That said, a politician making $175k (or $17k or $17,000,000) who is trying to kick the few remaining supports for fiscal security out from under people gets no sympathy from me.

Wordy McWord with a side of Wordsauce.

DH will get a bug once in a while to chuck it all and go off the grid. I'm entirely attached to the grid. In fact, I think I have a Matrix style neck nipple.

Screw that Grizzly Adams bullshit. (although I did love that show once...I just never considered what he'd have to do to get pasta and library books.)

So my dad had prostate surgery today. He was supposed to go home after, but they're keeping him in the hospital tonight. He may have to go to a nursing home temporarily before going home, as my mom says she's unable to take care of him. (Mom doesn't think she can empty the bag the attached to him during surgery. Also, he has to wear stockings that my mom can't get on him and he's refusing to elevate his legs like he's supposed to.)

Also, he had to get a walker because of the Parkinson's.

~ma to your dad, Tommy.

When Hubby was young and single, he dreamed of taking his pack of dogs back into the woods and living at the end of a driveway measured in miles. He told me this when we got married, and I told him I'd be happy to visit him. The theme song for our marriage is the one from "Green Acres," but so far I've stayed in the city.

Recovery-ma to your dad, tommy. Stubborn parents make especially difficult patients.

Heh. Do you adore a penthouse view?

The theme to Green Acres confused me as a kid - I wondered why the husband could just make his wife move to the country by saying, "You are my wife."

Do you adore a penthouse view?

When I can get one, oh, yes.

Your poor parents, tommyrot. Good luck to them both.

I just talked to my sister. My mom just doesn't seem to know much about what's going on.

Also, sis and I talked about antidepressants. She's going to go on an antidepressant, and she asked me which one's I've been on. "Most of them," I told her. (I don't remember them all.)

Back in December, a 17 year old girl from NC disappeared from my old apt complex, where she was visiting relatives (she planned to go to Towson in the fall.) They found her body in the Susquehanna near Conowingo Dam today.

I know Taylor was really freaked out at the disappearance, as it was so random and no leads, and by all accounts the girl was responsible and ambitious. And so close to Taylor's age.
