AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

Is he Captain Ahab perchance?

Ooh, a very blokey book. Watch out for Greenpeace in this new job. They don't approve of that sort of thing at all.

Some surgical instruments will be handy for my lad to master this new post.

Call me Ishmael...yessiree!

AIBU to consider leaving my husband?

My father always warned me against marrying him but I wouldn't listen. Now I wonder if he was right after all.

DH is useless with money. He always said if only we had the tiniest bit more we would be happy. However, as soon as we get anything, he spends it.

The bailiffs are constantly knocking at the door. DH is no help at all when this happens - he starts threatening suicide, saying I and the DCs are better off without him.

I have always said that I will NEVER leave him. But now I am starting to re-think. AIBU?

Aw Mrs Mickcawber (sic), dump him quick before he gets you all banged up in the fleet. No place for dcs!

BalloonSlayer, you said you would never desert him! And something is bound to turn up.

AIBU to wash my hands of my brother? He has run a promising medical practice into the ground and now he has brought home a dangerous beast?

You need to look after yourself, Moomin. It could get very much worse, does he hear voices? think he can speak to animals? Encourage him to take a very long holiday far away.

Yes he does! I will pack my bags and find a husband forthwith.

I've been sent to check up on one of our managers who seems to have gone off the rails a bit. Problem is, all his staff really love him, and treat him like a bit of a king. Its really gone to his head! He is based out in the middle of nowhere, and seems to acquired a strange collecting habit, lots of little round things on sticks surround his house...AIBU in thinking he might have overstepped his remit?

Lollipops? Sounds like one of Diarmuid Gavin's gardens.
Salome you have woken up much too clever for me today.
I will leave you an easy-peasy one while I tackle the DD's pit (shudder).

AIBU to think DH is a tight-fisted git? He will not let me buy a sling but he insists on dragging me, the baby and the other DCs miles across country in all sorts of weather to look for wild animals.

See you later!

But it wasn't scary, was it? and I bet the weather was great!

Moomin, I think perhaps you're right, though he would be perfectly capable of the job if only he would apply himself. But it was all a mistake, you know; he wanted to be a naturalist-philosopher. If only students could dodge the draft! And to give my DS his due, he did his very best to avoid the pressgang. It stung when they caught him.

Salome, is the manager neglecting his rather dishy fiancee back home?

llandb, don't think so...

collecting is one way of putting it. Its more a way dealing with people who disagree with his, ah, management style.

Tisn't "the horror, the horror" is it?

very short shot, bang on target!

woo hoo!

AIBU to think I might have gone a bit far with a practical joke I played on my daughter.

She seems to be turning into Dennis the Menace. She has a catapult and spends a lot of time playing with the local flora and fauna.

I am worried that my little joke may have made her this way, but her brother thinks it is more likely to be that she is simply insecure - quite a lot of children in our family died in odd ways at an early age.

?????

I am very old indeed - totally decrepit, to be honest. AIBU to have my brain transplanted into a younger body?

Ohh - I've only just read back through the posts I missed and yes, moomin, one was somewhat regal prior to the changes in one's circumstances.

I am Sooooooo rubbish with sci fi stuff!
