Natter 48 Contiguous States of Denial
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.
We usually save our drama for the funerals. Same Uncle. Told my sister that her smoking was the reason she "couldn't find a job OR a man."
He did realize that the emotional state people are in at funerals would have made for a pretty good legal defense if she'd decided to make it a two-for-one special?
Now I want bun and cheese. Hmph.
In much skimming, I think I only copied the two most random things possible:
I mean, where would you tear a "new one", anyway? Colostomy bag?
shrift, this made me laugh really hard.
But right now, lori is giving us a play-by-play of a meercat fight.
Over the weekend, I heard some rumor about some crazy shit going down on the meercat manor. What happened?
LEE!
Also, we have no Thanksgiving drama in my family, either -- my uncle's mother-in-law even refrained from making a snotty comment about him in my mother's hearing, which she apparently did the last two years.
I don't think we have any predictable holiday drama. Just that there will be fights if all four of us are together for more than a couple days. There will be parent/child power struggles, perhaps a replay of a childhood behaviour pattern, and something involving me, a PC, and a lot of frustration.
I have told my mother that this vacation needs to be stress free for me, so let's hope she's preparing.
I'm back to watching CSI. Not only isn't it obvious that it's a
mask (powder, people--would it kill you?) isn't it Roger Daltrey underneath it?
(Though, OK, when he kept giong up on his head, I cringed). V. cute.
Yes. Me, too. Most of it just made me say wow. But when he was doing some of the head stands (many of which almost looked like face stands), it made me say, "Oooh, honey don't do that."
No freaking way that's his real age!
The only thing that didn't look real to me was a shot of a person, shirtless, right before the closing credits. The rest of it looked like that two year old's body, because the movements just had something about them. I mean, it's astonishing, but I think it's real.

Ah yes. This is why I spend a great deal of time biting my tongue when it's me, my mother, and my grandmother all together. And why I'll never move back into their house.
Have I mentioned my mother lived with us for more than six months, last year? During all the larger holidays. September through April.
ita, yes to the CSI stuff.
We have semi-predictable family drama, in that my mother is almost definitely going to say at least one completely inappropriate thing per holiday, but we've gotten pretty good at pretending it didn't happen.

Yeah, my grandmother lives downstairs from my parents. Needless to say, she's only gotten more like herself over the years, in all the annoying ways. As has my mother. Good times. I spend half the time we're together thinking "Get OVER IT, mom. Christ!" I only said something similar one time.
