Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes, good lord. Plei, you AND your hair looked wonderful.
I am currently dissassembling a large purse to reassemble as Rocket's vest. I think I will also be sacrificing a pair of pleather pants (that don't fit me) to the cause, and there will be lots of duct tape involved, because I don't sew. I have so much to do. Ack. Ack. Ack.
It's 18. With winds. Windchill puts it at -3. I'm driving to market.
Tres awesome, msbelle!
Plei, I confess I used your mother as a cautionary tale for my own.
Ok, that wind is fucking brutal. Even driving, the brief exposure was such that my eyes were watering in sinus pain. And that's with 2 layers+ hat+2hoods+scarf+down coat. I have no idea how the vendors survive it. I thanked them profusely.
Headed there now. If they can make it out to sell things, I can make it there to buy.
MY MOTHER MAKES ME SEEM LIKE I HAVE TACT AND FILTERS!
See, upside! This brings to mind poor Mika on Morning Joe. (Don't ask me why I still watch this morning show, but I do) Anyway, Mika's mom routinely texts her to tell her how awful her hair or makeup or outfit is while she is on the air! Thanks mom, way to shake my confidence.
Mom doesn't use computers or phones for that matter. Step-dad says stuff whenever any bad language is used, and my brother is in the right wing whackadoodle crew. Otherwise my on line interactions with family are pretty normal.
My mother every day of our lives has told all of us how we are perfect, beautiful, and brilliant. That is mom.
No one in my family is very active on Facebook (Mom does not have an account, Dad has an account but never looks at it, sister had to get an account for some course she was taking but hasn't friended anyone except who she was required to for the course, and brother has occasional flurries of activity which are always good-natured - even the niecphews are sporadic in their posting (or careful of their privacy settings, but I think just sporadic)), which is probably good for all of us getting along.
Had cookies for breakfast and am now enjoying Saturday morning Shonda. Egregious use of decimate just now on Gray's.
My sister and niece are active on Facebook. I actually know a lot more about their day to day lives since we all joined, so that's nice. There's the occasional political/religious tension, but on the whole, we're pretty civil.
