Mother-in-Law Stupidity

The time to vote always creates chaos in my household. We have a democrat and a republican living under the same roof, both undeniably opinionated and hot-headed. And to add fuel to the fire, my mother-in-law thought her opinion counted in my household, to which I had to inform her otherwise. Many individuals in Maryland mistakenly thought the primary was being held this past Tuesday, when in fact, it will be February 12th. My mother-in-law is just stupid, which cannot be fixed, so she went to vote, found out she was too early, then continued on to my house.

First of all, in my mother-in-law prenup, I know it states that before any visits I must have proper notification, which is 48 hours. Drop-ins are not allowed. I have had this conversation with her many, many times and I think I need to get her signature on this contract for it to be more effective. My yelling, cursing and eye-rolling has no effect anymore. So after this latest episode of her showing up unannounced, she committed her next idiotic nuisance. She began talking. That was the idiotic nuisance. Keep in mind, stupid people should not delve into any political discussions. They look like an ass, and she already is an ass, so you get the picture.

She doesn't know why anyone would vote for Hillary; She doesn't know why anyone would vote for Obama; She doesn't know why anyone would vote for McCain; She doesn't know why anyone would vote for Romney or Huckabee; OK, who the hell was she going out to vote for? Pick a side dammit!

While expressing myself in an exuberant manner or what you all might call ranting and raving, I told her that some people should not be allowed to vote because they do not have our best interest at heart. There should be another category on the ballot that reads "I rescind my voter's registration card because I am stupid and do not understand what I am doing." My mother-in-law finally left, not fully comprehending what had transpired.

But then I thought to myself; What if she does fully comprehend what she is doing; Driving me insane! Is that the idea? I need to review my mother-in-law prenup and perhaps draft a post-nup.

Free is just another way of saying "Gotcha!"

The word "free" drives me up a wall. Nothing is free, maybe inexpensive, deferred cost, but nothing is "free".

I went for my annual eye exam yesterday and the doctor informed me my nearsightedness had progressed some and I needed a new contact prescription. She was going to order a "trial" pair just to see "how they fit" and "how they felt." But the trial pair was "free."

All the jib jab confused me because why do you order a trial pair of contacts to see how they fit and feel? Why can't anyone just tell the straight up truth?

I would appreciated the doctor to tell me, "you need new contacts, I'll order a new pair for you. I'm not sure how you'll adjust to the new prescription, so I'll order a trial pair from the company and we'll go from there."

OK, I'm about to pay for my co-pay, which is only $10.00, and now they must go over the charges with me. What charges? The co-pay? Nope! The trial pair of contacts are "free", but I need to pay for a fitting. When the contacts arrive, I need to return to the eye doctor, put my contacts in and she will ask how they fit. Does that make sense? Can't I just call her office and tell her how they fit? The cost will be $35.00

So, the trial pair is not "free" at all. I am actually paying for that new pair of contacts.

Free is just another way of saying "Gotcha!"

Bad Girls

I've been hypnotized to watch a new show by the name of "Bad Girls" on the Oxygen Network. It comes on Tuesday nights, right before the Janice Dickerson Modeling show.

The show is outlandish because of one girl, who stands out, Tanisha. This young woman literally rants and raves like a maniac. She starts fights, and has deemed herself as the group leader. Now the other girls each have their own issues, but this show is focused on Tanisha, the psychotic chick. I'm not sure how she made it through to become one of the housemates, but she has these girls following whatever she says. On one hand, I'm impressed...on the other hand, I believe she is bipolar and borderline psychotic and will definitely hurt someone by the last show.

But why am I so drawn to this show? Why do we enjoy craziness? It's like when you see something odd in the street and you stop to watch. Even if it could mean danger, we stop to watch?

Could this mean all of us like creeping to the "dark" side now and again?

My Bitch meter is down

A friend of mine, who follows my blog, told me my bitchmeter is down. I guess things in my life have been pretty tame recently but, I do have some pet peeves that jump out at me.

1. Why do grocery stores only put 2 or 3 cashiers on a line when they know Saturdays is shopping day? How many people do we need in a line before you open up another one?

2. Why does the Post Office only have 2 people on a register on Saturday mornings, the busiest morning of the week? That is the day most people are off! You know its gonna be busy.

3. Why do things break as soon as the warranty runs out? It's like they make it to last til that very last day, then !Pow! It breaks.

4. Why are there items at the Dollar store that cost more than $1. ?

Be my guest, add to the list!

New Sex Trends? Friends with Benefits

I wrote about a friend who finally caught her cheating boyfriend, after an exhaustive cat and mouse game. Well, she broke up with him without any revenge. Now, her brilliant idea is to become intimate with one of our friends. Not a new trend, but new to me because I've never come across anyone involved in this type of relationship.

Casual sex with one of your friends instead of "normal" dating? How do you sleep with a friend then act as nothing happened?

My friend has not chosen that special "friend" out of our circle of friends. Does that make sense? It all seems robotic to me. Why not just buy a machine and get it done yourself.

Valentines Day: Lingerie or Just Skin?

I'm getting prepared for Valentines Day and wondering what to do different this year. I was pondering the thought of new lingerie.

I guess I understand the purpose of sexy lingerie , but doesn't that idea grow old? How long does the lingerie actually remain on? You pay $50-$100. for a sexy set and it stays on for how long, 15 minutes? I just don't get the concept of purchasing expensive lingerie anymore. Why not just show up in the nude? Wouldn't that turn a guy on more?

Why did they choose Sherri on The View?

I'm gonna get right to it and kick in to b*tch mode. Why is Sherri on The View? You know the tv show that airs in the morning with Whoopie, Barbara Walters, Joy Beher, and the cute Survivors chick. How did they pick Sherry? She's cute but more like a dumb blonde. She can only answer certain questions and when she tries to become part of an intelligent conversation she always sticks her foot in her mouth. Is she there to represent people with low IQ or just for the entertainment?
