This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Appears that one of my other duties here will be an alternative for leading the stretching class. Since it's geared around people with walkers and is mostly very gentle movements, it's not like leading Zumba or whatever.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

"woah" is totally wrong.

It drives me insane. (Though not as bad as people misusing "awe" when they mean "aw.")

Twinsies again! These two peeves are ENORMOUS.

Our wings are not tired.

Sounds like progress, msbelle. I know that block with admitting being wrong well. #1 son has never been able to hold a job and every single time it is someone else's fault. Everything wrong in his life is someone else's fault. I don't know if he will ever learn to take responsibility. I'm confident your mom understands his nasty phone call is a result of age and frustration. So hard to watch him shooting himself in the foot.

Watched the debate last night. Way past my bedtime so I slept in this morning. I have thoughts, but mostly it is up to the primary voters so we'll see. In a few months, since I have zero confidence in polling.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Samesies, msbelle, on the spelling.Also the awe thing is irritating. All part of embracing my inner crone.

I keep all that inside my head for the most part, though. I don't, like, actually berate people for it out. I just cringe in the privacy of my own skull.

I know I am somewhat unreasonable about people saying things like "baby cows" and "baby foxes" when there are PERFECTLY! GOOD! ENGLISH! TERMS! for these special critters that should not go out of use, dammit.

It's whoa and not woah. I saw baby cow I sometimes .

Msbelle I hope that Mac keeps moving forward and that this progress with reaching out to a therapist sticks. You are an amazing mom
