OT - Forn Friday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

'Forn' is 'food' and 'p0rn' combined. With subzero temps across the U.S. (I, personally, enjoy these temps AND the snow!), let's talk about comfort food. Hearty, savory, belly warming comfort food. Food that cooks/bakes for hours while you cuddle up on the couch or in your favorite chair wearing fleece pants and fuzzy socks, with a good book/magazine or watch a movie or 3 or an entire season of your favorite tv show. Food that perfumes the entire house, making your nose quiver and your mouth water. Mmmmmmmm.....

BioHo is mad at DH

Call the WAHHHHHHHHMUBULANCE!!!

PrincASS came home for Christmas. His flight got in very late Wednesday night. Thursday morning, BioHo called DH, SCREECHING because PrincASS was G-O-N-E. No, he didn't grab his duffle bag and go back. He had the NERVE to LEAVE HER HOUSE WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING.

DH told 'Ho:
PrincASS is 18yo.
He's in the Army.
PA is an adult. His boss is the Army. Period. Dot.

The skids got NUTTIN for Christmas...

DH had NOTHING up his sleeve (I check carefully for stray dryer sheets) and did not buy the skids so much as a breath mint for Christmas.

He did, however, buy me a new, SPECTACULAR wedding band with 20, yes TWENTY, diamonds in it. You could have knocked me over with a feather. I opened the box and my mouth was hanging open for a solid minute.

DH: Baby, don't you like it??
Me: YES!! It's so beautiful and I'm so surprised!!

Then I burst into tears.

OT - It’s The Most Horrible Time Of The Year

It’s The Most Horrible Time Of The Year

Sung to the tune of "It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"

It's the most horrible time of the year
When the skids are all yelling
And DH is telling you Just Drink More Beer
It's the most horrible time of the year

It's the crap-crappiest season of all
BM’s verbal beatings, crisis custody meetings
When your lawyers call
It's the crap-crappiest season of all

bets that SD21 WILL come over for Christmas

SD21 is mad at DH. Why? Because she spouted off some BS "fact" and DH corrected her on it. So now SD is p!ssed and DH isn't sure if she'll come over for Christmas.

I'm willing to bet my eyeteeth she WILL be here because SHE WANTS THAT GIFT CARD!

Won't she be surprised when she finds out she isn't getting one... }:)

OT - Tone-up Tuesday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

2017 is coming to a close and, for many of us, we have 2 more big eating/drinking days. Some will be going to multiple holiday celebrations and facing even MORE tasty tidbits, which can lead to overindulgence (but it tastes so gooooood!!! or it's soooo pretty!!).

Survival Tips:

1. DO NOT ARRIVE HUNGRY. Have a snack before you go to the party - a protein/carb combo will help keep you full. Try whole wheat toast with almond/cashew/peanut butter and strawberry slices.

Money-hungry SDs will NOT be happy

BioHo trained her daughters well. What are men good for? Getting a bay and money, money, MONEY. The ONLY time the SDs call DH is when they want money. Other than monetary requests, he never hears from them.

Yesterday he told me that he will not be able to give any of the skids the usual gift card (y'know, MONEY). He hasn't worked any over time since summer and is still paying off the medical bills from his hospital stay. So that means the ONLY gifts are for his step-grandkids. His kids/skids get N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Call the Waaaaaaaaahm-bulance!!!

Blended Families

Aniki-Moderator's picture

I found this to be an interesting article. Not all step families blend. I recently read a comment somewhere about stepfamilies that the husband and wife are the foundation of the home and, without a strong foundation, the family unit will crumble. I agree. Who is left in that home after the kids/skids launch? The spouses/partners.
