msbelle, I wonder if you could baste your turkey with a valium solution?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Where in PA are you, Jen?

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
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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Your hair is adorable, Kathy. I like it.
I have this fantasy about keeping my wedding at 100 or less.
I tried to keep mine to 25 and got 50. It was a lesson in compromise.
My mom just moved me to the end on a Kindle book because I kept complaining it was not well-written and wouldn't end. She even found a vaguely wrapping up sentence to read to me before it was deleted. She's a cold-blooded ebook killer. ... It really wasn't a good book. I just felt compelled to finish it. And she, apparently, felt compelled to shut me up.

I'll be in Chestnut Hill, Hil (heh). Northwest of Philadelphia, if that's more helpful.
And thanks, guys!
And, Kathy -- love your hair!!

Not a holiday goes by that I don't wish this were an okay thing to do.
Yay, Perkins!
And yay moving, Jen! You do not need stuff. You need happy. And you've got that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
your mother antagonizing you is her way of forgetting about her health
She's not antagonising me...she's just shifting her angle to "There but for the grace of god go you..." She did try the self-deprecating "Well, obviously it turns out I don't know anything about nutrition" angle first, but I made her shut about that toute suite.
So I had broccoli with my dinner. But I will keep telling her to zip it and focus on getting well herself.
