Dear Starla's in-laws,
I concur. Starla is more than capable of running Mr. S's life.
Love,
Roadie
Even more funny because I actively refuse to run Mr S's life. MIL frequently lectures me for things like not making Mr S's doctor's appointments and not forcing him to eat specific foods.
I have a visual of you holding up a forkful of broccoli & saying 'Open up Mr. S! Look, its yummy! Make you grow big & strong! Here comes the airplane!'. How many more days ya got?
I have a difficult enough time making my *own* drs appointments. I can't imagine having to be responsible for my DHs as well.
A few nights ago, when Mr S was working, I made stir fry with basmati rice for dinner. MIL: How do you get Mr S to eat rice? Me: I don't. MIL: You don't? What do you mean? Me: He doesn't like rice, so I make him noodles. MIL: Then why do you make rice? Me: Because I like it, and so do the girls. It only takes 3 minutes to cook Mr S noodles. MIL: You should make him eat the rice. It's healthier. Me: I figure he can choose his own starch. MIL: [Puzzled look]
Repeat, ad nauseum, about asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Mr S eats veggies; he has a healthy diet. I don't give a rat's patootie which veggies he prefers. If I want asparagus I'll microwave two veggies that night. Big whoop. MIL seems to think I should either only cook what Mr S likes or force him to eat things he doesn't like.
I don't know how much longer they'll be here. In theory they leave Thursday, but originally they were supposed to leave Tuesday. Plus, BIL now says he'll be here for Christmas, so I won't be surprised if Mr S's parents plan to stay too.

I realize it's near the end of the year and all, but, I did loan you money while I was travelling. For some reason these trips always come at the time of the year when my savings gets depleted to pay property taxes (that's one of the things I save for). But, you know when I get a travel advance? I have 10 days from the time I take it out to give you an accounting of how it was spent or I get charged interest? I think the same should work in reverse.
I basically loaned you the remainder of my Christmas shopping money. I don't want to tap my savings further. Could you please deposit the money you owe me soon?

My goodness do I understand that! I just now (last week) got my travel money for a trip I took in October. Why did it take so long? First, I put in mileage from my house to the airport. They changed the rules (and didn't tell me) so that I can ONLY claim mileage from work to the airport. So they sat on my travel form until I called. When I asked them why didn't they notify me when they found the "error", their answer was, "We figured you would eventually call...". Once it started grinding through the system, it again stalled because the account # changed (end of year and such). Again, no call, just set the form aside until I called. Of course, then they started getting mad at me when I was calling once a week. THEN they mailed the check to the wrong address. Somehow they found an address I was at over 15 years ago. All previous checks had been sent to my current home address, but for some reason, this time they found the old Madison address to mail it to. Thank goodness the letter came back, "No such person", because had they been required to cancel the check, it would have been ANOTHER month, and with the holiday season, it would be late January before I got the check. So now they mail it to my work address, which is fine, but the name is somehow garbled, so it gets to my building.... and sits....and sits. I then do a trace on it to find out where it went and found it in the mail room. I find out they are not allowed to open the envelope to find out who the check is for. Since the name was garbled, I actually was also not allowed to open it, but the mail folks told me to go ahead and if it were NOT my check, I would be in violation of the law. I took the chance and it was my check.
The university used to be good at getting travel money back to me before the credit card bills showed up. Now with their "modern" Banner system, it takes a month or two.
Sorry for the hijack, I am just still burned by this whole mess (and am not looking forward to future travel...).

Oh bummer! I don't mind if it's bad because it's supposed to be bad (Men in Tights, I'm looking at you), but if it's just bad... *sigh* Oh well, I'll see it at least once when/if it gets to BBCAmerica, and decide if it's so bad I can't stand it. I compare every Robin Hood to the 1980's Michael Praed show, so I think that actually sets the standard pretty high, and it's still my favorite. So far, my next favorite was the 1991 version with Patrick Bergin and Uma Thurman. I like the darker aspects of both of those, and they seemed to at least try for a period look.

We have Banner as well. It is teh ebil. Seriously, it used to be I would fill out a form, have the powers that be sign it, and I would be reimbursed in a week.
Sadly, since my bankrupcy, I do not have a credit card, so this money actually came out of my checking account.

Our name for when things go wrong in Banner (and they ALWAYS do) is "Bannyerism" (As in, "I tried to get your check printed, but I had another bannyerism..."). It would be funny if it were not so painfully true...
I've heard NO good things about Banner, yet EVERYONE seems to be going to it. Is it owned by Haliburton?

Seaboe, Mr S and I are going out to dinner, but not until after the girls have dinner. After their dinner we're doing cake (another rant-- my cake is leftover cupcakes I made for Starlet's class party), and then Mr S and I will go out. At the rate my day is going, I am expecting to be asked what I plan to cook the in-laws and my daughters.
Hoping I'm Wrong, Starla

There is a difference between having a relationship that starts on the board which ends up coming up in posts and using the board as one's playground to flaunt the relationship. How Remarkgullable and LtCC handled their relationship on this board was very different from the many other couples who post on and/or met through this board.
Remarkgullable and LtCC were also warned in detail about exactly what the backlash would be if they continued. They were told that people were getting very sick of all of the the threads splaying their relationship across the board. They chose to ignore it and go full steam ahead.
