I'm wearing R2D2 earrings today. They're from a Canadian Etsy shop. Yesterday's earrings: my own pair of bat'leths in wood, from a different Canadian Etsy shop!

Still thinking about looking for some Star Trek delta earrings, since they're likely to be recognised more than the others as being Trek related - the bat'leths are like swords, so weirdly I'm wearing weapons hanging from hooks...

What a cool idea!

That was kind of you.

This girl really appreciates everything I gave her. Over the wedding weekend, I saw her wear the sandals I gave her, as well as the Coach bag, the bracelets, the earrings, the hair pins and the nail polish. I don't have a daughter to indulge, she is just what I am waiting for

You sound like a good match.

Caution, I am feral.

I hope it will continue to be this way. Their friends threw them an engagement celebration In DC last night, she was the one who sent me almost 20 pictures all the way from 7-1am. My ex and his wife went to Los Angeles to meet with her family last week, they like the family. My son's stepmom told me that her family seemed to have genuine affection toward my son.

It's best if you can get along with the in-laws. I only had one set, and I did it both ways. Initially we got on very well, but it petered out.

It's interesting with my son and stepson. With my son we met his future wife's parents very early on. Both of them at one meeting and they are actually divorced but they still get on very well. We still get on well with them. With my stepson (who is gay) we have never met his in-laws. They seem a good family but the meeting has never happened.

She is a good person. It goes to show inlaws can get along!

The last time was about 5 years ago.

My daughter in law once said if she and my son split she would come to live with us... Shes changed her mind now.. But we still have a cool but decent relationship.

My daughters inlaws are ok.. They dont share our ideas of helping the kids out but they are not bad people.

It really helps if there is peace in the extended family.

Because my mum and my MIL lived only a couple of houses away from each other and would sometimes pop into each others houses on Mothers day they would get exactly the same card flowers and chocolates.

I didnt want either of them to visit and feel that the other had got better than they had.
