and yet I can't put my finger on why I'm leaning more towards just Kato.
Steph, when I get feelings like that, I go with them. YMMV.
sumi, I'm glad you got the place that you like!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I didn't mean to break the board with my rant...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked your rant. The DH's family are awesome but they have an abnormally high amount of entropy. Like, the time between saying they are leaving an event and the time they get to the door can be 45 minutes. or the time between deciding to go out for brunch (where everyone agrees on the place) and actually going can be an hour. They just can't get moving from one place to another. Drives me nuts.

We give my dad a 10 minute warning 20 minutes before we intend to leave. He gets ready promptly but there is ALWAYS some last minute incident/distraction that still puts us 5 minutes past the 20 minute buffer. Except the times when he is ready to go 15 minutes before everyone else and the appointed time and then gets irritated with the rest of us. @@

Zen,
what if you said a version of that to your family? What then?

This is when I RUDELY grab people by the ear and pull them away. I ain't got time for that shit.

Oh, ha, no. Best case, everyone would blame someone else, two people would cry, and one person would dramatically down the rest of her drink, tell us all to fuck off, and speed away dramatically in her sports car. To fix the dysfunction, they'd have to stop being dysfunctional.

Not that I'm the poster child for emotional health myself, you know, and not that they're bad people; they're all generous and kind and funny when they're not being nutjobs.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has to deal with dilly-dallying family members.

I am the dilly-dallying member of the family. Well, my mom is worse. But it just seems to happen.
