Glad you had a good day!

Where are the links to these other two reports everyone is on about!?

Remember when Oseph reported live from a horrendous baby shower? That was a hoot!

Yes! Complete with frenemies, IIRC. And offensive party games. Someone more talented than I with the search function might be convinced to republish the link so all can enjoy again. Ditto prof_mom at Thanksgiving.

I recommend bourbon and bonbons for that.

Actually, the search function worked for once...a bit more curiosity and I found this one, anyway...!

Thank you so much dellaroux! I laughed so hard that tears were running down my face. This was great!

That made my morning. I wish Annabelle's blog was still active. Oseph - maybe you should start one!

You're welcome. Curiosity led to a bit more looking, but I'm not sure if this is the other one or not...

There are a few good nuggets on it, in any case!

Thank you undisciplined for the link. I read all 21 pages (it took hours) and found it very enlightening. I wonder how things have been in the last couple of years for prof_ mom and her MIL. Any idea?

I also read it through; I think based on the way the thread ended she stopped posting fairly soon thereafter.
