I know people who know people...maybe we can bust her out. How old is she?
She's 16 and I love Greece (though, honestly, I wasn't enthralled with Athens past the ruins but it does have its charms. And ruins. I adored those.). Got a couch?
And running out of cat litter? Sucks worse than the hot water suddenly disappearing when you had a head full of shampoo suds and soap in your eyes.
But someone would shelter us, I think.
Totally.

Same here. The islands aren't a bad place to disappear to, and I'm sure I could find a Greek granny who would not only protect her from the kamaki here but would teach her parents a thing or two about life.

My highschool's approach to Career Advice:
Career Advisor: What do you want to be, then?
Me: A writer!
Career Advisor: Hmm...how about a secretary, dear?
Me: .....?
WRT choosing one's further education stuff:
Career Advisor: What do you want to study?
Me: Mythology!
Career Advisor: ...er...I don't think they do that, dear. How about English?
Me: ....kthxby
Back in the day, my
Mother's
high school conversation went like this:
Career Advisor: So what do you want to do?
Mum: I'd like to travel the world. I thought maybe I could get work on a cruiseship, doing childcare or working in a shop or something like that.
Career Advisor: Is your father an admiral in the Navy?
Mum: ...er. No? He works for the Coal Board.
Career Advisor: Dream on. So have you considered being a secretary?

I am feeling quite empowered with this idea now. For them that missed the memo, Raq rawks!
Sleep now. Possible sidetrip to Vermont tabled for discussion tonight.
I am tired, overwhelmed and on the edge of just crying way more than I can deal with when there are people within people
distance.
Cass, I'm sure I've missed the story of what your niece is going through that makes you want to niecenap her, but I sympathize. You're a great aunt to want to help spirit her away from a bad situation.
The internets are a strange place. I set out looking for a recipe for Cornish pasties (instead of just making it up as I go, like usual), and end up at Easter Turducken [link] (I think it's chocolate bunny around peeps and a cadbury egg...hit the sale aisle at the drug store now!)
Wow. Gotta love the fact that it's called
Slashfood.
(Turducken, incidentally, is something I only know of through your good selves...I think that this particular level of overindulgence hasn't really hit the UK yet. Or if it has, it probably goes by another name. Does 'turd' mean anything in US slang?)
Does 'turd' mean anything in US slang?
Yes.
Yet another word for excrement.

Well, that page also had a link to something else I did not know existed.
