I love all the reactions to this post.

It's like they've never met amber before.

Oh man, I just realized I don't get the joke!! Is this a Proboards mole, designed just to keep newbies coming back for more??

These are the times I miss the old time ML's.

I was taken aback by the outrage and then I remembered most people don't know you around here, lol.

No, she's just amber. She's been with us for a long time. You either love her or you don't. But she leads an interesting life regardless of what side of the fence you sit on.

Thank you guys, this is awesome.
You all are correct!
They are very wonderful grandparents and do try very hard.

They had just stayed in the parking lot and talked and now we're all at the ranch.
I'll take pictures if you want.

Marrying cousins is no big deal in Lebanon, very chic.

  Thank you for the clarification.

I've bolded my side of the fence, for future reference.

Why did she change her name? Backstory for the newbs?

Pictures or it didn't happen!

Go smile nicely at the bar and someone will buy you a martini. You'll need it for the ride home. 

these people are scary but you may be right!

They are Lebanese, I am American. My h was briefly married to his fathers favorite sister's daughter. They divorced and several years later we began dating and married. 10 years ago.

Wouldn't this be his cousin?

SO CONFUSED

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

NO. NO ONE GETS A BACKSTORY.

JUST KEEP LISTENING.

[snipsnsnails]

I had no idea your DH was married before....to his cousin!

Whoa this is all sorts of messed up

[stephm0188]

You know what my favorite thing about clarissa is?

It's the way she deletes every post she ever makes. She tells some crazy wtf story and then POOF! Gone.

Amber, all I got was the "angry bear". Is that you and your MIL? lol

Sorry your ILs are assholes. You and H need key phrases for when you need to escape. We have used "I need a coffee" for years. That means I need a few minutes to myself or I'm going to explode.

This worked very well for the most part. But one time I kept repeating it and H forgot the code and got up and made coffee for me. Not the flavored kind, the bitter regular kind. I had to drink it because I'd insisted that I wanted coffee for like an hour. It was hilarious.. lol.

Roflmao!!  Thank goodness ILs don't have a coffee pot.  If so we would have to change our code.

They met as adults after the war, their parents decided their marriage would pull the family together. They had camel processions from village to village and everything.
(Ok I mean there should have been camels.)
The DID make him eat sheep balls for virility.

Omg lollllll

WAIT a minute. So your dh drove off with his parents in the car, leaving you behind? He should have left them behind, not you. Theater of the Absurd??

[HiC]

Clearly, I didn't read all the commentary.....I'm just posting from your original post because I have to pick up my kid. I'll catch up later.

[alzi]

I am LOL that the eating of balls was the emphasized as weird part of that story.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

Well, she is very... squat, isn't she?

[bcv513]

C'mon, one quick kick and she'd be out of your hair
