Feed her what YOU want. By one she should be pretty proficient at eating just about anything

Oh, I know. I'm just trying to figure out exactly how much she needs of what type of food so that I can type up a new schedule to put on the fridge so that everyone who is "helping" to feed her can stop asking me 50 questions while I'm trying to shower.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A thing-of-the-month club?

I'll look into options on this. My mom has a lot of food restrictions so that may limit things a bit. I'll look into season subscriptions, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Welp. Tech support guy got my email back ... sort of. I don't have all the email boxes I need, got two I don't need, managed to set it up so that the "general" emails that are distributed to everyone come as being forwarded from an internal email address so I can't add them to my blocked junk email senders list ... and can't add anyone to my blocked senders list because of size limitations. Also wiped out my signature (which I can recreate easily enough) AND my office calendar ... which I can't, since it includes info from bunches of other people.

And he's not going to have time to fix my issue with updating the web pages OR the fact that the new "improved" computer is slower than the old one. Started new tickets for the issues I've been complaining about for a week, so they'll be deferred until after the existing tickets (excluding mine, of course) have been dealt with.

I'm either going to go out for a good lunch or kill someone. I think I'll opt for the former ... although DON'T PUSH ME.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I think Grandma was 19 when my mom was born. I broke the family trend of marrying young although I guess my cousin picked up the slack. He's two years younger than me and a grandpa twice over.

My family is the same. My father's mother was 39 or 40 when my parents got married, and my younger cousin is also a grandmother. (Although only once so far!)

I don't know about ages at weddings, but my mom had 2 sisters 10 and 12 years older than her, who were both mothers by the time they were 18. I have 9 first cousins who are grandparents. I feel bad for my mom sometimes, all of her sisters are grandmothers, all but one are great-grandmothers, my brother and I never even made her a grandma.

Maybe grab the silverware from your good lunch, Todd, just in case...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My father was the youngest of six, with a good gap between the oldest and him and my mother had one half sister who was either 12 or 13 years older than she was. When they married, my mother acquired a niece who was a year older than she was. Since my parents both married comparatively late, all my first cousins are older than I am, some of them had children older than me.

My kids have no cousins. There are some sorta-cousins they have, but they aren't actually related.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not that I have kids, but if I did, they wouldn't have first cousins on my side. Luckily, my small family sticks together, so they could hang out with their second cousins (my cousins' kids).

I remember having many cousins. For some reason they elected me the butt of the jokes. I never cared if I ever got to see my cousins.

Pro-tip: when reacting with commentary to a weird crime-alert circulated to all-staff, it is advisable to not reply-all. Because I can guarantee it is a bad idea.

I don't even bother to read when people do this. Delete....and then delete again when the usual apology is offered. Like, how so dumb?
