Awww, what do you call a Pug/Boston Terrier mix? A Poston Perrier? A Pugston?
I know this! I met one on Friday. They're called Bugs.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good thoughts to your grandma, msbelle!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Grandma ~ma, msbelle! And doctor's appointment ~ma for mac.
Why does "tossing salad" mean that other thing that "tossing salad" means?
I have no idea. I'm not sure I know what the other tossing a salad means, in fact. I'm way behind on the sex slang, woes.

One of the things is means is literal, right??

~ma to all family members in need, as there seem to be a lot right now, woe.
I was complaining in the Movies thread about The Hunger Games making me so nauseated that I had to leave the theater. Which is true, but I suspect it was exacerbated by yet another difficult conversation with our parents about bringing in more help.
Seems my dad had a meeting with a neurologist last week, who immediately called my sister and expressed concern about Dad's condition, what with all the stress of being Mom's full-time caregiver.
I keep thinking I should step up and offer to live with them, and then I remember that I have a full-time job, and they would need help during the day anyway, and it would make me miserable. So once more into the breach of trying to find help, and lots of horrible conversations. Argh.

Consuela, I really recommend talking to folks at the Alzheimer's Association about strategies for helping them get help. I'm sure your local has a Helpline you can call, if you don't want to join a group or whatever.... Because ugh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I wholeheartedly agree with Jesse -- people who have been there and done that are going to offer better advice and the sympathy that only comes with bitter experience.

Happy anniversary, Erin! I love reading about how happy you are with D.
Much ~ma for your grandma, msbelle.
Suela, I have no advice, except to say stay strong on the not-moving-in-with-your-folks front. From everything you've said here, that would be no good for any of you. You need your own space to relax and recharge. I hope you can find a decent solution soon.
