I get a daily newsletter from WBEZ and it often includes some lighter fare. Friday's had a question about Halloween costumes and one response was, "Our 3-year-old announced he wanted to be tomato paste for Halloween."
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am sorry for all of the bullshit, Buffistas, for it seems there's plenty. Also, stares at Laura's son and at kids who are mean to ltc.
Hil, best of luck with negotiating reasonable WFH conditions. It is difficult.

Our wings are not tired.
One more week until election day. Oh how I wish hiding under the bed was an option.
I'm sorry everything is so overwhelming, Hil. Is there a possible young neighbor/relative/friend who might be able to help you with the house? I know Zenkitty and Sophia found help that way. Yeah, another discussion with your mother about having to work may at least help in the short run.
Yep, you get a toaster Cash!
Katerina, nice both to get the $ and to think of a new generation of kiddos enjoying the horse.

Hil - you absolutely can leave your house messy. It is ok to do that. Get yourself together, get what you need, take a break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love little kids. There's a funny picture around the internet of a kid about that age who insisted on going as pants for Halloween. (You know, you can criticize google for a lot of things, but it took me one second to find this! [link] )
I'm very glad my circus horse will get the chance to make someone happy again.
That is very cool.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Agreed. Dishes and taking out the kitchen trash are all that matters.

Waiting for the director of the school to call me back to discuss the horrible thing a boy said to ltc yesterday.

Concur. Or I'd never go anywhere.

Ugh. Not fun, and good luck with getting it sorted out.

At least she was suitable horrified when I told her about it at drop off.

I'm so far behind in this thread, but I'm here because today this has always been a place of refuge and safety, and I'm feeling so raw and angry about RBG being replaced by someone who will do her best to undo everything she fought for in her life.
