I'm glad I grew up completely ignorant of those terms. I've never heard them before.

I was such a chicken, too. I didn't say anything.

Our wings are not tired.
When I was a child I heard the term used for Brazil nuts, and in eany meany miney mo. I really don't think the adults thought of it as a bad word. In the 60s the adults in my world got all enlightened and stopped saying it. A few years later as an adult in the early 70s a guy I worked with said it in a derogatory manner and I was young and brave enough to inform him that he was not allowed to speak like that around me.
My fingers and feet are tired. I wrapped stuff all day long. So much for thinking that getting people several little things instead of one big thing was a good plan. Also, I have too many family members. Mom thinks that we should just contribute to a worthy cause next year instead of doing presents for the adults and get them something on their birthday instead. Good plan Mom. We hope to sell it to the rest of the crew.
eta: stuff doesn't look like it's spelled right and I am too tired to check. Bed time for me now.

My friend Tal just spent over 4 hours sitting and chatting with me while I wrapped Christmas presents. I don't think I could have gotten it all done without her, but they're all done. Tomorrow, I'm going to make a few bows and finally bake those brownies. So tired now.

Um, hi guys! Happy holidays and everything. Hope all are well.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The thing that really kills me for Daniel is that I have two backward ass, ignorant, racist brothers in law that still use the word nigger in conversation. I've just recently had to remind one to NOT use the word in my presence (well, actually I heard him say it while I was on the phone with my sister but I still pointed that out to him).
These asswipes still have good jobs.
Why the world is this unfair is beyond my ken. Really.

What is even happening?
Poor Cashmere, I always see you posting or LJing now, when I wake up at ass o'clock in the morning. Is it Owen, bladder, the esophagus of fire, or just some other pregnancy joy?
I would tell 2005 to kiss my ass, but 2005 is unworthy of my ass. 2005 can go kiss Tom Delay's indicted ass, is what it can kiss.Coffee. On my monitor. But apparently Kristin beat me to it.
And I'm saying that, with some sheepishness, as someone who is suddenly greatful that all that happened to me today was getting my car stolen.
Frank, we just totaled ours (nobody was hurt) in Maine, earlier this month. What took you so long? Have you lost that sockpuppet feeling? Seriously, I'm very sorry about your car.
The first time somebody I knew told me they would fix something by "nigger-rigging" it I thought I would die.I've never heard that (or the name for Brazil nuts) until this conversation. I have heard Gerry-rigging, though (not jury-rigging, Gerry, and the G is soft, for German).

Owen woke up this morning for some reason. Oh, yeah, his father took him shopping yesterday, skipped the nap and he went to bed at 7:30 p.m.--resulting in today's early wake up call.
I was already awake, however. My sister called--my uncle finally passed away.
We're both drinking some chocolate milk right now.

How are your cousin and her baby doing?

It may not solve problems more complex than thirst, but chocolate milk sure helps me remember there's good in the world, when I need reminding.

Thanks, Cindy. He really was in a lot of pain so I'm sure this is a huge relief for him. It's going to be really hard on his wife, kids and grandkids as well as my mom and her sibs but that's the way this thing works. I hate that it's so close to Christmas
How are your cousin and her baby doing?
Very well, thanks. My cousin ended up leaving the hospital after two scant days because they decided not to transfer her to the same hospital as her baby to recover. She couldn't stand being so far from the baby so she just recovered quickly through sheer will. The little girl's name is Peyton. She's gaining weight and no longer on oxygen.

Know what's better than chocolate milk? Chocolate milk kisses.
