Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

msbelle, it's good you can come here to let off a little steam.

Kathy, I love the hair. It took me 10 years to find a hairdresser in DC, and I'd pay double to keep going to him. It's something you don't think about until you see what a good one can actually do.

PERKINS! HOUSE! ALL ASSCAPS! CONGRATS!

ita, your mother antagonizing you is her way of forgetting about her health. Either way, I don't think you're going to win that discussion.

One of the scavenger hunt items is a picture of a cat eating kale. Maybe we need to get a picture of ita ! eating kale to send to her mother.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Listen to your mother, ita ! As long as she's worrying about you, she's not worrying about herself. She needs to do the right things, but not worry about herself.

he's so self-centered right now and everyone else's wants are way way secondary.

He sounds like several of my adult relatives.

msbelle, I wonder if you could baste your turkey with a valium solution?

Perkins, how exciting!

msbelle, it is nice to see you post. I'm sorry it's hard. I hope your food is awesome, and... I'm quite sure I've never said this before... I hope your Cowboys win! Gulp.

I am officially in Pennsylvania! I move in to my new place on Sunday. Very excited.

Vent:

I love my mother and my sister-in-law, but I swear to god, I had barely landed here before they started pelting me with questions about what I had with me to move in with, and where was the rest of my stuff, and I just.. DUDES. Let me be excited, please, and yes, it sucks that I don't have every piece of furniture I need, but just leave it! I don't have kids or pets to take care of, it's just me! And I don't need much! Want? Yes! Need? Not a lot. And I will build slowly. THEY MUST CHILL!

I actually said pretty much that, though, and they stopped with the questions. I know it's just worry, but, really, food and shelter and work. All the rest will come.

End of vent

Where in PA are you, Jen?

Congratulations, Jen!

You people have been slacking. Why didn't anyone tell me just how good Flashpoint is? It's got Keith Mars for crying out loud. And some really good vistas of Toronto.
