Thread Drift

I couldn't find the thread where we were discussing very small houses. But isn't this:
http://podhouse.ch/
one of the cutest chalets/cabins you've ever seen?

It appeals to me enormously, even though it's lacking about a zillion of the practical details I'd need irl. I guess it's more of a comfy alternative to a tent, rather than a real cabin. Apart from the fact that you can't lug it into the wilds, but have to stick to camping grounds and other places with road access. *sigh*

But it's so cute!

...and we have yet another spammer tactic - picking out pieces of other peoples old posts and re-posting them. Hadn't seen that one before. I thought it sounded familiar...

I could not either but that house is nice. Speaking of small houses I had 4 people see my condo Friday and Saturday. Next is to see if they like it and qualify based on credit etc. Meanwhile back to packing.

OK, just looking for an opinion here. This is regarding my slightly "unbalanced" friend. The one whose Facebook posts annoyed me.
We went out with her and her DH on Sat. It was OK, apart from the fact she loudly told our server,"No, we are not going to the show at the club across the street, because we are too old to stay out late ." But, the next day, we were out with DS and DIL. When we mentioned we had been out with my friend, my DIL told me that the last time they were at our house for a holiday, my friend cornered her and started telling her that she needed to "seriously rethink her ideas about her career if she has a baby, you know you have to be home for when they get home, like I did... my husband travelled and I always had to be there..." OK, now I am long past the mommy wars stage and I know she is saying this to justify her own choices. In fact, she still "stays home," despite the fact her son is long out of the house.
I feel that when she starts lecturing a member of my family about personal life choices, she has crossed a boundary. I asked my DIL if she knew that my friend had issues, and she said yes. I also asked if she knew what my friend said is just not true and it's a personal decision. Then, I looked at my son and asked him if he felt like he was "f***ed up" because I worked. His response was that he felt he had a lot of attention from both me and my DH, despite the fact I worked and DH travelled, being gone Monday-Thursday every week, when he was little, just like my friend's husband.
Should I say something, or is it just not worth it?

While I agree that she crossed a line, I don't think it's worth saying something about it. If she is doing it to justify her own choices, it's not going to make any difference.

Grrrr; I chipped a tooth last night. I don't think I've ever done that before. I have an appointment Monday morning with my dentist. I don't know if she'll end up filing it down a bit or trying to correct it. I sure hope it doesn't chip further in the meantime.
