We debated democracy, intersex, performative sexual orientation, insurance and society, obsession with TV. Also Hollywood gossip with clips, and lots of technical troubleshooting.
I'm tired now, but not yet sleepy. Work it Ambien.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, I remembered ours. My niece just got dumped by her boyfriend in Afghanistan, which would have been less awkward if she weren't living in his parents' house. Oops.

Thrive to spite them
I don't have any current interesting gossip for my family.
Cash that's really funny.
Evander made up a new song - Daddy has a penis! Nina has a Vagina! Evander has a penis! Tina has a vagina! (Nina=Mom, Tina is brother's GF) this is a song he has sung loudly and with gusto in public places.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Everybody has to spill on theirs since we don't know your families!
The best gossip was after my grandmother died. And all my (older than me) cousins were talking about "that summer when we went to live with other relatives."
Well. Turns out my Uncle abandoned the family and my Aunt couldn't handle five kids so she sent them away.
Some of them were treated quite well. Others were literally sent to spend the day outside in the dirt and treated cruelly.
Then my Uncle came back after six weeks and all were reclaimed.
Also, he went AWOL in WWII which turned out to be an important career move for him. Also, his youngest daughter was fathered by another man. Which everybody in the family knew but her. She was his favorite.

Liese, you have a really good SO. Mine is the kind who would tell me to rush back because he likes my reaction when I'm in the middle of bullshit.
Apparently I am very entertaining when I am exasperated.
It does not FEEL entertaining at the time!

SO. Tired. Went running, took kids climbing, climbed, took kids to lunch, went home, fetched SIL, visited with parents, helped make dinner, cleaned up, lots of family talk and shepherding of three toddlers, created menu for Sunday, planned tomorrow, made meringues.
I am going to need a vacation to recover from my vacation.

I don't think I can talk about the latest family gossip, because charges might still be pending.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(What? I have a plan.)
Given my tag, this amuses me.
I need to reread bandpires now.
Family frustrations abound but not a lot of drama. Except my brother and sister in law asked what I thought of my sister's new boyfriend and the best I could say was that he seems to bring out the best side with her. Bro is a lawyer and rolled his eyes at me. Told him that it was factually accurate and technically not mean.
And an uncle is dating two women. One of whom is married and not in a happy poly way. Whatever. He also got shot in the ass once. I'm beginning to understand how that might have come about.
