Yikes Liese. That is so not on.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jumping in to agree with Liese - it's generally better to start playing on an acoustic instrument.
I'd recommend a classical guitar, which has nylon strings.
eta: Nylons strings are much easier on the fingers than steel strings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am a recent convert to support groups, but I am SO INTO MINE. Even when it's just awful stuff. So good to have a group of people in the same situation.
I recommend them for everyone!

I really wish my bank would quit trying to get me to add overdraft protection to my accounts whenever I do a teller transaction. I know what that really means, and you're NOT trying to do me any favors, so cut it out.

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

Cats Playing Patty-Cake, Translated (The One)
A video of some adorable cats playing patty-cake (but not very well) hit YouTube back in 2008, but it flew under the rader until recently. Earlier this month, someone named Justin C. Elliott posted his interpretation of what the cats are saying during the patty-cake fiasco, translated into English for your amusement.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
she is looking for a magical answer that does not include letting go of her blaming the son AND her ex, or being who they are. She keeps bringing the child to me, despite verbally suggesting she does not trust me. I think she's hoping I'll unlock something 'normal' in him and she won't have to grieve or process her own feelings.
There was an episode of the NPR program The World that was about parents of kids with ADD/ADHD who then discover -- due to their kid's diagnosis -- that they themselves have ADD/ADHD. There was a portion of the show where listeners could call in, and one dad called in and he was just a seething ball of barely repressed anger. The way he described his son's behavior patterns did, in fact, sound super frustrating (although it sounded like the kid had ODD, not ADHD [not that I'm a doctor]). I don't deny that. But this dad was just so angry that it made me sad for the kid.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That bat costume pattern seems to have really inspired some folks. That's the second drawing of it I've seen (besides the engraving that actually goes with the pattern). The fellow who did my album cover did one as well. [link]
