FFFC

Re: FFFC
Well I went and got a g kiss? I wanted a rechargeable but didn't have the $100 to spend. I hope the $40 one I went with isn't a POS. I kinda feel like I should've told him what I was doing before I went and did it, but I've been thinking about getting one for a VERY long time now and dammit I was on the side of town *now* and it's a 45 min drive from the boonies where we live. I'm sure he will be fine with it. Maybe not at first. I can't imagine him getting too bent out of shape about it.
Haha. Yes, thank you. Although I don't think the one I bought spins.
Oh I hear you! It annoys me so much more when it's high schoolers and cegep'ers that are pro-strike...they haven't even been to university yet! It's so much crap. FWIW I speak 4 languages and it truly hits a nerve whenever I hear a French person say: I refuse to speak English because I live in Quebec. If I was an employer, I would never hire someone who can't speak both languages. I love Canada and Montreal but I hate the province of Quebec.
I'm not Polish but I kinda read what she said differently than you guys.
It's no secret that I'm pretty much an atheist. (I say pretty much because I haven't quite made the jump just yet). What I took from her response was that she likes her life choice and it has helped her in her everyday life.
The way I read the second part was that she thinks if people researched more, then maybe the atheist community would be bigger. I didn't take it as her saying that anyone who is religious should research and you'll change your beliefs. I think she meant it in a general sense. I would also assume that religious people would feel that if people who didn't believe, would go to church, they'd be able to learn and get something out of it.
I
you! This couldn't have been said better. I always feel horrible for having an opinion on it since I'm not French or living in Quebec. But how do they think free schooling should be right? If we asked for that in Alberta we would be laughed at by the government. Hell, I think we would settle for a reduction in fee, which will never happen.
And we have the crazy separatists out here too. How the heck they think that is going to work is beyond me. We are Canadian. Just because we are enjoying good times right now does not mean that we won't ever need the rest of the country. We built this country as a whole and have developed a culture and people I am proud of. Separating is the most rediculous idea.

It's even funnier with her first response that didn't include the words. I felt like she was shaming me. =P

She said she was highly cynical of people who believe in God and that you just needed to do research. I feel like she was saying that if you did research you would see her side. I was saying that research doesn't always equal fact. A lot of science is based on theory that has research behind it but still just theories. Regardless we will all believe in what we want right! I just don't think either side should be cynical of the other.
No I do not think if an Atheist went to church they would believe. You have to be willing to want God in your life and I would say an Athesit does not. Church will not change that.
I don't know. I guess I don't see a huge problem with her saying she is cynical of people who believe in God. I'm sure people are cynical of her for not believing. It's her confession.
Like I said, I'm not Polish. I could have taken it the wrong way too.
ha! I literally just had this convo!
My parents live there, I've lived with them before there. I may have to move back
I HAAAAATTTTEEE it there! Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful.
What island are you on? Oahu? Military?
Oh good. I'm glad that you and your mother said something. That stinks for your brother that he trusted her.
I feel the exact same way about the MIL posts here. My MIL is a little wacko but in no form is she a hellish beast. I especially feel this way when the MIL is being compared to "Mom", like yeah I am sure your husband thinks YOUR Mom is peaches and cream all the time.
Haha! I have a friend who recently had a baby and everyvtime her mother called the baby "our baby" I would cringe. Ugh, I just really think it is gross and crosses a major boundary, but that is my opinion.
Same here... Mine said she is quitting her job in October so she can raise "our baby".

I've never been to Hawaii. It's one of my dream places to go one day. Why is it so bad though?
it's beautiful but it's a tourist-based economy and lifestyle. Most of the people who live there full time are usually transient in some way. There's not a whole lot to do if you're not into surfing or outdoor activities or don't have some sort of niche cut out. It's also very expensive.
You can't leave. Just to go to another island will cost you like $100 minimum in airfare. Flying to California is a minimum 5 hour flight and also a fortune. You're really really isolated. On Maui the furthest you could get was like 45 min away.
Visiting is fantastic.
I always say it's like living in some really rural area with a lot of fancy hotels and palm trees. PP is living on Oahu which has some activity. My family lives on Maui, which is even less. Kauaii or the Big Island? forget it. I have never been so lonely or bored in my life living there. There wasn't even a place to like, just go windowshopping outside of cheesy tourist stops.
You can forget seeing any movies outside the top 5 stupid block busters (again, maybe a little better in Oahu), getting any sort of interesting food (sushi there rules tho), museums, bookstores, etc.
I was coming from Manhattan though so...talk about culture shock.
me too! even if my MIL called the baby "my baby" once....just once....
This, but change "our baby" to "my baby." Just because she's due on your birthday, doesn't mean she belongs to you! You aren't carrying her, giving birth to her, breastfeeding her, changing her, raising her, so she doesn't belong to you!
I am hoping against hope that she comes before her EDD, not only to avoid a c/s, but also so that my MIL doesn't act like we had this baby as a birthday present for her. =P

I've done this too, I downloaded kindle for the pc on my work computer. I think I read 3 books total and then got guilty and uninstalled it. I'm so busy at work now though I think it evens out!
Maybe that is just it, my MIL is wacko but I don't pretend my Mom, when she was alive, was a Saint. Clearly, I don't know everyone's specific circumstances and you MIL may in fact be a hellish beast. But I find it hard to believe that EVERY MIL rant post is being told from the point of view of a completely innocent and sweet DIL.
My original statement was not directed at any individual just merely a confession about something I have observed.
