My daughter when asked what she wants for Christmas. "Crayons" And what else? "Paper." - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 09:55 8
- That is fantastic. - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 10:01 1
  - that is an awesome idea -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 10:04
- 10 years from now: "my own XBox and 6 games." - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:58 1
  - Enjoying it to the fullest. It only gets more expensive from here. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 10:00
- Thank God. -- nm - Walls Nov 19, 09:57
- And you know in the back of her mind she was pulling a mara. - musubi Nov 19, 09:57 1
  - She has a look in her eyes that says this perfectly. In fact I cant think of anyone that has more expressive eyes than she does. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 09:59
- awesome! -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:56
BB - for those that green bean casserole - do you use fresh, frozen, or canned beans? - JenBro Nov 19, 09:52 7
- fresh if available, otherwise canned. -- nm - decline Nov 19, 09:57
- fresh -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 09:56
- Frozen. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 09:55
- No. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:55 1
  - see ... I said ... "for those that green bean casserole" - that's not you silly - go away and play -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 09:56
- frozen. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 09:54
- canned french style is the only way to go. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 09:53
I think the MIL and the DIL are idiots, FWIW. How hard is it to tell the lady whatever she wants to hear and then - Jim Nov 19, 09:51 23
- At our kids births, only the people we invited to show up, showed up. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:55 6
  - Bah...I disagree. They want to share the moment. They want to offer their congratulations. - Jim Nov 19, 09:56 5
    - Old school hospitals with the room full of babies, maybe. - Spawn Nov 19, 10:00
    - Alll of which should happen after mom and baby are comfy at home. - musubi Nov 19, 09:58 3
      - Liek I said, the day after all family was welcome to come to the hospital and see and hold. But that first day was *ours*. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 10:01
      - Yep...still don't understand that. But whatever...that's your deal. Mine is that i don't care. - Jim Nov 19, 09:59 1
        
        which is totally cool. but if Carrie did care, you'd honour that. - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:03
- [deleted] 15
  - "Yeah, my son's head was out when I left the room to come and tell you, so he has probably been born by now. See ya in an hour." -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:55
  - I wonder if the girl also told HER mom not to be there. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 09:54 13
    - [deleted]
    - she gets to decide that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:55 11
      - guess the husband has no say in the matter then? nm - Jim Nov 19, 09:58 10
        
        He gets a say, but ultimate veto goes to the person who experiences the physical stress of birth. There's a chain of command and mom is at the top. - musubi Nov 19, 10:00 2
        
        *bangs on the door of the Situation Room* LET ME IN! -- nm - Hillary Nov 19, 10:01 1
        
        I'm in charge here. -- nm - MIL Haig Nov 19, 10:06
        
        fwiw, I don't think that's necessarily bitchy behavior at all. - b. Nov 19, 10:00 5
        
        I could understand that if we're talking delivery room. Not the waiting room. - Jim Nov 19, 10:01 4
        
        it's not just the baby, it's the mom. - b. Nov 19, 10:05
        
        Because she's *physically having* the baby. My mom saw our kids after my MIL, it wasn't a choice of favoring one or the other for the kids. - musubi Nov 19, 10:03 1
        
        I just don't understand this line of thinking and I'm so glad Carrie didn't feel that way. - Jim Nov 19, 10:07
        
        I agree with the all or nothing. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 10:02
        
        Given the rough argument that she wanted no one there; I'd say this is all complete speculation...ST's favorite kind of argument -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:59
*doesn't pay attention, doesn't pay attention, doesn't pay attention*...*gets asked a question*...*spouts bullshit...gets away with it -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:50 2
- Congratulations on your promotion. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:53
- Why are you transcribing that last 5 meetings I attended? (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:50
from the backboards... Canada has a profitable postal service, and they like our health care ... so ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 19, 09:49 18
- i assure you, no canadian is trading our health care for yours. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 09:51 12
  - [deleted]
  - What does it cost in the US to go see your family doctor for a routine checkup? -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:52 9
    - $20. (going up to 25 for pcp, 35 for specialists next year.) -- nm - b. Nov 19, 09:58
    - Yeah that's worse than $0. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:55
    - $20 co-pay. Went up from $10 at the beginning of this year. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 09:55
    - $20 copay now, but I'm switching to a different health plan with a $10 copay. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 09:55
    - Copay of $25 for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:54
    - Copay of $25. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:54 1
      - But emergency care is $50, rising to $75 next year. - Spawn Nov 19, 10:03
    - for me $20 -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:53
    - two chickens and a pie -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 09:53
  - sometimes our health provider pays for american health care for us, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 09:52
- profitable because there's barely one delivery a day and no saturday service. also, no house built in the last 25+ years gets delivery to the door. -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:51
- we don't like your health care thanks you can keep it. -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:51
- we... do? -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 09:50 1
  - (on the healthcare, that is) -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 09:51
- Where else is a Canadian goose gonna work? -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:50

Argh, I hate finishing a document (an informal proposal type thing), sending it out, then thinking of something to add to it. (My own fault, I didn't - mara Nov 19, 09:46 5
- "Hi, Will you marry me? Signed (blank)" -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:49 1
  - this is probably the status of znufrii's divorce papers -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:52
- that's what you get for being a keener - zork Nov 19, 09:48
- "PPS: Just kidding about the 'your mother' thing." -- nm - Max Nov 19, 09:48 1
  - "PPPS: I meant, 'you sister'. " - musubi Nov 19, 09:49
I know it's sweeps month so I guess that is why they did it but Modern Family does not need to resort to special guest stars yet. I mean I am - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 09:39 7
- Uh, she was not the first, really. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:45 3
  - I see Shelley Long as more of a return to a TV ensemble than a one time special guest star. Her character is bound to come back while - HdnAgnda Nov 19, 09:51 2
    - I really hope you're wrong. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 19, 10:00
    - Obvie for one, but the other we will see. Also, I doubt Long will be back. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:56

  - this bud's for you -- nm - 6 Nov 19, 09:45
LYC: Our PO in Blaine, WA -- a Canadian border town to the lower BC mainland... - OAE Nov 19, 09:36 3
- It would rule to live super close to the border. Having a US mailing address and being able to get those goods quickly would rock. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:44
- yeah, I know a lot of people that have things shipped to blaine or point bob either because they won't ship to canada, or to save on postage. -- nm - kraken Nov 19, 09:42
- You have a lot of Parolees in Blaine? (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:38
dawson, you dont know them either. but you seem to be asserting that the daughter is more than likely selfish regardless. - TFox Nov 19, 09:35 40
- [deleted] 29
  - MILs can stress a girl out. Giving birth is a stressful event. ... -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:46
  - (also note: the article is being written third hand. the nyt author is quoting a situation from another article entirely.) - TFox Nov 19, 09:39 7
    - well, if you're interested, here is the original post on grandparents.com - Roger More Nov 19, 09:48 5
      - I find it suspicious that she never mentions what color car her MIL drives. Likely cause she's selfish. (nm) - Jacky D si Nov 19, 09:53 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Contrarian? *giggle* Irony, thy name is JackDawson. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:57
      - *laughing* that's so way worse. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:50 1
        
        *nodding* -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 09:55
    - [deleted]
  - She doesn't want anyone there, it seems. And whatever her reason might be; I can't find a good enough one to say she's wrong to do so. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:39 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - MILs don't get to make any demands in this situation. I can't think of any non-batshit crazy actions that would make the DIL selfish. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 09:49
      - You say it sounds suspicious......that's looking for the needle in a haystack level of searching to cast blame on the daughter in my mind. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:47 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I did not want anyone waiting for me after my nuts were cut. - groiny Nov 19, 09:49
  - bottom line, the person whose vagina is being obliterated has the call on who is / not there. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:39 2
    - I just want you here, but please set up the camera this time. -- nm - mrs groiny si last night Nov 19, 09:41 1
      - groiny sex, volume 200, that's a wrap! nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:44
  - her reason for not wanting the MIL is completely irrelevant. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:38 1
    - agreed. If she says no, the answer is no. -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 09:39
  - how can you not interpret MIL's reaction as implying the reason? that's insane. like, mexican insane. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:38 8
    - [deleted] 6
      - her vagina, her blood and crap on the floor, her choice. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:41
      - it is obvious that being able to argue whatever your client asks of you was a good career choice. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:41 4
        
        Nice. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:44
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        i summarized it very accurately below, yes. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:44
        
        [deleted]
    - *ding* (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:39
- also, there is no context in which what the MIL did could be ok. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:36 9
  - Agreed. She could be nurse working *in that* hospital, and the mom would still be well witihin her rights to ask her not to be there. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:37 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - so, to summarize: the MIL is crazy, there are a plethora of reasons why the mother-to-be might do what she did... - TFox Nov 19, 09:44 5
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        i tell you what. you give me a percentage on the daughter being a selfish bitch, and i'll just run with that. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:47 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        31.25% -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:48
        
        Don't forget: because a third hand account didn't list a specific reason. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:45
  - if i had been waffling on the issue, my mind would have been made up over dinner. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 09:37
ST Poll: How do you organize your email? - The wraith of oblique Nov 19, 09:35 24
- I have dozens - hundreds - of folders and sub-folders, and I keep all my mail. - Mop on iPhone Nov 19, 09:47
- I deal with it right away, or flag the *really* important stuff I might need to find if it drops off the first screen, - kraken Nov 19, 09:46
- With Outlook, I color-code subject lines by sender, use rules to automatically direct some mail to folder ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 09:45
- I add the Category field to my inbox and sent. As I can, usually when I'm doing my weekly timesheet ... - zork Nov 19, 09:45
- I sometimes use Gmail labels, but mostly I use the search rather than organize myself. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 09:40
- i don't -- nm - CQ Nov 19, 09:40
- At work, short term I create personal folders and file things by matter name until after the deal closes. Then we have a firmwide filing system that - pmb Nov 19, 09:39
- by size. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:38
- If an email is sent to me only - the type set is bigger and bold and a different color - and I have my view set to "unread" - JenBro Nov 19, 09:38 1
  - oosp - typeset for who it's from I mean - not the whole email -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 09:38
- I use Google Mail labels, then search mail when I need something... - OAE Nov 19, 09:37
- work or personal? - znufrii Nov 19, 09:36 4
  - work -- nm - The wraith of oblique Nov 19, 09:39 3
    - Oh, for work. Each project get's its own folder. My email org at work sucks. - musubi Nov 19, 09:47
    - each project gets a separate folder, with additional folders for process-specific emails (that indicate a particular step in each project) - znufrii Nov 19, 09:45 1
      - and I just sort them manually into the folders once the emails are addressed -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 09:46
- outlook? gmail? -- nm - zork Nov 19, 09:36 1
  - outlook/work -- nm - The wraith of oblique Nov 19, 09:39

- "Inbox" -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 09:35 1
  - Yup. Then just sort by sender if needed (in Outlook) or search (in Gmail). -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:40
I did not read the story, but I have the worst MIL in the history of MILs. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 09:34 1
- I did not read, either. My MIL rocks. Amy likes my mom, but maybe not as much as I like hers. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 09:36
