I am almost postive it is one of us having a laugh at Sybils expense. I doubt Sybil herself has the humor in her to poke fun at herself.
As for [domain blocked due to spam], she is still ranting and raving on there like a psycho lunatic. Some things never change. What gets me is if she hates us all so much that she has to devote her life to ragging on us then why does she continue to post here under one of her aliases as if nothing ever happened?
Those rants are still going on? Wow.
I've been reading & organizing/decluttering the past several days in my free time. After reading the new post, glad that is what I've been doing. Makes me a lot happier

Yeah. I was bored earlier and got caught up over there. It was good for a giggle at first but really how many times can one keep ranting the same bs. It got pretty boring quickly. Lather, rinse, repeat.
So the inlaws left today, I want to say "finally" but that would sound like I don't love them and I do. It's just after 7 days I start to get annoyed even though I try really hard not to.
There's something about parents - they tend to stay parentish even after their kids are in their 40's, (I guess I'll do the same when dd's grown) and coming from a family of exactly one person besides myself I find the whole thing unbearably smothering after a while. They mean extremely well, bless em, but I'm glad we have our space back.
I haven't had one minute to lurk over here let alone post, so I hope everyone's holiday was what they were hoping for and you all had a fabulous time.
I must get caught up on the going's on around here.

We've all been busy during the Christmas Season, decoration, cooking, family coming to stay....My holiday was fantastic, family, food, sharing...
now I have the time to sit back and enjoy the memories that this past Christmas has given me and I will treasure them dearly!!! And of course to check out things that have been going on here...
How can we AVOID becoming our parents when we become grandparents? We have to find out! I don't want it to happen to me!
I know! Buggered if I know. Let me know if you find out. (Wow lots of knows in that line).
I'm hoping I can strike a better balance - appreciating my kid is a grown adult (when that happens, can't really imagine it yet) while still biologically my kid (if that makes sense).
I think my MIL has a hard time not being in charge of every situation at every given moment too, which doesn't help. She's doing a pretty good job of trying not to control every little thing but it creeps in every now and then.
I have to say though, she has told me that she thinks we're wonderful parents because she tried to have everything be totally perfect when MrFinsterRufus was a kid and she wished she had been a little more relaxed in her approach. Which I think was hard for her to admit, and it was very self aware and generous of her to do so.

What a sweet compliment! That alone was worth their visit!

Well, it was almost cancelled out by the red and white and green courdoroy monstrosity with gingerbread people she brought for mini FR to wear on Christmas Eve, but not quite.
I jest. (mostly). Yes, it was very sweet.
