I seriously don't even know what to do.
Sophia, that sounds impossible on that budget. Does he think you can costumes from somewhere else?
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think he was thinking I could get costumes from the theatre, but we costume college boys, so we do not have anything this size. Also, since 2 of the men are small shouldered and just have big guts, the suits that fit their guts need MAJOR alterations in the shoulder area.
I know, for him, it is the trying that is important, not the success, but I do so little designing I really hate for people to see something that looks like crap. It is also just too late to scrap and start over.
I lost it last week when he wanted to add 4 more robots.

The robots/1920s mix is interesting, to say the least.
I think you have to be completely honest with him about the limitations.

Yeah, time for some straight talk.
Well, there was a cat on my porch. I can smell him. But since Loki's calmed down to just sniffing obsessively, he's gone. It didn't spray, but posturing (unfixed) male cats do put out a serious stink when they are posturing...

So I met with the cook/PA for my folks, and my mother, who was nearly hysterical when I arrived. The woman is a former executive chef who, when the economy tanked, got her CNA and now does PA/general support for the elderly. She has a bunch of different clients and seems really flexible and level-headed.
After much talking and much repetition (if she didn't know Mom was demented, she does now), we agreed to a one-week trial and then, depending, three dinners a week.
The amount of emotional energy I'm putting into this is waaay out of proportion to the benefit gained, I am forced to acknowledge.

I hope it works out, Consuela. I think the long term benefit (just another set of eyes) will end up more, but the emotional scales don't play with the practical.

Holy Moly! R.A. Dickey threw another one-hitter. He's 11-1 with an ERA of 2.00. That's ridic.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And now I'm thinking of the movie Big Hand for the Little Lady.
