Can you get a webcam in your house with an audio uplink?

Now THIS is reality tv...

 

Give it another two weeks you'd probably have some great footage!

 

lol@colossus.

Sounds like your having...fun? In that really sarcastic sense of the term.

Best of luck with it. Keep us posted, probably feels good to "explain how its going".


Chado


ps. What could we name a reality show of this sort...I'm sure thers something fitting

 

I feel for you. Sorry you have to put up with that.

How about doing everything she hates, she might just leave sooner.

 

Thanks for the update. Don't sound like you're killing each other yet. You might just casually mention that red wine is good for your heart. Oh. and get a lock put on the bedroom door.

 

If I ever have to live with one of my kids I just hope he or she has not hooked up with someone like yourself.
jor

 

What's that supposed to mean Jor?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Who and what are you referring to Jor? Seems to me that Border is coping with the situation pretty good. I'd just advise her to be as nice as she can and be the one to start something.

My mother lived on a farm by herself for 35 years after my father died in 1965. A few years ago, when she was 93 she had a mini stroke when we were visiting her. My brothers and sisters and I got together and discussed putting her in a nursing home. At the time I was living in Florida, self employed and renting so my wife and I moved in with her on her farm in Illinois. It wasn't too much fun, but we got by. After living alone for 35 years she was a bit set in her ways. Anyway, best thing to do is try to ignore the little things and try to get along.

 

This is like one of those Soap's on TV

Good luck with your live-in situation. Give it more time (like the 11 weeks and everything will turn out fine.

I wasn't being sarcastic...

I just want to watch something different for the fall line-up.

 

Hey now, get real. You were hoping for one of those bedroom cams weren't you.

 

Uhh...No...

If I wanted to watch that kind of trash, I would watch HBO.

I just want to see some arguing...let all the little boys in the world know the full truth of the mother-in-law before its too late...

 

Well i'm not going to be the one to start something or argue with her. I'm very nice and polite and try to stay out of her way. ALthough this morning my boyfriend and her got into a big yelling match, so there's some arguing between them, i'm just not going to get involved! I'm trying to keep the peace or the next 11 weeks will be long!

 

Now were getting somewhere!!! What were they arguing about?
