Oops, sorry, I got my threads mixed up when responding.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

This week in the MidEast: an original idea for a washing machine ad [link] (to clarify: real picture, and everyone in the comments is now recommending this brand).
Rumors that there will be lots of bombings tonight, I'm considering to sleep on the torture device sofa in the safe room.

Severe weather is letting me down, man. My backyard is currently a swamp from the rain, but tornadoes are not showing up to do their job.

Damn lazy tornados. Take one girl to Oz and think they can rest on their laurels just doing whatever they want

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Well, it's been a week. Mr. S has been having a lot of emotional dysregulation, culminating with Gary taking him to Childrens' Hospital on Monday night. It has been determined he should be admitted to a behavioral unit, but they are still working on finding him a bed in one. Sigh...it hasn't even been two months since he was discharged from the RTC.
In different news, I did buy a new desk chair on Sunday.

That is so discouraging, Sheryl. I do hope that they find him room and that they have a better results with their therapy.

This reminds me to share "OMG he might be fully functional one day" news on my eldest. My SIL finally moved out so my son moved from the Florida room into the main house. I thought he might set up his computer systems in one room and his bedroom in another, but he opted to have everything in the bedroom. So the boys have all of their stuff in the 2 bedrooms, and the living room, den, and FL room are completely empty. I suggested they make one of the rooms a game room.
Anyway, I went over to help him get situated since he isn't so great at that. I washed his sheets, but he moved all his stuff into his room. I went back the next day to discuss selecting an internet provider, since he would be using a hotspot until that happened. He had already called and ordered it, and the equipment was on the way. By himself! Then I asked him about the chair that he had been using at his computer, since it was still downstairs. He showed me he had gone to Walmart, bought an office chair, put it together, AND bought a laundry basket for himself. (Previously just tossed clothes in the corner) Now, all of this may not sound like amazing accomplishments for a 34-year-old, but for him, it really is awesome. My sister laughed and said it was a good thing she was sitting down when I told her.
He is so brilliant, but with day-to-day adulting stuff, he is still a work in progress. But, baby steps!

Oh my, crickets for 12 hours. I hope everyone had good things keeping them busy today.
