Yes, that's true. I was under an evil curse that kept me away from the Emerald City and forced me to type only in rhyme! Thank goodness the spell was broken!
I did get the pun!
What a terrible ordeal you must have suffered Queen Kendra, but last the spell is broken and emerald city no longer has to endure your rather lengthy and time consuming rhymes
But your ok now!! and spell bound no more!, that's the important thing

Wildsky, I think the solution is simple, have a hart-to-hart with your MIL. Establish some house guidelines and inform her that every family member must contribute to the whole. People love to be needed and to contribute. She only needs guidance, and many minor choirs can be re-distributed to her.
You mentioned that she liked to sew. give her all your sewing.
You mentioned she was at your "play" computer because of the chair. Change the furniture around.
You mentioned that she watched lousy TV shows; Suggest that you both share the cost of a new TV and place it in the guest room for her visits along with that "computer" chair that she is capable of getting out of.
To me, when you marry someone, you marry their family and all of those vows apply to both spouse and family. The exception being, if the spouse has signed-off on their own family members for some reason. You love this man, your husband, this woman raised him, loved him, diapered him, took care of him when he was sick... In her golden years, she just wants to be near him and his children...
One day, you, too will be a MIL. Treat this woman the way you would want to be treated. If you talk to her with love and kindness, and express the truth, and work around the difficulties... you will find that, though your mother has passed on, that you will have a loving dear friend in the woman who bore and raised your dear hubby.
My MIL passed on while my hubby and I were divorced (we still are divorced, but I have cared for him ever since his bad stroke this last August.)... I give her a halo through all the good and bad times hubby and I had, and her love for our children was unquestionable.

Restraint - you???? Well, now I've seen everything!
I do concur, though, Chris.... stop throwing temptation in Ricky's way....that's MY job!
MM...It only took 11 pages of posts for someone to actually come up with a heart-felt solution to wildsky's problem.I couldn't have said that better myself(and didn't)
The Wiz!
Trust me I tried, my sister told me to just treat it with love and kindness, but I got annoyed into oblivion!
Just little things drove me NUTS... clicking of the mouse all day long for one thing - sounds really drive me crazy (I can not EAT if someone in the room is smacking lips - drives me bonkers!)
She had some really STUPID things to say to her hubby (who told my hubby who told me) and I will never ever forget those.
She left early! I have my home to myself.
