A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh my god. Tim's dad is all "I don't see any fire on weather.com," no matter how many times Tim tells him to do a NEWS SEARCH. We are driving literally into the wildfire area. This is fucking insane. I'm actually really freaked out about it. I'm actually hoping that we wake up tomorrow and there are mandatory evacuations.

I *want* to go to the beach, damn it. I really really do. This is my 40th birthday and I want to go to the beach. But I don't want to willingly, knowingly, drive into a 20,000-acre wildfire to do so.

I feel like his family isn't taking me seriously, when all they have to do is FUCKING GOOGLE IT.

Okay. This is where having in-laws is really hard, isn't it? When they want to BURN YOU TO DEATH?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Okay, *I* found air quality alerts and dense smoke alerts for NC. On weather.com even.

I mean, yes, news would be a better search. But if he demands his fire news from weather.com, well, there's your link for him.

In-laws hard. Hell, all family hard. Other people are all stressy and think differently. Not always in an Apple ad way either. Sometimes they are just stressy.

I'm done with productivity for the day.

SO much this! I'm watching TV! I haven't been in the living room for 3 weeks! I forgot how much fun it can be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

In-laws are harder than family in my opinion because you can't just say, "Hey, you're being a fucking idiot. Cut it out." Or maybe that's just me and my family.

Our wings are not tired

I'll take my in-laws over my family.

I'd take your in-laws over most of my family too.

Because you scored in the in-law draw.

You rock! Although I think he's still being all "Oh, just a little wildfire? Well, it'll rain on Saturday and put it out!"

::sigh::

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I haven't been married so technically have never had in-laws, BUT the families associated with all my long-term relationships have all been WAY crazier and more crazy-making than mine. And mine? Was not sane.

The possibility of not-the-fun-kind crazy in-laws in one of the many things that makes me draw back in fear from the thought of entering another relationship.

I would like those magazines, if no one else does. I will happily pay postage and even a little handling, too!

Delighted! I need to price packaging for the size of mags they are (old Life magazine size, by the looks) but I should have a figure in a couple of days. You can send your mailing address to my profile addy.

I'm so glad a Buffista is getting these! Someone will enjoy--and maybe use!--them and I'll feel virtuous about having a little more space.

Now I just need to decide what to do about my baby book, which my mother never filled in until I asked why my two sisters' baby books were carefully maintained and mine was blank.

My in-laws are pretty all right; it's the craxy ex I have to worry about! Things have been pretty quiet though. (Knock wood.)

Wow, commercials are stupid.
