I too would want to sneak bites (of course). But good for Ron - maybe he is looking at your success and getting some inner motivation to work on himself. As we all know that self-motivation is the first step.

IMHO people like her will always have to have the last word so best to stop engaging now. I like the idea of burning it...

Thanks for the chuckle :)
That lost pair of glasses is the first of many. Buy them in bulk.

Today is taco Tuesday isn't it? I was going to make them this week but I already cooked something last night that we need to eat the 2 open nights before DSD arrives. Definitely will have to make them for Cinco de Mayo!
I think our children sometimes still think they need to be the center of our attention at most times. It is good for them to realize that now that they are adults that can't always be the case.

So sorry that your Mom does this. She must be very unhappy.
I think attitude through life usually determines how an individual will react to tough cir****tances. My Mom drank after tragedies that were too much for her and was miserable to be around during that period but when she finally became sober she was actually an optimistic, humorous person and rarely complained. I see people my age dealing with lots of past and present issues but pushing through them and enjoying whatever they can. Others take to their couch for any small thing and end up spending all their time there complaining about their lot in life to anyone who will listen.

Ah, but sometimes it's not about HER change her thinking or opinion or coming around. It's about getting to have your say, whether she hears it or not. Sending the note/text/email is about getting it off your chest. Those of us who feel unheard often forego the opportunity to be heard in ugly situations because we're supposed to be "nice". So, we sit in our own **** while it festers.
One need not always take the high road. There will be time for that later, once you have said your say. Sometimes you just need to get dirty before standing up, dusting yourself off and taking the damn high road. Give the b/witch a piece of your mind!

Thank you, my dearest Peps!!! We think similarly. My inner self is howling to defend myself, but the people I've shared it with have said to ignore it because nothing I say will change her thinking; that it just prolongs the inevitable and feeds her anger. But, gah! The injustice is sticking in my craw!
Personally, I think you should send it to her. It is clear, concise and lacks emotion, which IMO is PERFECT. Frankly, you deserve the last word. She's a whackadoodle and needs a comeuppance! But, I've got a ***** streak a mile deep that opens wide when my friends are wronged. Less so when someone messes with me, but damn, mess with my friends and my inner ***** be ready to rumble!
