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.
I love how many of us are in tech docs.
When I met you all I was a tech writer!
Shir, I meant to say earlier, I'm sorry you are having to deal with that. One of my long-time meatspace friends has succumbed to paranoia and refuses to get treatment (part of the pathology) and it's been hell on all her relations.
bourbon chocolate pecan pie is the bestest best
I will need to go and hunt down one. It sounds wonderful.
And thanks, people. I mostly wrote here because my heart was heavy after listening to him and trying to have a conversation with him, but I'm used to it (and it is hard and heartbreaking, every time). It's easier when I'm not there and not having to go through conversations that have very little to do with reality. But I found that living my life away from this is the best antidote. Emphasis on living - I learned so much on how to live by looking at my parents, and choosing another path. One with friends, and hobbies, and a life, and trusting people, and have meaningful conversations, and speaking my mind and expectations (well, still working on the latter).
Oh, and Happy Hanukkah!
And how should we pronounce "pecan," Susan?
I say pik-AHN, but I'm becoming somewhat less prescriptivist about such things in my old age.
Aw, Shir. That sounds so hard. Much love to you
Edited to add - and Happy Hannukah! I keep forgetting
How did the brownies turn out, Cindy?
Timelies all!
Another day, another mid-class meltdown from Mr. S. sigh....First couple of classes were ok, and the afternoon classes went alright, but inbetween...yikes.
This week off has not been terribly restful for me.
I just watched the worst LE product launch I've ever seen happen in real time. Hype a product set with a legendarily feral and large fan base, don't put it on the home or what's new page, don't tell people they'll have to use a specific search term to find the product page, and have it sell out in 5 min.? Your project managers are a disaster.
While I'm Really Angry about not getting the thing I wanted (Pete said he could feel my rage from the other room), I feel sorry for whoever has to handle their social media accounts. Which have said NOTHING in response to this.
how should we pronounce "pecan,"
You didn't ask me, but I'm going to say it anyway: p'KAAAAAN!!!
How did the brownies turn out, Cindy?
Like something a thin Bryn Mawr graduate, whose father was a Connecticut doctor, would bake and call "brownies."
