It sounds like your mom's doctors are actually listening to her, which is a real plus.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
They've been very good about that, yes!
I have 90% decided not to fast this year - my sister is heading home Monday morning and my brother is getting here in the afternoon so I'm going to bridge the gap (mostly needed so my mom isn't left alone in the house while my dad ferries people to and from BART) and really if I'm spending the day with people who aren't also fasting why bother. But glad I already took the day off work!

Yeah, 53 years ago today I decided "Anything but the fuckin' boat," and have paid every day, since. But every birthday I have beats the first one, too, I guess. Personally, I do hate Frank Burns, but I prefer hating him because the reasons feel so much more real to me than making fun of Charles Winchester(Was he a III, maybe, right) Margaret and Frank are probably the ones that taught me what an affair is, but they also didn't make it look good either so that probably saved my parents some time. Mexican food for birthday lunch. I love the ones with Sidney Freedman.
