I haven't been here for some time. Thankfully it is because things have been SO QUIET since not having to deal with skids!

So why are you writing you ask?

First my DH found out AFTER they moved that his son moved from Detroit area to
Chicago area. SS won't say when they moved. When my DH tried to call him and wish him a Happy Thanksgiving, he had to leave a message. As a reply to his call, my DH got a very short email that included "By the way, we moved to Chicago"! :?

When asked via email "When did this happen?" no response.

I tried to keep out of it as best I can, but with just the two of us in this small house - things come out.

We blew it off. No surprise, the SS and his new wife (who is a real piece of work) were always self-absorbed, this is just another example of it.

So what is bothering me??? We got a Photo Postcard Christmas Card from them. It has a HUGE photo of them on the front of the card, and a picture on the back. Not sure if SS's wife did it intentionally or not, but she placed her hand above her husband's waist so you can see the big three diamond engagement ring she was wearing. She was always into flashing that thing around.

We have a tradition of hanging up Christmas cards we receive. I was hoping I could stand to see her face and the ring - and/or ignore it - but it didn't work. I thought about drawing horns and fangs on her picture, but felt that was too immature. I thought about putting it up backwards, but their photo is on the back also! Then I finally taped a piece of paper over her face and wrote on it "She who will not be seen"

How do others deal with Photo Christmas cards they receive from their Skids? I am surprised just the sight of her is so distasteful to me. By now I should be over it, no? We don't see them or hear from them, so it surprised me I reacted this way.
