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.

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)

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.

I don't even know what to say about the myspace article. It would be horrible even if the girl hadn't committed suicide. And the worst part is that the other family kept lying and didn't confess to what they did. The parents would never know if it hadn't been for that one brave girl who came forward.

It's that pack mentality, pick on the weakest aspect that creeps me the hell out. I expect it from kids, but would hope most adults would know better or at least save it for the weaker adults.
And yeah the asshole parents seem to be in complete denial about the depths of their assholery. Sending a condolence letter!?!?! Asses.
