That’s too far. You need to live far enough away that they have to call before coming, but close enough that they don’t spend the night.

My relationship with the fam took a turn for the better once I moved to nearly the exact opposite of the planet from them. Good luck getting on that 27 hour plane ride Nana!

I get along great with my family, because we all live in entirely different places. My brother, my mother, my father and I all live in 4 different countries, with only my brother and my father on the same continent.

The position I get put in is my wife has a good relationship with her parents and that has lead her to believe the two of us and our kid can have a similar one with my mother. My response is always the same:

It’s funny how people reflexively slow down when you see the distinctive silhouette, headlights and grille until you realize every Old

I have a friend who did 2 tours in Iraq. Maybe 2 or 3 years after he was out, he was waiting for a bus when he saw a white van speed down a street. So he started watching it. He watched the van stop at a sewer and throw something down it. He then watched the van pull up to a house, 4 people get out, and hop into a

Oh man, that last Op sounds problematic in a few ways. I really hope he at least had some legit reason to suspect them, though I have no clue what you possibly would have done at the base.

Right? Good thing I was already sitting down.

And it is never their shit that burns.

The correct answer to the ingested wrapper question: you know those thin pieces of paper that separate slices of prepackaged cheese? Those get consumed more than anything.
