This is an exchange between my husband and I from a couple nights ago:


Me: Are you eating?
Him: Yes, why?
Me: You're being a pig!
Him: Pfft.
Me: Moooo!

We're going to my SIL's for Thanksgiving and there will be a house full. Being how no one there was able to try the Nanaimo Bars I made, I'm going to bring some, and I found some Birds Custard in one of the local stores here!!! ( Where was it before?? laughing.gif) There was a small international spot and there it was. They also had Areo bars...for $1.57!! Plus HP sauce.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!



I had those for the first time recently. YUUUUMMMMM!!!!!

I asked Peachey to make me more!

Peachey has been enjoying it quite a bit. There's a lot programs in it to do.

The wii fit + also has a way to track steps taken outside the program as well as any other excersize you might do (I have a treadmill at my place).

Lol The house next door to ours was just bought and I guess the folks were moving in this morning. Only problem was they rented a U-Haul truck and blocked the entire lower part of my driveway so my wife couldn't get out to to go work. She walked over and politely asked for them to move it and they had some attitude about it and asked why she wasn't already at work. I'm going to go home tonight and if it's in any way blocking my driveway I'm going to start some ####### Lol.


I have a friend in the Detroit area who could take care of them for you.

It's interesting how different people see home ownership! I am 100% uncomfortable with not owning a house. There is the whole privacy issue - but just from a money perspective, paying money towards someone elses investment when we could be making our own investment is just abhorrent to me.

Different personality types I suppose.


If my rent weren't ridiculously cheap, I would agree with you. However it is, and it hasn't gone up in 8 years.

My landlords are decent, and replace stuff when it breaks without hassling me too much.

I can't justify doubling my payments to get a place to live, just because it's "an investment".

Especially with what some of my friends and families "investments" did recently.

Amaretto is such a versatile liqueur. It can go in coffee. It can go in hot chocolate. It can go in tea. It makes a great amaretto sour. It can even go on ice cream or cake. One should always keep a bottle of amaretto in their liquor cabinet. lol

Sleepy day here.. got to bill someone a couple hundred bucks just to listen to them aurgue about what I was going to do for awhile... that was fun.

Would have been more fun if I could have done it with a pillow.

The border guard going into Canada gave me a _really_ hard time this time. She started asking lots of questions regarding my proof that I was going to return... it was late or I would have noticed what she was doing.

At one point she went "SIR YOU _DOO_ KNOW THE PENALTIES FOR ILLEGALLY IMMIGRATING INTO CANADA?!?"

Good thing I was sitting down. My face went red and I was stammering. Thankfully I had a copy of my NOA2 to prove that Peachey was moving down, not me up.

Still, she didn't have to be so mean.. I answered every question quickly, truthfully, and "correctly."

After I cross the border, calls get super expensive. So I pulled over and txt'd Peachey... when I txt I try to shorten stuff... so I texted Peachey

"Borderguard thought I was trying to pull a Kittyfang."

VarbaMaleCanada2009-09-04 10:22:00
CanadaIs this too much to ask?
Thanks everyone for your support, as we deal with, and vent here about this retardedness.

Just a couple things I wanted to mention about some of the posts.

1) Rest assured, I am _not_ leaving Peachey alone to deal with this insanity. Just for some reason I can not make my sister see the light. My mom seems to have the attitude of "whatever your sister wants I want, because I don't get to see your sister often." I have argued with my sister at least once a month since politely asking if Peachey's MIL could attend in May.

I spent over an hour talking with my mom directly and frankly about it, even telling her that I found her actions rude. I can not seem to get my point across.

Both of them say they completely understand where I are coming from, but will not back down. Out of frustration, I asked them why. Simplified, this was their response.
Mom: It's a private event, and keeping it that way is important to your sister. I would never expect to be invited to anyone else's Christmas.
Sis: I haven't gotten to see my family for a whole year, I want time just with "us". I don't think it's fair we're planning Christmas around your MIL.

During my conversations with my sister, it has become obvious that she has painted her own little happy world where, I'm the bad guy. She has convinced herself that I:
a) Imposed myself upon them inviting Peachey's MIL without asking them (which is untrue, I have IM logs from the first time I asked her).
cool.gif That I will not compromise. (which is true, my sister's "compromise" has no compromise for us, only her)
c) Am being rude by not allowing her to buy plane tickets up, by withholding my "choice" of a date for Christmas. (What she means by this is, she assumes I will go with her compromise of moving Christmas to a new date, and therefor by me not accepting, she can't book her flights - as I won't tell her when she can come up for Christmas with us.)

Just please don't think I'm leaving Peachey out there all alone to deal with my family on this. I have tried so many times I lose track.

2) I have a very open relationship with Peachey. I told her from the beginning I will truthfully answer any question she asks me, and I have stuck to this. I have lied, everyone has. But when I do, I tell her. Yeah, that one night I had a burger when I said it was a salad.... =(

So please don't continue along the path of "it's just what your future husband says".

3) I'm to the point where I'm pissed off enough at my family to just not go to Christmas at all. In fact I was going to tell them that before Peachey talked to my sister directly about it.

My sister for some reason, seems more receptive to listening to Peachey than to myself. I think it's because she might realize (when she's talking with Peachey directly) that what she's asking/demanding is quite RUDE.

4) Precedents. One thing my sister harps on is she only wants Christmas to be "only us" (aka: no MIL) this "one time". I called her on it and said "ok, so if she's down another year she'd be invited?" Answer "Well, we'd have to talk about it that year." I then said "So essentially, this is going to be a giant fight every time she might be possibly invited unless we work out whatever problem you have with her coming." My sister then changed the topic.

I will not allow this to be a precedent. I'm fully aware that if it becomes one, Peachey's MIL will never be invited ever again.

Peachey and I came here because the lawyers I talked to quoted me 5-7 THOUSAND dollars for the process.

I love Peachey, and if it really did cost that much that's what we'd do... but those prices are just ridiculous.
