I read somewhere that 93.7% of the US population does this. And also 50% of the remaining 6.3% claim to have never told a lie, while 28% of the remaining 3.15% think all stats are valid regardless of the source of the stats and the data analysis used on them. Finally 1% of the remaining people think this post was funny.

62% think statistics don't need to be proven to be true. 62% think statistics must be proven in order to be true.

.00000000001% think evidence is unnecessary for scientific research.

My in-laws especially my mother in law is just a royal pain in the a$$.

Currently my sister and her husband just drive us nuts. We try to get together with them in order for the children but ever plan is meet with resistance or they will make the plans then cancel at the last second; which is just a joy to explain to a 4 year old who was hoping to play with his cousins.

The biggest one of late resulted in us not speaking with them for a month. My parents for Xmas said they rent a house in Rehoboth for the summer for a week as a gift to both families. Everyone was excited on Xmas days and for a few months making plans and what not. Well come April my BIL decide he just can't go there to many homosexuals he can't expose his children to that. So after much debate my parents canceled the house and the trip is off thanks to my homophobic BIL.

This is why I am a proponent of the Lizzie Borden School of Family Therapy.

I have toured her house.

Any who you can add extended family vacations to the list of gear grinds as well. I hate to say it but when my trip was cancelled a small part of me was happy and a big part of me was happy that my BIL was the bad guy in all of this.

Your Sister/BIL and my SIL/BIL would get along just fine. Thanks to their #$R$% attitude toward my son, my daughter and her cousin can't play together (my niece is the only other girl cousin the same age range as my daughter in the extended family of ~15 cousins). They have essentially said my son isn't welcome in their home and are shocked that my wife & I would take the position that none of us will be going to their home until they change their opinion on that issue.

As I said, should be f'ing interesting come Thanksgiving/Christmas.

Not a saint? um, that's like saying Hitler was just misunderstood. Your ex was just about evil incarnate - actually, evil models itself after your ex. The reason everyon (not just me) held "on to things SOO long" was b/c your wonderful wifey never let anyone forget anything.

As for mom, it was EXACTLY the way it looked - to me, to Dad and to the court. Grey was not a shade in play at the time.

Ever think maybe your characterization, or lack there of, may have had something to do with me not talking to you all for so long. Yeah, I want to hear family dragging my wife at the time's name through the mud every time I tried to call, just because she's German and set in her ways. And civil property damage penalties - when Dad acted the way he did, yeah, of course Dad's going to see it the way you wanted your lawyer friends to portray it what a joke!

It ain't worth it Panda, he starts going on and on, I mean you think that his warpath responses are legal briefs. My god his phone "conversations" are like listening to a poorly executed Supreme court pleading.

What grinds my gears today? Having to wake up Sunday morning at 7:30am to correct a mistake somebody else made. Seems like they feel I should be made to wake up and fix the blunder they did instead of making them do it as punishment. Good job shutting down a core uplink and causing 1/3 of the campus and VoIP phones to go down you down you dumb ass bitch, and thank you for opportunity of having to wake up early on a day off just to correct your mistake.
