Insane inlaw storm

Ok........ survived the first mother in law episode without chain-
smoking.
I read someone here saying stressful situations were easier without
the nicotine.
I think they were right.

This meter should have a way to adjust for the emotional health of the

I keep waiting for my wife to take care of it.
But, she's such a sucker.
I guess it's pretty hard to set boundries with your mother even if she
makes you miserable.
Becky,,,,, don't go anywhere, I may need you.

now know it was a lie. Your doing great....put this in your bank of
stressful situations got thru without smoking you can use it for future
reference. Well done !!

It's so funny, but that reminded me of something I saw on this group
years and years ago. I did a search for it and (strangely enough),
the last time I used it was in reply to one of Becky's (our new BDU
head) posts in 2005. Go figure. It went something like this and was
used as a .sig for someone whose name I've completely forgotten:

I have a shotgun, a shovel,
and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Cheers,
Rob

Googled it and it seems to be part of "rules for dating my daughter"
In any case getting irritated with the wife and especially the inlaws
has got me having a harder time today than any day I had last week.
I'm just keeping on doing all the things I did last week. I know I'll
get back to peaceful any minute now. I'll outlast their insanity.
