Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Should I be good and eat leftover rice and peppers tonight with grilled or baked salmon, or should I go get a Mediterranean veggie flatbread from Tropical Smoothie?

Five years

Moved into a house of our own, even if rented
Got a roommate, got rid of the roommate, had a lovely year of solitude, now have two roommates, relatives of the first one
Said good-bye to my old cat
Said hello to my new cat
Finally got the government to agree that Hubby is too dinged to work
Discovered that a lot of those government programs out there do work
Lost my writing
Have managed to scrabble stuff together for real publication
Was lost by a friend who was decluttering her life
Said good-bye to my mother after the fact
Rediscovered my blood sisters and the land of my birth

So, the police just left. Mac called 911 and was screaming so they sent 2 officers. He barricaded himself in his room and since they are police officers and not counselors or social workers all they saw was a kid acting "not normal". They wanted to take him to a hospital for evaluation, but I told them I would call our therapist and ask her if I needed to take him in.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, msbelle. Vibing hard that things settle and your therapist has some advice for you.

Unsurprising the therapist does not think that a trip to the psych hospital would help mac come down from a highly agitated state.
