luuknam Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think I found it. Trying to be the voice of reason and moderation in a hot button topic is like putting a giant bullseye on your face. Eta, not that I'm blaming you, luuknam. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/646189-sued-for-texting-on-a-date/ And like I said last night, I did somewhat exaggerate what happened. Fun fact: I told my wife the same thing, and she went "OMG, what did you say this time?!", and I told her what I said, and she's like "that's all??". I can be very blunt and non-PC and stuff, but that really was quite tame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Girls are complicated and emotional. Boys are simpler. Obviously there are exemptions, but I find boys personalities much less stressful. I've felt this way since I was like 4. Semicolon! :001_wub: Boys are complicated and emotional too, they just hide it better and end up with heart disease in their 50s. My DS is at least as much work or maybe more than all 3 of his sisters combined. He's the oldest and has always been more difficult than them. I know...exceptions...but I don't think there's a rule for this. Boy friendships, however, seem on a whole to be a little more steady and easier. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My mom disagrees. #imtheoldest FWIW, my brother did make it easy for me to be easier. When he was a little kid he'd run off in the time it took my mom to lock her bike, and then in elementary school he got in trouble for kicking a door when he was mad, and in secondary school he got diagnosed with an ASD, and proceeded to get kicked out of 5 or 6 secondary schools, ending up without a high school diploma, and eventually getting on disability and into assisted living. I'm hardly a saint, but when that's the competition, it's easy to come out ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I'll try that salmon idea! It will use up a small portion of the 2 family-size boxes of Ritz and 1 box of club crackers. I'm not in danger of "using up all of DH's Ritz crackers", since there are so many. Tiny muffins are also a good idea! Anybody got a good idea for some things to do with more rustic crackers?

Susan in TN Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I am packed except for phone charger & cords. I cleaned out my purse. I'm guessing there's no need for me to bring 3 sets of violin strings. Or 750 grocery receipts. Or expired coupons. Dh tried for 1 1/2 hours to get an Uber at LaGuardia and gave up after 3 cancellations. He had to cancel all his New Jersey meetings. Looks like with the construction, mile long double line of cars, and crowd of 300 people, nobody is going anywhere fast. He's now in line for a taxi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look like such a motivated homeschooling mother. :laugh: In reality, I'm a lazy ass and found the easiest way to do CC is to play everything by song incessantly in the van all year long while I drive to the Starbucks drive-thru.
