So you decide what's important and just get through the rest.

They are parents, and Scrappy and her DH are grownups. But in my family? Sheeit. The pettiness that would result (and that I'd totally play into--I'm still paranoid that the woman we've been shunning for nine years (my mother saw her once and dissed her in public) is going to show up at this event next weekend, and I have no idea how to act. Except, not that warmly)

It was way beyond rude, though. You'd have been well within your rights to say, "Well, that check's going to bounce, isn't it?"

smonster, I hope you feel better soon, and I will refrain from waking you at 6:30am this week.

Ooo, yes, Zenkitty, thanks. I have had sushi and am drinking Throat Coat, and then I will dose with the ibuprofen.

I have come to hate throat cote. like, i just kinda gagged on a cup and tossed the whole thing.

• sigh* I stupidly opened a facebook note to friends of friends (so it could be shared) rather than my usual filter of "friends minus mouthy jerk who inserts himself forcefully into every discussion ever anywhere" and am rather annoyed that i allowed him access to my brain for even a few minutes. I really need to just unfriend the guy, but he's actually rather nice in person...just irritating as all get out with his keyboard.

Yikes, erin. I hope I never have to drink that much.

It's sleeting now. Yay.

I have developed a love for biggelow ginger snap tea...it's full of lemon-rindey goodness. and the gypsy cold care continues to be tolerable.

I know they are your ILs and you love them and stuff, Scrappy, but "Euw!" (unless it's like the over-heating beater type of car, because that does get sad, but that is another post.) Even so, seems like MannersFail.
