Family Funnies

True .My mother in law is one of those people that if she doesn't do it it was done wrong.
I made dinner and all she could say was its OK.But if I was to say that to her she would run to her room and cry for 2 days.One day my wife and I were complaining that we itched all the time.I thought it strange that only we did until I asked the boys.They both said that's why they shower 4 times a day.So I question my wife on what laundry detergent she was using cause maybe it was the soap.Well she assured me that it was not the soap.
So I assisted her in doing the laundry one day and saw what brand she used.It seemed to be a good one.After starting the first load we retired to the den to watch a show when I noticed her mom go upstairs.
The laundry room is there and I heard the washing machine get louder.Hey someone went into the laundry room.At that moment the washer stopped and I
know I heard the door shut .Then the machine started again.
So now I'm thinking she put more clothes in but maybe not.
Well after the show I went up and put the washed clothed in the dryer and a new load in the washer.But just to be sure I marked the soap box on where the level was and placed a dime on top.
Sure enough as soon as I came down up goes the mom.Off goes the machine then back on.
After the machine stopped I went up removed the dry clothes folded them and proceeded to remove the second load.But first I checked for the dime.GONE.And the soap level was down too.
After a conversation with my wife she questioned her mother and she admitted to putting soap in but accused me of not putting it in.
Itchy problem solved.She was doubling the soap amount and we were getting it on our skin which was causing us to itch.She still goes in and adds soap to this day because only she knows the right amount and we couldn't possibly know how to wash clothes.
The funny thing is we have 1 of those new washer that requires little soap and you can only put so much in.So she was complaining after we told her that this machine uses less water and soap.Now I'm waiting to see how she adds more water.

BEAUTIFUL STUCTURES

This is another reason I love Brasil.The use of colors and the architecture .No HOA here either although they are some developments there already.The past is so much prettier than the present.In my opinion.If I could have a home like this here I would be content.

Adoption

Directory of General BlogsI and my wife are planning on adopting again.Yes did it twice now and i really would like to have family support.But every time it is the same thing.Dint adopt it is wrong You should leave them along.Well i cant just stand to see children abandoned.My first child was abandoned in the hospital and a nurse took him home since no one would care for him.Well she found out I would adopt him and called us.To make a long story short it took almost 2 years.And the major problem was the US consulate.I swear the guy in charge must have wanted money because every time i did what he wanted he would add another thing.When i asked why he said he forgot .He did that at least 6 times.Only only he transferred out,they do that every 3 years, and a new guy came in did it happen.He just stamped it.In the mean time while we were doing all the run around another child was left on my doorstep. he was 6 12 hours old.

So leave a comment if you want me to go on. thanks

Ranting monday

Directory of General BlogsA;right people I've had it with all the iphone stuff.If you look you will see that we are 15 years behind japan in there cell technology they have 3 g and soon four g and we barely have 2 g.WHY you asked? B because they want to pump every nickel out of your pocket that's why.
And what about the AT&T spying for the government ? Don't think that stopped do you. No now its even easier.Stick to the basic and save your money because soon you wont need a cell phone.
And why do i have to deduct minutes from my phone when someone calls me?Other countries don't do this and they also allow others to call you when your minutes are up.

Remember this is ranting Monday and Ive stat red a new theme.Every Monday i will vent my crazy anger here.Maybe then ill be calmer.
To the people who live near me i love this area full of Latinos and it is more family related but WHY ALL THE COPS?Every where here there are cops.At the grocery store the mall the sandwich shops.Did someone see a terrorist in the neighborhood?Maybe but Ive never seen one cop on the north side of town walking they supermarket parking lots.Is it because there white? Is it because you're not? Yes I'm white but my heart must not be because i love this Latino culture.Everyone is nice to me.Kids still play in the area and people talk to each other.
Someone needs to have some family values taught and i mean those white people from the north.Lighten up.Why did you come here?
When i told a college that i was moving out here he responded i wouldn't like it. i asked him ,since he lived here already why. His response to many Mexicans.Well since Ive been married to a Latino for 22 years it insulted me and i told him so.His response :oh that's different ,she looks white:
NOT you idiot maybe that's why your wife screwed your best friend who for some stupid reason is still your best friend.Are you stoopid?
YES.
There i feel much better.

Moving

Today i am leaving the home I rented and moving to the one left to rent.Remember that I need to rent before I may go back to Brazil and be with my family.It is a nerve racking time and my anxiety is high.I need to be calm .One group of renters wants to come in early today and the other one wants to wait and leave Sunday without paying.Boy is in for a shock.Not only is he supposed to pay by the first (Sunday) but he will be late and have to pay a 10% fee.And he thinks his deposit will cover the last 6 weeks of his rent .Plus he thinks he is doing me a favor by moving out.He did not want to renew and still has a lease for 6 weeks.The courts wont be favorable to him.
I will be off line for 3 days until I get into that home.I have already transferred the Internet service to there but for some reason they cant disconnect and reconnect on the same days.
Remember I still need to come up with ticket money to Brazil too
