This was one of the most fascinating and oddly frustrating threads of late. I relished every page.

I'm the OP of the no alcohol/water thread and I still stand by my original assertion that there should be more than just water offered at dinner parties. I'm having a big party this weekend, serving a nice dinner and here's what I'm offering as beverages (no alcohol): water, lemonade, sparkling cranberry juice, and orange juice.

Yes! It was like entering bizarro world.

Yes I loved that weird thread. And it was a rare case of almost 100% consensus, where everyone thought she was odd!

Plus, what would the repercussions of sharing be? That songs wine would steal the name (unlikely); that someone would know you posted on DCUM?

Oh hmm, that may be me. I once said that I didn't want to name the name because I can identify posters that have slammed my DD's old lady name through context and don't want to out myself. Or are we talking about someone else??

YES. She is always told that she won't have enough food, then she rejects adding any additional food, then posts a couple months later about how she didn't have enough food at the party and what to do. FEED YOUR DAMN GUESTS, LADY.

I feel like there was one person like this whose bbq menu was not enough food, which had been a problem for her at her last event, and she was eventually convinced by DCUM to have multiple dishes, resulting in a huge amount of leftovers. Is that the same person?

"OP: Last night i caught my DH in the middle of having sex with another man. He was so furious i caught him, that he beat the sh*t out of me and thew our cat across the room. I'm thinking about leaving him, but i'm scared" Response: "What did you say in your vows?"

YES!! I want to punch that guy.
There's also the one that promotes some Christian counseling thing that I can't remember the name.

Ugh, the focus on the family lady. Seriously f**k that lady. NO I DON'T WANT TO READ YOUR ARTICLE ON WHY SPANKING A 10 MONTH OLD IS THE PATH TO HEAVEN. NO THANK YOU.

Sadly this person’s subsequent hospitalization and long term effects likely deprived us of a host of frequent yet delightful posts, Mr. or Ms. “I accidentally inhaled hot oven air”.
Thoughts and prayers.

Also, dcum abstracts poster is hilarious.

But her suggestions are always fairly traditional dishes that would be easy to whip up in an Indian home with a fully stocked Indian spice rack but would be unfamiliar and not something to be made with ingredients on hand by anyone else.

Indian foods are normalized now. Have you seen the offerings in Costco? It ranges from Noga Dahi, Chakki Atta, Basmati rice, sukhi's premade meals. madras lentils. nanak paneer, rasmalai, rotis and samosas.

I think it's normalized for eating but not for cooking. I would guess that for non-Indians, 95% of the Indian food they eat is pre-made or from a restaurant.

The poster who looks down her nose at Americans. “That’s so American.” Harumph!

There’s a poster who’s obsessed with a DC radio personality “Intern john” they randomly bring him on any thread about radio and even made an individual thread for him. Nobody cares about a 27 year old radio host turned hockey coach and open mic night comics.

Also the ~30-year old poster who wants a much richer husband but she married poorer, although he has a decent 6-figure income.

I wonder if the two are actually s/o by the same poster — the original Chick fil A salad sister.

I need more information/a link IMMEDIATELY. Thank you.

Here you go. There are many more posts, but it would take me all afternoon to find them. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/552911.page

Thank you!

I remember the poster who was so mad at her visiting in-laws for eating tons of expensive snacks, especially pricey fresh fruits, but was ignoring every easy suggestion:

1) Just send DH to the store, don't let them go to the store.
2) Buy cheap fruit like apples, grapes and bananas.
3) Hide any food you don't want them to consume.

There were like 10 pages to this thread, and she just wanted to be mad about the damn organic raspberries *that she kept buying and serving.*
