I couldnt help but laugh too. Im glad you still have your sense of humour.
I used to obsess over why my outlaws turned on me after Elvis when to the pokey. Then one day it dawned on me. . These are not the nice caring people I thought they were for 30 yrs. Obviously all that was an act. It upsets me to be treated like crap so why do I go there. So now if they invite me over for some event and they play nice I stay. If not I dont bother to argue I just very cheerily announce I think its time for me to go home now and I leave. Last time I was there a whole ten minutes. They keep inviting me over for stuff and then they act hurt if I say I have other plans. I think either theyre nuts or they were looking forward to verbally abusing me and I ruined it for them. LOL..
BTW I am not going there for Christmas this year. Theyll have to find some other way to amuse themselves. . ;-)
