Mish, just an aside....have you noticed that this is the thread that will not lock? Hmmm.


ANYway, just wanted to send you a cyber-hug!

[One Day]

This is the longest thread ever

Hope you're having a good day Mish. Fish tacos sound intriguing- I would never have thought of that!

I actually goofed up the other night and grabbed a packet of chicken seasoning for the intent of chicken tacos when I was making beef. Much to my surprise, it put a interesting twist into how they tasted.

Hmmmm...chicken seasoning in beef tacos? That would be interesting. You know the secret to great meatloaf? Poultry seasoning!!! My grandma swore by it and so do I.

Gabe has texted me 4 times asking me if I tried the tacos yet. He's really 'fishing' for compliments. I'm holding off and having them for dinner. The man kills me. Oh well...I wasn't going to pass up a free meal.

Hugs to all!!!! Have a wonderful 4th and don't drink and drive - the po po are EVERYWHERE!!!!

I just realized I didn't mention that he called me today when he was leaving his place to pick up Marc for school to ask me if I wanted to try his fish tacos.

Hey Mish...

You know me and my sentimentalness and all.. well, it nearly bought tears to my eyes when I read this.. "He sheepishly said, "How do you make that sauce for fish tacos?" Huh? He is calling me for recipes? WTF? I wanted to say something about him missing my cooking..."

Its just so sad. Of course he misses your wonderful cooking and more than that, no doubt, that sense of 'home', of belonging, that I doubt he has over at the brooms and their volatile on/off chaos. Its just too sad!!!! Why do these men do it hey? Throw their lives over, then look back a couple of years and think, uhho, wth did I do all that for...

Love al xxx

Hi Mishka

I'm the same as Ali! Too sentimental...

I'm going to my first ever 4th July party at the weekend! Exciting!

[MichelleLT]

LMAO. Love the recipe incident. Just shows what a good cook you are! No harm in sharing recipes. And hey, he gave you some extras! Very nice!

(((Michelle)))

You're right...sentimental. It made me laugh at the time, but now it just makes me sad. Total PMS right now so crying at the drop of a hat anyway. What is, is, right? No point in dwelling on all that is lost.

Julia - a 4th of July party in England?????? WTH???? Aren't you all still ticked over the upstart colonials kicking your butts? American friends over there throwing a party?

Personally, I didn't get to have a 4th of July fun day like I usually do. I had to work last night from 5-11p so that meant no beer, no fireworks....bummer. I bought some fireworks at work before I left and Marc and I shot them off in the middle of our street last night when I got home while blasting the Beastie Boys "You gotta fight for your right" at the top volume and me drinking my one beer I had in the fridge.

Like I said, my emotions are on a major rollercoaster right now but I don't think this feeling is coming from that. I feel I've managed to run my own family out of my life. Not one member of my family contacted me about 4th of July plans, no one calls me....ever....I'm the one that always calls and it seems like I'm being an intrusive bother to them when I do. I only call to ask what they've been up to, what's been going on with the other members of the family, etc.. I make sure to not mention anything about my life, such as it is, because it's totally boring anyway. I don't like to talk about it since it's nothing but bad news. So why should they be avoiding me? I don't get it! I'm not Debbie Downer anymore, I don't ask for sympathy or a shoulder, I don't ask for anything from them other than contact but they don't seem to want that. Why? What have I done? Do you think that the past 18 months of misery has finally driven them so insane that they can't stand the thought of hearing from me? It's probably been more than 6 months since I last cried on my cousin's shoulder. She has so many things going on in her immediate family that I wish I could help her with but have no answers for. I try to be an open shoulder for her, but she doesn't want it apparently. She's the closest thing I have to a sister but she seems to dislike me immensely now. What should I do? Just let the R go? Be aquaintances and let all the years of closeness die? I'm just confused by this.

OK....enough. That's my current dilemma. Sorry to dump. Again....just very emotional right now.

Hey magnificent!!! Stop ASSUMING why people didnt contact you... It could hundred of other things and not that they dislike you!!! Maybe your cousin is too self involved right now, you said there a lot of things going on in her life currently... Maybe people know your work schedule and dont want you to feel you cant join them?

It's definitely PMSing, at least 90% of it. Relax and stop thinking this way. Sorry your 4th of July wasnt that great. Next year you have to make it great. Promise?
Love
