LOL...some have great people working for each other...some don't...take your pick. LOL 

Exactly. But many of us would still rather choose to paint with solid broad strokes.

OP's gone from occasional nights out to being a Stargate Frequent Flyer Card Member Holder in one post.

Did everyone forget where many of these "Hmong Concerts" are held?

Define crime.

It's fair to say what you may find punishable, I may not. Especially in the context of this thread.

BD...temptation is everywhere...j ust walk away when you feel it's dragging you towards it....resist, and resist again. If you can't resist it anymore...surr ender to it and be happy.    

Marriage is like an institution, we can walk away anytime we want, preferably in good terms.  No one can predict the future what it's going to be like.   

Based on some replies, some of these institutions sound more like a prison

Mmm. A bunch of prudes.

All kidding aside, you know yourself and your situation better than anyone of us. Whatever works for you, do so.

We do have a penchant for nepotism.

OP can't be mad then when her next post is about how she's divorced since clubbing is a learning experience. 

Well, to be fair, if one of us came back and replied that our s/o left us because they met someone who wasn't so against occasional nights out at the club, then we'd be in the same boat.

Clearly you are very narrow minded.
I know plenty of people who go to bars and club to celebrate occasions and still have their priorities together.

You're on PH. Don't be too shocked

There goes another ignorant blanket statement...

Plenty of those to go around 

I'm still unsure how some people still make an all encompassing statement and believe it to be fact.

Nothing and the only opinions that should really matter is your and your husband..

I'd agree. Besides, many of us are projecting. The truth isn't anything near as definitive as we'd all like to believe.

My wife goes out with friends, both single and married. As do I. She calls to let me know how long she'll be and whether or not to wait up for her. As do I. All because I in turn am allowed the same courtesy. Why find fault when there isn't any. And yes, all relationships are different.

It's normal to be upset. I would question the friend, however.

Sorry Lexi, but "gourmet pickled vegetables" is an oxymoron. Used to be that rich people didn't eat pickled things because pickling was a cheap way of preserving vegetables... And rich people had enough money to buy fresh veggies whenever they wanted. 

Oh, you should try pickling green beans with chili peppers and garlic. My SIL gave me one of her batches and it was good.

  Ok, I just really wanted them to appear fancy. Maybe sell them at Whole Foods like they've done with Asparagus Water. Nothing but a few spices (no msg), a variety of greens and other vegetables, and the good ol' Sun.

And yes, I've incorporated herbs into my recipe; green onions, ginger, cilantro/parsley etc. As well, I'm using a dried and grounded version of my mother's peppers as well as the whole peppers. I'm waiting for the warmer months before I continue more testing.

I might not have a culinary background but I have the best qualification for a foodie; I'm fat and I enjoy eating.

Btw, I'm experimenting with spices many Hmong palates are not accustomed to. Yum.

Unless you take all the air out I don't like freezing greens.

I've tried it. Not for me. Not a fan of the texture.

This year's team might be better than last year's Championship team. Scary thought.
