I do alternate bites sometimes, and I have no problem with casseroles or curries or intentionally mixed things.
shhhh. Don't let Sparky's DH hear you say thinks like that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our plumber is coming today to put in a valve so we can have, you know, water. Tomorrow he'll install a brand new water heater. Yay! This proves that anything can be made better if you just spend $1,000.
I like curries and stir fries and stews and all sorts of mixy things. Also gravy AND lingonberry on each bite of Ikea meatballs, or what's the point?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yay new water heater, Robin! And I'm glad you've now made it through your first homeowner's emergency with no worse consequences than, well, a new water heater.
GC, ugh, that story is vile. I cannot wrap my brain around the part where adults -- grown-up persons, plural -- did that to a 14-year-old. God, that poor girl. I can't imagine what her parents and her baby sister must be going through, much less how they've managed not to snap the necks of all the (I still can't believe it) fucking parents who did that shitty, evil thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I like mixing most things, but I do not like my turkey dinner contaminated with peas or pea juice.

This proves that anything can be made better if you just spend $1,000.
The corollary to that is the mantra I keep repeating everytime I'm afraid I will kill someone about still not having my car. "If it can be fixed with money, it's not that bad."

Yay new water heater, Robin! And I'm glad you've now made it through your first homeowner's emergency with no worse consequences than, well, a new water heater.
This, Robin!
GC, that's an awful story. Christ people can be awful.

This is definitely my homeowning credo. (looks askance at savings account)

OK, I need to get the ok to release everything in the next 20 minutes so I can get out of here and get a much needed haircut. Move, people,MOVE!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having read the MySpace article, I am saddened and horrified. Not just grownups, but friends of the family. Makes me shiver.
