Once you read it, you'll understand why they told my husband not to marry me and why I am such a horrible human being. You can't say they didn't warn him. Twistie, please excuse the hijack. :) http://diaryofagolddigger.blogspot.com/2010/01/in-which-sly-tells-primo-that-i-am-bad.html LBD, the bacon story is here.

Seriously, I genuflect in your general direction. And I’m really happy that your husband knows It’s Not You.

Don't give me too much credit. I try to keep a civil tongue in my head, but I have yet to get through one visit without at least one blowup. For the entire year following our visit, my husband gets complaints about my conduct. I sigh and take notes. (For example, I am a bad bacon eater, not the boss of my father in law and one who does not eat onion rings.) I am at least going to get a book out of this. Well, if not a book, definitely a blog.

Miss Manners would also be proud of your substitute for 'You have got to be kidding.' There's also a great deal to be said for never being bored. @ the gold digger: I bow to you.

We really like each other and are never bored with each other. I don't see that changing. The only big compromise I have had to make is about his parents, who are - um - something else. Once a year, I stock up on xanax and vicodin, practice saying, "Well, how about that" instead of "You have got to be kidding" and accompany him on a long weekend visit to their place. The good news is that he knows they are nuts so he appreciates what I do and has promised they will never live with us.
