I apologized to my mom countless times for the ass I was as a teen. Knowing that they grow out of it doesn't really help a whole lot when it is in progress.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

I fought like the devil with my mom from 15-22. I was so awful, she kicked me out of the house my first summer after starting college (I deserved it.)
Sail, all good thoughts for your and your family.
Note: if you spill paprika on your white linoleum kitchen floor and leave it, it will stain. I'm trying to bleach it off today,in addition to doing All The Laundry.
I chopped 7 inches off my hair last night. It was loooong and crunchy at the ends. Still hits mid sternum, though.

Sail, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Strix, baking soda as a paste does wonders for Crystal Lite stains. In your shoes I'd try that first before bleach.

msbelle, I am not a parent and I don't really know what I'm talking about in general, but I can't help but think that the only reason he can "not want a relationship with you right now" is because deep down he knows you will be there when he wants to turn to you. And that's gotta be a win.

Thanks y'all. It will be fine, he will have his own part of the house at my parents' for the Holidays and can join us if he wishes. I plan on cooking everything because it makes me happy, watching the parade because it does also, watching football with me dad because he likes it, putting up Christnas the day after for my mother, and then doing the decorations in my house over the weekend. I did things alone for years, I can do it again.

Spelling question for the hivemind: I went to grade school in the '60s, in Southwestern Pennsylvania. I was taught to spell judgement with the e in the middle. As the little red squiggly line shows, this is not standard American spelling. I didn't come up with that spelling on my own, so I must have been taught it, and I was never corrected on it. It's the standard British spelling, and I'm wondering if anyone else was taught to spell it that way. I saw a story yesterday about both spellings being accepted. Does anyone else remember how they were taught to spell judgement (a spelling I'm clinging to, because get off my lawn)?

WindSparrow, I'll try that! The bleach didn't work, so although the rest of my floor is nicely sparkly, Splotchy Spice is still representing.
