Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, but then half the stories in the world would be not good stuff, I think.

This is why I share so few stories anymore! "Look at this formerly-abused pet!" "Community raises millions to pay for child's medical care!" "Cops do nice thing!"

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

I think they cut way back, Amy. Not sure when that happened. They have a "snake" game in Maps. Back in the day they'd have something for every feature, right?

I see what you mean, Jesse. In that particular case, it seems like all the individual humans are bringing what good they can into a world with major systemic problems, so, on balance I'm going to say it's Good because that's so often the best we can do and it's worth celebrating

That is a better attitude, thank you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The LA Times story trolling the NYT is pretty funny:

Well played, LA Times.

You guys, I got an email "advertising" cheese toothpaste, and... I kind of want it?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mac came home about 9pm last night. We haven't spoken. I've been sending him texts. He was not up and ready for school by the time I left so he got there so e other way.

That's what I'm doing now, just giving him the parameters I need him to fit into if he wants my assistance. He has repeatedly not followed rules about phone tracking being on, so I am no longer paying for any data on his line, he can get his own service if he wants it. Same for internet, he can pay for half the bill if he wants it and then it will be in without restrictions. He wants freedom then he can pay like an adult.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sometimes it's better to just have the consequence than the yelling and so on -- easier to process and absorb the lesson (one hopes).

Rosemary may be moving to regular room today, so things are progressing well.

I acquired rolling papers so project Smoke Pot would be on but if I have to go over to the hospital later, that's probably not a great idea...

Yeah, that sounds fair.

Facts!
