AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

AIBU in expecting to be left alone on my birthday with my toyboy without being interrupted by annoying clergy?

AIBU to be really narked at the people staring over my front (high) wall from the double decker bus?

I know that locally I'm seen as being a bit odd, living on my own with my mother and all that. But the way people stare onto my front garden and driveway makes me feel like someone is casing the house.

One teenager in particular keeps staring. Looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth but I've seen her around. She has a knowing foxy look about her and I would trust her an inch.

Hang on llandb! I might be wrong here but would your three sons be very home between two slices of bread with some lettuce and tomato?

Moomin, I fear you are right; I am a bad mother . Maria CC, though I attribute the youngest DS's survival to diligence rather than specific local knowledge, I think his bacon was partly saved by knowing to always keep a store of boiled drinking water in case of emergency.

Too much of that unfamilar shiny yellow thing in the sky today so off to sleep - 'night all

Ooh Maria, we crossed posts in the aether and yes you would be right

Haven't a clue about anyone else's but looking forward to seeing the answers in the morning

Me too! Lots of new ones here though so more tomorrow!

I echo salome's thought about never wanting this thread to end. What will I do?

Pooka, you should have got some net curtains.
Now, I think you are going to have to rely on that nice solicitor.
Never trust anyone with slate-blue eyes.

pooka, I did that one yesterday! But it may help you to know, the little tart went off to Copenhagen with a married man called Chadwick. Just thought it might help you in your enquiries....

AIBU to think that Richard III can't have been a murderer? I'm well-known for being able to spot criminals and he just doesn't look that evil.

OK, another one before I head off to bed.

My eldest son has recently been seeing a rather brash american girl - her father is very wealthy, I understand. I know the dear boy has a long-standing arrangement with an older lady, but she can do nothing to help us maintain the old abbey. We had hoped that DS2's (rather unsuitable) marriage might bring in some much-needed cash, but his DW is such a spendthrift she costs more than she brought with her. AIBU in encouraging DS1 to make a move on the american girl?

lots of lovely AIBUs for tomorrow. night night gals.

Morning ladies. Some very puzzling AIBUs there.

But, Jellycat, you're meant to be resting. How can you recover if you insist on detecting in your state. Now, eat your grapes and drink up your Lucozade.
And yes, I do think the hospital staff are surprisingly knowledgeable about English history.

And as I have no clue about any of the others.

AIBU to dress my LO in a fancy outfit, let his curls grow, and send him to stay with a snobby relation who won't let me darken his door?

Little Lord Fauntleroy, Moomin? Have never read it, just heard about it.

Mornin' all! You're all too sharp in the morning for me. (Same applies in arvo and evening).

So, AIBU to sell my lustrous long hair to a wig-maker?

Spot on Poledra, dear little Cedric, need a bit more help with your last one...which is bugging me.

llandb, YABU it is your one beauty! But it was in a good cause.

llandb, that reminds me - WIBU to not appreciate my eldest DD until she gave her life to save my youngest DS from a horrible death?

Actually, I don't think she was the eldest but she was the most dominant personality.
And I have so many children I can't be expected to remember every little detail.

Ah well, Moomin, there are 4 of these american girls, but the one DS1 has his eye on is by far the most beautiful - blonde, blue-eyed. Her younger sister is so shy and still very much under the influence of her governess, whom I believe, by the way, once cared for my young daughters.

Moomin, it was in a good cause, but misguided, I fear. Though I think you suspect me of filial devotion and naughty thoughts vis-a-vis that dishy woodsman bloke. Don't tell hubby or he'll be heartbroken, though as we live on the other side of the Atlantic, he may discount it.

As for your DD, I shall have to ponder this one...

Poledra, would these American young ladies be of a buccaneering disposition?

Spot on, Moomin - one of my favourite books! RL calls now (Sunday lunch with friends, damn their eyes!) but will be back later. Don't fill up the thread too much!

Have a nice lunch Poledra. I loved The Buccaneers too.

llandb, have I got the wrong hair sacrificer? I don't remember a dishy woodsman. But if you're the one I am thinking of, you were a lunatic not to snap up the lovely boy next door.

Aibu to be apprehensive about our move? We can no longer afford to live where we are or farm our own land. In fact the bank now owns our house and land so we have no choice.

DH & the Dcs believe there's work to be had at the other end of the country, but it will involve a lot of travel and I'm not convinced life will be much better for us when we get there. Aibu?

Hmm, I thought you thought I was the wrong hair sacrificer (the one who fancied the D.W.) as I would have described my hair as my one asset but not necessarily my one beauty, unlike poor plain D.W.-fancier.

But it seems that there is yet another hair sacrificer in the mix! There are so many of us. I don't recall the boy next door, but perhaps it is because I have eyes only for my husband. Well, I've gone and done it; I've sold my hair; and used the money to buy hubby an anniversary present.

Do you mean to say there's a lad next door with his eye on me? Or if I figure out who the third hair-sacrificer is, will it help me figure out who the mother with the unappreciated DD is?
