tinyE: The only time rep will ever mean anything to me is if it falls below 7 because when that happens I can't post like this.

CarrionCrow: Good evening. =)

Can't complain here. Power went out for a little bit, standard thing when the weather gets bad. No big thing.
Just wasn't expecting it to get cold enough to start freezing water, so that took a bit to work out, but again it wasn't anything major.

How's the fun-filled trip to the in-laws going? Hopefully you've got some sanity left after such a great time.

Also, glad to hear your mother's getting out of the hospital. =)

ddickinson: I hope the weather will start to get a bit warmer for you soon. It can't be nice having your water frees.

My day has been, erm, challenging. The usual indirect and discreet insulting towards me from people who think themselves superior because of their wealth. I had to sit through a big banquet, a 5 course meal, with these people, and it was just so dull. They kept taking digs at the poor farm girl about not been able to use the correct forks etc. They soon stopped when I showed them just how cultured we farm girls are, I may be down to Earth and prefer the simpler things in life, but that does not make me an idiot. Then it went to the usually boasting about their wealth and using that as a measure of a persons worth. They seemed to get quite annoyed when I refused to play their game and share about my finances. They know damn well that's it's no where near theirs (my partner's family are very well off, financially), they just do it to be superior.

I'm so exited to have my mother home. It's been on my mind all day, and has definitely help me get through the evening without making a scene about my partners horrible family. Luckily we won't be coming for another family get-together like this again anytime soon, as even my partner has had enough of it all, all the rich people superiority crap. I think all these years with a "common" farm girl have had a bad effect on my partner. :-)
That's very kind of you, thank you. =)

I have to ask...what would the consequences be of you telling them all to go fuck themselves?
I know it's impolite and all, but dear gods does it sound like they deserve it.
Something pleasant and refined like this, perhaps?

gunsynd: Next time throw food at them with your fork,there's no need for shit like that:-)

ddickinson: As tempting as that would be, it would just be giving them what they want. They love looking for excuses to seem superior over people, and I think throwing food would definitely give them a reason to carry on their petty games. I don't let them bother me that much. My partner is awesome, and that's all that matters. We can't choose our family (not that I would change mine, they are wonderful), so we just make the best of it.
Your a cool lady,myself I would just start throwing punches.Or at the very least tell them that they need to get their heads out of their arseoles and learn to be humble and not sit around counting their effin money....

adaliabooks: Which reminds me how we spent Valentines day last year. Our pizza van was just finished being converted so we were on a train down to Colchester. Except this time last year the weather was so bad that we were stuck on the train, when there was problems on the line, in the freezing cold for four hours before it got moving again. We were wrapped up in foil emergency blankets drinking free whiskey from the train bar...
So you could say we're not too bothered about it either... XD
But it is nice to make a little extra effort now and again.
I remember all the snow, we lost a few of the animals due to the cold. Luckily we don't get snow as bad as the US, but then those guys always like to super-size everything. :-)

What makes you think I have not done that previously? :-)

They are actually not too bad at the moment, they used to be a lot worse, especially my partner's mother. They don't seem to like the fact that I don't rise to the bait, but I have told them a few home truths now and then. Mostly it just causes problems for my partner, which is not something I want to do. So I generally just tolerate it and not give them the pleasure of a reaction, the world is full of arseholes (or assholes for you Yanks :-)), so why let a few more bother me. I don't have to see them often, so it's okay. I think if I had to see them often then I would have to hit a few people and teach them some manners. :-)

Yep, thought I fear I seem to be dominating the discussions at the moment, so feel free to introduce a new topic if you like. :-)

Well we already discussed Valentines Day, and how many seem to dislike the commercialise. So how about we discuss Singles Awareness Day? :-)

Edit: Also, this is a thread of random conversations and silliness. So I don't think it matters how good a topic is. It rarely stays on topic anyway, which makes for some fun discussions. :-)

ok... I never heard of that day before. And while it is a nice idea I do not feel like celebrating. I am so happy that the 14th is a Saturday this year so I can stay home and ignore all the stuff.

I never heard of it until just now when I Googled an alternative Valentines Day for single people. I'm betting that soon even this event will get commercialised, they seem to be doing that with every event and holiday.

Yup very likely. That was the main reason I never really liked Valentines Day. And is still part of the reason.
But seems like enough people enjoy it.
