I'd take your in-laws over most of my family too.
Because you scored in the in-law draw.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

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.
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!"

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Okay. This is where having in-laws is really hard, isn't it? When they want to BURN YOU TO DEATH?
That's when I had the most trouble with in-laws, yes.

Eh, I figure other peoples' crazy is not mine, so it tends not to make me as insane as my own. Mine installed my buttons and know just how to push them...while other people find my family amusing or charming, and I find them insane-making and embarrassing.

The status is NOT quo.

Yep. This is how I deal with my in-laws. They get much further under ND's skin than mine.
I'll take my in-laws over my family.

This is also true. My parents have their issues, but they are both truly kind and generous people who love to laugh. Can't ask for much more than that.
