Wow! Just got an email from SIL asking if we want to chip in on MILs b-day dinner
Posted By: no acceptance on 2007-09-24
In Reply to: Married 23 years. Never an invite to anything from - no acceptance
How unusual. She sent it to my DH's email address, as well, so I deleted it and left it for him to answer. She did say in her email, though, that she and the others had talked about it and planned the dinner already -- chose the restaurant, time and menu. Now that they've made all the decisions, we're invited to go, four days from now. So, sounds like we're an afterthought again. I guess one of them must have realized that their mother might miss one of her sons if he didn't show up to dinner.

I am sure in would break my MILs heart too but - sm
we spent the day up there for TG; my FIL spent about 10 minutes watching them play outside, then retreated to his recliner and read a book the whole day; my MIL spent absolutely no time with them at all; after all her whining that she doesn't get to see the kids much, and no she was not busy in the kitchen for the 8 hours we were there. I pointed this out to my DH because I don't think he believed me when I said the times I have gone there to spent the night there with the kids, they barely interact with them. So I am sick of their whining (my In-laws) about not spending enough time with the kids.....my MIL couldn't resist a couple digs either but I just ignored them, maybe if she had actually played with them I'd bring them up more...my BIL actually played with them most of the time....
As women, I think we all tend to have issues with our MILs...
No one is ever good enough for their sons, kind of thing--lol
Just like a potato chip, can't pick just one!
300, Forest Gump, Bram Stokers Dracula, 50 First Dates.
Those are probably my top ones that I never get sick of watching. I have a pretty huge movie collection and pretty much only buy ones that I really love though. I'm a fan of most all types of movies.
Chocolate chip cookies! Who needs anything else? -nm
Mint chocolate chip ice cream!
Yummy and refreshing!
**Click here for MammaMT's picture of Chip!**
Don't freak out on me MammaMT but I did a sneaky and just "right clicked" on the red X there, which told me the link to Chip's picture off photobucket, copied that picture to my machine, cropped it and resized it, and put it on my website temporarily to display it here. Whew! Hope that made sense!
He sure is a cute little fella! A heart melter for sure!
AW he is soooo cute. We just adopted Chip last week - sm
He is what the shelter called a beagle mix, but if he is mixed with anything I will eat my hat... Okay I do not have a hat, but I would be surprised...LOL.
Here is a pic of him..

I hope your transition is as easy as ours was. We have 2 other rescue doggies, both lab mixes and female and the three of them were fast friends. Of course we have no diningroom left with 3 creats in it, but who cares...
Bologna sandwich with chocolate chip cookies. ew sm
and of course can't forget my daughter eating green beans with ketchup (they are like French fries mom!)
How to make chocolate chip cookes flat and chewy
Does anyone know how to make a chocolate chip cookie that are flat and chewy. Mine have been coming out thicker, but they go hard fast too. DH told me I used to make them flatter and chewier, but I don't remember switching recipes (I use the recipe on the back of the chocolate chips).
Hot fudge brownie/mint choc chip ice cream sundae!
If I'm only allowed one, I want to squeeze a lot in there! lol
email
I use AOL. i've tried drag and drop but that didn't work. 
I would just email them and say
Thanks for sending the work early, I will get on it first thing tomorrow. Enjoy your holiday!
Would you like for him to email you?
I don't think he thinks of himself as a poor kid. He is 21 now and is a real estate agent and in his last year of college. He is one of the best young men that you would ever want to meet. If you had a daughter, believe me you would want him for a son-in-law. And that's no joke.
Well, can we just ask WHY you don't take it to email?
I think there are way more of us that find it more odd than cute. lol
TLR-look for email!!
Hey!! I must have missed something here,but I'm glad becauseI wouldn't want it to mess up a good morning I'm having. I would love to read your lyrics!! Oh, you know who and I just got back from having cappuccino on the patio at one of our favorite hauntings!! When I say these 2 words to him in the morning "coffee and cookies" he goes crazy and then he starts barking when I pull up to the coffee shop!
Cat - regarding your email to me...sm
Hi Cat: You emailed me but I'm not sure why. You don't know anything about me nor if I have currently any connection to the VA. I have been fighting for this govt to take care of our veterans for the past 20 years. I used to transcribe for the VA in Miami 20 years ago.
I did LOVE your post about sending in the politician's kids to fight ANY war - like that's ever going to happen!! It's a rare politician whose kid(s) go to war.
Have a GREAT weekend!!
Keepin' the faith!!
I just sent you an email.
We are so alike, and I see the poster below is going through the same thing.
Email
Just sent you an email.
sent you an email...:)

Been there/done that. You can email me if you'd
like but what you wrote sounds almost exactly what I lived for years. Sometimes I'm surprised I didn't just leave. I'm still here; stepson is still in the picture too, and I've grinned and beared it since he was 6 (now he's an adult).
Email me if you'd like.
i tried to email you sm
i tried to email you but i got an email back saying they couldn't send it, probably your spam blocker or something. anyway, i always heard that giving a dog a bath once a month was plenty. so that's what i do.
good luck with your new baby!!!
you are welcome. I am going to email you
you can add me to your friends list. Good Luck!
well just email me through here if you want some
:)
Me too, have gotten this in my email - sm
before, it obviously struck a nerve though. Political correctness rears its ugly head again, guess jokes are out on this forum.
what email program are you using? nm
zzzz
I just answered your email *S*
A friend sent them to me in an email....sm
and somehow was able to get the original shots with nothing blacked out. OOPS, she definitely did it again! In a big nasty way. Ewww. LOL
Please check your email.

Know anyone can send email...
I said sent in error and that is what happened, not that you had anything to do with this, you did not. Apparently by saying independent and asking about how to send in taxes, this person thought I was maybe owner of a company. Maybe rereading the post I held no one accountable, no one. I would never respond to a post like this because of it being from India and just too many scammers out there for me. The first sentence says - - I don’t know where they got my email unless this site is giving it out - this sentence did not come from me.
I sent you an email with the URL of a website that
.
email me for answers
My son is a realtor and has experience in this sort of sell. I don't know where you are located but I'm sure he will have some good information for you. You are probably sitting on a goldmine. Where we live, the same thing is happening. Older homes on the water are being bought and torn down to build mansions - just feel lucky that you are probably going to make a mint when you do decide to sell.
THis is so weird because I had an email
from Paypal this morning confirming a purchase and I don't even have a Paypal account!!! I checked my bank account quickly but that seemed all in order. I sent the email to spoofpaypal.com for them to look into it.
Hayseed! I sent you an email!
I love your ornaments! They are awesome!
Would you like an email pal to correspond with ?
If so respond to me by email and we can chat through email. God bless!
Jan Setzer
I would email him, as this seems to be part of (sm)
his modus operandi stating: "I cannot afford to go out with you anymore, so, it is OVER! OH...I forgot the "You're a liar and a cheapskate!!!!
I am dead serious. Get out of that....whatever kind of ????ship you call it.
I don't mind at all that you sent my email along.
There is plenty of training material available to scout leaders on the transition period and how to help the boys stay in scouting. There are videos, training sessions run by people like me, written material, etc. It's out there. It's just hard to get it through some of the leaders' brains that the boys need to be treated like boys in transition, and not like army recruits. I really applaud you for being willing to go out on the trips with the troop. That is also a hard thing to do with so many men around. I looked very carefully when my boys were crossing over to scout troops. We are fortunate in our area to have many troops to choose from. We found a great troop headed by mostly even-thinking adults who had no problem with a woman joining them. It's not perfect, and every now and then, some sexist fool says or does something stupid, but nothing is ever insurmountable in that regard. Know that having women leaders is a unit option, which means that the chartering organization can decide that no girls are allowed, so to speak. This is sometimes done for religious reasons. Other times it's just sort of a tacit tradition. I didn't have to overcome that issue, and in fact, when it was discovered that I had been camping all my life and was an avid solo backpacker, I got the job of teaching the boys about backpacking, too. Our troop welcomed all volunteers who were willing to be trained and who could commit to helping the boys.
I do hope it works out for your son. If you do join as a leader, be sure that you take advantage of all the training opportunities available to you. Your troop should have a training coordinator or advancement chair who knows when training is offered. (By the way, are the adult leaders of this troop fully trained? That's VERY important.) As a GSUSA leader, you should understand the value of training. The Girl Scouts really do a great job of requiring leaders to be trained. BSA councils and districts, however, sometimes vary on how strict they are on training requirements. Don't be afraid to help out. You're doing this for your son, and that really is a great motivator. And what's really cool is that most of us start out wanting to help our own sons, but in the process we help so many other boys and parents along the way.
Good luck!

i am a coward, so i won't email you

I tried to email you and it wouldn't let me
Everything sounds pretty obvious on what to do, but can you send me the recipe for the peanut butter kiss cookies please? Thanks!
yes, still in touch, by email. also, a really, sm
really good friend to both of us. best man at our wedding and whom I loved very much. died Nov 2. I am still mourning the loss.
I sent an email to someone on here today, on just how bad off are you
and I really mean this from the bottom of my heart. This person said they were having trouble paying their house note or rent, not sure right now which one. I never got an answer but let me just say sometimes there are people out here who want to help you, me being one of those. I asked about her situation, how much she owed and to tell me something about her family. I might get hateful postings because of my saying this and you may not think I mean it but I do things like this a lot. I love to give but … I pick and choose the ones I feel could really use the assistance. I now will not be answering any emails but I just wanted to let people know sometimes there are ones around who care. I have gotten so much from helping others. Stories that I read, things I see on television that touch my heart and from what I do I get so much more back than I could ever give away.
She just sent me a LONG email
basically saying how we're trying to screw her over when she has always been there for us and telling us how "irresponsible" we both are. WHATEVER! I didn't even respond, but I soooooo wanted to, but my husband and my parents told me that a response is probably what she is looking for and to not reply. This email was well over a page long. It was ridiculously insane!
If I were you, I would rebut her email, because
if you don't she might see it as her victory.
State in your email that she 'verbally' agreed to the amount of $ 400.-- and her husband agreed $ 500.-- for the renovation of the basement = total $ 900.-- and you gave him $ 1,000.--.
I got your email, sent you the recipe, ...
if you don't get it let me know will resend.. :D
Hi Patty - I just sent you an email
