[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HAHAHAHA, it really is Christmas in July. Burger King Lady is back and still is sticking to her guns.

I have to hand it to her: It's all of DCUM versus BKL and she still thinks she's right.

However, she now claims she keeps a "well-stocked fruit bowl." That's a step up from the holidays, when it was NOTHING for her poor, hungry guests. [/quote]

[b]I decorate the breakfast bar with greenery and a nativity scene during the Christmas holiday[/b], so the fruit bowl is put away and not available at that time of the year.  If my guests must eat in between meals, they can go to the gas station or Burger King but my kitchen is closed until the next planned meal.  I do not want to spend my entire day cleaning up crumbs and spills.  No thank you.

The rest of the year, I do have a lovely, well stocked fruit bowl available.  Guests are welcome to take a piece of fruit and snack on it outside.  They do not need to enter the kitchen at all to take a piece of fruit.[/quote]

As one does, natch.

You all have the ghosts of LOVELY fruit bowls from the days of yore to comfort you. Focus on the positive. [/quote]

Burger King Lady can't figure out where her popcorn and cranberry garland ran off to. Her starving guests have nibbled it away![/quote]

I just read through the whole linked thread, and what strikes me about her posts there -- as well as here -- is that everything is judged, judged, judged. Nothing can be referenced without stamping personal judgment on it.

"lovely bowl"
"disgusting feet"
"nice meal"
"wonderful holiday meal"
"heavy meal"
"wrong drawer"
"naturally neat and tidy"
"lovely home" [[I]lovely[/I] is a real favorite]
"delicious food"

… on and on and on. So many adjectives! It's how you can tell which are her posts.

I just imagine her walking through her day with a running mental commentary on the lamppost, that person's shoes, the texture of the brick, OMG. Exhausting and so very sad.

A lovely, well-stocked fruit bowl featuring BEAUTIFUL FRUIT.

The most ripe, perfect, delicious pear in the world isn't going to see a 10-year-old boy through 8 hours of no food, lady. You are crazy.

I am so glad I found this thread. My ILs are garden-variety quirky and annoying, but at least they feed me! :)[/quote]

Perhaps they will feed you on a ripe pear with some smoked gouda and a tiny glass of Frangelico hazelnut cordial. :D[/quote]
