My mom will NOT get on a plane for any reason. Four years and she has yet to visit us, even when we explained there was no way we could afford 6 tickets back to the states from Germany but we could easily afford one ticket for her to come visit us. She sends me every anti-Obama/pro-republican forward that crosses her computer screen. I love her dearly, but she is driving me nuts!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-79047474283198645752010-04-01T11:14:40.941-04:002010-04-01T11:14:40.941-04:00I have a feeling if my in-laws can't drive to ...I have a feeling if my in-laws can't drive to visit us in their Lincoln they won't be visiting.

You'll miss them when you're in Ougadougou.<br /><br />And hey - @ Daring Adventure - there's a whole group in Beijing that plays Euchre. They stopped inviting me because I Just. Don't. Understand. the rules. (or maybe it was because I tell the same jokes over and over - not 100% sure about that.)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950448336879028108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-23950268462142078102010-04-01T02:56:30.101-04:002010-04-01T02:56:30.101-04:00My dad is from Toledo and every single trip to vis...My dad is from Toledo and every single trip to visit the relatives started off with the "Ohio joke" as it came to be known. <br /><br />Oh, and I agree with Naoma about the house and schools. It also doesn't hurt when the maid irons their clothes, or you show them around the Embassy.<br /><br />My favorite quote from my father-in-law (after viewing my older daughter's school presentation...lucky they planned it during his trip to Reykjavik), "This place beats the pants off any school back home!" If he had any doubts about us going overseas, they were erased for good at that point!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545024934754374573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-49542238986108518402010-03-31T17:34:47.147-04:002010-03-31T17:34:47.147-04:00LOL, Naoma!

EUCHRE! My family's reason for living! (Well, "horse euchre," to be exact, but plain euchre is halfway there!) <br /><br />Love the midwest game playing thing. Totally grew up that way.

(I think all of our parents & in-laws are in the same club). The answer to why you're joining State Dept. will be a little easier to answer after they visit you in your big house and see how great your kids are doing in their very nice private schools. <br /><br />NKLLeesOnTheGohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15324645866349920944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-55358828994508752902010-03-31T13:46:42.926-04:002010-03-31T13:46:42.926-04:00I got asked, when I joined, why I wanted to "...I got asked, when I joined, why I wanted to "join Bush's war machine." I said to be with my wife (and I considered, since this was a professor, saying, and to earn twice what I could as a professor).<br /><br />My in-laws, on the other hand, think State is a bastion of liberalism and has turned their daughter into a left wing wacko.Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856750834804127824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885312140856145961.post-34026630212477427432010-03-31T10:33:21.254-04:002010-03-31T10:33:21.254-04:00I'm getting nervous your in-laws are my parent...I'm getting nervous your in-laws are my parents...David L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16507045630471874296noreply@blogger.com
