If you've been doing it out of habit, and they annoy you, then yes, you have a right to not be complicit in your own oppression.

If you're disassociating them out of spite, don't.

They're always your family, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to condone their continued moronic behavior.

Leaving this at the Family Reunion.

 

Yes.

Why? They're nitwits.

 

True enough. They're going through the house with a contractor tomorrow. I'm hoping a) they'll come to their senses or b) the lady who WAS interested (and was more price-rational) will come to HER senses.

She backed out when she was advised not to buy for another 6 months?!

 

Unkie T,

any first date advice you'd like to share?

 

Phew. I've had a lot of first dates. . .

Really depends on the woman and setup every time. The only rules I really know aren't mine, they're from Back Lot Professor Emeritus Tom Leykis.

1. Keep it under $50
2. Money spent on booze is flexible.
3. No coffee dates
4. No lunch dates
5. Avoid dinner if possible
5a. Make dinner as cheap as possible if unavoidable

For me, free museum nights and sunset picnics have always saved my bacon.

 

it's already dinner. that much is set.

it will be under $50 tho

 

$9 Prosecco to close my friend. . . leave that, and two champagne flutes in the trunk.

 

UnkieT,

Can I NOT add the jalapeno 'cause I hate it crazy spicy and substitute some sort of black pepper or something?

 

Just use less jalapeno. Go to the grocery store and pick up anaheims or poblanos to substitute.

 

I dunno how to seed them and shit . I'm a newb
