Yeah, the term gaslighting comes from the title of the movie--verbing a noun kind of thing--"He's Gaslight-ing me!" referring to the husband in the movie trying to drive his wife crazy by manipulating her percieved reality.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The microwave died a while ago, but I think it was before I went to New Orleans, and then we were busy with other stuff, blah blah, so we didn't get it replaced until last week.
Now the fridge is dying. I do not want to shop for more appliances.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's unfortunate timing. Get better, fridge, soldier on for Dana!
Fracture in my other lower molar, so getting a crown on that before it breaks, too. And replacing the crown next to it because it is problematic and might as well do it all at once. Will I get back to the office today? Time will tell.
Been meaning to see Gaslight for forever, but I didn't know the details of the husband's plot. I need a lot more leisure time so I can catch up on my movies (and reading and tv)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Zen, I'm glad you weren't being thrown under the bus.
Dana, I'm sorry. Is it just me, or do appliances not last as long as they used to?
Ugh, -t. Thanks for the reminder to call the dentist. I hope the process is pain-free and smooth.

Anytime anything in the house fails, it sets off husband's rant about Things These Days.

Things These Days
Hah. I've heard that one before.
My walls are conspiring to kill anything on them. Last week, my kitchen clock was found face down on the kitchen floor. This week, my Halloween clings won't stick. Plaster and lathe hate me.

Whatever happened to the god old days days when a refrigerator could withstand an atomic bomb and keep the contents safe and unharmed?

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the East German Refrigerator Training Program, there was a significant setback in refrigerator resilience and strength.
