PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I believe that snoochie's looking to trade her MIL, so might want to see if she'll go for that deal, LOL. Or else take her along with you to Atlanta and see if Schnookie's cats can have their way with her? Hang in there, Wheezy... nothing is ever as bad as it seems!

Plus sometimes she has toilet paper sticking out of her ears cuz that's how she protects her eardrums from random hairspray wars and I have a feeling you might be embarassed to be with her. wheeeze

9. "RE: The Great Mother Exchange" |
Mother-in-laws can of course be included, if you can find somebody to take one.My mother doesn't drink, doesn't whine, is in fairly good health and doesn't live with me, so I have to count my blessings here. But she is Driving.Me.Crazy. I don't even tell her we are going on vacation anymore because she thinks she needs to know every stinking detail and she keeps calling me 8 times a day to nag me. So, somehow she found out we are leaving (stoopid SIL) and feels she must know all the details of where we are staying. Now, I don't think that's an unreasonable request for normal people...it's good to have a contact phone number for emergencies. But....this is my mother. One time my DH and I were taking a group of teens to Gulf Shores for Spring Break. I gave my mother the phone # of the place we were staying. When we arrived, there was a message for me at the front desk from my mother. It seems she'd been watching the weather channel and saw severe thunderstorms heading our way, which she decided could become tornadoes and she asked the hotel staff if they had a basement for us to go to. Nice, huh. So after that I began punishing her by not giving the info. But now she knows we are going to Florida and not only does she write out a frigging MAP for me, (the woman has never left the state of Michigan by the way) but also she has made snacks for our trip. Well, that's nice, but I'm still not giving her the phone number. Plus, WE HAVE CELL PHONES!!!!!! I tell her this every time. Call my cell phone. Her response? Cell phones break! UGGGGGHHHH! She calls me 8 times a day trying to get the phone number of this resort. So about these snacks she made, turns out she's got a tupperware bowl full of...not snacks, but MEATBALLS! Yes, meatballs. Frozen solid, in a styrofoam container. So I say 'Meatballs, Ma?' And she says 'You could get stuck in a bad traffic jam! You need food!' OMH, if I ever get to a point where I am so far away from civilization that I cannot find a McDonalds within 3 walking days and thus must resort to eating frozen meatballs, you may as well kill me. So then I look in the container and there's also a frozen Little Caesars Pizza and a family devotional booklet. UUGGGGGHHHHH! This is also the woman who left me a 3 minute long message telling me all the supplies I need to store in my basement for 'the attack' on Holland Michigan, like a can opener and toilet paper, and this is the woman who insisted we take a rope along when we went to a hotel where our room was on the third floor, cuz when 'the attack' comes we can get out the window with the rope. I think I have an alternate use for that rope. Ok, hey well I am having a great day otherwise! Looking forward to getting some Nookie tomorrow night! wheeeze it's really quite funny...hope some of you are laughing

LOL. Poor Wheez. I was going to whine and participate in the mother exchange, but this crushing guilt keeps me from doing it. I keep hearing my mom, saying "What if I die tomorrow? What then,huh? Then you'll be regretting all those nasty things you said about me, and it will eat you up inside for the rest of your life!".

Reminds me of the part in The Wedding Singer when Adam Sandler gets paid in meatballs for giving the old lady singing lessons, and she puts the meatballs right in his hand. blacknwhitedog It's just a show, I should really just relax...mst3k

So we get this huge Cruise ship. We call it "The Mother Ship", and offer all mothers and MIL's a free cruise.We then stage a "Gilligan's Island" type storm, that strands all of the Mothers and MILs on a deserted island. I think it would work... don't you? Half man, half amazing, all DAW

23. "RE: The Great Mother Exchange" |
My mom is uber-cool, I love her and would NEVER trade her. I believe I may have told you all about my mother. My father always says about us girls "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".1. My mother is a crazy hillbilly from Ohio with 8 children, she had my oldest brother Patrick at age 16. My father is 12 years older than my mother...*dad is a cradle robber* 2. My mother is a machinist by trade. Somehow with 8 kids she managed to go to college and get a degree in metallurgy and machining. She was the first woman machinist ever hired by General Electric (1976). She has been employed by GE for 27 years. My father has been with GE for 40 years in August. 40 fvckin YEARS at the same job... 3. My mother raises and breeds tropical birds. We have had a menagerie of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, frogs, ducks, turtles, tarantulas, snakes, chameleons...pretty much everything. 4. My mother sells sexual aids part time and for this reason I avoid discussing my marital issues with mom. She'll just suggest some vibrator to make life happy again. 5. My mother just quit smoking after 40 tears of ciggs. She quit cold turkey and I am so proud of her. 6. I cannot recall my mother ever making a meal. If it doesn't come in a box, can or frozen my mom can't cook it. Even on Holidays we would either ORDER OUT or go to my Grammy's. 7. Last year my mother met the President. She is the union steward for her shop and was invited to speak to congress about shiping American jobs overseas. She was on the news and in the paper. She said that Dubya is very, very, very handsome and intelligent in person. He comes across as genuine and caring but is still a jerk for not trying to keep jobs in the US. 8. My mother parties like there is no tommorrow. She drinks shots, sings karaoke, dances like a fool, drives recklessly, spends money like water. 9. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and a life survivor. So Wheeze...you can't have my mom, you can borrow her or be adopted by her. She has collected about 30 children over the years who claim her as their 2nd mom. However I can give you a GREAT deal on my MIL as long as you take Joe too...

I worked for GE for 3 years and that was 2 1/2 years too long, even if it gave me a lot of good skills and paid the bills. I was about to ask you if your father worked at the Stamford, CT, head office but of course, you're from Ohio. Stamford is one of the places where the big kahunas go in GE (the other being the big office in Eden Prairie, MN).

Wow Snooch ~ you almost made me cry reading that. The love and pride that you feel for your Mom jumped right off the screen and tugged on my heart strings. Your Mom sounds like an amazing woman and I bet she's a blast to hang out with in person. We're always looking for a good machinist where I work. Sure wish she'd come up here and straighten out the fools I have to deal with. Wheezy honey ~ here's the deal. How about you check in on my Mom & Dad while you're down there in Florida, and get them back safely to the Canadian border at the end of the month. In return, you can give your Mom my phone number so she can call me while you're away. My phone is always busy anyways because of me being on the internet. Tell her that if it's busy just keep on trying. Have a safe trip, get some Nookie, and have a couple foo foo drinks for me!

46. "RE:May be T.M.I." |
Just some general whining.....As some of you know, my grandma is staying with us to get over the flu. For 2 weeks now, my life has been disrupted. 1) She has my television, but doesn't watch the dern thing. I have been out of the television programming sync since. *sigh* My mother has tried to be accomodating but we are just too diverse in our viewing habits. 2) Anyone that knows me, knows that I usually wear a hat (at least until I get to where I'm going). I've already scoped out my new hats for spring/summer *hintJVheehee*. My grandma thought it was important to remind me that I needed to wear a hat today before I left. It was really hard not to laugh as my mother rolled her eyes from the corner of the room. 3) With my grandma, we discuss the same things every day. a)Weather--how cold is it and how windy is it. b)B.M.<-----everyday this is a topic of conversation that I don't want to indulge in. I'm about to start slipping Metamucil into her water. c) What time I have to go to work. I know what time I have to go. It doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to put my clothes on and pull my hair up, and it only takes 5 minutes to get to work. d)Dog Food. She always wants to know if I've fed my dog. Maybe she thinks Gypsy will snack on her (which my baby would never do). 4) My grandma takes great pleasure in "ratting people out". *heehee* My mother broke a handle on one of my dad's new pots. My grandma made sure she told my dad that mom did it. 5) I always dress conservatively for work. My boss is a minister so I maintain modesty in my dress. Last Saturday, I wore red velvet to work. My grandma didn't believe that I was going to work in that outfit. The look on her face when my mother explained that I dress much sluttier when I'm going dancing was priceless. *lol* 6) The women in my family are curvy. So, we enjoyed hearing my grandma's theory on how my mom got so fat. (Now, my mother is really not fat and my grandma is heavy. She has no room to point fingers. *laughs*) 7) If my grandma thinks no one is around, she gets around just fine. But, as soon as an audience appears--*DAW* she experiences hot flashes, trembly spells, and her stomach is all nervous. *heehee* I love to hear her on the phone describing how she doesn't think she's gonna get better. 8) My grandma still does not know about my fiance. I keep waiting and waiting to see if my dad will spill the beans. He hasn't so far. Ohhh the shock my hillbilly grandma is in for. *evil laugh* Now, I love my grandma. I always have. But, I am sooooo glad that I don't live with her all the time. Seeing as how I'm the old maiden aunt who's fast approaching 30. *heehee* *who tries to deny her hillbilly roots*
