Down the street from me!

Really, Sparky? I didn't realize!

Fuck. One of the kids in Matilda's class has a pinworm infection.

(If you don't know what it is don't look it up because it's gross.)

Really, Sparky? I didn't realize!

Yes. Walk about 1/2 mile towards the co-op . . .

What sort of condition are they in?

Holli, they are intact, but have some stains, from being so old and kept in a trunk for so long. I think we have some women's underthings and some of my great-uncle John Martin's clothes and shoes. He was a snappy dresser. He went to Florida and ended up managing a swanky hotel and hobnobbing with celebrities. He never married and we're pretty sure he was gay.

I work there Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 11-2.

Oh, vintage jewelry too? I have that. *sigh*

In my head I think I would be fine to retire now, but I realize that in reality, without some structure from an outside source, my days become wasted days and depression begins

This is me. I had to adjust to working at home, because that built-in structure wasn't there. But instead of not working enough, I tend to just keep on working until it gets dark and then I think whoops, where did the whole day go?!

Sophia, what a crappy situation. Hopefully Student B will have a guilt attack and return the costume as sneakily as he took it, so no confrontation will be necessary. He might, if he realizes he's not as sneaky as he thought.

I am thinking of sending an email to all student about the missing item, detailing the amount of money it is, and hopefully flushing out Student A to actually tell me what is going on, and not Student B.

You should absolutely put all three of them on the hook for it. Is there anyone to CC other than the program director?

There are so many things I'd like to do that, sadly, I can't get paid to do, that I could easily retire now if I had the funds. Travel, volunteering, learning things, exercising more, gardening, and dozens more.

Holli, if you have any Elsie Dinsmore books from the 1920s or earlier, or any vintage cookbooks, I might be interested.

Was it here that had the links to the Patriarchal couple where the husband admitted to being transgendered and his wife remained married to him even after he started openly declaring himself female?

If so, the blog No Longer Quivering has what I think is a multi-series post from someone I believe is the wife in that couple. Here is a link to the first post: [link]

No Longer Quivering is full of heart-breaking and wonderful stories of women--and men--who have been part of the Patriarchal movement and how they've coped and escaped.

Kathy A. posted a brief note on FB.

Still sick. Face still hurts. Want meds to kick in please.

Poor thing.

Jezebel had the trans quiver article--someone here linked to it. And in the Jez article was a link to the woman's posts.
