Thanks, everyone. This isn't really new except for the actual threat, but there is always some drama from her around the holidays or birthdays etc because we don't feed the energy demon.
Laura, but my kindle was all the way in the other room...
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Holy shirtballs, sj. I'll often hyperbolically say that something is jaw-dropping, but this time my jaw literally fell right open. I never knew you've had to deal with this terrible person all these years--how much more amazing that she's even partly responsible for the existence of a gem of a man like TCG. I am so, so sorry.

JZ, sorry to hear about your brother's pneumonia, how is the rest of his treatment going?

My other inlaws are coming over today, and I think I'll take a nap because now I'm exhausted and shaky.

I'm so sorry to hear about the family stressors and bad news.

Here's one more for 2018: My roommate, who was re-re-re-scheduled for her heart valve replacement tomorrow, just heard that her insurance company is balking at paying for it, so it's being postponed for what, according to my count, is the fourth time.
Why the insurance issue didn't come up before this... no one admits to knowing.

Clearly a new heart valve is elective surgery for vanity purposes. Also, insurance companies are the greatest evil.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good thing we don't have faceless bureaucrats making life-or-death decisions in this country!

For fuck's sake . . . I want to know what kind of insurance the insurance company executives have.
