I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this, Laga.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ugh, Laga, that's so hard. I hope it helps, even if it takes a while (which I gather can be the case with intervention/addiction-type situations). And I mean "helps" for both your sister and your entire family, because this is hard for all of you.
I just shocked myself while removing a plug from a surge protector.
Ironically, after I posted this morning, we went back for the final classes/presentations of the kink convention, and one of the presentations was on electric play. (It did NOT, however, involve surge protectors.)
Also, vw -- I didn't mean to post melodramatically about wanting to stab my hand with a pen and then leave for hours. But I'm about to check my e-mail, so thank you in advance.
ION, we just bought a KitchenAid mixer. We've had a $100 Best Buy gift card since Xmas 2007, and we also actually had a $100 bill that was also left over from Xmas (I have NO idea how we had the discipline to not spend it), and there was a Best Buy literally 2 minutes from where the kink convention was, so we decided it was time to get a KitchenAid mixer. (We had kept on talking about it, but then never following through, but I've been doing a lot of baking this fall, and I realized how much easier it would be with a mixer. So opportunity presented itself and we jumped on it. Not literally. That would break the mixer.)

Ohh Kitchen Aid mixers are the best.
Steph, where is your brother in Vermont?

Laga - I'm glad your family is facing this together.
Teppy - what color did you get?

Mmmmm, I got mixer envy.

I want to bake something right now!
Teppy - what color did you get?
White, because the white 275-watt mixer was $199, which is what we had. The colored ones cost more (but they are also higher wattage -- 300 watts -- which I assume is the real reason for the higher price). If the prices were the same, I would have lobbied hard for a red one.
The Boy just yelled from the other room that I should say we bought the VANILLA mixer.
Steph, where is your brother in Vermont?
The restaurant is in Waterbury -- called The Alchemist Pub & Brewery. In case SLNRLBF is anywhere near there, he should definitely go eat there and have their beer. It's very very good (both the food and the beer), as a handful of Buffistas (Nora & Tom, Trudy, megan walker) can attest. He and his wife live in Northfield. Waterbury is maybe 10-15 minutes west of Montpelier, and Northfield is about 10 minutes south of Montpelier.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not literally. That would break the mixer.
Unlikely. The fuckers are cast iron -- they can defend themselves.

{{Laga}} I'm so sorry your family is going through this. I hope your sister pays attention, even if she doesn't act on it now.
I have the serious KitchenAid envy. I've got a FauxAid, which is better than a hand held, but not by much. I want a red one, even if it doesn't match my kitchen.
