There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Oh, best of luck, Sheryl. I hope things are not too bad until you get there.

So my big brother had an editorial in the NYT today. Wild!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So my big brother had an editorial in the NYT today. Wild!

I'm such a fangirl of his.

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

Wow Consuela!

Punishingly Intricate

That’s so cool, Consuela!

I’m glad to hear that your son got a residential placement, Sheryl. I hope it works out for all of you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Very cool, Consuela!

ltc is back at school today and I’m reorganizing, decluttering, and listening to an audiobook that the live app will automatically return in two days. And I just listed a couple things on the mom group.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

When I was a little kid I had all 4 grandparents, 2 great grandparents and 1 step great grandparent alive.

Same, minus one great-grandparent. It's weird when I think about my last living grandparent not being a blood relative (my dad's mom remarried when her kids were in their late teens/early twenties, so he wasn't exactly my dad's stepfather but he's been my granddad my whole life).

Wow! A great great is impressive to me, I have some long-lived family but apparently they all had kids on the older side—I had a great grandparent on each side who lived to be about 100…but I was 2 and 4 when they died! I have pictures of me with them (and in one case, her journal of chopping wood for her stove and such in her 50s!) but no memories.
