Now I just miss Bitch 23. Excuse me while I go take some Vitamin C for Careless pills.

I remember always thinking he was an asshole that you should flirt with just because he was hot. So, IMHO, you've gotten away quite well in this situation. You don't have to deal with him anymore. Congrats!

As someone who had a relationship basically get destroyed by the moving in of an in-law, let me caution you strongly: You guys HAVE to take time for each other. I don't know how you can do that with a FIL and a new baby. I would say immediately get a third party (a counselor, a friend who has experience with solving…

I ordered an Irish coffee on Saturday at the bar, because I was sleepy, and I was blitzed the rest of the night. Yay, bottom-shelf whiskey and day-old coffee!

Your brilliance knows no bounds.

MAKING TONIGHT (with veggie sausage). Thanks!

The most difficult part is cleaning the leeks, as I recall. Layers and layers of dirt. Prepare yourself for having sandy countertops after you get done chopping and cleaning.
