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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

So glad you're getting that time with him that you need.

Thanks. It’s definitely a blessing to spend this time with him. His body is failing, but his mind is sharp. So we’re going through pictures and talking about recipes, etc.

Compassionately intolerant

beekaytee, fingers crossed that the professional ozone treatment does its job. I'm so glad you and Cagney have a safe space to wait it out, and I'm vibing for a whole lot of zero-stress time ahead because you've more than earned it.

Bless. I'm ready for that! I'll post pictures once it's all done. I'm just voting for a positive outcome and will do whatever that takes. Even if it means running the machine again. The expert said 24-48, so I won't fret if more is required.

beekaytee, I am sending the clean~air~ma in abundance. Good to know about the Tyson's Corner destination. That is on the route I take twice a year and pet friendly accommodations are always helpful.

Thanks, Laura. All good vibes gratefully accepted. And, I genuinely endorse this place. Tell them Cagney sent you. The staff here now will remember!

Warmest wishes for the beauty of this time, sj.

I’ve posted a few pictures of Nana and Papa on Twitter. Nana died nearly 30 years ago. I’m not posting them on Facebook right now because relatives can be exhausting.

Our wings are not tired

Catching up a bit. So many of us are in the midst of adulting. Kind thoughts to all of you.

I’ve also been struggling. I’ve been mostly able to gather enough spoons to get through the days, but nothing really beyond that. Working on navigating getting some mental health support, but as so many of you know that is also profoundly exhausting with each step of the process having another group of gate keepers before hopefully getting to some real help.

Sending out all the vibes of support and strength - there's a lot going on here for everyone.

Hugs, ND. I hope things start feeling better soon.

I’m trying to decide if I want to go dancing tonight. I mean, I do. But not masked. But I don’t want to go unmasked dancing and catch covid either. Ugh. Decisions.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I miss Sam Sanders in my ear holes. When is he getting airtime with Vox? I am somehow to old to Twitter, so this may be discussed there.

Spoon~ma, Drew!

Rant ahead. Hanging out at my MIL's, which tries my patience despite her being a wonderful person. She has health issues and has nothing but excuses for not dealing with them. She's too old, that is just the way it is. She doesn't want to take any pills as they damage the kidneys. You name the excuse and she has it. So my patience is being tried. I came over earlier because she was dizzy and thought she might pass out. She has Chron's (refuses to treat) and I am pretty sure she is anemic so I went and picked up some liver and onions (yuck!) and a sweet potato, and she seems to be feeling better. Not that it worked instantly, but I think just eating something good. Her BP was only 105/58, but she sits in her recliner 16 hours a day and doesn't do anything so just getting weaker.

End rant.
