Compassionately intolerant

Can I get an "OMG no she diint!!" for the end of greys?

Totally!

That was a really well played scene. I wasn't sure from one second to the next how it would swing.

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

Whoa! OMG, indeed.

Other stuff on GA: Not crazy about Derek taking Christina fishing, though I guess it worked out well, but loved Owen telling Meredith what's what.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Thanks Spidra. I put so much effort into my ornaments and I have gotten so many compliments. Not sure what I did wrong. Didn't think it would upset me this much but it is total pity party for one over here.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I know what that feels like. It's difficult to predict what makes people buy sometimes. It's hard to put so much of yourself into something and see people pass it by. Do you have an Etsy store? If you can cast a broader net, you may find people who are willing to buy as well as give compliments.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Welcome home, Kathy!

I am reading y'all talking about getting enough sleep and realizing that I should go to bed myself. I went to stretch class today. It was great, but I will be SORE tomorrow.

Aw, Suzi. Your ornaments ARE beautiful, but people who are buying embroidered toilet paper are not your market. Nothing you did wrong.

Ok, I can't believe I'm still watching because it's been AWFUL lately, but can anyone explain the very end of private practice to me? I've forgotten who those people are and why I should care or be shocked or whatever.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It does sound like a different market than you need, Suzi. I'm sorry they didn't sell, but is there a more boutique-style venue you can try? Etsy would be perfect for an online outlet, I'd think. People who shop there want handmade OOAK things.

Kathy, welcome home, and I'm glad things went well! Now that my meds seem to be balanced and actually working, I've dropped almost 15 pounds. I hope that trend continues. H was recently diagnosed diabetic. It was a complete surprise. I've been pre-diabetic since my teens, and haven't taken the kind of care of my body I should have, mostly from a POV similar to Connie's. And to Bonny's client--"why should I have to do things differently?" It's taken a long old time for me to realize that wanting doesn't affect physicality, not this way, anyway. But H has no family history of diabetes and had never had any indication it was a risk for him, so he's been freaking a little. Our doctor set up an appointment with a nutritionist, and I think we flummoxed her with the low-fat, low-salt, low-sugar, low-carb, high fiber, way we eat, while accomodating our various sensitivities and intolerances. She sort of nodded as we related our usual food choices, and cooking methods. "Well! Looks like you guys pretty much have everything covered. Here's my card, call if you have questions."

I hate thinking about food. I've been overweight and avoiding food my entire adult life. Once my kids were old enough to feed themselves I abdicated the role of family cook, because food shopping and prep required thinking about food. Food's the enemy. So I've been incredibly lucky to wind up married to a guy who loves to shop, loves to cook, listens carefully to my preferences and caters to them, and cooks well. I do floors and have other talents. He feeds me.

The one guideline he's had trouble with is portion size. I think most Americans are unaware of what a dietetically sound portion looks like.

Muppets on SNL: Skred! The Grand Phabog! I have fond memories of Skred cuddling up to Lily Tomlin. He was a prototype of the Skesis. es, from The Dark Crystal, only cozier and with more personality.

Kathy, am so pleased to hear your recovery is going well.

I lost about 25 lb the year before last and have kept it off so far. Moving to London really helped as you've no choice but to walk everywhere, and if I'm not forced to exercise, I won't.

My goal is to lose another twenty lbs or so, but I'd be happy with 10-15. Calorie-counting is the only thing that's ever worked for me. I just make sure I don't go over 1600 a day or so when I'm actively trying to lose weight.

It took me a long while to admit that I needed to lose weight. I'd always been skinny, like really skinny, that girl who everyone would say 'I don't know how you can eat all that and not put on any weight!', and it was hard to admit that I was not that person anymore.
