ita - I did tell him that. also that it is why his headhurts. also that he won;t get big and strong. and that he might just start to shrink. then he asked "for real?" and I said "no, but eat your food anyway." and he did, the end.
I keep seeing the surrogates posters and thinking that if there were actual functional cyborgy things that could do work, I would totally take a second mortgage to buy one. I'm sure that is not their purpose in the movie, huh? Maybe in that AU I could get a deal on one that turned out not so pretty.
Ugh, now the pain has spread from the right side of my face to include the left side. Temples, eyes, cheekbones and the roots of my back teeth. And I'm cramping, which is maybe why everything is so much worse.
Does being told that getting food into you will improve your mood help at his age? I can imagine it wouldn't and you need all sorts of parenting voodoo to make it right. Good job, both of you.
Yeah, I don't know when I figured that out for myself, but it was a godsend.
Headache or infection?
I know telling my preteen brother his surly was because he needed food escalated things. We'd just drive by Taco Bell and chuck burritos at him without speaking (I know, Taco Bell when there were so many more authentic variations available to us? It was on the way home, cheap and fast.) He was usually at least multisyllabic by the time we reached the house.

For the record, I even forget this. And it results in crying in the Target parking lot and a lot of other foolishness. Duh, EAT you idjit.
This is where you email us in Seattle for the actual skinny!
Heh. Trust me, I will. If it comes to pass. As it is, I feel like I'm tempting Karma to kick my ass. Last thing I want to do is pester my friends.
you NEVER EVER EVER want a zero lot line place. EVER.
God, NO. I'm far too spoiled, having owned houses in Florida and Ohio. The idea of being on top of neighbors like that is unnerving, at the very least. Plus, three big dogs.
But I will cop to being amused when I came across my first house where the total square footage was larger than the property square footage. Weirdness.
My on-line bank charts the market value of my home and it's dropped by about $200,000 in the last year. It charts drops by month: it dropped $25,000 in value last month. All I have to say is, thank god I threw out all those come-ons you sent me to write checks on credit. Also, it's the same house, and I'm not going anywhere, so it's kind of fun to watch it go up and down.
Did anyone else have a day full of clusterfucks, or was my Friday just special?
S, you NEVER EVER EVER want a zero lot line place. EVER.
So if gardening and lawn mowing is not for you get a condo? Rent?
