My MIL named her twin daughters Mary and Mary.
No lie. And now you have a pretty good picture of the kind of mother-in-law stories I can tell. And I do have MIL stories!
Happy Mother's Day to all. Family dinner here - You??? nm

God will deal with Kennedy about Kopechne. In the meantime, I'm glad

Doesn't offend me to hear Happy Holidays, Happy Hannuka...sm
or any way someone wants to greet me. As a basic rule, people use the greeting most comfortable to the speaker. What does burn my butt is when someone tries to tell me that my comfortable greeting of "Merry Christmas" is not appropriate. To those who are not concerned with my comfort, I have no concern for theirs.
Merry Christmas to all.
To Mary
I understand about liability and I am still responsible for him.....the only thing is....I want everybody to understand is that.....I DID NOT PUT HIM OUT....He is always welcome to come home, visit, etc...but he will not have access to MY HOUSE to come and go as he pleases......
Well Mary was only supposed to be 13-14 and . . .
not everybody believes it was an immaculate conception.
Mary Winkler
I agree - what a CROCK!!

After viewing the O Show, I feel like Mary W. was secretly abused just like she said, little things would give you the indication, such as feeling like she was going to get into trouble for things that got broken, or for making a mistake. She was very quiet and it seemed like she never wanted to rock the boat so to speak. I am 42 and I remember going through the same things with my scared mom and abusive alcoholic dad. It took my mom 14 years to leave my dad and that was 30 years ago, she had 4 kids and no HS education so I know it was scary for her, but she worked two jobs and I pitched in too. I sometimes thought I could have taken the gun he threatened us with and used it on him instead. I feel she needs a lot of therapy, and so will her children.

the comment about inlaws was interesting. I know some people in Church of Christ, it is very strict on divorce so apparently Mary W. felt trapped in her marriage. It is my understanding that if one gets divorced they have to stay single rest of their life or until the fomer spouse is dead. she was certainly familiar with this doctrine.
On the other hand, how would you feel if you saw your husband sort of smothering your baby because she was crying which is what babies do? It might make you mad enough to do something drastic about it. Best course of action would be to pack up and leave before you shot the man. It is hard to believe that she was in some sort of trance when she picked up the shotgun. But she probably felt trapped with no way out and the cornered rat will bite.....
The shoes and the other perversions if all of thihs is true would also make one very very angry.
I agree that she appeared to be sort of drugged, obviously a sick woman who did something that will haunt her and her family for the rest of her and their lives. She should be allowed visits with her children in a neutral spot, not in the inlaws home.
Birthday wish to justme2....Happy B-day to you, happy B-day to you. now make your wish...

Family is great but I am never back in my hometown where family is... So I always have extended fami
You can always pick your friends your stuck with your family. An Xmas for me is where my husband and kids come home to. It is what you make it!
clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm
You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen?
Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........
in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters? 
She's no woman, she IS 16 y/o. She is playing part of Mary
and she got pregnant by her 19 y/o boyfriend.
If you whistle, it makes the Virgin Mary Cry
(I've had worse things come out of my mouth.)
Mary winkler on Oprah today
Would like to have a discussion on this and other's thoughts, especially after viewing the show or before either way. Very interested to see what she has to say and where are her parents? I would so not want my children with those freaky in-laws.

Ms. Mary Mack!! My kids still play that one!
And they run up to the ice cream truck still and there is a sponge bob ice cream with gum ball eyes or something. Davy Jones! I still have a crush on him, my sis-in-law is president of his fan club, and she got to meet him at Disney once (sounds like Brady Bunch's Marcia). LOL. You are right, things have gotten stressful. But then again, I remember my dad talking about WWI and the depression and having to deliver blocks of ice to people. Though, it seems to me even there were hard times then, people seemed to still be happier than we are today. Seems like things changed after 911, at least to me. I try to keep my kids sheltered (I know that is terrible), but my 7 year old is in love with girls, my 8 year old knows all the pirate words already and all 3 of my kids including the 10 year old could probably tell me things I did not even want to know until the third year of college. My goodness! I am sounding like gasp, My Mother! LOL.
Summer. Friends or family? Family. Tired or Awake?

I love having a Mary Spirit in a Martha World
I am reading the second book it is called having a Mary Spirit, love it!!!!
Mary Winkler leaves near me. It is all over the news today - SM
Her in-laws are trying to get a junction to stop the local station from airing the episode of Oprah today.
Mary, I offer my prayers for the safety of your sons. SM
I thought brothers could not be in battle zones at the same time. Did they choose to?
Bloody Mary for breakfast, extra vodka! lol

Happy Bikrthday to me, happy birthday
Unbelievable, I have reached the age of 65- where did the years go?? I would retire but gosh, darn just love this work so much, want to keep on working. Hubs had me a delicious huge chocolate cake this morning and daughter coming over for pizza tonight, oh forgot working today also but like I said, hard to give this terrific life up, that is a life in between my working!
I thought Nigel was great but wasn't too impressed with Mary...
I am sure she was good back in the day but she seemed a bit slow and rusty to me...would have loved to see Mia dance..
Big difference between family values and family jewels, eh? lol
LOL. I love this show. I think Gene and Shannon and her sister are a riot! What characters. It really is amazing to me the kids seem so laid back and so normal. They seem like great kids.
Does your family still do the early Sunday dinner w/family?
s
Mary Kay's Intense Moisturizing Cream is what I use at night after I use the Timewise Age-fightin
moisturizer. It is amazing. My face is very soft and supple (can you tell I'm an MT?). I have an extra one if you need one. It cost me 30.00
SIL family, us and another family snacked,played

Happy Birthday to you, then you can wish me a happy birthday on Friday! sm
Aquarians Rule!!!!! LOL
Most men would be happy for a new toy.
My sister got me a toy many moons ago, I named it gumby. My son was 2 at the time and found it DURING a dinner party I was having. He ran into the room waving "gumby" over his head yelling that everyone should look at this sword. My mouth hit the floor and my friends just about peed in their pants laughing. :-)
Happy 4th everyone!!! (sm)
If you're off, have a wonderful day and enjoy it for all of us. If you're working (like me), I hope we can keep productive and make it through another day with little or no downtime. Again, Happy 4th of July!!!!
happy for you!
congratulations! I hope to be debt free myself one of these days, and once I get out of debt, to be smart enough to stay out!
Enjoy the good feeling that you are getting out of all your hard work! 
***** LOL, that should say I think you CAN be happy... ****
Sorry, didn't get enough sleep lastnight and it has been a long day already. My 2 month old is not feeling well.
Happy 62 B-Day to you! nm

Happy. nm

I'm so happy
What great news. I hope she stays on the right track. I'll continuing sending prayers.
They look so happy!
Are they all from the same litter? Brothers and sisters? Come on....tell us a little more about them! They must be quite the handful!
Looks like a happy pup to me!
You know your dog better than anyone, and you know if he's happy. My mom had a dog that would bark over every little thing and it made me not want to visit her. It hurt my ears so bad I almost couldn't stand it. She would put a bark collar on her when guests came over to spare them the assault on their ears, and we all appreciated it, let me tell you! She tried several other methods, but they just didn't work on her dog. Dogs are all different, just like kids.
I used to live in a duplex and the people next door had the most horrible barking dogs. It really made my time in that place miserable. I was pregnant and tired all the time but could not get a nap to save my life because of those darn dogs! The owners have a responsibilty to the neighbors to keep their dogs fairly quiet in my opinion. I am an animal lover (also a long-time vegetarian), but those dogs grated on my last animal-loving nerve! Keep taking good care of your dog - he looks quite content and loved to me!
I think you should be happy
because there is a clinical reason for your troubles and those can be managed with meds and behavioral strategies. Best of luck to you. Please don't let it get you down. Better days are ahead. BELIEVE ME!
Wow! I'd be happy with
half of that!
We did get one snow here in NC that was close to 20 inches, and it was lots of fun, but also challenging because it happened all at once, just like you got, and regular cars can't drive until it's been cleared. Now up in WI, the plows would be on top of it immediately, but here in NC, homeowners were having to use shovels. It was like caveman days for about 4 days here! LOL.
You will be happy to know.....SM
That I called another Kohl's about a half hour away from me yesterday. They had the exact number of plates I needed, as well as other pieces............at 80% off, so I went ahead and got them.
Happy B-Day to me...Happy B-Day to me
Well, I just wanted to share that with all of you wonderful people.
Happy B-Day to you x66, and many, many more..
Wow,
Happy Birthday..and enjoy it to the fullest. Hope it is a very pleasant one...
No, actually I am not happy - sm
I did not ask you to stop "gaming," I simply said there may be a solution to allow 2 Gab Boards so everyone is happy.

How do we know you are really happy? lol

Happy M-day to me
Okay, I'm not a mom but I wish I was. Now I'm just too old to be one (I've lost every bit of patience for small children and getting ready for menopause (and no adoption is out). However, every time I see a small child my heart aches for the child I never had. So many mother's days gone by. No cards, no flowers. No child to wrap their little arms around my neck and say I love you. Spent most of my years going out to brunches to celebrate my mom, my grandma, my DH's grandma and mom, my sister-in-law with her 2 small children. My heart aches for what I never had and never will have. Now my DH kisses me and says happy mother's day from the Cat. Well I'm not as sad as I used to be. Took my sisters son to realize that I no longer want children (that and the Menendez brothers HA HA). So it's happy mother's day to me from the cat, who wakes me up in the morning by jumping on my pillow and rubbing her head against mine saying "wake up mommie, I'm hungry", then runs in front of me watching me to make sure I follow her to the kitchen. While working she will sit on my desk reaching out to touch me fingers while I type away on the keyboard. So happy m-day to me.
