The funny thing is I do talk to my mom almost every day. Just not on Facebook!
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I could call any relative I know of at 3am and get a bed for the night. But I would never do so. Because we are Yankees, and that's how we roll.

Also, Facebook told me I needed to reconnect with my HUSBAND. Who sleeps in the same bed as me. We're married (which Facebook knows); we don't do the majority of our communication through Facebook!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

If you're not doing it in Facebook, it doesn't count as a real relationship.
... what, no?

So true. Except add that I get in trouble if I don't have a good excuse for staying in the hotel and not their home.
Much of the family is on Facebook and are friends, but I still have Facebook on the list of things I clearly don't have time for.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Looks like they might launch at 11:19. If not around then, they won't be able to launch today after that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My dad has brothers and sisters in the double digits, and I have full confidence that if I called any one of them at 3AM and needed a bed for the night, it would be no problem.
When I was living in the States ten or so years ago, my second cousins in Boston had me to stay for the weekend and showed me around the city, even though I'd never met them before. It's what I most love about big Irish families. (Hmm. I wonder if my Australian-Irish cousins would be up for a visit from UK family.)
Facebook told me I needed to reconnect with my HUSBAND.
It told me I don't talk to my father enough. Facebook: a better Irish mother than my actual Irish mother.

As I have said more than once to my therapist, I may have problems, but at least I have a functional family on which not to blame them.

They might launch in five minutes. But the clouds might move over by then.
