If I did that, Tiff would just complain.

Go ice fishing or get her a coffee?

Apparently our mail carriers have not heard the motto of "Neither snow, nor rain....."

Every time it snows - no mail.

[NikLR 13,227]

Do they mean it like a compliment?

A little but not really.

They were talking about having multiple girlfriends. Like there are girls you have as a main girlfriend and then side girlfriends. I said "aren't side girlfriends just for sex?" They explained no, sometimes they're really cool and fun to hang out with. So then I asked "why not just have that girl as the main girlfriend then and cut the BS?" They explained that often that girl is a little crazier than normal, like me. To which I replied, oh...okay. "No offense Niki but you're a little crazy" Well offense wasn't really taken as I pointed out I'm the only woman pretty much on this planet that would deal with my husband (likely why he married me) to which they whole heartedly agreed.

So I'm a little (a lot) crazier than normal. But I think that means I'm cool and fun to hang out with? I'm not sure. I'm also unsure to take it positively or not. I can't really be offended though because I'll have to admit it's likely true but considering my life, it's likely just a benefit I'm not completely bat sh!t insane (and thus alone) or dead.

Snow also apparently means everyone is home and our internet is dial up speed again. When your 4G is faster than your cable internet.....

Go ice fishing or get her a coffee?

Where has the Great British Bake Off been all my life? Best show ever.

Well, besides the Blacklist.

[Jacque67 7,328]

What's the Blacklist?

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

What's the Blacklist?

Breakout hit of 2013.

Darnell not everyone benefits from having a third human translating the communication.

Personally would never use a marriage counselor. I'll bounce ideas off my friends, his friends, his mom, maybe my mom, but we have to communicate with each other without a translator.

it'd be the same message, from a 3rd party.

My problem is that Steve's already told his housemate, and she's not changed.

So, 'translation of communication' - I see it as yet a new thing to try, as

prior things failed.

FWIW, the two of them not need any translator.

I say a 3rd party needs to go over the list once, ask the question, then Steve can see what happens after.

Why to try it? 'Cause it's the decent thing to do.

What's the Blacklist?

CIA Porn without the Meds

So apparently, my husband's friends think I'm above the "normal" crazy line for women.

Well, are you, huh ma'am? And aren't you gorgeous enough to overcome any such black mark for same, huh ma'am?

a statement for Tiff:

change the locks, put her on the sidewalk, process server hands her paper.

bonus points for making all this happen inside the same minute, some future date.

east, north, and close to Canada. Wyoming being an exception.

Wyoming is pretty much none of these, confused ma'am.

our school district doesn't have the resources to do ESL, especially when the kids aren't there for the full school year.

Immerse them in English-only for Many weeks, si man. The kids might cry every day, but after that they'll begin to get the hang of it, si man.

often that girl is a little crazier than normal, like me. To which I replied, oh...okay. "No offense Niki but you're a little crazy"

The guys were simply expounding on a "guy" topic, see ma'am. Be thankful that you were included in and given an insight into it, si ma'am.
