DYK your SIL is a real piece of work, isn't she? I'm sorry about that...
DYK I thank my lucky stars every day that I have almost entirely happy in-law relationships. I had a pretty serious bf once who had a crazy mom, and I really, really feel for Jennie.
DYK we got an announcement a couple of months ago saying no raises again this year... this will be either the third or fourth year in a row (I think third).
DYK I am just happy they haven't announced furloughs yet --- these are unpaid days you have to take off, so they result in a pay cut. The staff actually gets days off, but faculty generally have to take them over winter or spring break.
DYK lots of state schools throughout the country are having furloughs --- some resulting in as much as a 10% pay cut.
DYK of course, if they aren't going to give us raises, I *really* wish they wouldn't make us turn in those PITA multi-page annual reports every year.
dyk You know, I do complain about it to y'all but Fred has a horrible father.
dyk He is very proud that he is a much better father than the one he had.
dyk So, I don't say anything to him. I figure Megan and Emma (and all the other daddy's girls we have on the board) are lucky. They have a dad who cares and is involved in their lives.
dyk On 16 and pregnant, the question was asked to the teen moms on how many of them had their dads in their lives. Two out of 15 (or 20) raised their hands.
dyk But he does drive me crazy sometimes so I come here.

dyk I never had a root canal but I had teeth extracted.

Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

dyk I dated a guy in my 20's, his mother was a piece of work. I feel for Jennie.
dyk I would never marry him (were together for over 5 years) but I could never stand the thought of his mom being my mother in law.
Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

dyk I agree, I think Karen is going to rock this dress.
dyk And for $27, I might reconsider wearing it.

DYK my mother is the crazy MIL in our relationship
DYK Chad really has no contact with her (I tend to keep any time I spend with her strictly mother/daughter time)
DYK the thought of simply having her over for dinner just makes me cringe
DYK I totally agree with you- they are good fathers and it is wonderful that they take an active interest in their daughter's lives
DYK I grew up without a father, so just knowing Chad will be there makes me happy
DYK I guess I am just not looking forward to having to play the bad guy?
DYK last night around 8:30 our doorbell rang and it was a girl selling something for cheerleading for the local highschool
DYK Chad closed the door and said "What parent lets their daughter wander around to people's homes at 8:30, alone?"
DYK it warmed my heart- his daughter may be spoiled, but she is also going to be protected
DYK- "You" don't play the bad guy
DYK - You AND Chad present a United front.
DYK- And all this is easier said than done!
DYK - Megan for the most part has her father wrapped around her finger and yes Michael admits to it!
