Methinks it's because deep down she is a piece of shit who would screw her own close friends over a few dollars But I'm only like 15 years into this, so what do I know
First phone call received Neither my wife nor her cousin apparently understood that parking is not part of the rate for the hotel night I feel bad for the poor front desk receptionist right now
I expressly told them about this, trying to tell the cousin to be ready to pay for it because she always complains about money, that when they get there it will be an extra charge, typically taken out of the incidentals deposit/approval (or whatever it is called) you make when checking into the room Trying to make sure she was ready for it, since this whole thing is a big deal to miss 'I'm always living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford stuff' who is literally going across Austin to go shopping every single weekend I'm pretty sure our credit card just got put down for the incidentals for both reservations, but whatever I hope they have fun
I honestly have zero desire to see jelly roll, but I'm kinda jealous of seeing post. Dude is talented AF
Her response to me when I lol'd about them going to cracker barrel was "we didn't want Mexican food" Because apparently cracker barrel or Mexican is the only thing available in a city of 1.5 million people
Remember when 60,000 miners getting an education and a better trade was a bad thing? Now they wanted educated people to go work in a factory.
Just let them know if they are hitting strip clubs that the nipple ordinance is still in place, or at least was when I was there in October.
Wasn’t expecting to have to Google San Antonio nipple ordinance ever, but life is an amazing combination of unexpected events happening.
In the past 5 years or so there has been a revolving door of plump tatted up white boys that have great voices but seem interchangeable. I'm thinking of Rag'n'Bone Man, Jelly Role, Teddy Swims.
So my MIL will visit us for my wife’s baby shower we confirmed. She will have a bit of downtime and told her she will need to fend for herself for a little bit. Her first question was what time church was during the day. She won’t have a car so that’s not going to happen. The next was if we have Foxnews. We don’t. My wife went on a bit of a lecture about it and now the MIL is threatening to not come because she says no one wants her and her beliefs to be there. I’m rooting for it. Foxnews is seriously a way of life for these people. I’m sooo lucky my parents aren’t apart of that lifestyle. Consuming it is the equivalent as going to a church to hear interpretations of the Bible. They are addicted to feeling fear and seeing pain incurred on people they don’t relate to. It is legitimately a form of community that they talk about with other people. It’s a water cooler topic for morons.
Cracker Barrel has delicious hash brown casserole. Good for them on indulging in fine American cuisine
My FIL wanted to come early with my MIL for my son’s graduation party. My wife wants her mom here a couple days prior to help pull shit together for the party. My wife said if all you’re coming to do is watch FoxNews and turn the volume up on the tv so loud it’s yelling at us don’t come early. He’s now coming the day before the party.
is ubering her to church an option? I would pay for all of the Ubers in the world if it meant my mother in law would leave my house
This is so relatable. I can only compare this obsession to like a football game I insist on watching that won’t be on at someone’s home. Difference is I don’t watch that game every day of the week. Oh, and it doesn’t make me root for the destruction of my child’s future in this country
With all due respect rooting for an Iowa Hawkeye offense is akin to hoping football stops being played.
Its hard to consider them beliefs to me because of how quickly and easily they change on a dime. Like, completely contradictory 'ideas' and feelings that have no permanence whatsoever. Im not sure what they are. It doesnt feel human, but like that decartes philosophy idea where there's just some evil devil constantly tricking your MIL into believing different things and she's just down with it while youre watching her insist that devil is her best friend
old people really do have to have the TVs on. Even if it's not Fox it's always something. That's obviously a generational thing with technology. We just look at our phones but boomers need the tv going big and loud 24/7. my mom's ideal place is in her rocking chair playing some mindless game on her phone with Fox and Friends on.
IDK if it's necessarily generational, I usually have the TV on 24/7 as well. But it's usually sports, ESPN, or a replay of Friends/Office/Parks and Rec. Hell my kids will have their tablets playing next to them while they play video games. I'd kill myself if I had the news on in the background all day.
Boomers love cable news. My mom and dad are always watching MSNBC. I assume because it was the only way to get news when they checked out on technology.
obviously I'll do it when watching sports and texting friends or shitposting on TMB, but I try not to second screen. feels gross.
