Also my dad yelled at me for using metaphors just because I was a high and mighty English major.
"In this household, we do not use: metaphor, allegory, simile...and, so help me God, if you even *approach* symbolism, you will get the back of my hand!"
Seriously, P-C, you rock. It's rough, but don't back down. You know...like Tom Petty.
My parent-related marriage drama was about the actual wedding. Long story short, Mom tried to bring the drama and said something like "Maybe I shouldn't come to the wedding" to which I responded "Okay." Then there was a (virtual) staring contest. If it weren't for Aims, my Mom wouldn't have been at my wedding. And, to this day...I would have been fine with that. But I know not everybody can walk away from family so easily.
"Lisa! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"

It has been an hour since I took two shots of whiskey. Since I can get tipsy on half a glass of wine, presumably I'm drunk. But still in pain. Don't feel drunk, but if you are not used to being drunk you probably can't judge that.
In my experience, Typo, booze does not so much *lessen* pain as it makes you *not give a shit that you are still in pain.*
Oh, Typo Boy. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Typo Boy, this is terrible for you. I'm sorry you are in so much pain. I hope you can find a dentist to take swift action.
Jars, it's good to see your font here.

I have my own login, but I can't recall the user email for the Buffistas.

Aw, thanks. I've settled into my new job enough now that I'm comfortable slacking off. Which is... good? Maybe.
It's nice to be catching up on people's news.
I had a bad experience in college, and it's soured me on counseling. I know I should get over it, but the first step is the hardest. I'm a different person now anyway.
Oh god. Me too. So much so that I didn't speak of my enormous problem to anyone for nearly a decade. It was awful. But, my given profession suggests that I ultimately got over it.
I am totally Erin with the interviewing and exploration of any prospective helper. It's such an important trust that requires more discernment than choosing a melon, you know? MORE thumping and listening.
I'm so, so hoping you find someone you can feel good working with P-C.
pain reduction ~ma Typo's way.
Seems I tossed the half bottle of vanilla in TX rather than pack a glass bottle of liquid. Forgot before making brownies.
Next time this happens, you can substitute dark or spiced rum in a 1:1 ratio.
