[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL: brings groceries with her every single time she visits (we live in DC, which does have grocery stores). She once brought us a giant ham that stayed in our fridge for ages until we realized we had no idea what to do with it. Only makes one cup of coffee at a time in our 12 pot coffee maker, drives my husband insane. Cleans our kitchen, but puts every item away someplace new. It's a little scavenger hunt after they leave.

FIL: Plays basketball in a Senior league, keeps trying to get the neighbor kids to play with him when he visits. Strictly a Coke drinker. Says to grandson, "Have I hugged you yet today? Give me a hug!" about a hundred times a day.

I adore them.

But a Senseco or one cup Keriug for her
  I hate coffee that sits for even 10 minutes.[/quote]

Keriugs are filthy machines.  Do a little research about how they are impossible to clean and bacteria slime grows inside of them.  Not to mention the cups are SO wasteful.  It'd be better to just make a fresh pot of coffee every time you want a fresh cup...[/quote]

Yes I quit using the Keurig bc it seemed to never be clean despite my daily attempts! We use one of those cone shaped things where you stick a filter in, measure your coffee and pour boiling water over it so it brews into your cup. At Starbucks they call it pour over coffee.

My dad leaves silly messages on my voice mail every holiday. He sings very dramatic versions of the happy birthday song on my birthday, says "Ho, ho, ho, merry Christmas! on Christmas, gobbles like a turkey on thanksgiving, and sings Peter cottontail on Easter. My favorite is his anniversary song though. He also votes in every election and has all of his "I voted" stickers lined up in his garage. [/quote]
