Oy. Feeling like I'm the mother of an infant all over again. Gave Mooshu several ounces more of the DogSure, via a larger syringe that I bought this afternoon. (Much easier, thank goodness.)

Also decided to go ahead and try the time-honored cure for nasty dampness in the groin area-- cornstarch baby powder. Can't hurt, right?

t family vent

For fuck's sake, why are L's aunt and uncle so selfish? L's grandpa lived with my MiL and FiL for 7 years in the mid-late 90s and then went to live with family in North Carolina. He's been there for probably 7 or 8 years. He has spent NO time at L's aunt and uncle's and they bellyache any time he wants to come out for a visit. Well, grandpa is now insisting that he doesn't want to live in NC any more. Aunt and uncle tell L's mom they can't do it - would be too much strain on their marriage. Like it was NONE for the 7 years he lived with L's mom! L's mom is in therapy and still grieving over her husband who died after 2 YEARS OF FUCKING ILLNESS!!!! Now she has to worry about this? Oh, I'm so pissed. I'm tempted to call those MFers and tell them to MAN THE FUCK UP! IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!

Sorry for spewing. I'm just so fucking sick of this shit that's been going on for years and years. We're having crying MiL over tonight to hash it all out yet AGAIN.

Totally not closing my tag.

Those motherfucking hurricanes better get the hell OUT cause we need a vacation, damn it!

Hurricane Ike to bypass Keys

Thank you for the update, Barb.

And now I feel like an ass as it's obviously more important that the hurricane not hit anywhere so that, I don't know, people don't die. Plus there are people on the board going through crazy hard stuff that makes my issue pale in comparison. Sorry for killing the board.

You didn't kill. You vented. Totally cool.

eta: plus, you do need a break.

GC, I so want the storms to skip the Keys so you can have your well earned vacation.

On the other hand, if they did come to this area it would mean some time off work. Four weeks back and I so need a break!

Happy news, the DD is off campus until Wednesday! He had a 'workshop' somewhere.

Honey, everyone's got their own thing-- we vent or we wind up on the evening news and wearing orange jumpsuits with slash pockets and that's just not a good look for anyone. Your sitch would have me in a rage. I cannot believe people sometimes.

You deserve your honeymoon.

And Ike, while still no joke, has dropped considerably in strength-- sustained winds of 80MPH down from 120 earlier this morning. Let's hope he wusses out before he causes more grief.

Don't sweat it, GC. We're here for each other, whatever the vent.

I decided Hec is wrong, though. I'm not in hell. I'm just being nibbled to death by ducks.

Really fucking big ducks.
