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.
Oy vey, Allyson. I'm pretty sure that someone who needs "watching" would benefit from that watching being done by professionals.
Morphine 30mg of morphine. See what I mean?
I am so glad you completed that sentence!
I just got to a point where I'm not sure what to do next at work. I mean, I have to make up what comes next. It's been a long time since this has happened.
Happy birthday, Brenda!
Wait, so according to Trudy I'm not allowed to have a fishing cat OR the super-cool skull memento mori watch? I disagree with both of those rulings.
I did not click ita's link. I did not read the whitefont. See, I am the sensible one amongst you people. So obviously I can be trusted with a giant cat as a pet and an antique skull watch as an accessory. Obviously.
Okay. I've finished grading all the written tests, engineering drawings, and animations. All I have left is the architectural drawings and essays. Stamina-ma, please?

Oh, Allyson, so sorry. Is there some sort of social services advocate you could get involved?

Can you be trusted to not set buckets of water on fire?
My school uses a different grading scale than I'm used to, and it's giving me angst. Dammit, I want to give him an 80, but not a C!
I told her sister she needs to help her file for state disability, so at least she'd have medicaid. Then I backed away.
There's no way I can "watch" her sister. I can't.
The whole episode has made me even more grateful for my family and friends.
Allyson, I don't know if you're getting into this in your new work, but this community of neighbors feels kind of like a family to me -- the connection isn't really chosen, but it's really hard to get away from!
Yeah, I would almost definitely do what Robin is suggesting, Allyson. Suicide threats are not to be taken lightly, nor dealt with by friends and acquaintances. Professional help is required.
lori, that video is awesome, and yes, I feel the little ball of rage settling nicely into my belly. I bookmarked it for future use. I love the bit where the music ends and he's all, hey, hey! with the vocalizing. And then he starts it up again and looks completely startled, then delighted, by this unexpected turn of events.
