A while back, I wrote that the OW sent our family a christmas card. Yes, extremely tacky, but what do you expect??? Anyway, after some good advice from this group of wise people, I decided to burn it. I did it yesterday. Okay, so I try to light the fireplace, it is stuck with the key. I get some grips for the key to turn it, and it breaks. So I decide to take the Bic lighter and just torch the thing and put is in the fireplace. I light it and it keeps going out. It only burnt the edges. So, then I figure that I will burn it over the kitchen sink. Now I am chuckling to myself, as this heinous thing will not even BURN!!! Okay, so I get a big punpkin candle out in a jar. I light that and I have to tear the card up and put it in small pieces. They won't burn very well. THIS THING WILL NOT DIE!!! Then I just threw the pieces in the candle, and this huge flame shoots out, so I have to tip it in the sink, then get all the junk out of my candle. After about 45 minutes, this damn card finally met its demise. I was laughing by that point, and felt much better for a time being. Until the whole house stunk of burnt christmas card. So then I had to fix the pumpkin candle and throw air freshener all through the house. When my daughter came home from school. the first thing out of her mouth was how nice the house smelt!!! I almost burnt the house down!!!.....It was just a thrill for me and I thought it was ironic that this malignant action guised as a holiday card would not die quietly..She must have some of her evil stench on it.......Jess
Thank you for the first good laugh I have had since December 14, 2005. I am still laughing (although trying to do so quietly b/c I am at work and then everyone will know for sure that I have gone bonkers!--they only suspect it now tee hee).
Good for you! Take control and rid yourself of her.
Maybe that is what i should do with the nasty email that the OW sent me. I can imagine how great it would feel. I'll let you know if I do it.
You will feel better after doing it, only have water, a fire extinguisher and determination. I thought, ok its just paper, it will go quick. NOT!!!!! I felt like I was in a Lucy episode or something. I'm laughing trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Flame-paper, paper gone..not..I did not calculate the hatred and sheer stupidity enveloped within her holiday message of cheer. Bitch. I thought next I would have to try and shoot it in the yard, and as a last resort take it to church for an exorcism. Some holy water on it and I bet it would start to steam......... Try it and you will like it......and laugh all you want, it is great medicine.....Jess
See what I mean? Who would have ever thought you would find yourself trying to burn a Christmas card that your H's whatever sent you for Christmas...this is so funny at times I want to cry. I am glad you finally got it to catch fire and burn...what a cleansing feeling.
