Oh, I was actually thinking of sexual dysfunction as well. I miss Smilin' Bob and his commercials with the wood paneling backgrounds.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Pretty sure that Connie's post was actually about her feelings and only tangential to your stuff, Tep.

I didn't think it was a criticism of our situation! I probably worded it badly. Let me edit.
t edit Actually, I just deleted it, to avoid misunderstanding. I wasn't trying to argue or anything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I guess I should be thankful my folks are still able to do the snowbird thing, and plan on doing that as long as my dad's able to drive.(My mom doesn't drive anymore as she has lost her peripheral vision) They will both be 77 this year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In a sort-of-related-to-this-conversation context, my mother just said to me, "I don't think you're very neat." Seriously, mother?!?!?! I would say I'm about as neat as she is, but in different ways. Also she has a cleaning lady. Basically, she can kiss my ass.

OMG, I just realized half the problem -- she's constantly walking through my spare bedroom, because that's how she walks through her apartment, but I use it for storage and it is a shithole in there. Oyyyyy.

Our wings are not tired
It's hard, but I've mostly made my peace with it. Mainly I so acutely feel for anyone else faced with these decisions with their parents. I was trying to cope with this when I wasn't even out of my 30s. There is no way to know if you are making good decisions.
Steph, I hope that everything plays out in the best possible way for your FiL.

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.
I have a question for the swimmers among us. I ordered this [link] two piece suit and recieved it today. The bottom part fits perfectly but the top is not snug, a bit loose. Given that pants I order to fit my hips (because what else can I do) are often loose at the waist, it isn't surprising. But will I be able to get in the pool and do an aqua-Zumba class without the top floating up? Should I try to take it in a bit? It doesn't look particularly snug on the model, but then she is not moving vigorous in the water.

Yay, I don't have to report for jury duty service on Monday! One day down, four more days of uncertainty to go next week.
