Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This game keeps getting weirder.
The 49rs offense is looking ridiculously inept. They have no ept.
So, it turns out that I do like collards if they're cooked until mushy and then cooked with lots of garlic and ginger.
So, you like them if you can't taste the collard?
This game is like Zeno's paradox.
Good lord, so much for that completion percentage.
So, you like them if you can't taste the collard?
Always a good strategy with vegetables.
Jesus Christ what the hell?
So all my work on my folks has been for naught. I went out to visit them today and they were like, "Nah, we don't need any help with cooking or shopping. But we could use help with keeping the house straightened up!" Note, please: they have a cleaner who comes every two weeks.
When I pointed out that hiring people to clean only works if you pick up your crap and keep the surfaces clear so the cleaners can clean, they just blinked at me. I suggested getting in a professional organizer to sort out their stuff and set up systems for them: no go.
Basically, my mother wants no changes and Dad isn't willing to fight with her about any of it. They completely missed FIVE appointments with their PCP this year and don't think there's anything wrong with their organizational system.
I give up. Nothing I can do is acceptable to them. The only thing they would accept is me moving in to run their lives for them.
I'm so fucking frustrated.
Consuela, I know this is insanely hard, but try to remember that it's not that you can't do things that are acceptable. They're making irrational decisions.
