Etiquette-wise...my sister and I have a mutual friend that I don't like anymore. It's the sort of thing I'd talk about with her, but if I told her why I've gone cold, she wouldn't like her anymore either. Is that selfish of me? Risking ending a friendship of my sister's because I need somewhere to vent?

How much pot is being grown in these right now?

Hah! I saw that in the BB&B flyer the other day and had the same thought.

How much pot is being grown in these right now?

At a guess, 93% of kits used for pot.

If pot's the gateway drug, that's the gateway drug's gateway appliance. I totally want to grow weed now.

Man, I just switched from the Hey, gay! episode of Trapper John MD to the Boo, racists! episode of Mission Impossible. I don't know how much good intent I can handle. But at least the brother gets a storyline. Even if they had to put him in white face to get things rolling. Unfortunately he may need to act.

That low?

I dunno, ita, I think I'd rather have my sister on my "team," but I don't have a sister... And I'm kind of a shit-talker.

I've had a hair dye accident.

Ooh, right on! I just got invited to dinner Saturday with someone who knows Jeremiah Wright - Obama's minister - quite well (she's a minister and on the faculty at the School of Theology at U of Chicago). Can't wait to get her take on all this. Will report back for them as are interested.

ita, can you ask your sister if she'd want to know? "I don't like this person, and I feel like if I tell you why, you won't either, so would you rather I not tell you?"

That said, I don't think it's selfish really, because if it's something that would be a deal-breaker like that, I'd want to know about it.

can you ask your sister if she'd want to know?

She'd definitely say she wanted to know. I'm not sure why I'm getting hung up on this. She's my freaking sister. For some reason I feel bad about disliking this woman, even though the "evidence" is as incontrovertible as these things go.

Is this someone your sister sees more than you, or vice versa? Not that I can really decide which makes that better, but...I guess if they had a closer realtionship than I did, I might hesitate more, but...I'd probably vent to my sister. OTOH, my sister has repeatedly offered to "cut a bitch" for me, so we're tight. :)

Kat, what's the accident? We have knowledgeable haircare buffistas standing by with years of experience...
