Today I really don't like anyone who lives in my house
except for the dog. Any advice?

Thank you in advance.

1. Go to a hotel by yourself, and get drunk.
How's that? :)

13. I like how you think.
Wonder if that Box O' Wine in the garage fridge is cold? There might be an opportunity for redemption for them yet.


Although I have to admit I really like DS1's idea.

11. Hopefully, they're not family, otherwise you're stuck with them, friend.
Good luck with that.
:)

I'm a big one for taking "personal time outs". Perhaps you could think of a creative way to get some space for a little bit. Always seems to help me.

Hang in there!
Shine

15. Dear God, Shine.
Of course they're family!!!! Otherwise, I would have called the police on the fuckers yesterday.


Sorry. I'm a little hysterical today......


And if my FIL tells me one more time about the terrorist attack in Jordan while watching Faux, I swear to God I will replace all his medicines with aspirin.

29. Except he lives with ME.
and all my stuff that was previously stored in the storage room, which is now my 13yo son's bedroom, previously, did I tell you this part? Walled, carpeted, organized storage with airconditioning, cable TV the whole nine yards, is now in the FUCKING GARAGE and I can't find a FUCKING THING!!!!!!!



Thanks for the hug Shine. I am not yelling at you, just the beautiful blue Virginia sky.

12. Ah my dear Midlo.......
Been there, done that....except for the alcohol.......

I used to wish they would ALL disappear....including the damned dog and the rest of the menagerie......

Or that I could disappear into my own little retreat......

But I realized that I would miss them horribly after about half an hour...

So I never did it.....and they all grew up and moved out, and the dog died.....

Hang in there baby......:loveya: :hug:

Mine aren't moving....my 24 year old likes it here, my 18 wants to go to college locally.

What is the age they move out? I just want to be able to live that long. Thanks in advance.

26. Well, perhaps you could charge the 24 yr. old RENT......
That might be just the ticket.....or extreme curfew hours? I don't know...

My kids were ready to move out after college......

Hope this helps!

Or maybe long separate vacation?

Or......??? you fill in the blanks.......:shrug:

20. 'Wake up tomorrow feeling worse'.
The hangover part would be fine, but the little one is in a Veteran's Day program and has a solo and of course I have to be there.

Maybe I will get drunk and STAY drunk.....Thereby no hangover!!!!

23. It's an amendment to DS1's suggestion.
Put them in a large sauté pan with a little demi-glace, some shallots and a dab of Dijon style mustard. When a brown crust forms in the household poopyheads, douse the pan in cognac and swirl to ignite. Finish with some crushed green peppercorns and a cream reduction. Serve with copious amounts of cognac.

Tell them the campaign is paying .10 a sign, and that Fox News is covering it.
