everything was delicious. 🥰🥰🥰. It was worth the headache just to hear that.-

We’re done with eating! Thank you Lord it’s over. I informed everyone that next year will be premade stuff or Cracker Barrel. I am in fibro pain something fierce. But it was all really good! I’m about to eat some pecan pie!

Happy Thanksgiving!
We're doing turkey, etc. Saturday when dss and the grands will be here. Today I'm doing my FOO's traditional meatballs and ravioli. The sauce is on the stove with meatballs cooking in it. The house smells wonderful.
Oh gosh, meatballs and sauce sound wonderful. My bil is Italian and his grandmother taught my sil how to make her meatballs and sauce and it is divine!

Yeah, that changes things. I would not be happy about that if my spouse did that.

I've read through this, looked up some stuff, and basically agree some with both 'sides'. But I want to say that I feel badly for this girl. 20 years old, probably coerced by brave to stand up there and say all that, and now she's being vilified by another group.
