Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Oh Teppy! That is a lot. I'm glad your brother is on top of things with your dad. Let's hope it is a medication issue. So often they can cause issues, like I need to tell you!

For real! I had to give that advice to a friend here who is superintendent of schools. The stress of Covid on top of all the usual life stresses is just too much.

On the light side, have you seen the First Time Hearing videos on YouTube? Young men - twins - who are exploring "old" music for the first time and making videos of their reactions. So far, the ones I've seen are positive ... but the reactions to the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter are priceless.

I love those guys! I keep saving their videos to watch later because watching YouTube is not something I can do much of for some reason, but what I have seen has been just delightful

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, Tep. That's scary and stressful.

It turns out she was just very constipated and gassy.

I vividly remember having to pick up Emmett from school because of intense stabbing stomach pains and being able to relieve just with Gas-X. Which we always keep in the house now for that moment. Just a reminder that gas can be very painful.

Yeah, like I said ltc doesn't complain, so I knew it was really painful.
