The plural is "mothers in law" - but that's letting the teacher in me out!

Car Elf is right mother in laws, they try to tell you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, at what time to comeback home, what to eat, what not to eat such as chocoltae, yeah those mothers in laws have plenty of laws to make your life a miserable law.

This the thing about mother in laws

*Martha's Way Vs. My mother in laws Way*

Martha's way: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still
cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for
an instant "fix me up"

My way: If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's just too
bad.

My motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it
tastes.

**********************
Martha's way: To easily remove burnt-on food from your skillet, simply
add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan,
and bring to a boil on stove top.

My way: Eat out every night and avoid cooking.

**********************
Martha's way: To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
with the potatoes.

My way: Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for
up to a year.

**********************
Martha's way: To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt
to the water before hard boiling.

My way: Who cares if they crack, aren't you going to take the shells off
anyway?

**********************
Martha's way: To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to
room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen
counter before squeezing.

My way: Buy the lemon or lime juice that is in the little plastic lemon
or lime.

**********************
Martha's way: Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer.

*Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes,
brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous
china.

*Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase fill
with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets.

*Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water
and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.

*Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four
Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if
necessary).

My way: Put your jewelry, vases, and thermos in the toilet. Add some
Alka-Seltzer and you have solved a whole bunch of problems at once.

 

I guess I missed Cari's posting.....

remind me not to come over for dinner at your house LOL

 

Oooops I forgot to delete that part, and you are right was not Carielf, I was thinking about her because of the other tread, was karmagirl who said the mother in laws, and you are absolutely right.

I'd be more worried about that instinct to flush the toilet.

Has someones mother in law been visiting?

This whole thing reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld when Kramer was saving time by "cleaning" his food while he was taking a shower.

I like how the germaphobes were eating his food when he off-handedly mentions "I prepared it as I bathed"...

I thought people always appreciated honesty. :notsure:

I wish they would give Kramer his own show again.Hes great.

Weird stuff always happens to Kramer, and he ends up on top.

Weird stuff always happens to George (the king of the idiots!), but he ends up in the shit. (:(


Ahh, Independent George vs Relationship George... those were the days.

One of my favorite episodes was when Kramer had the Japanese business men sleeping in his dresser drawers.  I don't know why I found it so funny.....

Favourite Kramerism ever: Adopting that mile of the highway.

Think about it. He does his garbage collection in rush hour traffic (then rolls it all into the forest), turns a four-lane expressway into a "two-lane comfort cruise", and spills enough paint thinner on the highway to set Newman's truck on fire. I still can't shake that image of Newman singing horribly, when everything around him suddenly catches fire, and he panics like only Newman can. LOL

can we talk about Father Ted?
