[QUOTE="witzend, post: 426650, member: 99"] Mine had it's difficult moments, but husband and I made a nice pot roast and new potatoes and asparagus and ate it on our own. Later we got into a tiff because someone had taken a few nice photos of us - I haven't had my photo taken on purpose in 20 years because of a very noticeable facial deformity when I smile - and I thought these ones didn't look half bad. It was easier because I was with husband and happy and at ease at the time they were taken. I was getting somewhat comfortable with getting my photo taken again and husband finally glances at these and says "I won't even bother looking, I ruin every photo I'm in." I give up. He knows how I feel about having my photo taken, and he makes it all about thinking his face is round? Got a call from M, he says he sent me a card but figures it will be late. I'm not holding my breath, but at least he made some sort of personal contact. Got a text from L, "Happy Mother's Day Xoxo". It's the same thing she got me last year. The girl wears designer clothes and designer bags and designer shoes, and her birthday is practically a national holiday. Her father gets taken to dinner and a gift every Father's Day, birthday, and Christmas. I remembered her at Christmas with a gift even though we dont' celebrate, and remember her on her birthday every year with a specific traditional gift and dinner. I get bupkus. Last year when she sent the same text I was foolish and replied "thank you", so that made it her MD tradition with me. This year I was realistic and replied "Is this really what I get for Mother's Day from now on?" No reply. I'm sure that makes me an ingrate. [/QUOTE]
