1. Saturday when we took my MIL to dinner for Mother's Day she was telling us about a new priest that was relocating to church near her -(my DH has asked that I not discuss religion with her, she is Catholic I am not)
2. Saturday when I got a call at 7:45 am from the buyers of my bosses house that the "pita" next door neighbor was at it again,however once the closing is over I will and plan to have plenty to say

Kwak that first question is so funny LOL I find I am in that situation frequently and my problems is I wag my tongue instead of biting it cause that can be painful. So now yall know I got a hyperactive tongue.
I typically enjoy being invited along now sometimes I hope I am not the designated driver or that I am not invited to do something I really don't want to.

What was the last situation or conversation where you felt you needed to "bite your tongue" ? That would be this:
Geez...I made an oops last night. I posted on some other Solar forums in the off grid sections. I wanted to see what other systems people were using and how they lived. Simple enough right? Nope...everyone got all in a tizzy about our batteries...but they didn't have anything "concrete" to back it up. Hubby calls it the IBM mentality, lots of engineers do this. They cannot think outside the box. Things have to be exactly the way they are taught or it is wrong. Hubby and I are so not like that. And then the fight began, lol.
Sorry for the rant. I guess I will have to add another place to stay away from along with the Politics and Religious threads

Today's Question(s):
What was the last situation or conversation where you felt you needed to "bite your tongue" ?
(purposely keep your mouth shut) Yesterday. This happens every time I visit DIL's mum. She constantly tells tales about things that happened to her years ago that I have absolutely no interest in. Yesterday, I was at the door, with the door partially opened trying to leave, and she was still going on and on about one of her sister's old, abusive boyfriends from 40 years ago--a tale I have heard countless time before. No, she has no memory deficits--she just likes to prattle on and on.
Bonus Question:
Last time you were saying to yourself
"please don't invite me to come along" or "omg I hope they don't invite me to join them" More often I am NOT invited to attend something I would like to be invited to--mostly because all the seats in their cars are already filled by others higher in the pecking order.
