What are you thinking right now?

[SecondStarTotheRight]

I can't be the only one who fantasizes about stewing the cat when he won't stop caterwauling.

 

[Melli12]

I need to book a course on how to do friendships. There are unwritten rules I don't know about, how to behave right?

I wish I could listen to my heart better.

 

[TheRealCallie]

I think I may need to get my kid that 4 wheeler with a snow plow on it. I'm currently trying to find someone to come plow it. No way in hell will I be able to shovel all that.

About my mum and coming hell. I'm planning to visit her next week, after two years. Normally I barely can stay with her for up to 2-3 days, and the planned seven feel like eternity. I'm already freaking out. She asks a lot of questions but never waits for answers. For her I'm always an underfed, underdressed and undercared kid. There will be a lot of tears and emotional blackmail, speeches about her poor health and dying, how lonely she is and helpless, how bad and heartless my sister and her husband are, and finally how ungrateful I am, while saying I'm her best friend. I know the scenario by heart. I can only sit, listen to familiar words flowing through the air and watch her face in front of my eyes, a bit like watching a 24/7 TV show while strapped to a chair and force-fed. She still is my mum though.

She still is my mum though.

I really empathise and can imagine how hard not just the visit but the anxiety leading up to it could be. Sometimes I just try and think about how relieved I'll be when something's over. At least you'll have us for sanity

if I were local, I might look out of my window, maybe send the dog out. Your driveway is still too peopley for me.

EXCUSES. There are no people, I live in the middle of nowhere! You may have to fight the squirrels though.

squirrels and a tenacious Jack russell, they'd soon clear the path by chasing each other.

Do you live in the Redwall universe?

I'm thinking flame throwers would solve multiple issues simultaneously?

Yeah, I've considered the flamethrower option. But that would just cause more problem when the wind chill hits 0 tonight. lol

 

[ewomack]

My grandfather once told me "sonny, if you use a flamethrower to solve a problem, then you have two problems."

It has the smell of wisdom, at least, as did he...

 

[SecondStarTotheRight]

I think I have to go out and play

 

[Sunless Sky]

God I wish I could sleep more.

More easily at least.

I can't get this from Brave New World out of the head. Had to look it up to get it right. Just the condensed version.
Probably the wrong place to put it, but to hell with it

I'm lucky, that I live in Germany. Our health care system still provides help for poor ppl and makes sure, that medication is affordable.

Making chicken noodle soup, right off the chicken carcass. So excited for lunch.

That's always been my favorite thing to make from scratch. Anytime I see some miscut chicken at the store I'm buying as much as I can afford than making about 10 jars of broth
