'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good thing they are cute then, huh?
Yeah. He was even cute about it, not obnoxious. But still.
I'm watching some of the World Series of Pop Culture, and it's a good time. I totally rocked the Name That Rapper category, and am slightly embarassed that I remembered the Hildegard one of the Bosom Buddies guys' drag names, but not Buffy, the other name.
Sure, cats are cute. It is all part of their evil plan.
I totally rocked the Name That Rapper category...
Awesome. How do you tell one rapper from another? I have never been able to do so.
Much the same way you can tell any two people apart. Or, in this case, by the lyrics of their songs.
Jesse is mad at me.
I think it was the cat thing.
I'm not mad at you! I'm just saying.
10 hours of sleep. it was needed. the shoulder seems better so far. getting dressed seems like a monumental chore.
My BFF is losing her grandmother. The last couple of months have been frequent hospital admittances and a variety of different ailments, all related to just being old and ready to die. It is very hard on the family. BFF's mother is the oldest child and not coping well at all. I wish I could do something actually helpful, but having gone through it just over a year ago, I know people need to be given the space to mourn and grieve and come to whatever terms they can. The balance between getting to really say goodbye and spend time with a loved one, knowing they are dying, and the emotional toll of watching a loved one deteriorate over several months is a tricky one.
That is a tricky and hard thing to go through, msbelle. I'm sure your being there/available/supportive will help, even though it might not seem like enough.
I managed the getting dressed part. I'm still working on the getting up and getting moving part.
I'm up, I'm up! Gronk.
I'm so sorry for your friend and her family, msbelle. Strength and peace to all of them.
>I wish I could do something actually helpful, but having gone through it just over a year ago, I know people need to be given the space to mourn and grieve and come to whatever terms they can.I think you're right about the above, but if you keep feeling the need to help, I know what has been helpful to our family in the past is when people took initiative, or offered to do specific things.
Whenever anyone said, "What can we do to help," we never had an answer. When people offered things such as, "I can babysit on these days," or "I am going grocery shopping and would like to drop off a few things for you," or "I'm on my way to the Post Office, do you need anything mailed or do you need stamps," or whatever, sometimes, we did need what they were offering.
When my dad was dying, my children's pre-school teacher sent her husband over with cold cuts, good rolls and scali bread, potato salad and/or chips, a bottle of soda, and some goodies for the kids. It was a small gesture out of the blue, but it made a huge difference, right when we needed it. When a friend at church was in the hospital, a bunch of us bought gift cards to restaurants between the family's house and the hospital, so her husband and daughter could just pick up take-out on the way to/from when they were too tired to cook, without worrying about the expense.
