The American daughter-in-law was not in the cards, nor part of the deal.
The dice rolled.
I am the odd one out.
Enough said, let’s play cards, I play to win!
Pair of threes and a Six, doesn’t mean the same Thing.

C – After 15 plus years, it’s time they got over it. Hope DH is a good protector. Be a total cardshark!!! As the marines say – “Oo-RAH!!”

You’re an American at heart. You know how to outsmart the cards!
-
No, it does not mean the same thing. Six is bigger, it is even and it is the sum of the other two.
My thoughts about my in-laws has been the source of much stress for me. I can relate on many levels! I also played to win, before I saw it was not a contest. There was nothing to win. I already had what I thought they could give. I never saw they did not have it until they both died.
The dice are fabulous as are you! However this shakes out you are a winner to me.
PS:Cookie crumbs are yummy and make a great topping on ice cream! You are loved! -
Just be happy you aren’t truly related, and have that blood running through your veins! No, yours is clean of all that craziness!
Hang in there baby girl, don’t let them see you sweat!

My money’s on you Dear Corey! ….and this is only day two?…!!!!

Odd man out can be an advantage.. And also be a hidden gem. 😉 You could have a few tricks up your sleeve or blend in and pretend… At least I’ve been able to do that…

oh, very criptique. Does this mean you wanted an American Daughter in-law, or someone else didn’t?
I’m seriously considering only allowing my children to meet suitable partners who reside in places I approve of (ie, near to me). -
Oh dear! MIL can spell disaster, to be sure! Here’s wishing you the strength and stamina to survive a hard game of poker!
Win you will!
Love to you ~ Josephine -
Your few words spoke volumes. You are definitely a winner!

Sending hugs your way !!!

It matters not what lies before us
It matters not what lies behind us
What matters is what lies within us.

I am singing that song to you
Lean on Me!………………..
Blessed be my precious one!
I love you dearly! -
Oh oh oh. I have a saying for these moments, but I will respect the fact that your language is, um… classier than mine, and just say that ANYone should happy to have you! Play hard.

I’ve just found your blog and I just wanted to tell you it’s really lovely.
I’m very much the odd one out here too and sometimes I bite my tongue so much it hurts. -
I was an australian daughter in law for an australian son – twice and I still wasn’t in the cards. Luckily I moved on to another card game and the dice rolled in my favour.
Now I am the australian mother in law and I am just thankful that a daughter in law came along and took my son of my hands – oh, I love him TO DEATH but it is good that he has flown the nest!
you know french husband loves you !
a saying here is ‘don’t let the turkeys get you down’
sending much love to you ms*corey xoxo -

i totally know what it’s like to be the “odd (wo)man out”…it’s not cool…but this can be a good thing because you are your own unique self and wouldn’t you rather be you than them?!

mary ann 🙂 -

dear corey, you are never the ODD one in my book…how they could fail to appreciate you is beyond me. just know that we are your “aces in the hole” as they say…I bet they don’t have friends and supporters around the world like you do!
