By the way, were people aware that there is an actual Vampire Ground Finch? I was watching a nature show and, sure enough, they drink blood (not enough to kill - they're small birds - but still).

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.
Dang, amyth, that is a lot!
I did not know about vampire finches. Neat!
Timelies all!
I have a bit of a sore throat. Don't know if I'm getting sick(I hope not, FKO is this weekend) or if it's just from all the yelling at Mr. S I've been doing.
Sheryl, Happy belated birthday! You deserve a multi-day celebration. Also, I hope your sore throat gets better quickly.
Laura, so much health~ma for your sister.
Vampire finches?! I had no idea. Neat!
wow - this has not happened in a while.
mac just lost his damn mind.
backstory - I got called to school today because he went to the nurse's office, ran to the bathroom, and got sick. That was about 1:20.
He missed 1 class of school.
So I drop him home, tel him to go to bed and go back to work. Get home at 5:15, he's on the couch watching tv. I ask him if he got sick again - no. I ask him how he feels - he says normal.
6:20 he comes in asking if he can go play basketball with a friend and I say no, you came sick, stay here and give it a day. He goes and gets his ball and goes to play in our driveway. I go and tell him to come in, if I don't want him playing ball somewhere else I don't want him doing it at home either. Throws the ball into the garage - screaming and yelling and "You're a horrible parent" and "he hates everything." I am looking at him like he has lost his damn mind, because HE HAS LOST HIS DAMN MIND. good lord child, sit on the couch for an evening - you do it all the time. I say that I am not going to have him talk like that to me, it makes no sense him being all upset and he goes on - so I tell him, you best just go take a shower and go to bed because your wireless is going off now. And he flips out and leaves with his old school flouncing and I am still just looking at him like he is crazy and asking him why he is getting so upset it literally MAKES NO SENSE and he starts insulting me again, so I say fine, leave please, get out of this house - you come back when you can talk to me and I lock the doors behind him. unbelievable.
so he may be sleeping at a friend's tonight.
Oh no.
I'm sorry, msbelle.
I'm all good by the way. It was so nonsensical and way off for him.
Something significant happened and he's upset and doesn't know how to express it helpfully?
