Vortex, I continue to be impressed with how calmly you handle your mom and sorry that you have to.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Call me a prude, but I can't bring myself to look at slash fics from either Anne of Green Gables or the Chronicles of Narnia.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think "fond childhood memories" is a reasonable line to draw, WindSparrow.

Ditto. I've actually gotten to a point with my mother where I say what I'm thinking. Which, as Lewis is fond of saying, is scary for people who are used to it.

I have zenned past it. Now I am very anticipatory.
I was going to make Nigella's Coq au Riesling, but I was trying to avoid going to the store. So, I substituted cremini mushrooms for oyster, thyme for bay leaves, and shallots for leeks. I have pasta dough resting, which I will turn in to noodles.

I just spent all afternoon holding the calmest newborn I have ever met. I was in such a good mood holding him that I didn't do anything to the person who asked if I was pregnant.

The status is NOT quo.
sj, that's awful. I'm sorry.
{{{{Bev}}}} Not fun, love. I wish I could do something to make it easier.
...I was going to come in here and be a bit bummed about the fact I'm trying to pick a dress out by myself, which is lonely and hard to do, but it seems kind of petty now. I just wish I could take pictures or video and include people who can't be there, at least, but I get that boutique shops in particular are trying to prevent poaching. I just am not good at this, and I'm lonely.

Vortex, your zen is amazing. Also, your dinner sounds amazing, too. Can I come over?
{{{{Bev}}}} no fun at all.
sj, that is very generous of you. A thorough smiting would be deserved. Frogs and toads will drop out of that person's mouth whenever s/he speaks, for a year and a day. And the frogs will give her or him such dirty looks that many people shall call animal control and the ASPCA to report cruelty.
Kristin, it is natural that you would want people to be with you. I'm sorry you can't share with them.

Vortex, your patience awes me. as does your ninja cooking.
