I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
It may be nit-picking! LOL 😆 Thanks for the correction. Also, my ‘smart’ phone has a mind of its own and makes silly corrections to make me look dumb!
But I love love love knit-picking, because you ALWAYS have to fish those stitches when you drop. Gads, I ruined more stuff and can still not make anything more useful than a hot pad.
My maternal grandmother’s family came to America from Germany. She and my mother knitted using the German method.
I learned how to knit the German way as well. It’s easier and faster. I haven’t done any knitting in years though. I do enjoy sewing, making jewelry and other craft projects.
The German way of knitting eliminates the need to wrap the yarn around the needle for each stitch. That’s what makes the process quicker.
It’s hard to explain but I am sure that you could find a diagram of it online.
My mother and grandmother knitted and crocheted beautifully. They did many other handiwork also. My husband’s mother and grandmother did beautiful work also.
My mother and grandmother were the same way. They could knit faster than people who knit the American way. It’s a different technique.
You’re right though, it doesn’t matter what speed someone goes as long as the result is the same.
They had tons of experience and knitting became second nature to them.
There’s always a first, I suppose! I’m sure this was an unexpected surprise to say the least and certainly an unpleasant one for you. 😝
I KNOW ! I was going to take a break , but had to come and whine !!! You can’t make this S4* t up !
I may just say I’m going away next year. The nerve ! What if I wasn’t going to cook next year ? She’s giving me a years notice that we and my children have to be here while she graces us with her presence. I can’t even sleep , I’m so pissed off !!!
Tell your MIL that your entire family is going to give up meat for your New Year’s resolution so there won’t be any turkey on the menu. You’re not even going to eat any byproducts of animals because you’re considering becoming vegan! LOL 😝

I’m SoUnhappy, but I think I’m on the path to SoHappy. The court case is going in the right direction.
Very glad to hear your news. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Thanks. You are right . A lot can happen in a year. I’m not so sure she would be well enough to travel a year from now anyway. We went and saw her last month . She looks terrible. She has CLL and is wasting away . She used to be a heavy woman . Her partner told us she doesn’t eat much anymore . Happy Thanksgiving to you too .
Love the vegan idea !! 🤣😂🤣.
Happy Thanksgiving .
Glad to to hear it’s going well . Looks like you have something to be Thankful for !!
Lol, just what I wanted to do today, head to the mall the day after Thanksgiving
I'll be alright, but boy, am I whiny right now. Still in final-paper throes, don't feel like I'm making much headway on it.
I thought this sinus infection turned a corner yesterday. Today it's back. I'll go to doc when I can, guys, promise. I just don't know when that will be.
Happy Thanksgiving, all.
Thank you . Happy Thanksgiving to you too ! You need to go to the doctor before that sinus infection goes to your brain.
Indeed my MIL’s view has always been twisted when it comes to how she thinks she conducts herself .
Perfect example…..She REFUSED to come to our wedding because we said she could not invite all of the 100 + friends/coworkers etc that she wanted . Too many people . She also did not approve of the venue we chose , btw she was not paying . She tried to strong arm us to do other things her way as well . We canceled the wedding and eloped instead . Best thing we ever did because MIL makes every party about HER.
Anyway she twists it around that we excluded her . 🙄☹️
Very smart to elope! What was your MIL’s reaction to your elopement?
So often wedding plans get out of hand. Weddings can become very stressful.
One of my friend’s has a daughter who is a wedding planner. She’s very good at her job and enjoys it. She told me that she rarely has trouble with the bride and groom. She says that the mothers are the ones who are often the most challenging ones to deal with.
I am grateful that my mom or MIL to be never tried to run the show. It’s the bride and groom’s day! Other people shouldn’t interfere in their plans.
You asked what my MIL’s reaction was to us eloping ….
Of course my MIL DID NOT see that HER actions were the reason we eloped . We were supposed to marry in June . We married in March . When DH finally told his parents two weeks later ……
My MIL asked if I was pregnant !
Between both our mothers I should write a book !!
I told my kids , I don’t care . It’s their day , do it their way , just don’t forget to invite me ! Lol. I agree with you , it’s the bride and grooms day ! The mothers should not even be speaking to the wedding planner .
It can be found on Amazon, in various formulations. This had horseradish as one of the ingredients.
My dH was improving, but needed to get to an event the next morning.
I bought everything I thought would help, plus this spray.
He had spent his two weeks sick, and was still in bed when this arrived, delivered by Instacart.
The next morning, he was healed, no sinus pain, cough gone, no nasal congestion.
My URI was behind his by about 3 days. So, I tried it, since I do not usually experience bad sinuses. But, I was afraid it would burn, or something. But the pain! The pain was gone, and after the second dose, I was well.
I don't know why we never try things that cost a little money, but we did order Zinc, Vit. C, Manuka Honey cough drops, Echinacea cough drops (did not like the elderberry), and stuff like that.
Once there is colored gunk, see a doctor for a secondary bacterial infection. imo.
Oh my gosh! Your MIL is a real piece of work!
My husband’s grandmother was like your MIL. She tried to invite everyone to our wedding. She was never a pleasant person. Ever!
