I feel bad for the couple (especially the mushroom-allergic wife, of course), but I have to wonder why her husband/their son can't just come and tell his parents that they're crazy. Or, like msbelle said, send them the column.

Is anyone else having a hard time with b.org on your phone? It won't load for me today.

If this were in a book, there would be no question AT ALL that the in-laws are actively trying to murder that letter-writer. They're not naive or impolite or misinformed, they are straight-up trying to kill her.

Goddamnit. Someone who was in my mother's chorus when I was, ages ago, died a couple of weeks ago from something related to drug addiction and mental illness. His sister, who was in the chorus too, just posted about it on Facebook. This is going to hit my mother really hard.

No issues on my phone here...

No phone issues here.

So anxious today. I'm going to blame the weather.

No issues on site for me.

Damn I just dropped my deposit check for house in the mail. I had meant to send it certified yada yada so I could track it. Ugh. Debating whether to just stop Payment and transfer them funds electronically.

I'm sorry, Dana. That's awful.

I'd have gone to another dinner at the in-laws' and traded in the customary gift bottle of wine for a nice selection of death caps and destroying angels since they're so snippy about anyone passing mushrooms up. You know, so they could enjoy the dining experience the same way I would.

Okay, full-time job just sent me a rejection, so I guess that solves that issue.

Heh. Problem solved??? Hope the other is amazing.
