Well-stated. And you didn't even need to use the term douchecanoe.
Side note: I can't wait to start using the term douchecanoe.
I love this video. Those birds are so much like my wife and I when Elvis comes on.
I would listen to family rants, haha
got to the gym last night and I had not a single hair band with me. Nothing in my purse, nothing in my gym bag - lot of bobby pins but fat lot of good they would do.
I feel like I failed some kind of girl test. And I forgot to put some in my purse last night. Ensuring this will happen again.

Yeah...same here. PapaLew is the huge Elvis fan. Me, not so much. And I can totally see me pushing him away when he gets really goofy!
I have short hair so I never have hair ties. The girls are volleyball helpers again this year and we went to picture day/team scrimmage where they get their helper t-shirts and get a picture with the team. The guy in charge failed to order enough youth shirts, my 10yr old who is the size of a 7yr old got an adult small shirt. Had to borrow a hair tie from a friend who had an extra to tie up her shirt. Mom fail there, will throw extra hair ties in the volleyball bag.
glad I'm not the only one! I couldn't believe I didn't have one buried somewhere. Probably because I've done this before and used up the reserves without putting more in. Last week I forgot my gym bag entirely on Monday, and then forgot socks Wednesday. No hair tie was definitely worse than no socks. Burpees and jumps with sweaty hair getting in my face and mouth was not ok.
Follow up on the twitter thing with little00's teacher. She's tweeted twice, once the evening of the first day to say it went well and they learned X, then on Tuesday to say they learned Y to go with X the day before, and to ask them about it. Definitely not distracting her from the classroom.
If it makes you gals feel better, I never have any hair ties with me, either. Of course, my hair is 1/2" long, so there's that.
Well since CG likes family rants.
A little background on my in-laws. They are wonderful people. They just don't know how to say no. This leads them to love paycheck to paycheck have a good chunk of debt and never really have any money. The sad part is that is all their kids know. So what happens when they get money? They want to spend it.
That and my wife's siblings know that all they have to do is ask and you have a good chance of getting it. Convertible rental car while on a trip to Florida with friends? Sure! First class tickets for a.honeymoon to Vegas? Sure! Always going to Florida or Vegas for vacation? Yup. Need money for groceries because I used mine on Starbucks? Here you go!
Meanwhile my wife and I are not getting any help. Paying off debt. Saving for a house. You know living like adults.
The kicker last night was my sister in law who is 19, just got married, has a great job (gets paid $500/week to watch one kid) had a horse basically gifted to her.
I hate to sound like I am whinning but for ****s sake. Is anyone ever going to step in and try and get them to look at their priorities?

Yea.. From what I've been reading from you in this thread, I'm gonna go ahead and assume your knowledge of law is maybe a little shaky...
Same idea, but I use a clip to get my hair up off my neck. PapaLew is always laughing at me because I will end up with about 10 in my purse...
First world problems. In a new construction house, all the light bulbs are the same age...so I've been replacing at least one light bulb a week for the last several months. But...LED's going in, won't deal with those bulbs again for quite a while!
We end up looking like the "BAD" parents because we refuse to continuously bail our kids out and the various in-laws will. We've helped each of them out financially at one point or another, but there's no way we are going to spend all of our disposable income bailing them out of financial issues of their own making. You want a car straight off the showroom floor? Save up for it.

Well s***, apparently, I got a twofer this week, and out of bulbs. Good thing Lowe's is on my way to work.
Haha yeah. That was the hipster wedding back in July. Got the pictures back from that. My wife doesn't think I am fat (she is good at trying to build up my self esteem) but damn those suspenders made me look really fat. I know I am big but that made it look 100x worse.
Again I don't want to sound like I am whinning. I just want to slap them and show them how stupid they are being.
Last week my FIL had the engine go out on his car that he uses for a paper route, and going to and from two other jobs. So what does he do. Goes and buys a brand ******* new car! The thing will smell and be messy in a few months .
Same here. 1/2" long where there still is hair. However, there have been several instances when I've been driving the girls to sporting events and they forgot hair binders. It never seems to fail that, if I dig through the seats, I will find at least one hair binder somewhere in our vehicles.
OK, yeah, he dumb. Brand new car to use for a paper route? Shoot, there's a late 80's-early 90's Mercedes that's been for sale here in town forever...that'd be the car for a paper route. Old enough that it doesn't have all the electronic doohickeys to go bad, but built with the precision of a top of the line car (of the time). Also, with Merc's that old, the repair bills aren't quite so bad if you can find an independant import specialist. I really should by that old tank for going back and forth to work.
