Here's mine: I sometimes get scared on escalators. If I'm going up, and there is no one behind me, I get this terrified feeling that I am going to fall backward down the escalator. If there is a crowd of people, I don't worry. If there is one person behind me, I am extra nervous. If the escalator is especially steep, or goes deep underground, this feeling is awful. That is why if you ever see me on an escalator going up, you will see me clutching the railing with both hands like a maniac and pretending desperately that nothing is wrong. ;)
:grouphug::grouphug:
I used to be scared of escalators too when I was a kid, but I was afraid of them cutting my feet off when you reach the top. Darn you Mr. Bill! :glare:

1. You require a clean floor to help, or a large bed.
2. Spread out the sheet. Bring the fitted corners to meet; tuck one of the corners into the other like a pocket. At this point, the sheet should somewhat resemble a flat sheet folded in half, not a ball of elastic.
3. Turn your attention to the short ends, which are most likely not level. Fold them in towards the center of the sheet just enough to make a straight line on each end. Now, it should be a long rectangle that resembles a folded flat sheet.
4. Fold the outside long edges towards the center; usually if you fold it into thirds, it will look very neat.
5. Fold up the short edges as you would normally fold flat sheets.
6. Admire the most beautifully folded fitted sheets you have witnessed since they came out of the original package. :D
hehehehe Thanks. I'll give it a try. :)

The retinal specialist just called. There was stuff that he did not want to say in front of my daughter. He is strongly urging us to get her checked out because this condition in her eye can be indicative of similar tumors in the brain and that can be a problem. We have a couple of different ways to address this in terms of which medical professionals to consult and are trying to sort that out now. Dd10 does have migraines on occasion and this is cause of some of his alarm. As I said in my other post, the tumor in her eye is not a problem in and of itself. It's the possible corresponding issues - if she even has them - that would be the problem.
Oh no! Praying you get a good report from the neurologist. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

So can you sheet-folding mavens give us a tutorial? I can fold clothes like nobody's business, but fitted sheets confound me. We need a Hive-wide clinic (unless I'm the only one who can't do it, in which case I'll pay extra for a private lesson).
:iagree::iagree: I can't fold one either.

Who is Sheldon Cooper? :confused:

Heidi. :)
That's what came to my mind too. :)
OP What about Sabina?. I knew a German girl with that name.

I'm so sorry. How horrible a thing for you to have to do, but how lucky for that family to have someone so compassionate to do it. :grouphug:
:iagree::iagree:. I'm so sorry Kalanamak. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

It's reasons like this that I pin all the "good stuff" on my pinterest boards.
This one fits perfectly:
Scientists say that the universe is made up of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. They forgot to mention Morons. :D
Or this one:
I need to stop saying "How stupid can you be?" Some people are starting to take it as a personal challenge.
:D
:lol::lol::lol: those are great! :)

IMO, I can't imagine anyone who wasn't raised in a culture for whom multiple spouses is the norm, would tolerate something like this, unless they were terribly lacking in self-worth and self-confidence. Most women would not decide, after 20 years of marriage, that a new live-in lover for the dh would somehow improve the marital relationship. Can you imagine the competition and jealousy and hurt feelings??? I cannot even begin to fathom what's going on in Robin's SIL's head.
:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Stopped by a favorite thrift store today because they often have knitting needles for 50cents a pair. I couldn't find any and made a comment to the lady behind the counter.
"We no longer sell knitting needles here for fear that they can be used as a weapon. This store isn't in the best neighborhood you know."
Then, I go to the kitchen area and they have *3 shoeboxes* FULL of old kitchen & steak knives just sitting there, in the open, marked for sale. You could just reach in and grab one. Really??? Like those couldn't be used as a weapon as well???
:001_huh: :blink:
:lol: I'm sure it made sense to somebody. :p

I am wondering how this would all play out in court if the new partner gets pregnant, if one woman decides to leave, or both women decide to leave, or how alimony would be distributed...? For example, if the new woman gets pregnant and she is not married to him, would they all just pay for medical expenses out of pocket since the new woman is unemployed? Sounds like a situation that could get stressful and complicated.
That's a really good point. I wonder about that too. Especially if, as OP suspects, there is a baby announcement is on the horizon. I agree with Cat too about the bank accounts and properties they own together.
Yeah, but if your dh brought your best friend home with him one afternoon and told you that he'd asked her to move in and be his "new wife," wouldn't you have a bit of a problem with that? :confused:OK, a lot of marriages aren't hot and heavy in the S*x Department after 20 years, but I doubt that most wives would be pleased to learn that their husbands were getting it somewhere else. It's a huge betrayal -- and when there is also an intimate personal relationship and an intense connection with the other woman, I believe that would be incredibly damaging to almost any wife's sense of self-worth, even if there was absolutely no s*x involved.
:iagree::iagree: I know it wouldn't fly in my house at all. :glare:

I sawyesterday, and it made me think of this thread. It is for anyone who has ever tried to explain Doctor Who to someone who has never watched it. :lol:
:lol::lol::lol: Cute. :)

There is a man who works at the counter at my local post office. Every time I go in there I seem to always get him to help me which is fine, he's a nice guy, been there forever, knows everything there is to know about shipping anything, BUT whenever he puts stickers on the package (postage sticker, delivery confirmation stickers) he never smooths it down. He'll just stick it on there and leave the edges up so that they're not stuck down. IT DRIVES ME BATTY!! I always reach over and smooth the sticker down after he sticks it on. I just can't let it go off like that. You just know that sticker edge is going to stick itself to something else and get taken off right? Right? Somebody tell me I'm right! lol
He used to make a face at first when I did it, but now he's used to it and it's become kind of a joke between us. He sticks the sticker on and I smooth it down saying, "you know I have to do it!" and he laughs.
Seriously, I'm getting twitchy just writing about it! :blink:

RE: You're brother not being David Tennant.
Probably a good thing because can you imagine what trouble you'd have been in if you knew David Tennant and didn't tell us. That would not have gone over well on the board.
:lol::lol::lol::lol: True!
Robin, I hope that your mom is doing better with your sister there. How are YOU doing mama? This must be difficult for you to process as well. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

The whole idea of it just exhausts me. I can barely maintain the relationships I already have in life. I can't imagine complicating them further. Obviously these people have more time and energy than I do.
.
LOL :iagree: Me too. I'm exhausted just trying to understand where the SIL is coming from. I'm completely dumbfounded. :confused:

SIL says and I quote with names removed
The first moment brother knew he was attracted to D – in fact had the same sense of connection he’d only felt once before – he sat down with SIL and we discussed it. And we decided to proceed forward, carefully and together, to wherever the path might take us. There has never been any deception or disrespect. And along the way SIL and D found in each other a closer friend than either have ever had.And SIL is not attracted to her sexually? :confused:
Okay, I am truly stumped! I guess I am officially "Old-Fashioned" because I truly cannot wrap my head around this situation at all. Kalamanak's comment about the cow is probably the only thing that comes close in my mind to explaining it, but I still don't understand it. Completely mystified over here.

After a long day of teaching/working/dealing with fishwife's I think we all deserve a break. I've got enough for everyone.
Also, I don't know that I used the aspostrophe in "fishwife's" correctly. Forgive me if I didn't. It's getting late here.
Hear! Hear! :) :cheers2: Everybody! :)

I live to serve!
And sacrifice and serve you do. God bless you and your family! :patriot:

Ooh, have you seen this?!
Mrs. Mungo, you are wonderful beyond all words! Verily I thank thee for thine link. :D
-
You have to watch.
Oh my! hehehehe :lol::lol::lol: I don't know HOW they got through that skit with a straight face! hehehehe That was awesome! :)
-
IMO, he has it coming to him. :glare:
:lol::lol::lol: and :iagree: But I really hope that the SIL gets out of there and that brother gets some sense knocked into him. WTH! It's his wife of 20 years! What the heck is he doing with her bf and why is she putting up with this? :confused::confused:
-
But if someone doesn't specifically ask, I don't consider it dishonest to keep the information private rather than volunteering it. What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their own business. It is NOT lying to keep it that way.
:iagree::iagree: with this. I really miss the days when people's sex lives were private and nobody knew what anyone was doing behind closed doors.

Not here to denigrate anyone else's choice regarding relationships. Perfectly aware there is a variety of family structures.
Found out that essentially other woman is my SIL best friend and their part of relationship is platonic. Yes, brother gets mistress and wife. SIL went into it with open eyes. Told her what they do in privacy of own home was their business. They should have tempered their need to share this wonderful new relationship because of mom's health issues.
None of us would have had a problem with them bringing a best friend to christmas, etc because my family has always welcomed friends of family with open arms. We just didn't need to know brother was slipping down the hall to have some extra nooky.
I'm trying to keep lines of communication open with SIL because my dad has shut down all communication and I don't want to see the family destroyed over this. My brother seems to have buried his head in the sand and is letting SIL handle all. He just can't handle it. (imagine female swoon with hand on forehead.)
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: That is tough. :( In this case, I really hope your SIL takes your father up on his offer to help with the divorce and gets the hell out of Dodge. Her self esteem sounds badly beaten down to allow this. I'm so sorry for the grief this has brought to your parents especially your poor mother. I really can't fathom what your brother is thinking with the way he is handling this situation. Robin, I pray for strength and wisdom for you in dealing with this as I suspect you may wind up as a mediator with SIL to all the other parties of the family. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: to you.
After many years...I finally did it.
