Sorry Cindy, but your post reminded me of
I got some ice cream
You ain't got none
You can't afford it
Cause your mama's on the welfaare,
And your dad's an alcoholic
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It is too cold, and neither fatigue nor pain are a boon to a person's outlook. You're ground down, Nora. I wish I could help you.
I don't know the particulars of radical acceptance, but I think I get the overall concept in a vague way (like, I understand both words and when I put them together, I still sort of understand them). The term always makes me think of the Serenity Prayer (A.A. tool, not a Firefly reference) -- accept the things I can't change, change the things I can, have the wisdom to know the difference.
It seems to me that by choosing not to complain, you're taking a huge step.

Oh, erika! You just made me laugh out loud.
Vintage Eddie Murphy, right? From Delirious, maybe? My college roomie and I used to say that all the time (and coincidentally, or not so, both of our fathers were/are alcoholics).

Because books.
I can't stop complaining. It's my idiom.
Also, in Things the Kids Said news, Sara informed me this morning that "ninjas steal pie." Good to know, I think.
Funniest part was that she pronounced it "ninjers".

I complain too much, but at least KO's back. And since I'm in Bitches, I guess I could say "in the saddle", too.(although I only had that thought once, I swear.) He himself would hate that I say this, but fuckin' baseball, man.ETA: Yeah, that's Delirious, still one of my picks for Funniest Shit Ever, but that's the one I know best, because we love ice cream around here, and times are hard.

Ugh. Head. Poundage. Must. Find. Drugs.

I'm going to check in on your feelings on baseball at the time of the All-Star break, and see the extent of KO's thrall on you.

Well, I'm trying not to complain here because I'm afraid that I make people eye-rolly as it is, and I'm trying not to complain to Tom because I'm afraid that I'm taking him down with me, so it's all locked up in my brain. So I'm not sure how healthy a step it is, but I'm going to go with your thought and look at it as such and then maybe things will fall into place a little better for the time being.

I don't think you make anyone eyerolly, Nora, but I also don't think it's necessarily healthy to keep everything bottled up. Can you rant in LJ and mark the posts private? I usually find that if I write things down, even if no one reads them but me, it's cathartic.
I mean, she needs to be amongst her people.
Heh. Even funnier because Stephen and I are in the middle of watching The Departed (in the middle because halfway through the DVD wnt kerflooey and we're getting a new one from NetFlix), and loving Matt Damon's Boston accent.

Wow, that would be serious thrall. Could happen though...it would be like Sports Night Pygmalion fic. Well, I was just glad they sent Stepford Anchor back to the bush leagues(He's already affected my metaphors, huh?)ETA: Yum...love when Matt gets all Boston. Very foamy. But I'm a horrible person cause the bug was looking for headache relief, but I read "drugs" and , thanks to my avocation, was all "I dunno...Roxbury?" I'm gonna end up in Special Hell, maybe.
