You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Allyson, sorry about the work suckage. Some folks think technology is the solution to all problems, even when human ingenuity and insight is the better way to go.

I'm sitting here thinking that I could so win that $50K in the Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. I kick ass at it.

Umm I'm trying to figure out how you strategize in rock,paper, scissors. I guess if you can develop a feel for what your opponent will play?

What is even happening?

Zenkitty, much strength to your family. Is your sister in communication with your mother's doctor(s)? Any chance mom is over-medicated or wrongly medicated?

The only way to really strategize is by thinking two or three moves ahead and trying to figure out how your opponent follows up with a move. Some people will do the same thing every single time to follow up a particular move. If you can catch their tell, you're golden. I can beat my DH nearly 85% of the time because he has certain moves that he just can't break out of.

I've gotten out of dog walking and dirty diaper changes with this.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just watched Revenging Angel, the cartoon ep of Farscape.

Love.

Yes. Watching the hand movements can be key.

And to think just a couple of years ago, you were a newbie. I guess getting out of dog walking gave you a lot of practice for ducking the diaper change. Maybe you weren't such a newbie. Still? It brings a tear of pride to my eye.

That's the best thing about Natter. Everything belongs here. It's the kitchen junk drawer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, Cindy. Mom's doctor is a friend of my sister and a very good geriatric physician. We review her medications with him regularly. I've done a bunch of research and talked to a bunch of doctors, and I think she's getting the best care possible. It's not the medication; it's the disease, and there's simply nothing that can be done.
