So we are hopefully in the last hour of the turkey cooking.
We were right there with you but beef. God, I just either want to be in charge or the food or not involved and neither happen. "Let's just eat our salad and side dishes." Um, let's either wait for le cow to be warm. It's another twenty minutes.
Oh - vent time - so the no-longer-youngest twins are 16 and the girl is in treatment for an eating disorder. Totally proud of her. Recovery is hard. My S-i-L keeps telling her that she looks great. KNOWING SHE HAS AN EATING DISORDER, IS IN TREATMENT AND IS DANGEROUSLY THIN.
My S-i-L who when I lost a bunch of weight also kept telling me how great it was even though I flatly told her that I was nearly losing my mind and was in a bad head place. "Well, you look great." Thanks, trying not to lose my mind and I'm kinda scared that I'm losing that battle. "But you look good." Super positive.
It's bad enough that was her go-to for at least a year with me but, damn, saying that to a kid who is trying to get better and you know she's in treatment? Let's support her getting better. And she doesn't look good, she looks severely anorexic.
The niece is ready to rip off her other aunt's head. "She's so pro-ana." Yeah, that's accurate unfortunately.
Vent over.
This is the S-i-L who thinks the family-friendly Cards Against Humanity is too vulgar. But she's cool with advocating for anorexia.
Okay, now I'm done. I just can't say it elsewhere.
Okay, that's off my chest. Otherwise, it was a lovely day.
Hell’s bells, Cass, I’m about ready to crawl out of my sickbed and strangle your S-I-L myself. WTF is wrong with her?
I’m about ready to crawl out of my sickbed and strangle your S-I-L myself.
I like the way you are thinking. Fuck cancer but also fuck Karen? Yes, her name is Karen.
WTF is wrong with her?
So. Much.
Damn, Karen.
My takeaway is that most everyone who is still posting here has been posting for 22 years, and that is amazing!
That is amazing!
Which reminded me that sometimes I feel like I should ship Casper off to Holli for a couple of weeks so she can see the kind of person she could grow into (not into college, likes to make tiny precise things, currently wants to sew a kirtle).
I love that idea!
I'm currently waiting to get covid, since my mother has it and we haven't been isolating, so I am trying to get as much done today as possible. I can't believe we made it this long!
I'm late to the party! Blame it on the carb coma from yesterday.
Happiest birthday wishes to Jesse! I hope you are spoiled today, as you deserve, and that the year to come is filled with unanticipated delights!
Now I have to scroll back and catch up...
Happy birthday wishes to Theodosia! I hope the day is joyful and that the year to come brings all good things!
Merry Christmas, a touch late. Ma~ to all in need and I saw that congrats are due to Jess. Happy Birthday Theodosia!
Happy Birthday Theodosia!
Happy Birthday Jesse! I hope you don't get Covid (hey, a person can dream).
I lurked for a while, jotting post numbers on scrap paper so I could find my place in threads
I did the same thing!
I lurked for a very long time and when I finally delurked my first tagline was sophia talking about the wolf pack: “I was surprised when they ate the pig, but I was SHOCKED when they ate the principal.”
